Week #3 in summary...! Apart from Nolan rewatches, I really like bombs this week...

Hello my dearest readers. This is me, Stevee, apologizing for my lack of non-Nolan movies this week. Okay, I rewatched three, but I have to apologize for it! It's okay if you want to shoot me or something...

So...what did I watch this lovely week number trois??

• Inception (2010) Yes...three long days after the first time I watched it. And guess what?? I'm going to see it again for my birthday in a couple of weeks. I am still pretty excited over it! (My friends: "She is obsessed with it. She is going crazy.") 10/10.


• (500) Days of Summer (2009) One of my favourite movies of all time. And because I am so behind with my blogging (here's the thing, I have internet in one place but not the other...it sucks), I just posted a crappy video review I did a while ago. I would prefer it if you clicked the link that goes to my actual wordy review. Reason for watching this?? Ah, Joseph Gordon-Levitt *swoon*. 10/10


• Daybreakers (2009) Not a rewatch. I'm amazed too. A pretty cool vampire flick that makes me pretty scared about the future. I'm not ready to become a vampire!! 6/10


• The Hurt Locker (2008) The winner of Best Picture. Yes, it is better than Avatar. But not better than Inglourious Basterds, District 9 or Up in the Air. Hell, Kathryn Bigelow sure did deserve that Best Director though. She runs rings around those guys who think they can do Iraq war films! 8/10


• Speed (1994) A total kick-ass movie. Bloody loved it from start to finish. Oh...and Sandra Bullock. WIN! 8/10


• Batman Begins (2005) Christopher Nolan is amazing. That isn't the first time you've heard that on this blog, right? I liked Batman Begins a lot better with the second watch...10/10


• The Dark Knight (2008) Beware: this is a lengthy review. I did apologize at the beginning of this post...10/10.

Okay, so all my rewatches got perfect scores...I'm not going to do Best Movie and Worst Movie because there isn't really a clear deserver of either of those categories.

Highlight of my week (non Movie a Day): Christopher Nolan night at my friends. Or going to see Inception with my friends (not watching the movie, what happened before it started...that's a whole other story!). Oh, and finally getting the highest mark for class speeches (surprisingly, mine wasn't on Chris Nolan, it was on Facebook.)

Lowlight of my week: Um, there was a bit of unhappiness circling around my group of friends. Not a good thing!

Bring on next week...

Speed

Speed has been sitting by my bed for ages now, and I have finally got around to watching it. I don't think words can explain how much I love Sandra Bullock as an actress. She is just such a lovely person.
It seems like just another day, but it isn't. A young policeman, Jack Travens (Keanu Reeves), must save the lives of many passengers on a bus because the bus will explode if it goes under 50mph. When the bus driver gets shot, Jack must put his trust into a young woman, Annie (Sandra Bullock) to keep driving the bus until they can get out safely.
This movie was so easy to enjoy, which is amazing for me because I'm not a huge fan of adrenaline rush action movies. Nor am I a hige fan of Keanu Reeves, who is less than fabulous in this movie. But I forgot about that pretty soon, because it wouldn't matter who was in this film: it would still be bloody entertaining.
I guess now I'll be pretty paranoid about going in buses. The movie just lets the viewer go with the flow, even though some of the things that are happening in it are totally unbelievable. And then there is Sandra Bullock, who is completely wholesome and easy to relate to.

I can't really say much more other than I really enjoyed this movie, and could watch it any time. After watching it, I felt as high as a kite.

A fantastic adrenaline rush movie.

8/10
