Daydreamer's Film Talk

It's been already two months since I've posted anything. I know only a few actually read these, but I feel it helps me to become a better writer the more I write. It's the same reason I write on Facebook or Twitter, even if no one pays attention I like to have my thoughts out. I know I've said I'll write a review on every film I watch in the theaters, but I now realize that I can't, for the simple reason that sometimes I go to the theaters to kill time with my friends, and rarely do we any film I think is worthy of talking about, because they made that much little impact in my life. I can't promise what my next review is or when I'll do it. All I can say is that when I find some worthy to write about, I'll be up.

It's been a whole month since I've seen this film, but there's things about it I just have to write down.  Insidious : Chapter 2 is the 2013 sequel to 2010's popular horror film Insidious, both directed by James Wan and written by his longtime collaborator Leigh Whannell, who not only wrote and made the first Saw film with Wan, but also starred in Saw opposite Cary Elwes and and stars in these films as Specs. The main cast is Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Barbra Hershey, Ty Simpkins, And Lin Shaye all reprising their roles from the first film.  The premise of the sequel unfortunately cannot be told without spoiling the first film, but it's one of the points I want to bring up. The new film begins right where the last film left off, when Renai finds Elise dead and suspects Josh, who had been in the room with her before. But when he shows up, he convinces her that he has no idea who killed her and they decide to stay at his mother's house for awhile. This is where t...

Well, I haven't posted since August, and in that time I've come to a few decisions on what I want to do. Whoever's reading this, this IS what I want to do: write. It's the only thing I can say for certain that I'm good at. Of course there's always room for improvement but that's what life's about, at least in my opinion. I've decided that I'll start reviewing all films that I watch in the theaters and films I watch at home and then get the urge to vent on what I thought about them, old and new. For certain, my next one will be on Insidious : Chapter 2, since I have immediate plans on watching it tomorrow. Stay tuned. 

This review's being written two days after  what I consider one of the best days of my life. Going to the movies for me is always a special day (unless the movie is crap) but on Thursday night, it was a special event that I was attending.  I won't talk a lot about the films, as they've all been thoroughly reviewed by others, including the new film The World's End. It's already been released before, just not in the U.S. When I refer to the Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy, it refers to the three film collaborations of actors Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and writer/director Edgar Wright, who've all worked together since their 1999 cult show Spaced.  The first film, Shaun of the Dead, was released in 2004 and can only be described without going into detail as a romantic comedy with zombies, which is the tagline. When this film came out, I was too young to watch it, but I was aware of it and thought of it as one of those films that makes fun of scary movies. After watching...

As I'm writing this on the bus ride home, I feel content. With all the crap released this past few weeks in theaters, I couldn't find a good excuse to go see a movie. Then again, it's hard to top the last thing I saw, which was the terrifying and entertaining horror film The Conjuring. Then Kick-Ass 2 came out.  The sequel to 2010's Kick-Ass, it did not disappoint me. The story kicks off with Dave Lizewski/Kick-Ass natrrating how a new batch of superheroes have emerged, inspired by his heroics. He's retired, but he's quickly bored by this and decides to join the new superhero group known as Justice Forever, led by ex-mafia enforcer Colonel Stars and Stripes. Meanwhile, Mindy Macready/Hit Girl is trying to live a normal life after promising her guardian, a police officer who knew her father, that she'll give up crime fighting, which proves difficult when Chris D'Amico amerges as the new super villain The Motherfucker (no, seriously, that's his name.) ...

As per someone's request, my next review will be on The Lord of The Rings Trilogy. I'll admit, because its been done so many times before and the films themselves are long, I was skeptical, but I will do my best. I'll also quickly review the first Hobbit film and my expectations for the upcoming installment.

I'm nearing the end of my three part review of The Mighty Boosh. Now all I have to do is review the third and final season and leave my final thoughts on the show as a whole. If only it were that easy. The final season of The Mighty Boosh didn't air until two years after the second one because the show itself was on tour for most of that time. As with season 2, the setting has changed again, but not as drastically. The flat is no longer the beginning of episodes and the series instead center on Howard and Vince running a second hand shop called the Nabootique for their friend and owner Naboo. I read in another person's review that Fielding and Barrett said in interviews that they wanted to take Howard and Vince to their extremes. Taking that into account, I felt this was a bad move as Howard is more of a Debbie Downer when things go wrong for him and the always flamboyant Vince is even more self absorbed to the point that he cares more about a colorful cape than helping ...
