I go to the movies a lot. So much that it becomes a jumble in my head and I forget the movies that I see, sometimes. That's pretty sad. So since my goal in blogging is to document my everyday and this year I'm attempting to blog more, I've decided to make every Monday a recap of movies I've seen in the preceding week.
And oh what a week to start this! I saw A LOT!
As you know (or not know) 80% of the moveis I see at theaters are via movie screenings AKA FREE MOVIES! Not only am I able to save a butt-load of money, but I get to see them before any of my friends. Something about that exclusivity makes it so special...
Anyways, this past week, I saw Southpaw at a screening and IT WAS INTENSE! I don't know what got over me, but this movie made me an emotional wreck. I wish I had brought a whole box of kleenex with me that day. Jake Gyllenhaul was amazing in it and Rachel McAdams was beautiful as always. By far, my favorite movie this week. Plus the Eminem soundtrack is kickass. Go see it!
Next is Ant-Man with Paul Rudd. Paul Rudd is so adorable and his goofiness made him a perfect pawn for unintentional comedy in an otherwise serious action movie. And thank god for that comedy because how can you take a ant-size hero seriously?
Trainwreck was...literally a trainwreck. The movie was funny for the first hour and a half. I loved Amy Schumer and Bill Hader, and of course Lebron James, but the last half hour really annoyed me. Did it have to be that long? Did it have to end that way? I find it so unrealistic. It's like she kinda gave up on the writing at the end.
Also, on Netflix, I caught Serena. Why does Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper keep acting together? I love the character Jen portrayed - so strong and confident. But then, why did she have to go crazy at the end? Can't some women succeed and own their happiness with what they already have? Definitely not my favorite J. Law/BradCoop Combo.
