Plus One!

So thanks to a lazy day off this past Wednesday I'm now actually up by one film(84 on the 83 day) which feels awesome :D

I watched yet another Ryan Reynolds movie(I seem to always watch and enjoy his work) this one was called "The Nines" Which is on Netflix instant watch(of course, How else do I watch stuff?) and its basically three different stories that slowly come together, I enjoyed the first story far more than the other two, As I feel the final one more so seemed to just quickly tie things together and explain the outcome. It was very good til towards the end I guess. But Ryan is still an awesome Actor, I like his multiple personalities an so on.

Ended up looking for an Action movie and "From Paris with Love" was what fell into my lap, nothing real special by any means but hey it was fun and i found some laughs in it as well. I once again didnt really care for the end of the film but oh well.

"Black Dynamite" is not for everyone but man was it filmed awesome or what? It seriously felt like it was a classic from the 60's or 70's but shockingly is from last year. Its a comedy action spoof deal not for everyone.

Saw a few other movies(which you can check the Movie list above to see what they are) But i wanted to also say that I finally beat the Xbox 360 video game "Enslaved: Odyssey to the West" yesterday, Its not a very long game by any means(My raptr account shows about 7 hours on it) but i kept playing an hour or a level a day so it took awhile to beat it. I very much enjoyed the easy to pick up and play kinda game. The fighting and shooting wasnt anything special but it still didnt get on my nerves, That would be the camera, specially at the final boss at the end. For some odd reason the camera got stuck in a far back view which nearly killed me.... But that was honestly my biggest problem with the game was the camera system.  I loved the story and the characters and the world you are thrust into. I say give it a try.

Running to 78

I have updated my list of watched films and as it stands now on the 78th day of 2011 I have watched 77 films, So i happen to be a little bit behind, But I think I'm doing pretty decent. I hope to catch up and be on track this coming week but you never know what will happen.

Thankfully Netflix and WWE have come to an agreement to show some wrestling stories on Watch Instant, which has been pretty awesome. WWE Can actually put together some decent productions if they want(True Story of WrestleMania) or they can half ass what they feel they can sell their fans(Rise & Fall of WCW) but over all its been pretty fun watching classic matches(highlights anyways) and interviews. WWE has a few more on the site to watch.

Anywho, Just figured I would update my Movie List and went ahead and typed this quick rant up as well, Have fun.

Battle!

I finally got to see another film on the big screen in 2011, Battle: Los Angeles.

I really enjoyed the film as a whole, It had its moments in which i kinda felt they should have cut a thing or two out of the film(I'm looking at you little Marine) But I think it kept the cheese factor at bay almost the whole film. It had its moments of "Whoa this is totally a video game" as well as "How freaky would this be on the news" Kinda stuff.

CGI was pretty most of the film, I think the only meh i had with it at all was the first time our marines face off with the aliens, other than that i think it was done very well, gritty and real. If we bring anything "real" into this film I have to say the shaky cam worked alot better for this movie then i had thought it would, I went in expecting to get dizzy and end up hating the camera work but over all I loved the Documentary feel we had for most of the film, It does jump out into a more action packed shaky cam but I was alright with that.

The cast was large but only a few characters really stand out, one of them happen to be Raper turned Actor "Ne-Yo" who i found to be one of my favorite characters in the film. But The lead role of Aaron Eckhart was amazing, I do wish the "little marine" part which i had talked about earlier could have been done differently but otherwise I loved it.

Anyways end that little mini review rant and would like to say my movie watching adventure has been doing alright. I have had some zero action days but thats just what happens, I also have had several action packed days with movies.

So I shall  update my movie lists now.

The dragon tattoo

I have finally finished reading(and watching) "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" I must say in the long run i enjoyed the book and after watching the movie i enjoyed the book even more so. I can not wait for the American remake, I do not believe i have evr looked forward to a remake more then I am for this one.

I have already started reading "The Girl who played with fire" I hope that this one will not be as hard to get into since i now know the list of characters and such, but we shall see.

My movie list of course has grown since but i figured I will not post them all in the update instead just update my Lists(found above) so that I can keep this update semi short.

Snowocalypes did keep me from doing plenty of things, including watching movies or even going to work, Had a pretty huge snow storm that completely covered my car let alone my town. So when the power went out i was by no means surprised. however it did make a perfect opportunity to read my kindle and dive deeper into Dragon Tattoo.

Since the last update I watched all of the British TV show "Survivors" Series One on Netflix instant(Have i mentioned how much i love netflix?) The show was pretty solid for the most part. Its very much so a zombie show without the zombies(aka humans trying to screw each other over and find moral reasoning and such) Some might just say its a post apocalyptic show....and they would be right. Most of the world is killed off leaving only a few survivors. I have not started Series 2 yet.

I also finally started watching "Justified" since i bought season one on DVD, I however did manage to get very far into it but the first disk is sitting next to the ol laptop so it might see some more play time in the near future.

Otherwise Just wanted to post a quick update to let whoever know that I did not die nor forget that i wanted to keep track of what I did in 2011, As well as try and watch over 365 movies this year.

Check the movie lists links above to see how I'm doing.
