A Raisin In The Sun

This gives me chills. I love this so much. I can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caption That

I was checking out some movies online the other day and I came across a lot of Spanish movies that I want to see. Sometimes I hate that I’m not great at speaking and understanding other languages. A lot of the movies that I want to see have subtitles, but there are many that don’t. I wish there was a way that I can have subtitling added to every foreign film that I want to see. You know how when you’re watching a movie or television show you can just turn on closed captions? I wish you could do the same for subtitling. Some movies offer that option but many don’t. I’m telling you, if they did that for all foreign films, a lot more people would watch.

Johnny Depp Is Back!!

My mother loves Johnny Depp. He’s one of her favorite actors. She says she loves him because he’s so unique. I completely agree. Johnny Depp gives life to characters that nobody else can. The roles that he pick are so quirky and unexpected. Sometimes I think they’re written with him in mind, because I can’t imagine anyone else playing these parts. He’s been in so many amazing movies that it’s hard to pick my favorite, but I definitely have two that stand out the most. Those two movies would have to be Edward Scissorhands and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.

Edward Scissorhands is definitely a fantasy movie that has an exaggerated story line and lots of cliches, but that’s OK because it makes you feel things. Who hasn’t felt ostracized like Edward before? Even though it’s a fantasy film, there are emotionally charged performances that touch you. That’s the same reason that I love What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. You fall in love with the characters. You admire how much they love each other. Like when the children burn down their house to cover up their mom’s death so that she wont be ridiculed by the neighbors for being morbidly obese.

If I’m forced to choose, I’ll pick Edward Scissorhands as my favorite Johnny Depp movie. I think. LOL. He’s so amazing! How can you choose just one. And now that he has a new movie coming out on December 21st called Sweeney Todd, I’m sure I’m going to love that too. You can visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site for more about the movie. By the way, just like Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Todd is also directed by Tim Burton!!! How cool. Oh, don’t forget to visit Sweeney Todd on MySpace. Be friends!

Somebody Likes Beowulf

I blogged the other day about Angie’s new movie Beowulf, and guess what? It’s number one! Ha. I love her. I seriously don’t get that movie though. I did a little investigating and apparently it’s 3D. Ahhhh. I was wondering why she kinda looked real, but not. I’ve been trying to catch all of her movies now that I have Netflix, but I seriously doubt that I’ll ever be adding Beowulf to my queue. It’s still too weird for words. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, Google it! It’s really crazy. There were some other movies that did pretty good this week too, but I honestly stopped reading after I got past Angie. You’ll have to Google that as well.
