sherlock holmes: A

i went into this movie with low expectations, because i've read all the holmes stories and saw the trailer and felt that they glamourized it waaaaay too much. well regardless of making sherlock into a big budget movie...it was gooood. guy ritchie ain't that bad. robert downey jr. (i like em) did a good job playing holmes definitely playing up the crazy side...though i never thought of holmes as much of a fighter...hmm. oh, and jude law...gotta say he did a great job too. i figured that having such big names playing these characters would make the movie less believable and all i would see is downey jr. and law instead of holmes and watson, but nope i was wrong. i wasn't a huuuge fan of rachel mcadams. oh, and the story line i was skeptical about with all the black magic going on, but in the end i didn't mind. in itself i felt that small details in the movie really made it what it was - the way sherlock would explain his thought process in slow motion and then go through with it. oh! and the way that at the end of the movie he explains exactly how he figured everything out...just like the stories! i'm glad that professor moriarity played a role in it and i can't wait for the next one. apparently they want brad pit to play moriarity...i dunno how i feel about that. anyways, i liked this movie and would suggest seeing it. its definitely entertaining!

funny people not being so funny.

funny people: b-

adam sandler = abbrasive, i couldn't sympathise with him at all
seth rogen = saved this movie for me...funny and adorable
leslie mann = whateverrr
eric bana = so sick of his accent so quick
jason schwartzman = i lubadubdub him all the time
jonah hill = annoying as always
aubrey plaza = non-factor
aziz ansari = aighttt
eminem = surprise?

i gave it a b- 'cause i found it awkward and liked the music...otherwise it was too long and not that funny. it was an okay movie which really lacked cohesiveness and any real point (i thought). i still liked it though for some reason. i also liked stranger than fiction though...which most people didn't like, so remember my review is subjective. i still thought it was too long.

dance duckie dance.

jon cryer won me over years ago.
mostly because of this single scene.
i will always love him for this.
oh, and i like otis redding too.



kaur.

watching into the wild never fails to get my eyes watering.
i don't know what it is, but i find it incredibly sad...yet its one of my fave movies.

I am going to see Where The Wild Things Are tonight!!!!

Love, Keiko.

Let's go ape shit/A

I went to see the movie Whip It last night.  Over the past couple of weeks I was getting super stoked to see it - I mean... Ellen Page, Juliette Lewis, Kristen Wiig, Drew Barrymore, Alia Shawkat (yess Arrested Development!)... How could it not be amazing?

I loved it.

Go see it.

Love, Keiko.

what happens in vegas.

the hangover: C+/B- (i can't decide)

last night i wanted to see district 9 (my cousin, ethan odagaki, wants me to mention that i went with him)- we got there a bit late, got tickets, and then went into the theatre and there were NO seats.  it was disappointing!  the more i read about the movie, the more i want to see it (a few weeks ago i had no intention of seeing it).  anyway.  i ended up seeing the hangover.  completely ridiculous? yes!  hilarious? not so much, i didn't find it as funny as a lot of people made it out to be... still good though.  it definitely had its moments, but they weren't very memorable (the funny parts... the really ridiculous parts were totally memorable)- i can't even remember any of them right now, but i do remember laughing out loud at some points.  this was more of a watch online/rental movie i think (but so have most of the movies that i've seen in theatres in the past couple weeks).

love, keiko.

on the topic of slappin the bass.

on the topic of george michael.

i was stoked on the arrested development movie.
i now hear it is most likely not happening.

this is how i feel about it.


kaur.

it's you.

i am in love with rachel mcadams... so, obviously, i really want to see the time traveller's wife.  it comes out on friday.  i think i want to see the movie before i read the book, so that i am not disappointed in the movie (or in rachel).

love, keiko.
