Warning: some tunes may be highly infectious

What I’m listening to right now:

The Isles - Great New York band, listen to Major Arcana, the first track on their Perfumed Lands album

British Sea Power - from their EP Krankenhaus?, one of the best songs is Atom. Infectious music.

Born Ruffians - Kind of reminds me of Modest Mouse for some reason. I liked Kurt Vonnegut, a track off of Red, Yellow & Blue

The Dodos - They are back! Visiter is an awesome follow-up album to Beware of the Maniacs. I liked God? and Eyelids off of Visiter.

Destroyer - From Trouble in Dreams, a great track Libby’s First Sunrise

Frog Eyes - intense, atmospheric music–my favorite track off Tears of the Valedictorian is Idle Songs.

Minus the Bear - Funky in parts, a little Incubus, I thought. From Planet Ice, listen to Double Vision Quest.

So, what else is new?

Naughty, naughty

Hugh Jackman, villain. Kind of has a nice ring to it. In the film Deception, Jackman stars as a high-powered attorney who turns out to have a knack for conning people. He lures Ewan McGregor’s character, a naive accounting consultant, into involving himself in the dark, underground world of sex clubs. It seems like they just made strip joints sound classy, but really, it’s just that. However, what’s interesting about the film is McGregor’s performance of a clueless employee who finds himself in a web of deceit and danger, and Jackman’s equally fascinating portrayal of a somewhat narcissistic megalomaniac. Michelle Williams and Maggie Q also star as seductresses in this movie reminiscent of 8 MM.

Live long and prosper

So Star Trek is officially in the works. To those of you who have not seen the teaser trailer while eagerly waiting for Cloverfield, too bad. But to give you a sneak peek at the star-studded Trekkie cast: Zachary Quinto [Heroes] will be young Spock, and of course, Leonard Nimoy as older Spock. John Cho [Harold and Kumar Go to Whitecastle] will portray Sulu, Eric Bana will play Nero, Chris Pine [The Princess Diaries 2] will play Captain Kirk and AntonYelchin [Charlie Bartlett] will play Checkov. Winona Ryder will be Amanda Grayson, Karl Urban [The Lord of the Rings] as Bones McCoy and last but not least, Simon Pegg [Shaun of the Dead] will play Scotty (which for the record, I think is such a great choice!). I’ve never really been a Trekkie, but I’ve seen a couple episodes. I can’t wait to see how J.J. Abrams will spin this one off.

Ron Perlman as Hellboy in the upcoming sequel, The Golden Army

Seeing red?

Yep, you definitely are, if you know that Guillermo del Toro, the master behind Pan’s Labyrinth, is back with Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. Now, I will be the first to admit that the first Hellboy movie was forgettable the first time around. I remember going into theaters to see it, but emerging somewhat befuddled. Perhaps this was because I wasn’t able to pick up the comic book beforehand, but I thought the characters were pretty charmless. However, I got it on DVD recently and I have a newfound admiration for del Toro’s film-making. His movies are so picturesque and elaborate that you just want to watch it for the beauty of the work. As for the brilliant storyline or whatever, still doubtful, but I hope that they will work on this for the second film. If you would like to view the trailer: http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809826056/info

Ooh, it looks good, right? Ron Perlman, Jeffrey Tambor, and Selma Blair reprise their roles as badass paranormal crimefighters.

The Brothers Bloom

Starring the lovely Rachel Weisz, Adrien Brody and Mark Ruffalo, The Brothers Bloom is about two brothers (duh) who are world-renowned con artists, who are about to quit the con business–but only after one final job–to swindle a millionaire [Weisz].

Not quite Darko

So I was eager to see another Richard Kelly movie after I saw Donnie Darko and figured it was the most confounding yet endearing movie I had ever seen. There was a lot of buzz about Southland Tales, and people had high expectations, after Darko became such a huge cult hit that it became simply a matter of Kelly being able to top himself.

Unfortunately, the star-studden Southland Tales was more confounding than it was endearing. I got through all of 15 minutes of the film before I got bored and decided I wasn’t enough of a Sarah Michelle Gellar fan to sit through the whole film. Sure, I dig her in Buffy, but so far her movie choices have been less than admirable. Harvard Man was like an excuse to shoot a sex scene, Cruel Intentions seemed like she wanted to ditch the good-girl, cutesy image she had in Buffy, which she probably figured, “Hey I know, I’ll make out with Selma Blair and it’ll be cool.” And Scooby Doo? Don’t even get me started.

