Immortals

I hope you have been enjoying all the movie reviews I post here 

I really enjoy talking about the movies I watch and one other thing I like to do is reading. I really like the written word, sometimes more than watching movies and so I wanted to let you know that I will very soon be posting about the books I read.

Now back to this week’s movie review.

What can I say about Immortals?

Maybe the best thing I could say is, DON’T WATCH IT! The best way to describe the whole movie is CONFUSING.

When you see the trailer, you see the guy finding a bow, right? And then you think, ‘this guy was chosen and now he has found a source of power’. But you are wrong if you though that… He only uses the bow once in the whole entire movie, so it’s not about the power of the bow.

Another impression you might have upon watching the trailer is that amidst all the fight, the guy finds the love of his life… nope. He has a night’s stand with the girl but he doesn’t love her (which is very unusual nowadays right?) and the girl does not love him (again, very unusual nowadays for people to sleep with each other and not have any feelings for them, isn’t that true?).

Then you think it’s about divine powers… no.

About the guy making any kind of difference in the world perhaps? Not really.

About overcoming your battles? Umm… I don’t think so.

So, what is this movie about? Who knows!! I certainly don’t!

It’s one different story after the other. One time the guy he is fighting, another he hates the other guy, then he has his ‘time’ with he girl, then he is commanding an army… The stories have neither beginnings nor ends. It’s quite tiresome, I must say, even for people like me who like the 300 kind of movie.

There is a lot of blood everywhere, heads been smashed every five minutes, people being cooked to their deaths inside a silver bull (yeah, I know)… Let’s just say that this movie is REALLY R rated.

Do not recommend it at all.

Incepted Saga Finale - Friends with Benefits

Please read the title of this post again...

Now, do I really need to say anything else about this movie?

No, but I'll say it any way.

If you are smart, you will not even want to watch this movie. I didn't and never will. Why would I want to pour pure garbage in my brain? Why would you??!!!!!

Anyone who tells you that you can have casual sex with your friend, not have any strings attached, not be emotionally attached, not have any kind of commitment, give yourself to whoever will have you and still go about your life as if nothing happened is sick, and does not deserve your attention. If you have friends who would do that, then perhaps you should consider getting yourself new friends.

I tell you, this movie makes me want to throw up!

It's such garbage!!! I cannot stand talking any more about it!

Once and for all, THINK. OR SOMEONE ELSE WILL DO IT FOR YOU... like these guys who produced this disgusting movie!

Incepted Saga - Crazy Stupid Love Part I

Continuation from ‘Have you been incepted – Part II’

Where did the idea of the groom holding the bride in his arms and carrying her over the threshold on their honeymoon come from?

I remember seeing it in the movies and finding it extremely romantic. I also remember wishing that the same could happen to me on my wedding night. Although this is not exactly a bad thing, you will have to agree with me that if it weren’t for the movies, that idea would probably never have even crossed my mind.

If such a small, unimportant idea can be planted in our mind by the movies we watch, do you think that big, life-changing-for-the-worse ideas can also? I believe so!

In fact, I dare say that some movies are made with exactly that intention, to alter the way people think, feel and behave in general... and not in a good way.

One of these movies is undoubtedly ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’. 

Let me give you a brief summary of what the movie is about:

A woman married to her husband for more than 20 years decides to divorce him. She claims that there is no connection between them anymore, that the spark is gone and that they can no longer make each other happy. This is a very common thing nowadays right? But wait…

She slept with someone else. That's right, she wasn’t happy with her husband, he didn’t understand her anymore and so she cheated on him. The movie clearly sends the message that ‘If you feel your husband is insensitive, distant, distracted, doesn’t pay attention to you, it’s ok to cheat on him… after all, he left you with no other choice’.

Now tell me, SINCE WHEN?? Since when is it ok to cheat on your spouse? Since when has cheating become acceptable?

But this movie will tell you that it is! That it's just the way things are! It will tell you that the ‘poor’ wife was never at fault for the disintegration of the marriage and that the husband is to blame for everything. 

But that's not all! Here are some more indirect messages this movie sends: 

“It’s ok to be dirty, to have dirty thoughts and act upon them. As long as you are teenager... you’re good. Parents who know their 12 year old is watching porn on the Internet, should just laugh and do nothing about it. There’s nothing to be done…he is just a teenager after all.”

 “Wives, if you are not satisfied with your man, just find another one and make sure you sleep with him. You don’t even need to divorce your current husband before doing that.”

“Husbands, if your wife left you, please delude yourself into thinking that you can behave as a complete irresponsible single man. Sleep with as many women as you can… now is your chance.”

“If you are a handsome guy, you would be stupid to settle for only one woman. Just be a player and get as many girls to sleep with you as possible, if you can get a different one every night, even better.”

“Teenage girls, it’s ok to fall in love with a man 30 years your senior. If he thinks you are too young, just send him a picture of yourself naked and your problem is solved.”

I'm not exaggerating!!! This is exactly what you get from this movie... IF you are paying attention.

To be continued tomorrow...
