Movies Part 3

If it seems like all I've been doing is watching movies lately you'd be right. It is mostly all I've been doing. I was actually going to post more this month but family drama happened and then I just didn't. I'm a chronic procrastinator. Anyways here's a list of my most recent movies that I've watched for the first time.  Although there's always some I forget.

The Decoy Bride 

Skye told me about this Rom-Com and I just couldn't help but watch it. It sounded amazing which is exactly what it ended up being. 

David Tennant plays a terrible author who's getting married to this famous actress and they're trying to have a private wedding but the paparazzi keep finding them. So Lora, his fiancee, wants to go to a remote location for their wedding called the Island of Hegg.

This location being the place that James, David Tennat's character wrote a book about, and had googled the whole thing and was terribly wrong about all of it. Except Lora thinks this is going to be this beautiful wedding themed after her favourite book.

The paparazzi find her and she runs off to hide, and so the agent she hired to plan the wedding is forced to find a decoy to play Lora so they can do a fake wedding for the press while they go find Lora. 

Katie, the 'decoy', is hilarious and relatable and she has blue painted nails and a yellow rain coat at one point which feels like a Coraline reference.

 It's hilarious and gorgeously Scottish. 

John Wick 1&2&3

Keanu Reeves is amazing. I loved the humour and the cinematography and John Wick's process of killing people is almost beautiful to watch. It's like a dance. 

Also the dog and the puppy were absolutely adorable 

Alien

I couldn't tell which GIFs were from the first movie so here's a GIF of the cat they have on the space ship.

Aside from the fact Ripley was fantastic and this all wouldn't have happened if the crew had just listened to her to begin with (probably), the alien is SUPER hard to kill and that's what drew me into this movie the most I think. It's also a very tactile looking movie which has a lot to do with the it coming out it 1979 and I loved that.

Benny&Joon

This was a cute movie. I loved seeing young Johnny Depp going a little nuts, it was hilarious and were my favourite bits of the movie.

Hamilton

What can I say except that I adored it? It was even better than I expected.

Watched this with Skye and it was entertaining when we get to the scene where Eliza is burning the letters between her and Alexander and is singing about burning the memories. Skye said "I'd burn him and his house down but that's just because I'm irrational."

Over the Garden Wall

Watched this with Skye after Hamilton which oddly enough was a great combo.

It's delightfully cute and funny and creepy and bizarre and will definitively be on my list of fall/Halloween themed things

 Also it's just absolutely chock-full of stunning artwork.

Sonic the Hedgehog

My favourite line

My sister wanted to see it for her birthday so I rented it. I thought it was terrible. I was kind of sad about it, I love the trope of dad/kid/slightly roadtrip thing character dynamic but I was very confused what they were going for exactly. It was the one thing I was hoping would save it for me. Although I think Jim Carey had fun so that's always nice when the actors have a good time regardless what I think about a movie itself. 

500 days of Summer

I've meant to watch this for awhile. I've heard it mentioned a lot and I thought it was an interesting concept with the unreliable perspective/reality. I just don't have a lot of thoughts on the movie.

Devil is a Part-Timer

I haven't actually finished this but I'm getting there. It's ridiculous and I love it. Essentially the plot is the Devil is being attacked by humanity? (I don't remember specifically) and he's losing so he goes to an alternate dimension to await his return to beat them. Which he ends up in Japan on the planet Earth. He realizes in order to make it he needs to get a job and so the Devil takes a part-time job at McRonald's and lives essentially like a broke college student.

American Assassin

Another one Skye told me about. Are we seeing a pattern? XD She has great choices

Dylan O'Brien is always a win. I'm not sure what more I can say except that. Like Skye described him, he's like a young John Wick

I watched it on Youtube in 3 parts and I thought it was the whole movie until I realized it was missing about 20 minutes of the ending. So I pieced the end together watching the full movie that was available but was in Hindi to use that as the basis to piece together the ending clips but in English. I managed somehow it was kind of entertaining and annoying doing that