Anyway, Southland Tales…I don’t even know what it’s about. Apparently it’s the end of the world and the film is set in Los Angeles. I guess someone nuked the United States and things are all futuristic and whatnot. Sarah Michelle Gellar plays a pornstar named Krysta Now, who has a chat show where she constantly insists that she likes to get fucked hard. She dates The Rock’s character, Boxer Santoros, who’s supposed to be  some important guy who is married to the vice president’s daughter. He has amnesia for reasons that I cannot understand and he’s now teamed up with Sean William Scott to get experience for a film he’s doing. If you’re getting any of this, then I applaud you. Apparently you have more patience for nonsensical brouhaha than I do.

Simply put, Southland Tales is a whole lot of nothing. Big names like The Rock, Justin Timberlake, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Amy Poehler–they all mean zilch when you have a movie that has zero for premise and even zero of plot development. The characters are not relatable, the plot is too thick to even attempt to slice at, and it just seems like Kelly was trying too hard with this film. There’s a fine line between being artistically confounding and being silly.

Yes to consumerism

So I’ve actually never done a post on advertisements, but I feel like it’s time to do one, as I’ve seen some pretty good ones. I’ve especially loved the new Levi’s commercial where a couple tries to undress each other, but they keep going through different styles. See it for yourself, it’s pretty neat.

And another one I loved was the Ballpark Franks commercial–fucking hilarious! I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw it online. It’s just so stupid that it’s actually funny.

And another cute one is MSN’s commercial. It reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite.

And of course, there’s the freecreditreport.com commercials.

And here’s a really neat commercial from Honda. It made me smile at the end.

And oh my god. This commercial was hilarious. Apparently it was banned because it obviously gives the wrong idea about children haha although most would say it’s just reality and that the “use condoms” message was probably successfully conveyed in this commercial, but see for yourself.

And this Citi commercial is cute, too. “It’s like…elf food.”

From Snickers. “Quick! Do something manly!”

This one is pretty out there. I’m wondering if this ever made it to TV. I mean, there’s nothing blatant or anything, but you get the idea. The end of this commercial made me crack up so much. Brought to you by Durex…

And

THIS one if freakin’ hilarious. I almost fell out of my chair laughing.

Finally, FedEx usually has really good ads. This one I thought was cute.

Why we love movies

The newest Hollywood darling: Amy Adams

If you’re not an Amy Adams fan by now, it’s time to jump on the bandwagon.

I had loved her in Junebug, and thought that she was just absolutely adorable. Given the tons of crappy movies she had to do to get to where she is now [Cruel Intentions 2, anyone?], it’s only fair that she finally got her due. In Enchanted, she officially got catapulted to superstardom.

The thing about Amy Adams is that no matter what role she’s in, you want to believe her. You believe her as the pregnant, naive Ashley in Junebug, as fairytale princess Gisele stuck in the real world in Enchanted, and soon, as an American actress in 1939 London in Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. Her acting is so honest and so earnest that you can’t help but fall in love with her. And she can sing too! If you saw her performance in the 2008 Oscars, you can say for yourself that she truly is gifted.

Fairy tale princess Gisele (Adams) shows real world beau Robert (Patrick Dempsey) that you can burst into song and not be locked up for insanity.

Enchanted is such a fun movie. It reminds us why we love movies. Maybe I am escapist–but that’s what movies are for–as a means of escape from the complexities of the here and now. We want to disappear for a few hours and feel like we’re being transported into a completely different place where we interact with characters that you can fall in love with or detest completely that the emotions course through your veins as if you’re really in that situation. This is why I enjoy fantasy and science fiction–because you can just forget about your shitty day at work and pretend you’re soaring through space in a Firefly or dodging bullets in slo-mo and a killer leather jacket a la The Matrix. In Enchanted, it was such a feelgood, overall enjoyable film. It was funny, charming, heartwarming–hell, it even brought back a bit of the kilig that I haven’t felt in like, forever. I think it’s kind of sad that a lot of the movies out there today that we like or give credit to are the serious ones that highlight social issues and have strong dramatic characters. I mean, is that really what a movie is about? Giving a strong enough performance or tackling a controversial enough issue to warrant an Oscar win? What about the movies that tell you to lighten up? The movies that don’t need intelligent, witty banter penned in their scripts to get attention?

