Movie Time

Two interesting  movies I watched recently namely: The Twilight Saga (Breaking Dawn) and Battle: Los Angeles.

I told you before I could only watch movies on TV or rent new movie from TV. For the price of $5.00/movie you have a chance to watch it for two days. If you want the HD version the price is $6.00. It's more convenient to watch movies on TV at the convenience of your own home and there's no hassle whatsoever when it comes to going to the washroom and the kind of snacks you have to provide yourself. You wont miss the scenes because you can stop the movie and watch it in the next few minutes. Also it's more convenient to watch movies on TV if you have widescreen flat television set as wide as 50 inches to 70 inches width.

So let's have that 'Breaking Dawn' with the alliance of wolves and vampires. Since this movie was viewed probably by millions of fans and maybe I was the last to watch it, I know now what that viewer name Lora was telling us about. True to her words the leading female character Kristen Stewart's portrayal is that of an innocent girl who looked anorexic and without facial expression other than "stunned face." As if she's stoned or something. Maybe that's her role, her character needs to portray without emotion, under hypnotic spell, stoned face, without remorse, sick, unable to make a decision for herself and confused. Who wont be? In that movie she married a dracula or a vampire and her bestfriend who is a man is a wolf. Isn't that unreal and crazy? That's what it is. Would you believe that there is such true story of a woman married a vampire and then gave birth to another being in flesh and blood and who knows what that baby is capable of. The higlight of that movie is the 'labor' where the whole cast don't know what to do. Lack -ing knowledge in surgery or operation of a baby, a child of a woman married to a vampire and what havoc and mystery they all will create in the next sequel is for you to find out in the next movie.

Battle Los Angeles, the movie is a platoon of soldiers trying to fight the group of aliens and robots. I first thought the fighting scenes wont end. Oh it ended at the end when they completely bombed the 'mothership.' Their bullets, guns, armalites, mortar, dynamites, armor never seemed to be out of stock. If that's a true story and the robots cannot be killed until only few of them that can be counted alive, hmm, dunno if that's a good movie or what. Looks like a suicidal mission. What they keep passing is a 'note' from one of the soldiers who had a letter intended for his wife which goes from one hand to another. What's the value of seeing a movie when soldiers die for battling such unbelievable enemies? What the president or leader of that place is doing? They are marines and looks like they believed in themselves when it comes to that kind of battle. Okay that's in L.A. and of course it's more than a town and a city. You have lots of robots and aliens who ruled that area what is your weapon to dismantle aliens? It brings out the problem of Los Angeles before if you still remember the 'riot' that made that area looks like hell. From then on the brawl and rampage is just minor and common happenings in that area. I was in the Philippines when I heard from another Filipina who went on vacation there and narrated to us that it was really chaotic , noisy and filthy. There were always patrol cars and helicopters patrolling at night, there's always a siege that never stop. Who wants to live there eh?

Not all that I watched on TV are movies that are rated for sale. There are FREE MOVIES too. The movies above are free but lately the newly been released in the cinema aren't. This morning I watched the science fiction film "John Carter" which is quite very interesting until the lady who is a professor in science and John Carter was doing the archaological findings on the wall which reminds me of Star Wars and Return of the Mommy kind of scene which is "very common." Redundant scenes. I moved away and do some other things cleaning the washrooms instead. When I came back to watch it again, the boy Ned has to open up a door and then John Carter appeared and showed himself to the boy. What's new in this movie is the space ship that looks like giant dragonfly, then the creatures who are green monster freaks endowed with four hands who can communicate with John who can jump in that alienated land that looks like ancient Nevada and Arizona. Over all rating: Not bad!
