Red Riding Hood [Review]

Movie poster

Last Sunday I went to see Red Riding Hood at a 3-story theater in San Francisco. I went because not only did I want to see it, my mom wanted to see it as well. What a mistake that was.

More plot twists, near death experiences, and a dramatic ending makes this season finale episode one of the best.

The Adjustment Bureau [Review]

On Saturday, I went to see the Adjustment Bureau starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. What I got was what I expected: a cheesy and predictable love story.


The trailer said it all. A man who stumbles upon the "Adjustment Bureau", an organization that dedicates itself on keeping people's predeclared fate on track, is told not to chase after the girl of his dreams. 


The movie concept was very original, from what I know about movies. But it seemed like it was trying to ride on the hype of Inception, in the sense that both are mind boggling and challenge you to think. The actors were perfect though, very convincing.


The movie itself wasn't very good though, as I said, the whole plot was pretty predictable. Aside from that, it seemed a little short and the ending felt rushed. Their problems were concluded much too quickly and easily. The action scenes were cool to watch, but there weren't many of them. Besides, the only "action" is chasing and running through magic doors. 


Near the end of the movie, one of the characters says "Assume everyone with a hat is a threat." or something like that. I couldn't help but think that this movie is telling the audience that well, everyone with a hat is part of the Adjustment Bureau. I'm pretty positive that almost everyone walking out of the theater became paranoid of hat wearing people for at least the rest of the day.


Overall, it was okay, that's really all I can say about it. If you're not sure about watching it in theaters, I would say it's not worth it. I rate it a C+, or average. 


It's 6 hours 'till bedtime, I say watch, don't wait.

Glee: Comeback [Review]

As the thirteenth episode in the second season, I really enjoyed it. 
Warning: Spoilers below


Sure, the storyline flowed, the dialog was brilliant and Sue's usual antics and tantrums were hilarious to watch, but I want to focus on the music in this episode. 

I laughed when I saw the rendition of Justin Bieber's "Baby" and "Somebody to Love". The Glee boy's outfits were just funny, how they copied Bieber's hair and style. Although I'm not personally a fan of his music, I have to say that the performance was at least pleasant and funny. 


"I Know What Boys Like" by The Waitresses was covered by Lauren Zizes played by Ashley Fink. Honestly, I didn't like her singing. It reminded my of my sister's boring and horrible monotone voice. I noticed that they tried to cover it by using good sounding background singers. It didn't work. UPDATE: Now that I've heard the original version of this song, I can now officially say that Glee's version is WAY better. See for yourself.

Finally, "Sing" by My Chemical Romance was played and let me just say first, that I do not like that band. My sister is obsessed with it and plays their CD everyday. For me, that's really annoying and I just can't help but hate it. However, somehow listening to Glee's version made it sound more appealing (to me, anyway).It's just catchy when they sing it, I don't know. I was confused by their outfits though; "Why are they dressed like lumberjacks?" My sister even questioned it.


Anyway, it was a pretty good episode overall, I recommend that you watch it if you haven't already.


It's 7 minutes past bedtime, I say watch, don't wait.

Are there too many clichés?

Today, I was watching TV and I noticed that the family on the show I was watching was familiar. I have never seen the show before, but it was a concept that wasn't new; a wacky younger brother, a smart sarcastic middle sister, and a dim-witted older sister. Not all TV shows are exactly like this but most family television programs usually have at least one of these characters, if not all.