James Marsden plays the pompous yet dashing Prince Edward

I thought Enchanted was this kind of movie. All the right elements, enjoyable performances, and even well-composed musical sequences. James Marsden was so much fun to watch in this movie. Patrick Dempsey was his usual McDreamy self, which was probably how he got the role in the first place, so no surprise there. Susan Sarandon as the evil queen was also pretty neat.

Overall, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie. I have seen so many serious movies and gripping performances that I forgot what it’s like to just sit back and be entertained. Gisele’s philosophy isn’t entirely wrong: dreams can come true, true love can be found, and happily ever afters aren’t impossible. Animals can clean your house, bursting into song can suddenly turn people into professional dancers–hell, I’ll believe it all if Amy Adams tells me it’s true.

James McAvoy, veteran of the unrequited love business

Then there was a man and a woman...Keira Knightley and James McAvoy play two lovers in a passionate story of lies and separation.

The thing about Joe Wright’s movies is they look absolutely exquisite–literally like moving pictures or paintings. Pride and Prejudice was so atmospherically beautiful, and now Atonement is just breathtakingly picturesque. Despite my efforts to dislike Keira Knightley, I couldn’t help but be wowed by the film’s cinematography–the tones and the use of light to convey that dream-like yet starkly real quality of Ian McEwan’s gripping tale of deceit and longing. Every scene in this movie seemed like a snapshot of life and the characters felt like subjects moving in slow motion; as if they stepped out of a painting of 1935 London high society.

Overall, the film’s story was immensely powerful–two lovers forever separated by one little girl’s lie. It made me angry, because as a hopeless romantic, you can’t help but feel heartbroken everytime lovers don’t get their happy ending. Especially when James McAvoy is playing one of the parts. McAvoy is such a chameleon–in a short involvement in film he has managed to show us different facets of his acting. This summer he will be starring in sci-fi/fantasy-ish superhero film Wanted with a gun-toting, fast car-driving Angeline Jolie, whose character seems like an amalgamation of her roles in Gone in 60 Seconds and Tomb Raider. McAvoy is familiar with the unhappy ending–after all, Becoming Jane was immensely depressing for me, especially being a Jane Austen fan. McAvoy’s portrayal of Robbie in Atonement was powerful and precise–and you couldn’t help but feel for his character.

Knightley, on the other hand, was just awkward for me to watch, because I really don’t see her as a great actress. When she cries she looks like she’s laughing, and she kind of slurs all over her words when she speaks. I couldn’t understand half the stuff she was saying. She’s also incredibly bony, so when they were doing the love scene in the library, I almost felt bad for her, being squished like a grasshopper by McAvoy’s newly-buffed frame. She did look like a grasshopper in this film–her green dress was magnificent, but she so rail-thin that I got distracted by her bony arms and as a result, she came off like an insect. I did, however, like how in one scene where she’s in a bathing suit, she dives into a pool, and the silhouette she made when she dove was just awesome. Although I attributed it to Joe Wright’s masterful direction when I saw it.

So basically the story revolves around Robbie and Cecilia, who are two people from different social

Hey kid, hasn't anyone told you it's not nice to read other people's mail?

backgrounds. Robbie is a housekeeper’s son who is smart enough that he is able to climb the educational ladder and become somewhat of a scholar, making him extremely attractive to the bored socialite Cecilia. They’ve been eyeing each other for the longest time, but keeping it under wraps until one day, Robbie decides to finally profess his undying love for her through a letter. He starts typing up these drafts and accidentally sends the wrong draft to Cecilia through her nosy brat of a sister Briony [played by the very talented Saoirse Ronan]. The draft is pretty scandalous, considering the time period they were written in. The draft is just Robbie goofing off, typing in what he wishes he could tell Cecilia (how he fantasizes about her). In the letter, he uses some pretty severe language given the time period, he uses the word “cunt”, which causes an uproar. And when Briony reads it, she goes into this whole telling spree that leads to a whole slew of tragic events.

Saoirse Ronan wowed me in this film because she was able to make me despise her so much that I was practically snarling at her everytime she went onscreen. It’s scary how there are so many talented kids in the industry these days. Dakota Fanning, Abigail Breslin, Freddie Highmore.

