VASSSSUP?!

NEVER in my life have i laughed so hard at the movie theaters till i saw Bruno. rarely, does anything at the theaters make me laugh but i assume it was the combination of sacha baron cohen's ruthless acts to acheive famedome by any means--even if he has to bring peace to the palestinian and israeli fued-- and with the hint of realism that really made me have a laughing seizure in my red velvet seat. with all his satirical acts and trickery, it all came together beautifully as he further explores how gays are perceived in the u.s.

of course, this film is not for everyone. it was almost rated as NC-17. and amazingly, i wasnt really shocked with any of his ridiculous acts and more amused at the way he went about his tactics. and when i really think about it, i can almost call it a love story. yes that's right, a love story. And if you thought Borat was outrageous, DO NOT expect anything less than that from Bruno, because he will take you to the most uncomfortable places on earth that will surely make you feel like theres something up your back door.

Burton in Wonderland? oooooh yeeesss...

Tim Burton is making his own remake of Alice in Wonderland and of course he is having his two beloved actors, Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter respectively, to play the mad hatter and the red queen. to my surprise, anne hathaway is chosen to play the white witch. and newcomer mia wasikowska is set to play alice.

firstshowing.net said that "Interestingly, this is somewhat of a sequel to Disney's animated movie from 1951. "Alice, 17, attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty society types. Off she runs, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she visited 10 years before yet doesn't remember."

im extremely excited how this film is going to turn out. ill keep you posted until tim burton's alice in wonderland comes out on march 5, 2010 on both 3-d and 2-d. yayyyy!

Live Long, and Prosper

Star Trek (2009). i give it an A. 

enough said. go watch it. 

Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life-forms and new civilizations; to boldly go where no one has gone before.

yes indeed, i HAD to use my imagination.

i honestly wonder what goes through jim jarmusch's head when he starts a new project. like i understand what he was going for when he wrote and directed the limits of control; he wanted to talk about the subjective aspects of life. and so, with those ideas he concocted a film that is just that: a subjective film. and now in many ways, i related to the characther when he said " i used my imagination " because the movie in its entirety, was a bore. but each frame was shot so beautifully that it would be more appropriately be studied at a film school. i must admit, i almost fell asleep watching him walk around and sip his two cups of expresso in silence for 90% of the film. but dont get me wrong, thats not all that happens, when the characters do speak, it is worth listening to. and i hung onto every word while they stated their own subjective views of art, film, and life in general. and now that i think back, im beginning to understand what kind of message jarmusch wanted to get across but i dont think i can state it sufficiently here... i would just recommend people to watch it with caution. but understand that everything in life from the little bugs crawling on the floor to the outerspace satellites that circle the earth can be and is subjective. GRADE: ___

i used my imagination.

its very odd and enigmatic but thats whats so appealing about it.

or go here...

and theres a few things you guys should watch out for:

1) a film short shot in my film production class.
2) a possible macdonalds vandalizing project (its for a good cause, i swear)
3) a possible music video in pre-production.
4) new photos.
5) i want to make a little film book but im not sure what to exactly focus on... any suggestions?
