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!

• The Young Victoria

And here are some that I want to see that didn't make the list...

• Precious (she has already seen it)
• Brothers (I love Natalie... and Jake)
• Fantastic Mr. Fox
• The Invention of Lying

Love, Keiko.

p.s. Christmas eve!!!!

what's in your backpack?

i saw up in the air last night!!!
here's a review.

up in the air: A
liked it a lot...not sure if i loved it. i'll try not to give anything away, but i felt as though things worked out a little too perfectly for my liking. i liked all the actors and actresses a lot, they all did a bang on job. seriously though...george clooney can do no wrong. the guy is swauve and smooth just like he is supposed to be. i almost felt though this character was written for him. actually...for some reason i feel as though the film's writer did in fact write the part for george. anyways, the music, cinematography, style everything was perfect. i walked away with lots to think about and okay...i change my mind i loved it. i don't know if its going to walk away with lots of awards this season simply because i don't know if the concept is strong enough for what awards are normally given for. its not about war or racism or a huge musical hit, its just a simple slick movie about relationships. hmm...i gotta run so i can't write more...i did like this movie and i'd recommend it.

fuck bitches.get money.

on the topic of rap music. i love it. even though it can be incredibly crass. whether its 'splash waterfalls' or 'milkshake'...there are seriously some terrible messages being sent across. what i reaaally wanted to talk about though was r.kelly. anyone here his song 'pregnant'? okay...here's the opening lines to the song:

girl you make me wanna get you pregnant,
girl you make me wanna get you pregnant,
lay your body down and get you pregnant,

knock you up, pregnant, knock you up, pregnant

rightttt....r kelly needs help. i realized this after watching far too many chapters of the 'trapped in the closet' series to admit.

anyways...here's take your shirt off by t.pain (love this song, but its sooo bad)

raise it up

After watching the video Kaur just posted, the Florence one, I miss long hair. I recently cut my hair off (to my shoulders), and I think Florence's hair is gorgeous... I wish it were mine. Anyway, here's a Florence song that I'm digging right now RAISE IT UP (SWITCH REMIX).

Love, Keiko.

glorious basterds.

inglourious basterds: A+

so i realized i never did a review for inglorious basterds even though i saw it right when it came out. i just watched it again this morning. i am a quentin tarantino fan through and through, so needless to say i loved it. it's totally entertaining, gruesome, indulgent, and ridiculous...but so much fun! christoph waltz was menacing and loveable somehow at the same time, and his performance is absolute perfection. the performances by brad and co. were also great and i have nothing really bad to say about this movie. love the style. love the story. love the movie.

kaur.

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.