Anyway, the movie is overall a powerful tale of circumstance, but although the tale is powerful, there was still some sort of disconnect with the characters. I mean that as a viewer, I was not fully invested in the characters to be able to weep for them when the tragedy occurred. I would have liked to have known more about the characters so I could relate to them more. The psychology of Briony was very fascinating. She did what she did because so many things contributed to her decisions: she was the youngest child in the family–a bit of a snot-nosed brat who seemed to always want to impress the adults, and she also had an overactive imagination, being somewhat of a frustrated writer.

Anyhoo, I would recommend this film to anyone who likes James McAvoy, to those who appreciate beautiful cinematography, and if you liked The English Patient or A Very Long Engagement. I have not read McEwan’s book, but I am kind of curious now, so I might just pick it up some time.

Ready to go green?

So, when I first learned that another Hulk movie was in the works after the disastrous 2003 Ang Lee creation, I groaned. I mean, it’s been done. It was awful. How many shades of green can you apply to make the oafish superhero look awesome? Apparently, according to Edward Norton, lots.

Norton talks about how passionately he feels about the character of Bruce Banner/The Hulk

At Comic-Con ‘07, Mr. Norton, Liv Tyler and company paid us geeks a visit and revealed their concepts of the upcoming film. Ed Norton seemed really passionate about making this movie, and he actually wrote the screenplay for this film, so it’s going to be interesting how he’s going to reinvent Bruce Banner.

The story will revolve around Banner trying to find the cure for his radiation-induced monstrosity, while at the same time trying to evade General Thunderbolt Ross [William Hurt], who is determined to find Banner. Tim Roth will play a character called The Abomination, who exhibits everything Hulk-like, except uglier and nastier. Think the gross monstrous mutant thing in Resident Evil: Apocalypse that Alice desperately fights on the rooftop–only in seaweed green with veins popping out of his face.

Judging from the trailer, the film looks pretty awesome. To those of you who haven’t seen it: http://incrediblehulk.marvel.com/

The Incredible Hulk will hit theaters summer of ‘08.

An awesome speck

So I’ve been making it a habit to see all the animated films that come out with my sisters. I don’t know, I guess I’m trying to convince myself that I’m actually a good sister? Anyway, never mind the psychology behind my giving up of precious weekends. Today we saw Horton Hears a Who, a film based on the beloved Dr. Seuss classic.

I thought the film was a success. The translation from book to screen was absolutely flawless. I loved that they continued to keep the narration from the actual book, as the book itself was timeless. The best parts were just listening to the actors play these wonderful parts. We all know Jim Carrey is all about performance. Even as a voice he is able to breathe life into clumsy elephant Horton, who discovers that a tiny speck actually has life on it. Whosville is the name of the minuscule land in the speck ruled by Who Mayor [Steve Carell]. Horton’s discovery of Whosville threatens the authority of Kangaroo, queen of the jungle [voiced by the amazing Carol Burnett], who immediately enlists the help of Vlad the vulture [voiced by Will Arnett, who I initially mistook for Sacha Baron Cohen because of the likeness to Borat's voice]. Other stars in the film include Amy Poehler, Jesse McCartney (who has like, three lines), Isla Fisher, Seth Rogen and Dan Fogler. I thought the cast did an overall excellent job, especially Carrey and Carell.I would have liked a bit more interaction with Horton’s friends, such as Morton, which was voiced by Seth Rogen [Knocked Up]. The film also took a while to establish its meaning–for example, it wasn’t until later in Kangaroo’s speech that we understand the politics of it all and how it even comes off as religious in a way. Questioning authority, thinking for yourself, spreading your own “gospel” and deviating from the norm…all very strong issues tackled by an animated movie. This is why I love cartoons. Despite coming off as slapsticky and silly to some, it remains to be a huge medium for enculturation. Where else does a kid learn all these moral values like friendship, loyalty, bravery, forgiveness and selflessness but from cartoons, right? I like how instead of demonizing Kangaroo at the end, they had Horton show how big of a heart he had by forgiving her. I also liked the depth of the story between the Mayor and his estranged only son, Jojo. It’s an age-old drama, the whole I-don’t-want-to-follow-in-my-dad’s-footsteps kind of thing but this film spins it differently and makes it more interesting.

