spidey-man

So I went to see Spider-Man this weekend. :D SO AWESOME! I really enjoyed the movie. I mean, I don’t follow the comic books or anything so I went into the movie with a fresh perspective and was just looking to be entertained. I really admire the filmmakers’ choice of Tobey Maguire in the lead role — he was perfect at portraying the conflicting emotions that Peter faced as he came to terms with his power. My favorite part of the entire movie was at the very end when Spider-Man is flying through the air and he sweeps right by an American flag — I love that image. Cause I guess when I think of Spider-Man, out of all the comic superheroes, he’s like the every-man. He’s not a rich billionaire like Batman nor is he a man from another planet like Superman — he’s just your average guy — your “friendly neighborhood superhero.”

The funniest part of my movie-going experience is that I went to go see it on Saturday morning — 10:30am! lol. I don’t think I’ve been to a movie that early since like elementary school. Hee. We just wanted to avoid the huge crowds of people during the afternoon and evening showings but it was just as packed. AND there were a ton of little kids — all of whom were super loud. Gah. I’m not the most patient person when it comes to kids. ::blush::

boo!

So I’ve had a pretty good weekend so far — haven’t done much but it hasn’t been bad or anything. :)

I went to watch 2 movies — Blade 2 and The Scorpion King. I’m not much of an action-adventure buff but they were both entertaining — and that’s all I really ask for in a movie. I’m not one of those people who needs to be intellectually stimulated in order to think the movie was good. I guess that makes me easy (?). (Heh, no not that way!) ;) I liked The Scorpion King a bit better only because it was a bit more light and of course, The Rock was in it. :P I don’t know why but I totally love him right now. lol. My boyfriend watches wrestling so by default, so do I. Ever since I saw him on Smackdown or RAW or whatever, I found him to be really intriguing. He’s just so charismatic and it doesn’t hurt that he’s cute. ::insert giggly smile:: Blade 2, on the other hand, was more dark — in terms of subject matter — you know, vampires and reapers and all.

Hmm… I’m going to do the Friday Five…

What’s your favorite TV show and why? Dawson’s Creek. I connect to each of the characters in one way or another — and I fell in love with them through the (at times) realistic and poignant stories that were told. Plus, I *adored* Pacey and Joey’s romantic relationship so I’ll continue to watch just to see these two crazy kids interact — all the while hoping that the writers will get a clue and put them back together. ;)

Who is your favorite television star? Joshua Jackson — he’s another very charismatic actor. He just draws you in to the scene, whether it be dramatic or comedic. I heart him.

What was your favorite TV show as a child? Beverly Hills Teens. Hee.

What show do you think should have been cancelled by now? Any of the reality shows — enough already!

What new show do you hope escapes the axe this season? Undeclared. I didn’t watch enough episodes to call myself a fan but what I did see was pretty funny.

I watched “A Knight’s Tale” last night – Heath Ledger and Shannyn Sossamon were really cute together but they sure couldn’t save the movie. I got really bored cause the storyline was so darn predictable. ::yawn:: The jousting and tournament scenes were really cool, though, if not completely violent and cringe-worthy. ::shudders:: I *still* can’t believe jousting was ever acceptable. The use of contemporary music was also a neat effect – too bad I found myself giggling when “We Will, We Will Rock You…” (yes, I’m pathetic. I don’t know the actual name of the song) came on. Hee.

I am now a huge Moulin Rouge fan. I just bought the DVD over the weekend and I finally got the chance to watch it today — and I just fell in love with the movie. I saw it in the theatre last June but I didn’t connect with the emotions the way I did today. ::sigh:: What a great movie — I have the soundtrack on repeat now. :D How wonderful life is now you’re in the world…

josh hartnett weekend

So I went to see the new Josh Hartnett movie last Friday (“40 Days and 40 Nights”) — it was a lot better than I expected. It was pretty funny, if even a bit corny and a LOT raunchy. But whatever… it’s Josh Hartnett baby! :D

On Saturday night, Rob and I rented “O,” which I found to be a really amazing movie. Sure it’s violent and disturbing and scary, but I think it says a lot about the power of manipulation and the control that jealousy has over people. Julia Stiles, Mekhi Phifer and Josh Hartnett (again!) were phenomenal in their roles — JH especially. His character was a sharp contrast from the “nice guy” roles he’s done in the past. It’s not a movie that you’d want to see over and over again but it’s definitely worth at least one viewing.
