Movie 7: Eragon

0_0

Oh my... this movie is awful... nothing bloody hapened except for setting up some sort of plot for a second movie.

1/5

Movie 6: Rain Man

See? I can watch "good" movies too. I just have nothing to write about after I see them... it's awsome and anyone who hasn't seen it needs to see it now.

5/5

Rain Man in 5 Seconds

Movie 5: MXP: Most Extreme Primate

It's a monkey... on a snowboard... a monkey... on a snowboard... a monkey that snowboards!!! A SNOWBOARDING MONKEY!!! Automatic 5/5 despite IMDB's disgraceful 3.9/10...

SNOWBOARDING MONKEY!!!!!!!

Movie 4: Teen Wolf

I kinda forgot my password for this blog... remembered it just now so I'll write up the last 3 movies I've seen.

Teen wolf is an awsome, fun movie. Basicly the kid from Back to the Future plays a clumsy, unpopular, not very sporty teenage boy then he starts to go through some changes... he grows hair in places there wasn't before... his voice changes... he begins to sweat more when he's in public places... of course this means he's becoming a warewolf :S He then uses his abilities as a warewolf to become the best basketball player in school and the most popular guy in town, gets the girl and eventually wins the big championship game.

Very shallow film but I enjoyed it. 5/5

Movie 3 - Battle Royale

Movie 2 - Yugioh! The Abridged Movie

If anyone on the ONM forum has been wondering what my sigs are all about, you should seriously start watching the abridged series.

Created by LittleKuriboh, the Abridged Series is a comedic series based on the anime Yu-Gi-Oh! and... you know what... if I have to tell you I'm not even gonna bother... go away and watch the episodes right now...






























serioiusly, go away. You're not missing anything...






























I'm not saying anything else about it...




















You're just wasting your own time by continuing to read this...


































































Oh, still here? Fine... it's 30 mins well spent. I know it's not "technically" a "real" "movie" but these are Chris' rules and I did say I'd be breaking the rules every so often!

Don't blame me! Some of the other people haven't even started writing thier reviews...

Oh well... 5/5. Funny "movie" and possibly the best "movie" made in the last year.

Movie 1 - Death Note

I started watching the Death Note anime series a few months ago, chosing to watch the english dubs cause I quite like them and because I'm not in a huge rush to watch the most up to date episode like everyone else seems to be. I've decided I wanted my first movie to be fairly obscure... and Death Note is about as obscure as you can get. Basicly... it's an anime that makes writing look exciting... yeah...

This movie isn't awful... I just don't like it very much... I felt like the only reason I understood what was going on was because I'd seen it in the anime before, which is something I feel film makers should keep away from doing. Death Note isn't really a story which can be condensed into the size of a movie and still make sense. A lot of what was in it could not have possibly made any sense at all to anyone unfamiliar with the anime or manga. Although, at the same time it was clearly not created for people who were already fans of the anime and manga series so nobody should really mark them down for that.

Ryuk was the only character in this movie that was CG, and I'm undecided on whether it was good CG or bad CG. It was bad in the sense that it didn't seem to fit with the surroundings and was unrealisticly real/realisticly unreal... if that makes sense to you. I can't quite explain it; you need to see it for yourself. However, it was good in the sense that it had charm to it, like Jack Skelington almost.

Light was played by Tatsuya Fujiwara, the awsome guy from Battle Royale, which strangly enough as I was writing this my little brother who had borrowed it for about a year now came in and gave me back my Battle Royal DVD o_o He looks just like Light, but to be honest they could give anyone that hair and they'd look like Light. At first he doesn't act like Light acts... and doesn't appear to have Light's sense of morals as he if first shown playing Basketball against another team for money, which is something I feel Light wouldn't do. It just doesn't fit his character at all...

Oh well... 2/5. It's a decent enough movie but it's sub standard and not very well made at all.

And it begins...

I'm gonna try and do what Chris is trying to do and watch a film a day then write about it here. No idea why I'm doing it, I just am and I'll probably end up flunking out of uni cause of it... oh well :P

Unlike Chris though, I'm just gonna watch whatever comes in front of me. There's no rhyme or reason to it. Most of the time it'll likely just be me taking a look in my cupboard and picking something at random; some of the time I'll just watch something on film4 or one of the other free movie channels like True Movies if it still exists because my parents were too cheep to go all out for the sky package that has movie channels; occasionally I'll stream something off the internet and when this happens you can be pretty sure that I won't have paid for it ;-)

The Rules:

1) Since 2008 is a leap year, I need to have watched 366 films by midnight on Wednesday 31 December 2008.

2) I do not have to watch one film every single day: I can watch no films on a certain day, then two films the following day for example. The only important figure is the final total at the end of the year.

3) Short films will not be counted: a film must be over 60 minutes in length to qualify. So I can’t cheat by watching a “short films collection” DVD.

4) If I fall asleep during a film (which is known to happen), I am allowed to resume the film later from where I left off.

5) Feature-length TV episodes (such as the Family Guy “movie” DVD) do not qualify: the film has to be widely accepted as a proper movie.

6) Duplicates do not count (in other words, if I watch Airplane! in March then watch it again in October, that only counts as one film). This way I can't cheat by watching a favourite, short-ish film numerous times.

I am, however, willing to stretch the rule about short films. I can forsee myself watching a few episodes of a TV show then claiming it as a movie but only in extreme circumstances.