My favorite part was at the end, when the whole cast breaks out into song to Journey’s Can’t Fight This Feeling Anymore. Hilarious! I also loved how they portrayed Jojo as this surly, emo kid, complete with unruly dark hair and very Conor Oberst shirt. I really liked how not cheesy it was, even with such strong preachings of correctness. I got a little choked up when all the Whos started chanting “We are here!” so the outside world could hear them.Overall it was a fun movie to watch. Beautifully translated onto screen, funny and dynamic, with a spectacular cast. All I really need to know when I grade animated films is whether my sisters liked it, and they did.

A journey to self-discovery

It’s a shame that Christopher McCandless had to venture so far to find the answer to happiness: The true happiness is the one that is shared.

Into the Wild is a film written for the screen and directed by Sean Penn, based on the book by John Krakauer, which chronicled the adventure of Christopher Johnson McCandless, a 22-year-old fresh grad who decided to leave everything he knew–his family, belongings, money–behind to explore the great American wilderness. Along the way, he meets some pretty amazing characters who influence his quest for finding himself. His goal was to reach Alaska, and that he did. Unfortunately, after ingesting some poisonous plants, he died of starvation in a beat-up, old Fairbanks Transit System bus in the middle of nowhere, where 4 months later, some moose hunters would find his body, and his journal.

I thought Emile Hirsch displayed such a range of talent in this film. I’ve always been a fan, and I knew that given the right movie, he could outshine any young talent out there. Sean Penn saw something in this guy, and I’m so happy he was given this role to fill, because he did it flawlessly and with such respect for the character that you have to admire him. Apparently the criteria that Penn was looking for in the actor to fill McCandless’ shoes was the same “disarming idealism” and physical resemblance to McCandless himself. He made the absolute perfect choice. The path to becoming the character, however, was treacherous. Hirsch had shed 41 lbs of his body weight from simply being out in the wild and doing things he had never done, such as river rafting and steep rock climbing. Quite the method actor, really. But you only learn from the best, right? Penn was adamant about recreating the intensity and atmosphere that McCandless faced in his journeys.

I liked the movie and thought it was a successful delivery on the parts of the actors. Except Jena Malone. I think I’ve expressed in previous posts how I simply dislike her. It’s just that I don’t think she has a very big range as an actress. I’m also angry because she has had a very long career and started really young, and you would think she would show more facets when performing. She’s been in movies probably longer than Hirsch and he outperforms her in just one scene, even though he is the star of the movie. Kristin Stewart was also annoying to watch. She looked really disturbing–extremely thin and scantily-clad, although I don’t really know if that was the intended portrait the producers wanted to draw of her character. Her portrayal of the character was a little hollow–there was no depth. William Hurt and Marcia Gay Harden once again delivered, despite being in the film for oh, a total of 15 minutes maybe. Catherine Keener was especially great, and of course, who can miss the beautiful performance by Hal Hollbrook? I wish he had picked up an award for this role, because he was just brilliant. Restrained, precise and heartfelt, his performance drove me to tears! Also, the soundtrack by Eddie Vedder was amazing and it definitely helped create that yearning atmosphere that the movie was going for.

McCandless (Hirsch) gets emotional at the sight of a herd of deer leaping beautifully across from him.

I thought the film’s message was profound and meaningful, yet I thought the ending didn’t seem quite resolved, even though it was probably precisely what had happened to Chris McCandless. This movie is one that every twentysomething person should see, because it’s an accurate depiction of what it’s like to go through your quarterlife crisis or fresh grad crisis. You have this education and you’re probably going to secure a white-collar job for yourself, but what does it all amount to? What does it all mean? Is life as mundane as simply getting a job, making enough money to buy more shit we don’t need? The movie did an excellent job in showing the beauty of the wild, and it did an excellent job showing the suffocating atmosphere of the city. The thing about this movie is it awakens the dormant idealist in you. I used to be so idealistic. But due to circumstances that you sometimes feel like you can’t get out of, I succumbed to the routine of life. Sometimes it gets sickening to get up and work, get up and go to school, eat, sleep, shower, repeat. It all gets so monotonous and they don’t mean anything. They don’t help you understand yourself, which is what this movie is trying to explore.

