MOVIE: The Curius Case Of Benjamin Button


I should start off by saying it was just amazing.
Easily one of the best movies I've seen in a while (Meaning the day before I saw a Futurama movie which was also the best in a while... About a month before that I saw The Butterfly Effect... Which was also one of the best I've seen in a while)

So, back on topic, I loved it a lot.
The movie is about a man who ages backwards, if you didn't know that you've been living under a rock.
I really just liked everything about this movie, the acting was amazing, the music was great, the makeup used on Brad Pitt was pretty good. (So good that it made me think a 17 year old Brad Pitt was sexy).


Really, words cannot describe it. It was just as it is. An amazing movie.
Overall, 9/10.

ALBUM: Strawberry Jam



Wow, I've been slacking!
I thought I would review EVERYTHING I see/play/listen.

Guess not.
I'll just go review an album now.


Strawberry Jam by Animal Collective!
Now, I'll go off saying this isn't the FIRST time I've listened to this album. This is actually my 4th time through.
Because it's THAT good.
I'll also go off saying it IS very good but the first time I heard it I actually hated it (With the exception of the song "Peacebone").
Second time, I thought it was actually really good. Third time, I loved it. This time, I thought it was amazing.
So bottom line: it's an album that every time I listen to it I enjoy it more and more.
Everything about it is amazing, all of the songs are great.
There's nothing really to say about it except: It's a little weird, but very good.


Best songs: Peacebone, Cuckoo Cuckoo, and For Reverend Green.

10 out of 10

ALBUM: Hot Fuss


By The Killers!

Okay, so this is the first album of theirs I've listened to, I've heard them on the radio and that but never fully listened to an album.
Brandon Flowers (The singer, keyboardist, lyricist) is great at singing and.. Keyboarding?
All the songs are great, they're all upbeat and catchy.

8/10
Best songs: Change Your Mind, Everything Will Be Alright, Mr. Brightside

MOVIE: Watchmen

I'm gonna start off saying I loved it, but I enjoyed the book more, ALTHOUGH the movie was still fantastic.

Alright, I'll start with the soundtrack. It was fantastic. All the songs were great for the movie and they were terrific, the only sound I disliked was "Desolation Row" by My Chemical Romance.

Next, the action scenes were awesome. They were just awesome. There's nothing to say about this one. It was just great. Everything was made really cool, and the slow-mo parts were bad ass.

Third, the characters were amazing. I loved every single character in the movie. My favorite would be Dr. Manhattan. I didn't picture his voice being that calm in the book, but as I think about it, it really works. I don't think anyone could do it as Billy Crudup did. That said, I don't think ANYONE could do as good as the actors in the movie. They all fit the characters.

Lastly, the adaption was incredible. Some scenes were changed. Some weren't as good as the book, some surpassed it. Some scenes were taken out, but to be honest, you wouldn't really notice it. I only noticed one scene taken out (Which was in my opinion, one of the best) and that was the scene were Rorschach goes back to the apartment. My favorite scene would have to be Dan's dream. It was captured perfectly and I LOVED it.

Everything was great. 9/10 for the movie. I suggest to read the book first, because at the theater I heard a bunch of people saying "That sucked. The blue guy was confusing. Blahblahblah."
