It snowed this weekend and there was also some thunder and it was also windy and cold. Aside from some quick excursions to places like the gym (to work out) and the supermarket (to get beer and nachos), we stayed in and took it easy, and by “took it easy” I mean we watched a bunch of movies we accquired through means of questionable legality. So here, for no reason other than something else I was working on took too much time and I don’t really feel like typing anymore lengthy passages are Five Sentence Film Reviews~!
Bedazzled
I might have seen this movie once before, but I’m not really sure. I think it was like Gladitor in that I never had seen it from start to finish, but I’d seen enough pieces of it at various times that it counted as seeing it once. Jinhui had not seen it so we watched it. It was moderately funny, but Brendan Fraiser is a toolbag deluxe…not his character in the movie, but just him as a person. If I ever go back and do a revamped list of people who need a beating he’s going on there.
Snakes On A Plane
The means of questionable legality had a Korean summary written on it that included the phrase, “I’ve never seen a movie with more snakes before in my entire life,” and this Korean Roger Ebert was totally dead on! Jinhui in particular liked this movie because the title told us exactly what we were going to be getting (unlike some movies). To my knowledge this movie never offically came out in Korea, and I had to wonder why. Since far worse, far more violent, and more sexual films had all been released here, the only thing I could come up with was that Koreans didn’t like the fact that the enemy was a dude named Eddie Kim. Either that or it was the dude with the 農母告 (농모고 / Farm Mom Tell) “tattoo.”
Littleman
Translated from Korean: “Funnnier that Hot Chick.” There’s not really anything else to say about this movie other than the fact that it totally ripped off a Bugs Bunny cartoon and also I wanted a jacket worn in the film by a toddler. It was this totally sweet maroon cordory jacket with a cartoon tiger patch on the back that looked a lot like the lion I draw. There’s nothing else to say about this movie. Oh, Tracy Morgan was in it.
So there you go three five sentence movie reviews. This has been a presentation of 西洋오랑캐 Enterprises.