This movie left me with two warring emotions: anger at McCandless for being so selfish, and a quiet peace at knowing that the world is out there, waiting to be discovered–shown to us by a daring, thoughtful 22-year-old named Alexander Supertramp. I was angry because McCandless had met all these wonderful characters, and he touched their lives immensely. But because he was so driven, and he was so intent on reaching his goal, he made them second priorities. I thought that on his journey to self-discovery, he devalued the meaning of human interaction. However, he had every reason to. We all encounter problems in human relationships, and he’s right: I don’t understand why people treat each other so badly, too. But when you meet people who are magnificent, and who treasure you just as you are, you can’t throw them away because they only come along once in a lifetime.

I believe this movie accomplished what it set out to do: pay respects to a great hero whose life has taught us that there is nothing more challenging and fulfilling than leaving all your material possessions behind in search for yourself (Fight Club has that same message somewhat: you’re not your khakis, or the amount of money you have in the bank; You have to find out for yourself who you are) and to bring back that sense of idealism that great lives are made of. It asks us to think about what our lives are supposed to mean, and to not settle for anything less than what we dream about. Emile Hirsch said it in the movie: “If you want something, don’t be afraid to grab it.”

I’m still a believer

…in the power of animation.

I’ve always been a Disney Purist, and I’ve always thought that there couldn’t be anything better than the classics. Aladdin, Mulan, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast…these were monumental stepping stones in animation history and they had such a magical quality to them that as a kid, watching them felt like you were stepping into a completely different world. I still love the classics, and I have every one on DVD, including one of my favorites  The Sword in the Stone. However, we have seen so many brilliant animation films from Dreamworks and Pixar, that I’ve come to the conclusion that maybe it’s not so bad to dive into the waters of the future.

One thing that is vastly different between the newer animated films and the classic films is the target audience. There has been a shift from prepubescent boys and girls to a much larger audience, including adults aged 18 to 30 or so. I’ve noticed that not only is there an emphasis in injecting realism into the films, but there is also an attempt to engage the adult audience by using humor that is appealing to adults that younger audiences might miss. By realism, I mean that sure, Finding Nemo was about fishes, but the world in which they inhabit is a stunning reflection of current society. The humor is more modern and even biting, sometimes. But as always, there’s always the undeniable moral heart of the animated film.

This is what I loved about the animated films. It takes some serious ingenuity and mastery of a craft to present such hardcore ideals and moral values and make it funny. Animated films always have a moral story. In Shrek it was about loving a person just as they are, and accepting them fully regardless of how they look. In Mulan it was about bravery, and breaking through the barriers of a long-dominant patriarchal society. In Finding Nemo it was about family; The Lion King about leadership and finding yourself. This is why I think it’s so important that the cartoon industry continues to improve and modernize. Children need something that’s fun, lighthearted, yet full of values that are universal to all of us.

That said, FREE THE BEES!

I just finished watching Bee Movie, the newest animated film featuring the voices of Renee Zellweger, Jerry Seinfeld, Matthew Broderick, Chris Rock and John Goodman. To be honest, when I first heard about it, I thought it wasn’t going to be funny. I had never really been a Seinfeld fan. I never really “got” the show Seinfeld to begin with. So I thought that this movie was just another attempt by an actor to fulfill his quota of movie-type-to-be-in-before-I-retire kind of thing. Boy, was I in for a pleasant surprise.

Not only was it hilarious, the visual aspect of the film was tremendously great. Now, I don’t know if anyone remembers, but we’ve had a couple of bug movies already. Dreamworks’ Antz [1998], A Bug’s Life by Pixar [1998], and The Ant Bully from Warner Bros. It seemed a tired subject to do yet another bug movie. Ah, but so far, I have to say this is my favorite bug movie. It’s a well-made script, Renee Zellweger shines (again) in this role as a human florist who befriends Barry [the bee played by Jerry Seinfeld], and it was overall just a fun watch. My sisters enjoyed it, and that’s good enough for me. Best of all, it retained the quality that animated films have always had: the unstated yet implied moral lesson. This movie made me feel like a kid again. And coming from a 20-year-old (I know, I’m not that old, but you get my drift) who’s been watching depressing films like 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days and Cloverfield, you can understand how it feels like I’m back in a candy store.

Overall, I would highly recommend Bee Movie to those of you who haven’t seen it. It was a successful film.
