I Am Here For You She Said

Why not? I forgot about this thing and wow, it's been a while.

Knowing that Alma has already packed and moved to San Diego is still beyond me. I guess it didn't really hit me that she was moving on with her life and I feel awful for not seeing her again.

I wish I would stop being upset with Alex but some of the things he does and says just make me perturbed.

I really dislike the newest manager we hired but then again, who doesn't? I wish there was a way where all the managers were on the same page and the same level. I dread the times I work with certain people. When I see that schedule every Thursday I just get upset. I wish everyday were like Monday. Work would be so damn peachy with the great managers I work with.

It wasn't until yesterday where I actually felt young. All the managers were discussing if they were going to attend Stoney's that night for a manager's 21st birthday bash. It really hit me that they were all much older than me and I was kind of missing out. I guess I only feel that way since I don't really have any friends at UNLV. Then I started thinking about why I don't hang out with anyone or why I don't have new friends. I literallly go to work, school and spend my time with Alex or Jessica. I guess the reason why I don't push for friendships is because I know I will get upset with them at one point. I don't like putting in the effort if they aren't either.

I pretty much suck as a person and really don't care to hang with anyone. Everything is such a routine with me and when I finally do decide to venture into a plan with someone, it ends up with "What should we do? Oh let's watch a movie!" And there we go, back to my work because I refuse to pay for movies anymore.

Don't get my wrong, I love my job. But I wish there was more to do.

And I guess at this point I should list some movies I did watch cause there is nothing else to blog about.

Revolutionary Road not only made me feel so damn depressed, but it made me think so much about my life. I can't stop thinking how everything is such a damn routine and how I loathe the thought about school and homework. Which by the way I am not doing too well in school. Then it made me think about what am I buying my life into? I am still pondering in what to do for a major. How long am I going to be staying at Rave? Will I ever have a voice and speak up when need be? WELL - Overall, the acting was just amazing in the movie. Michael Shannon will be your favorite character in the movie. He really sets the movie into motion and stirs up a lot of emotions.

The Unborn. It is unfortunate because I was seriously thinking this was going to be a scary movie. When I first viewed the trailer I was more than disturbed by the old man crab walking around. Maybe the volume for the movie was not loud enough because the jump scenes should have been a lot louder in my opinion. Maybe my theatre sucked at that. Or maybe my hearing is seriously depleting because of all the shows and loud music I listen to. Who knows. But I do know that this movie was nowhere near my expectations and it upset me.

Slumdog Millionaire is probably the most basic and typical story you'll see. Though, the movie was just so great in so many ways. It digs deep where you really feel for the main character. The movie is so easily likeable and will continue to be. I didn't know what I was getting into but that was a gosh darn great movie.

Bridewars was pretty predictable and such a chick flick. Problem is, I like chick flicks and this one was not one I was into at all.

Doubt kept me wondering who was in the wrong throughout the film. They finally took the whole problem of priests touching little boys and put it on the big screen with big time actors like Philip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Streep. Though it was more to it. What if the priest really didn't do anything to the kid? Or what if he did?

Twilight had me going with the improbable love story, but I dug it. Not so much the stalking and Edwards acting, but I dug it.

Hot Rod was probably the most ridiculous and dumbest movie I have ever seen. Although, Andy Samberg's SNL skit of "I Jizzed In My Pants" is a lot better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I5XXFqOUyA

War Of The Worlds. I know, I finally watched it. And you know what? That shit happens. Yeah obviously not with aliens, but when Katrina happened, that's what everyone did. They freaked the fuck out and rioted everywhere. They were only out for their own lives disregarding everyone else even though they were going through the same thing as they were. The reason why I didn't watch the movie before was that it didn't interest me and everyone told me what was out to get them. I'm glad Alex forced me to watch it. The ending was a bit too sudden but the movie portrayed exactly what people would do in a crazed situation. (This is why I liked Cloverfield) People are always looking for the oh my god sequences, I never would have thought that and crazy endings. But if you really look at why or how they made the movie and how it is portrayed, then you would understand and thoroughly enjoy it.

My Bloody Valentine 3D was exactly what I was expecting. The basic cheesy, gory horror flick. The previews made it seem cheesy and that's what audiences should be looking for. I don't understand why how people are getting upset with how it wasn't realistic or how this and that. The makers knew what their intentions were when making/remaking this film and they went with it. The only thing that bothered me was that it felt like the movie lasted quite a while but overall pretty hilarious.

Zach and Miri Make A Porno is awesome. It's a Kevin Smith film, so nuff' said.

Role Models was a lot better than I expected it to be. I don't there was at any point where I stopped laughing. And I have definitely found a new love for Paul Rudd. He has always been a somewhat dull supporting character for a different kind of comedic relief. He's that character that everyone remembers of but never knows his name. I feel that he finally cleared up his name with this movie that he is one hilarious person.

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button was such a great long movie. It just told a story one man and his life. How he dealt with his problem and how he affected others along the way.

Marley And Me was definitely not a kids film. I won't lie either. I bawled like a little bitch in that movie. I'm sure everyone knows by now what happens, but no joke, it was really depressing.

The Spirit was awesome by the way. I know everyone hated it but maybe it's because they don't have the kid in them anymore. The dialogue and characters were definitely beyond cheesy and way over the top. But that's the whole point. It reminded me of Looney Tune cartoons and how melodramatic everything was. That's what the movie was. If you can't appreciate that, then don't bother to watch it. Besides that, there were other little things in the movie that made you really pay attention to which made it even more fun to watch.

Those were the big ones that I can think of or that were fresh in my mind. I'll possibly be watching the horrid Uninvited and see how much they butchered The Tale Of Two Sisters with that and The Reader.
