Throw the Mind [dot] Com

I’ll be honest, I wanted to see this movie because Heath Ledger died in the middle of making it.  I wanted to see how they pulled off finishing it, and to the writers credit, they did a good job.  I can’t really explain the movie.  I walked out feeling the same way.  It was weird, very colorful, and kind of hard to follow.  I entertained by it, but I don’t think I would watch it again. I know this review isn’t much help.  If you like Johnny Depp, Heath Ledger, Jude Law, Jude Law then see the film.  They all play the same person very well.

This was movie two of the new years movie night.  I thought it was a great movie.  It was action packed enough for me, as well as clever.  Sherlocks Holmes was a smart ass, and I loved it.  I also really liked how “magic” was explained.  I’m guessing most people didn’t notice this.  I did and it’s what made me love the movie.

For Christmas Tandy got me a new wallet.  Inside that wallet was a gift card to the Monaco theater.  The other night we went to see two movies, this being the first one.

Its a movie about a guy who travels a lot and doesn’t seem to ever want to settle down with a family.  Of course, he meets a girl and finds out some things about himself.  All while trying to save his job from bring taken over by technology.

I thought the movie was good.  Had some funny moments, and some serious ones.

So I went to see this while I was up in WI.  It was kind of a family thing.  The grandparents, parents, and an aunt all went to see it.  The movie is your basic chick flick.  Guy and girl are on the outs, story progresses and guy and girl get back together.  The story around the chick flick part is about guy and girl getting sent to the middle of Montana to live.  Guess what?  They are city slickers!  Yep city slickers that don’t love each other, but find out they do in the end.

Watching this movie marks only the second time in my life I have ever walked out of a theater.  I guess it never crossed my mind that all the RiffTrax where actually scripted, but watching this movie sure made me realize it was. Everything is scripted including the bickering back and forth between the Riffers.  It made the whole concept of Riffing feel so wrong.  I thought these guys were just great at what they do, and could come up with riffs on the spot.  In fact this is completely wrong, and they probably rehearsed many times before performing in front of a live audience.

Most of you are probably thinking I’m an idiot for thinking this wasn’t rehearsed beforehand, but really its just one of those things that never crossed my mind.  I really like Mystery Science Theater 3000, but I just couldn’t sit through this RiffTrax thing.  I walked out about half way, and don’t feel to bad about it.  Being there for an hour and only laughing 3 times, I feel I made the right decision.  Oh well at least I know not to pay $12.50 next time right?
