Chapter 27

If you liked John Lennon or the Beatles, are interested in his life (or more accurately, his death) you're gonna like this movie. It's a story about Mark David Chapman, the man who killed John Lennon.

Jared Leto played Mark David Chapman and did a good job in my opinion. Movie shows Chapmans plans, thoughts and feeling while waiting for John.

Before his trial began, Chapman was allowed to plead guilty to second degree murder and was sentenced to a prison term of 20 years to life despite being diagnosed as delusional and possibly psychotic. He remains incarcerated at Attica Correctional Facility in New York, having been denied parole four times.

Rest in peace John, we share a birthday and I Remember as well as Imagine!

I want someone to eat cheese with..

What do we really want in life? Money? Power? Material goods? Or really just someone to eat cheese with?
This is a nice one. Easy flow, quite funny, real-life type filming,.. you have to watch it "as is", not comparing it with similar movies or you might be disappointed. There's no "story" really, we follow a guy who has problems with women, work, always says the wrong thing at the wrong time, and substitutes it all with food.
The good thing with movies like this is, you can watch it again and again in the future. I have good memory when it comes to movies, so I usually remember "plots", "stories" and "bad guys" within a few minutes of a movie, if I watched it before, so it's no fun to watch anymore.
Jeff Garlin did ok and I always liked Sarah Silverman anyhow, so there's a plus for me as well.
I want someone to eat cheese with... yeah, who doesn't..
Anyhow, 7/10 for me.

Boarding gate movie

There's another 106 minutes lost that I'll never get back.. Another proof how a trailer can make a totally wrong impression.
Anyhow.. boooooooring, sloooow, used story, virtually no action and even those minutes sucked, really bad performance by both Madsen (kinda surprised he took a project like this) and Argento. Honestly, there isn't a minute that I enjoyed in this movie.
2/10 for me.

Upcoming movie trailers..

Starting out in the evening


My list is actually a lot longer, but this should be enough for today..

Juno soundtrack

Ok, this CD has been playing in my player practically non-stop for the past 2 weeks or something, I'm not sure it I should be getting worried, but I know I have to post this to remember it. It's a great compilation! Kinda reminds me of Garden State compilation which is still my nr.1 movie soundtrack.. ever!
Go.. buy, rent, borrow this thing and have a listen!

Lars and the real girl

Now this is an interesting one.. It's one of those movies you're either going to like or totally dislike.
Ryan Gosling plays a young man, who finds a strange way of dealing will his lonely less after his father died. He orders a real-size, anatomically correct sex doll, which he treats as a real life girl. Now all you pervs out there, don't get any ideas, this is a PG-13 movie! With support by his brother and his wife, the whole community, he gets over his problems and starts a normal life.
It's interesting to watch and imagine, what would happen if this was real? How would people really react? It's nice to imagine everyone would be supportive, but it's really unlikely. Would he be committed in a day or two?
Interesting movie, but it is pushing the boundaries of credibility a bit. Still, good performance by Ryan Gosling and worth the look in my opinion.



I'd say 8/10 for this one.
Remember.. Bianca's in town for a reason.

Juno

It started with a chair...
I actually got the soundtrack to this flick first and after deciding I like the sound, I watched the movie as well. And I liked it. It's not your regular teen comedy, but then again it is. What saves/helps this movie to raise it above the rest (beside the comedy and easy flow of the movie), is the lead actress Ellen Page, a 19 years old which has a great future ahead of her imho. I first saw her in Hard Candy, where she did an amazing job at only 16 and later discovered, she did 24 movie appearances already.
Well worth to watch.



Dad: Did you see that coming?
Mom: Yeah... but I was hoping she was expelled, or into hard drugs.
Dad: That was my first instict too. Or a DUI... anything but this!

Has to be 9/10 for this one.
