#41--Clash of the Titans--Day 82

Holy freaking Craken! I had to think about this movie for a little bit before I decided to actually do my review. Overall, it was a fairly decent movie and definitely worth seeing. I was planning on seeing it in 3D; however, 1.) our theatre still has "How to Train Your Dragon" in 3D in that theatre and 2.) this movie was not originally shot in 3D. They pushed the release date and made it 3D in the hopes of making more money off of it. Thus, I decided it probably would not have been that amazing in 3D anyway.

A group of men from Argos begin a journey with a demi-God, Sam Worthington to cut off the head of Medusa to kill the Craken. Of course huge challenges arise along the way. Thus, my biggest problem with this movie was that it would take a half an hour to get anywhere and then when they did get to where they needed to the battles would be like 5 mins. For instance, probably the entire first hour the goal is to reach Medusa, when they get there a lot of people die and Sam Worthington kicks ass (hopefully this isn't a spoiler, much more happens, I promise). Overall, the special effects are pretty ridiculous...the creatures in this movie are UNBELIEVABLE. I can also say that Sam Worthington has somewhat stepped up his acting abilities in the movie. I mean, he barely spoke in Terminator, he spoke in Avatar, but he was an Avatar the whole time so it wasn't really him. This movie it's him the whole time and he's speaking! Though I couldn't say he's phenomenal he's definitely a crazy awesome new action star, which I may or may not be in love with. The verdict is still out on that one.

I think that what this movie needed a little bit more of was some humor. It's a great guy flick, but if you wanna rope the girls in with something more than Sam Worthington you need some humor. Think Pirates, if it had a little bit of the humor Johnny Depp provides this movie would be insane! Nonetheless, this movie was pretty good. I recommend you see it, maybe not more than once, but see it.

#40--Spread--Day 80

I would not recommend the first hour of this film. It's basically Ashton Kutcher screwing many many women. However, the last half hour makes the entire movie worthwhile when he finally finds the female version of himself (Margarita Levieva). I debated whether or not to even finish this movie, but I'm very glad I did, because the very boring semi-porno turns into a movie about real shit. Furthermore, it has a "real shit" ending, which is invigorating because who doesn't get sick of unrealistic endings?

So, the best part of this movie hands down is Margarita Levieva, gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!! I knew she looked familiar and I just could not figure it out, so of course I went to the source of all knowledge imdb.com, which informed me she also appeared in "The Invisible." BINGO! I knew I had been madly in love with her at some other point of my life. Probably one of the most gorgeous people I've ever seen and makes the movie that much more enjoyable.

#39--The Box--Day 80

I would just like to point out that despite being 41 movies/days behind I am determined to be completely caught up by the end of summer. I will accomplish this goal!

The Box...hmmm. Cameron Diaz and James Marsden are really, terribly, obnoxiously, cheesy in this film. I still do not know how I feel about this film. First of all, it was WAY TOO LONG! There were so many unnecessary parts that it felt like I was watching this movie for an eternity. It also really bothered me that in the beginning the movie was realistic, but as the movie continued it got waaay too science fiction-y. Furthermore, without spoiling the ending, don't expect to be happy. I feel that the movie ends and everyone's lives are shittier, yes there was a lesson to be learned, but it wasn't really learned. One thing I can is that Richard Matheson writes some craazzy stories. After seeing this movie I looked the short story up online which the movie is based off of, and he is also the author of "I Am Legend" and "What Dreams May Come." (Which I would also like to read.) I really like to read this short story because I feel that the film did not do the story justice by any means. One amazingly positive aspect of this book? Not one smoking scene in the entire movie. Not one!! After the credits there was even a disclaimer acknowledging this! I was so impressed that the movie earned some brownie points.
