Know your movies

Hello all you screen savers

Wendy and I tried to watch the movie Knowing, but the DVD did not cooperate. It got to a certain point and would not play any more. Why is it that movies that you don't care about always malfunction so you feel like you have to watch it again? The movie seemed interesting, well for not making halfway through. Never fear though, Netflix is sending a replacement.

Fortunately, well maybe, we had another movie to watch. It was Twilight. That teen vampire movie/series. In my opinion that movie sucked. Maybe I don't like teen drama. It seemed the acting was off. There...were...so...many...pauses in the movie. I could fall asleep and wake up in the same scene. I think that movie made a lot of money because they saved so much in writing the script. It was not the vampire part that bothered me it was same story of the misfit teen girl and the bizarre town. The town they lived in seemed crazy, but I guess if you had vampires and hinted a wolves your town would be odd too.

Some things that bothered me about the movie. Okay first of all all the guys hair. I don't know why but the hairdo of some guys where it wraps around their face like a masculine beehive. I don't get it. Guys in general seem more feminine than the girls in movies today. A second thing was about the vampires. Granted I don't know much, but there were things I had not heard. A vampire does need any sleep. Come on, what is the point in living that long? Or maybe it just feels that long. Then the glitter in the sunlight. What is that about? So sun does not kill them, it makes them beautiful? It seems like recent vampire movies have been going out of there way to debunk old school vampire habits.

So in review...Knowing left me still not knowing because I didn't get to watch it all. Twilight. All that glitters is not gold.
