Last Movie You Saw/Recommendations

[Rowan]

God Bless America

Its hard to talk about this movie without spoiling anything. Its a movie about a man that has lost everything and hates the world around him and begins to go on a shooting spree. He cannot stand what America has become. A nation that finds entertainment in the humiliation of others (lame american idol contestants) people that are praised for being ignorant, loud, self centered etc. All of this is explained in the movie in such a way that you could relate to how this man is feeling. The movie does an excellent job of getting you to understand the personality of the main character which allows you to immerse yourself in a world that isnt so far from reality.

Its a dark comedy and I would give it 6/10. It wasn't bad, but it wasnt spectacular either. It was like a decent game with no replay value. I dont think I'd watch it again.

Prometheus

This was the last film i saw, me and the girlfriend went to see it at the cinema. I was really excited as it was a 'prequel' to the alien films but she's never seen any of the alien films. Now she can't wait to watch them all with me when i get my blu-ray set for my birthday so it must be a good film if it can grab her attention and make her want to see the rest of the tale.

Overall the film was great, the graphics were amazing as to be expected for a big film like this and the story took some very different turns from what i was expecting, though i will try not to ruin anything for those who haven't seen it yet. The alien designs were not quite what i expected from the other films although good in their own regard. The final scene pulled it all together for me pesonally though. This is a good film i could easily recommend, even to those who have no previous knowledge of the alien franchise as being a 'prequel' the story is setting itself rather than relying on you to have any prior knowledge to understand most of what is going on. I did however find that knowing the back story from the other films helped me figure things out alot quicker than i may have done otherwise.

I give Prometheus a 9/10 simply because as amazing as the film was, and trust me it was, i found it too slow in the first half, too fast in the second half where some points seemed to rush by when i would of preferred a little more explanation into them perhaps. oh well here is hoping for more Alien films ^.^

I just saw Brave on Friday, it's my new favorite Disney and Pixar animation film. The story was really cute with some nice humor. Pixar definitely did a great job with their first film with a female main character (I believe this was actually their first "princess" movie); it was nice to have a story that wasn't about falling in love for a change, that shit gets old. All in all I'd give it a 10/10, I kinda want to go see it again but I'm a kid like that.
