Brothers Bloom

First impressions:

-Cute
-Brick cameos!
-Cool shots! and locations!
-A little slow
-Rachel Weisz!
-Reminded me a little bit of Wes Anderson
-Beginning to get a little boring
-Don't care much for the characters
-Robbie Coltrane will always be Hagrid

I didn't really pay attention to the movie, because it was confusing me and I think it confused itself sometimes. Brick confused me a little, but in the end it made sense. And this one wasn't that way. But honestly, I had to read the plot summary to understand it better, and I could see where it was trying to get to, and it almost did it right, but not quite. The sadness was lost. I might watch it again, but otherwise I can't say anything more. Except I still like Rian Johnson's style and his music!

Zombieland.

Another Zombie movie... some more funny Woody Harrelson... some more violence and blood. As much as I didn't want to watch this movie because it looked like a zombie version of freaking Inglourious Basterds, I watched it because it was free and because I grew a liking to Jesse Eisenberg.

The movie knows its approaching known territory, but whatever it chose to do, it stuck to it and that worked effectively. From the beginning you knew it what you were in for, and as the movie progressed it didn't get boring because refreshing new ideas came in with a nice flow to it. I could see this being a book before it was made into a movie, because of the rules the Jesse Eisenberg character has. The little subtleties made comedic moments more comedic, or violence moments more comedic, or anything to that nature. It was a little corny in the dramatic scenes and there are some plot holes and predictability. I could look over those for the main surprise, the best surprise that all should see.

I think some of it is kind of self-aware and a product of our times (Hannah Montana, what?), but I think it could translate to a kind of zombie classic to some bros.

Blah blah blah. IM BORING

I give it a 3(.25) out of 4.
