i know this isn't technically a film...

But the video Flash Delirium by MGMT is blowing my mind. If I tried to describe it to you, it would be an epic failure. Even though I love the band, their videos tend to scare me. MGMT's video for Kids was frightening for two reasons: children and children who see demons that no one else sees. While this video is void of any psychic children, it does include ventriloquist dummies (hate them), dancing old people(love them), and a windpipe that talks. Yeah, I know. And even though I covered my eyes for the most part, I was still engaged and even enchanted by the images. The video, which can really be considered a short film, is beautifully filmed and makes you think about what MGMT's message is. What do I think the video's message is? I don't think there is one. Maybe it's an ode to Oscar Wilde and aestheticism. Or maybe they just like fucking with their fans. I have no clue, but I think I'll be watching this video until MTV replays it 400 times to make me sick. Bitches!

it's not my fault, i was forced to read them...

I have a confession to make. I love the Twilight series. Don't get me wrong. I know that the writing is horrible, there are grammatical errors, and it's basically a cheap romance novel. But I think that's what I love about it. Stephenie Meyers has created characters that are overly dramatic and have the same intensity as telenovelas. Do I really care about Bella? Not really. Do I really care if she chooses Jacob or Edward? No, they're both hot. I think it's the fantasy of having two of the most perfect men fighting for your attention. That's why I'm super excited that my favorite book in the series, Eclipse, is coming to theaters soon, under the direction of David Slade (who also directed Hard Candy, a must see in my opinion). Eclipse finally brings about the tension surrounding the threesome of main characters. Whatever team you're on, it doesn't matter.  Take a look at the official trailer and tell me there isn't enough eye candy for you to surround yourself with some fellow twi-hards.

wanna be a man? learn to train your dragon!

That's basically the premise of the new Dreamworks film, How to Train Your Dragon. It features the recognizable voices of Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson, Jay Baruchel, and Jonah Hill. The film's plot centers around a young male viking, who basically sucks at being a viking. By sheer luck, he develops a relationship with the wildest dragon around, and learns that dragons aren't really that bad. Aww. Sure they breathe fire and destroy homes, but besides that, they love to share their half-eaten fish with you. Within the first fourteen minutes of the movie, I knew exactly where it was headed and I began to lose interest. Sure there were a couple of jokes and reference made for the stroller-nazi moms in the crowd, but it was too predictable for my taste. But then I got to think of my favorite childhood movies and realized most of them were predictable too. When you're a kid, you don't know how the story is going to end because you haven't read enough books, or seen enough movies to know the formula. At that point, I began to see the film with new eyes (and not just my 3D ones, which by the way freak me out) and enjoyed every little nook and cranny of this dragon "tail". If you don't mind an easy plot and love Scottish accents (YUM) then taming your dragon is what you should do.

hello world!

I want you to get to know me better and to figure out whether you should waste your time reading my blog at all. Therefore I decided to give you a review of one of my favorite movies ever. Now I don't think there are many people who would think that Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino didn't change the game. Whether you like it or not, you have to admit that it invented a new genre and has spawned many attempts to recreate the magic that takes place between Mia, Jules, Vincent, Marcellus and Butch, but none of have succeeded. The film's non-linear storyline and the use of vignettes are just the icing on the cake. The real batter is the fact that Tarantino has been able to create characters, who seem so foreign to most people, and make them completely believable in the every day world. I don't know about you but most of my friends don't have a gimp, and if you do, really? Like for real, for real? Dirty! They talk with the kind of speech that makes them Oscar Wilde worthy. If you've never seen this classic (and yes, I do mean classic), then I would hit up your netflix account real quick and make like a baby tomato and "ketch-up".
