TSK I'm watching animu. Some of this animu is some really old animu.

Peach Girl ep 01-02;
OMG, when was the last time I watched something as shoujo as this one?! This is so cool! I give you three seconds to name my favourite character. Time's up, it's Kairi. WHO DA MAN?! OH HO HO HO.

Anyway, colourful, cheerful, at times cheesy (d'oh), and all around very enjoyable. :P

Men in Black II;
I was in a foul mood not so long ago. I wanted to watch some comedy that I watched before, but not too many times. Neither of the DVDs my roomies acquired over the past half a year suited the purpose. So thank god for 'On Demand'.

I remember watching Russian dub version of this, and you know what, MIB dub is one of the many dubs that I've enjoyed as much, as the original. They did a great job on it.


For Your Eyes Only;
After my roommates and I watched Casino Royale, we had a heated discussion about Bond and his ... well, nearly everything. In the end it was decided that we're going to watch all Bonds. The original plan was to go in a descending order (newest to oldest), but since people are mostly inconsistent the next evening my roommates returned with this DVD.

They didn't like the movie, so it took us two nights to finish it. I knew what I was going for (my father is a die-hard JB fan), so I could easily watch and appreciate the movie. I don't know, I think it's fascinating to follow the evolution of one special agent through the ages. There are so many things in older movies that they seem to have removed in the more recent ones.

But then of course there are a lot of things that I'm sure were really serious like a decade or two ago; now though these moments only make me giggle.

I love James Bond.


Open Season;
Oh man. I don't know. I laughed like an idiot. And (possible spoiler coming up!) I loved the scene where Boog escapes Shaw's house. I didn't realize it at first, but man, that was some true thriller action! I was so amused afterwards, I was like 'whoa, whoa' for about a minute.

OK, I'm crazy, don't mind me. It's just that I truly love animation. So I get very animated when I watch them cartoons. (Bad pun unintended.)

Unleashed;
You know, I was expecting 'oh yes, another fighting movie'. I've got what I expected; but I've also got a bit more. In that sense, I wasn't disappointed. At all.

City Slickers;
I love this movie, if only because you can see a young Jake Gyllenhaal there. So cute. Otherwise, it's a rather enjoyable comedy. One of the scenes closer to the ending was a killer for me. Nothing too dramatic, I guess. To put it simply, it was perfect timing, and right on the spot. Tsk.

Life, or Something Like It;
To hell with it all, why do I always disagree with critics? I mean, yes, it's not the best; but I did find this highly enjoyable, and I'd watch it again. A couple of times. In a row. I mean, sheesh, you want deep soulful meaning, then go and read Lermontov. Asses.

Casino Royale;
I have a feeling I've written about this one before, no? Well anyway, the beginning had me. I only realized it when it all came to a sudden halt in that embassy. But I'm with the crowd -- for a while there, I was like 'but this can't be Bond', since I'm too used to the over-glamour-ized image of JB.

Tell you what: In the end, Daniel Craig is probably the best image of Bond to ever grace these movies, if only because his image is more logical for a super duper secret agent. I ended up liking Casino Royale. One of the not so many times that major critics and I come to a sort of consensus. Not that it matters for critics. Or me.

Anger Management;
Sandler and Nicholson in one movie. I adore this. I can watch it over and over and over again.


Sin City;
It's another rewatch, and is another movie I'd watch again, but not too often. Has nothing to do with its quality or my level of likeness of it. It's just far from being a romantic comedy, I'd say.


What Women Want;
And another rewatch, and another movie I really liked. I always wonder why Helen Hunt doesn't get the recognition she really should. I love this lady.


as Good as It Gets;
I remember this movie getting rather bad feedback and accusations in bland-ness back when it had only come out. Apparently, yet another reason for me not to trust those critics, ever. I liked it.


Pay It Forward;
I've never even heard about this movie before. Which is weird, since I may end up not watching them or completely missing the release dates, but at least I know about movies. Like, yes, there's a movie like that. This one has completely missed me, it seems.

Anyway, I liked it as a whole, but I didn't like the message it seemed to have given me in the end. I'm not going to go in details, since it will completely spoil it, but seriously!
