What I do not give...

I watched Curse of the Golden Flower last night. It wasn't bad but you have to be interested in that type of movie for it to be really worth watching. I say that because I could see it getting boring fairly quickly for a person who weren't interested in a wire-fu type movie. Curse of the Golden Flower is a bit slow through most of the movie. However once the action really starts picking up towards the end of the movie, it is a bit more interesting. Don't take that as me saying that I thought that the movie was boring. I thought that it was an interesting movie through out. The cinimatography was pretty good in my opinion. There were several shots where I was downright amazed at how they chose to the certian camera angle that the had. The Battle scene at the end was quite interesting simply because of the sheer number of soldiers on screen. True, the vast majority were CG, you could tell, that won't really detract if you aren't too anal and as a result chose to be nit picky about movies being really true to life. Do I recommend Curse of a Golden Flower? Yes, but with the caveat that you be interested in wire-fu movies.

Blood and Dumb Title

I swear that Blood and Chocolate is the dumbest title that the makers of the movie could have come up with. It doesn't even sound like all that great of a movie either. So in a sense it's like the movie has a a double whammy against it already.

Melting Away

So unless something goes completly wrong in within the next day school will /finally/ resume again tomarrow. I to tell the truth am slightly ambivalent about that fact. I really want to be back in class after a week of being out. However, I don't want to go back after a week of relaxing. The first wins out, though by slim margin.

All Bruce Campbell fans will most likely find this interesting.

The Weekend That Wouldn't Die

Don't get me wrong I like snow days as much as the next person but to have an entire week canceled due to snow and ice is annoying. My classes are now a week behind. Up until yesterday I kept thinking that the next day classes would be held and all would be fine. However, that wasn't the case. We're having an all to long weekend.
