Best movie you saw in the last year

No matter what movie I pick, I'm gonna wanna go "no wait!" in five minutes anyhow. I'm going with Blue Valentine. The acting in this was just amazing and the story was completely real and heartbreaking. Bonus points for Michelle's tap dance to Ryan's ukulele filled croonings.

We could be movers, we could be shakers. If we could just shake something outta the blue we could get off the ride

Yesterday I received a tantalizing offer to see "Sucker Punch" with my pal Ashlee, who was armed with coupons. We got to upgrade to the UltraAVX theater at no cost AND we got a free drink when we bought popcorn. (Contain your jealousy, I'm just getting started here).

I enjoy really good looking movies, even if they lack in plot or talent otherwise. I was absolutely electrified by 300 and I enjoyed the visuals of Watchmen despite the complete bastardization of the comic plot wise. Naturally I was eager to see Director Zack Snyder's latest overture "Sucker Punch".


Firstly I have to say that Emily Browning is ludicrously good looking. Despite what I'm sure was a costly budget spent on C.G and visual effects, Browning is by far the best looking thing in this film.

See?! Eyes, skin, hair, lips, bone structure, this chick has it in SPADES. You almost can't look directly at her lest self loathing set in and you feel compelled to put your head in the oven ASAP.

Here entourage of babes were in no way repulsive either.

Ok, Emily Browning's insane beauty is the easiest aspect of this film to comment upon. Lemme preface the following with the statement that I ENJOYED THIS MOVIE. That being said, I probably wont watch it again or buy it. Here's why...
The plot is loose and awkward. Telling the story of Babydoll who is placed in a mental institution by her greedy and depraved step father. She is suffering from the guilt of having accidentally killed her little sister while trying to protect her from said evil step father. Bad daddy has arranged for Babydoll to be lobotomized in five days time. The institution then becomes a fantasy bordello where Babydoll joins forces with fellow harlots Sweat Pea, Rocket, Blondie and Amber and makes a plan to escape before the "Highroller" comes in five days time to claim Babydolls innocence and virtue. The girls enter another realm of fantasy as they salvage each item needed in their plan to escape. Each item involves a videogame level type adventure where these miltant babes battle steampunk zombie militia, dragons, orc type things and robots. The transition between these fantasies is awkward and sometimes you find yourself thinking "whaaaaa..?" but ultimately the fight scenes are great although maybe a little to reliant upon C.G with some badass explosions, airplane stunts, gunplay and sword fights. The girls are guided through each challenge by a creepy old man that says lame catch phrases like "Don't write cheques with your mouths that your asses can cash" or something like that. The script wasn't especially well written...

Another qualm I have is that all this fantasy sword fighting takes place while Babydoll is entrancing the enemy (bordello club owner, knife wielding chef etc) with her uncannily sexy dance (stiffle that erection, you never actually get to see her move). The girls are continually reminded that they already posses all the weapons they need to survive. NOW, are these "weapons" the girls tits or their minds? If it's their tits, I feel like that's a scummy enough message that the film should actually be a little smutty (disappointingly pg) and if it's their minds then "Hooray" but seriously, at the end of the day they are all just a bunch of bitches waiting to get lobotomized in the looney bin. ALSO if Babydoll is sexy dancing in her fantasy world what is she REALLY doing in the institution. Was it this?

Dear Oscars, it's not me it's you. definitely you...

Oscar,
We've had some good years you and I. I'm pretty sure my dad introduced us and we clicked right away. But gone are the days of absurdly long winded acceptance speeches and hilarious hosts. You've been reduced from your former glory to a three hour long nap. You've cheapened yourself and I believe it shows in your ratings. You've become such a ghost of what you once were that I simply don't care anymore. So I'm breaking it off, next year I will maybe catch your highlights (best actor/ actress, best directing, best picture), I may even just watch them online the next day (gasp!). Pregnant Natalie Portman winning best actress and Mila Kunis amazun dress was mildly entertaining but for the other 3 hours and 53 minutes, I could barely keep my eyes open!
