YPF

I just finished watching the movie, 'YPF' which I rented from netflix.com.
The title is short for young people fucking and the movie is about what you would think it is.
Its the story of four different couples having sex over one night, but its a comedy, not a porn movie.
I really liked the movie, I was entertained by it and I thought it was funny.
The acting was good and believable and the plot was believable.
But I'm a little disappointed with the dvd as whole, there was only one extra which was the trailer for the movie.
If there was more to the dvd then i would of rated it higher.
I give the dvd YPF four out of five stars.

Love in the time of Cholera.

This movie was based on the novel by the same name by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
I think the book won a nobel prize for best novel or something when it was first published.
I believe the book was published in 1985 but I'm not exactly sure about that.
But the movie is only about a year or two old.
The story of the movie is set in Columbia but its an english speaking film.
The story is about a young man who falls in love in with a young women.
When the father of the young women finds out he separates the two by moving her two small village deep in the forest.
The father eventually moves them back into the city and the daughter falls in love and marries a rich doctor.
The young man, Florentino, pleads his ever lasting love for her, Fermina, and eventually they age and then they become lovers.
In the mean time Florentino seduces a whole bunch of women and keeps a diary of all of his sexual encounters.
The sex its self is most certainly not what makes this movie great, its everything else.
Don't get me wrong, there were some moments where I did get a chubby but that isn't why I liked the movie.
The movie as a whole was really good so I give the dvd of 'Love in the time of cholera' four out of five stars.
I really liked the movie, but I guess I could be wrong because the movie didn't do so well at the box office and it didn't receive great reviews either.
Maybe I should look into reading the book.

Mi-5

On Thursday I finished watching the first four or five seasons of the British tv show called Spooks.
The tv show is also called Mi-5.
Mi-5 is a top secret British agency of spies.
The Mi-5 are based in London with the characters occasionally going outside of London to fight terrorism.
The show is really well done and its very interesting to watch.
I give the show six out of five stars, yeah its that good.
Unfortunately they only have the first four or five seasons of the show available to watch on the netflix website but they have the two or three other seasons available to rent from them.

Beowulf

Over the weekend I watched the movie 'Beowulf: Director's Cut', and I didn't really like it.
I give the dvd three stars out of five stars.
The movie and the extras were entertaining enough for me to actually sit there and watch all the way through but afterwards I didn't feel inspired by it.
I don't know for sure but I think there have been plays and other movies about the poem Beowulf but I hope they were better than this one.
If your not sure what the movie is about then you would be better off reading a translation of the poem.
I would imagine that you could find a free copy of it somewhere online since you can find almost anything else online.
The movie is all animated!
Why did they do that it all in animation?
Granted, its all animated to look very real but you can stil tell its animated.
Its animated but its not a children's movie for sure.
Also, the extras weren't that bad but Angelina Jolie does not appear in any of the extras of the film.
Why is that?
Anthony Hopkins and Forrest Gump appear in the extras but Angelina Jolie is too famous apparently.

Serenity

I just finished watching the movie Serenity on the netflix website.
I really liked it.
I give Serenity, the version that I watched on the netflix website, four stars out of five stars.
I wish I could watch on the netflix website the extras that I am assuming that are included with the dvd of this movie.
If the dvd as a whole are good like the movie is then I would probably rate the dvd a little higher.
This movie takes place in the future, like way, way in the future.
At the beginning of the movie planet earth becomes over populated so the humans find another galaxy with good planets and they colonize them.
Serenity is the name of the space ship that the main characters ride around in and basically their pirates, but without the wooden legs and sails on the ship.
The doctor of the ship has a sister that has psychic abilities and she is being held by the government.
Her name is River and the government is training her to become some sort of psychic weapon.
Her brother takes her back from the government and the people on Serenity take them in and most of the movie is spent both avoiding the government and discovering River's secret that she took from one of the government officers.
I know its a poor summary of the movie but I really liked the movie and I think it would be worth your time watching it.

Eastern Promises

I just finished watching the movie 'Eastern Promises'.
I really liked the movie and the bonus features weren't that bad either.
There were only two short "movies" in the bonus feature part that gave a little background on the movie and some background on the Russian mob as well.
They were both interesting and they weren't overbearing with amount of information they provided, but at the same time I wished there was more to the bonus feature part of this movie.
I give 'Eastern Promises' four and a half stars out of five stars.

I am legend bonus dvd.

Last night I watched the bonus dvd to the movie, 'I am Legend'.
On the bonus dvd there was an alternate version of the movie that appeared in the theaters and there was an option for extras that you had to access via the internet.
When I clicked my mouse on the extras the screen told me to punch in some sort of code in order to download a digital copy of the dvd.
I wasn't able to get the digital copy because I rented the movie from netflix so I don't know if the digital copy was just simply a copy of the alternate version of 'I am Legend' or if it also included the typical sort of extras (interviews with the actors, out takes, making of video...) that I have come to expect from bonus dvds.
I didn't actually watch the entire alternate version of the movie though.
The first thing I did was select the scene selections to see if it showed any different scenes from the movie and the only part that appeared to be different was the very last part.
So then I started the movie and I watched the first couple of minutes of the movie and then I decided that I was just going to skip to the part where Will Smith's character traps the animal/human and takes it to his lab so he can start the human trials and examine the animal/human and then I skipped right to the end so that I could watched the part that I thought was different.
I don't want to give it all away so I won't actually tell you what happened in the alternate version of the movie.
After I sent the movie back I am begining to think that I probably should of watched the entire alternate version.
From what I watched of the movie, I give the alternate version of the 'I am Legend' movie five out of five stars.
I strongly recommend you watch both versions of the movie.
The dvd set of 'I am Legend' though doesn't rate as high because the bonuse features that I was able to access on the first dvd weren't really all that great, but the alternate version of the movie would be considered a bonus feature and I really liked the alternate version so I give the dvd set as a whole four stars out of five stars.
But I feel they could of done better with the other bonus features.
Will Smith has come a long way since the fresh prince of belaire.
