The Proposal
Ok so Bullock and Reynolds team up for this romantic comedy…i guess you can call it that. It wasnt to romantic or comedic. But its about a big time New York book plushing editor played by Bullock who is a big cunt and is hated by everyone especially her assistant Reynolds. Worse comes to worse and bc she’s Candaien aye she is getting deported bc her visa expires and she tries to fake a wedding with Reynolds to stay in the country. So they go visit his family in US canada (Alaska) and thats when it starts.
Ok so the movie runs about two hours. Its a little less and I want to say it was funny but haha funny and not LOL funny. There is some cg that looks bad but in a good way. A comical bad way. It envolves a baby husky. I dont know what else to say. I mean it wasnt that funny and it wasnt romantic. It was a disney movie so I though that the nude scene with the two was a little inappropriate but whatever. You dont see anything its just super implied.
So Im going to say to wait on this for TV or DVD
Public Enemies
Ok so this one puts together two of the biggest movie stars of the moment. I say that bc they have been the leads in several of the last big movies. They are finally together and Bale FINALLY drops the stupid Batman accent he also had in Salvation.
Alright so the movie takes place in 1933 and John Dillinger played by Depp is a paroled thief who decides to go big time with his friends and start taking out banks. At the same time Hoover, before he was president, creates a task force to take out the crime bosses in Chicago and around the country by putting Bale on the hunt.
The entire movie is back and forth and cat and mouse. The fight scenes were pretty lame bc they were all done from a far distance and the bank robberies werent even cool. The shoot outs were basically lets show some shots of a guy with a tommy gun shooting it then lets show someone else and now lets go back to that first guy and now back to the second and then a third and back to the first.The sound for the dialogue and effects were bad and even worse was the camera movement. Think blair witch. Then bc most of the movie takes place at night its grainy as shit. There are some similiar events from the actual life of these guys but a lot is changed for the hollywoodness of it all. Michael Mann really dropped the ball on this one. I usually like his movies but man did this movie suck. I almost fell asleep at a 2pm show. It was just slow paced too and it was just bad. Ill say it was the worse movie ive seen in 2009. Oh and the love interest wasnt even good looking. Bc this movie sucked and its a historical event and we all know whats happens im going to kill the ending with this story.
So im leaving the theatre and i see an old old old man and im wondering if he was like, “I remember all this shit” so i leave and as im trying to validate my parking some old old woman says, “Through out the entire movie i was just waiting for him to go to the movie theatre…i remember him getting killed there.” mind you this was in 1935-36 so this woman must have been at least 80+ Oh and thats another thing i didnt like, there was no time line in the movie.
Ya stay away not today disco lady.
