As you may know, several months ago I blogged about the trailer for 'Sleepwalk With Me'. After having watched it yesterday, I wanted to amend my views about it. 'Sleepwalk With Me' is a movie about a man who is trying to be a comedian and is having second thoughts about a girlfriend. Sadly for him, his entire family is hoping he'll marry his girlfriend. At the very beginning of the movie he develops a chronic sleepwalking problem which, naturally, is very present throughout the film. This is one of those movies where the trailer is probably better than the actual movie. Even though it is advertised as an off beat comedy I found it to be a demoralizing drama. Comical scenes were few and far between! Mostly you have a sad, meek, man who is to afraid to change anything about his life even though he is unhappy. I think the movie makers were trying to make some statement about the futility of life, which is their prerogative, but it's not an enjoyable movie. Once the credits started to roll I just felt sad, a little depressed, and was thinking about the hour and a half I wouldn't see again. It's a pass from me.
Hello, everyone! I finally managed to get myself to the theatre to see 'The Desolation of Smaug'! As most of you probably remember, I pretty much hated the first 'Hobbit' movie. Well, this one is even worse! Congratulation Peter Jackson, you outdid yourself. Your selfish, egotistical direction style has managed to absolutely destroy the middle section of the beloved Hobbit story. Let's get started on the details shall we? First! I know this has been talked about by everyone, but the High Frame Rate! It's distracting and clunky. I'm my opinion, it make everyone look like they were moving ever so slightly in fast forward. Also, it generally made the film quality look like a made-for-TV movie. I watched the first Hobbit in 2D so this was my first encounter with this laborious beast. They never should have done it. Second, the Hobbit feet. WHY WHY WHY? Why did they make his feet swollen to a comical, ridiculous level? They are meant to be hairy and tough,
