I’ve watched The Animal; funny comedy, sort of like The Shaggy Dog only with a wider variety of animals and never becoming fully one creature. [spoil]One funny part was when this guy looked like he was being a cannibal, because of his mouth being messed with red liquid, then he holds up berries and says, “I love berries.” "[/spoil]
And Just My Luck, with Lindsay Lohan (I can’t believe she’s, like, adult already!). It has an interesting concept, trading your luck everytime you kiss someone. What I didn’t like, though, was the part where [spoil]she kisses random guys around just to see who’s the right one. I understand it was comedy, but it still annoys me.[/spoil].
And The Parent Trap, the version with Lindsay Lohan as a little kid. Man, she looks so different (but still recognizable). My favorite quote: “Sure thing, Cruella.”
Meredith: “What did you call me?!”
Twins: “Nothing, nothing, not a thing, Cruella.”
I’ve been quoting that for days!
In addition to that, Bedtime Stories again. Creative concept, funny parts.
Very well pulled off film.
Race to Witch Mountain - Somewhat enjoyable. However, I saw it from a bad-quality screen on a plane, and somehow found it hard to understand everything (there was something wrong with the sound, too, if I recall correctly.)
Also kind of predictable. But a fun action film nonetheless.
Also saw Monsters Vs. Aliens, too. Better than I expected, to tell the truth. I thought it would be full of overrated jokes, including gross ones, and very predictable humor and action. Actually, I found myself feeling [spoil]sorry for Susan for being forbidden contact with the outside world and realizing what a jerk her ex-fiance was. The part where the monsters feel like outsiders remind of Lilo and Stitch in a way.[/spoil] And the jokes were pretty funny, actually. B.O.B.'s (I almost typed Bloo, lol) [spoil]constant losing his senses kind of personality reminds me of Dory’s short term memory loss[/spoil]. This movie was better than I thought.
And I also saw Hannah Montana: The Movie. I wasn’t that hyped up for it, actually, at first. For one thing, movies about your average cliche teenage crisises aren’t usually worth my time. Also, I expected it to be predictable, because the plot’s not all that new. Somebody who’s barely worked in his/her perfect life is suddenly punished and has to stick around doing something he/she hates until he/she actually begins to like it. The plot’s been used with teenagers a lot, but also with Cars, kinda (but I’m not saying Cars is unoriginal).
HOWEVER though it does has it predictable parts, like all movies, it does have its own unique touch to it. And surprises. [spoil]Falling in love with that guy? Saw that coming before even seeing the movie. Getting closer to family heritage? Been there, done that. Revealing her secret to the town because she can’t take it anymore? Did NOT see that coming. [/spoil] Those songs she sang, about the Climb and the Butterfly? Beautiful, touched my heart. While most of her Hannah Montana songs are about boyfriend/girlfriend issues, double life, and partying, these songs are inspirational. And I like inspirational songs the best.
But I do not like how [spoil]quickly her character changed. I expected a more gradual attitude change. Not after some talk, she suddenly sees the light.[/spoil]
