Movies, Movies and more Movies

Hey Gays,

This year I have seen more movies than I have seen in years. I honestly can't remember all the one's i've seen off the top of my head.

Earlier in the year I decided to start going to the movies on sunday afternoons on my own. Jeff doesn't really like to go to the movies unless it is something he really wants to see. Jeff tends to like fantasy movies like Harry Potter and biopics he's interested in. I like em all or will at least give something a shot even if i'm not thrilled to see it. Honestly there were a few sundays when I didn't want to see anything playing but i would usually decide to go see something anyway. I saw 2 movies this weekend because "Milk" was something Jeff wanted to see so we went together on Saturday night. It was a great film, we both enjoyed it and the cast was fanatastic, a must see! Then on Sunday I went to see "Slumdog Millionaire" and that was fantastic as well, I loved it!!I loved the energy and cinematography of this film, really exciting, a must see!

Though these two movies were pleasing I have to tell you I have seen some real stinkers this year but the worst had to be "Vantage Point".I sat in amazement as I sat there being shown the same scenes shown over and over again but how it was effecting another person in the film. Honestly it is an interesting idea but it didn't work and people were actually yelling out at the screen or sighing when we realized they were doing another vantage point. It was laughable and predicatable.

The other stinkers were "Zack and Miri make a porno". This movie started out good but then seemed to forget about an ending and rushed to something that was a big snooze. The only redeeming thing I got out of this film was that Jason Mewes has a really nice cock, which they showed in the last few minutes of the movie. I walked away wishing I had a cock like that, gorgeous! I felt this movie could have been really good if the writing had been better, good concept, bad writing!


I have a few favorites and both I listed "Milk" and "Slumdog Millionaire" are at the top of my list but after thinking about everything I've seen so far this year
"Wall-e" was my favorite. I'm an old softy and I just loved the character of WAll-e, he was so sweet and gentle, this movie hit on all the things wrong with the world and all the good things, I loved it!.

Other good films were Jumper, Australia, Role Models, The Dutchess and Mamma Mia. Mamma Mia was a mixed bag, I loved the feel of the movie but it was also so cheesy and silly it made me uncomfortable..LOL

The other thing I learned about going to the movies or somehting that bothers me is that people will spend 12.50 to go see a movie but to get people to go see live entertainment for the same price is a lot harder and honestly i think there is a lot of quality live entertainment in NYC thats costs $10 that are more pleasing....but that is my opinion.

XO, BT
