Aliens and assholes and Smurfs, oh my!
Aug. 2nd, 2011 01:41 amNow, mom and I were extremely excited about Cowboys vs. Aliens since Daniel Craig is freaking hot especially when beating people up although she did admit to being reminded of Cad Bane. It must have been the hat.
We were a bit scared at first because most of the audience were old people, not sure why. I also did not appreciate how certain old people feel a need to wear enough perfume for the rest of the country. Perfume is for your own personal space and that alone. My throat started to hurt by the end and I was very thankful I didn't get into a coughing fit.
One of the things that intrigued me about the film was whether it would be like The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr especially with the steam punk. Not so much it turns out but just enough that I wasn't looking to nitpick over historical inaccuracies. Sam Rockwell was adorable.
( Quit killing people I like! )
Crazy, Stupid Love was great, too. It was well cast and a wonderful script that had ( one of the biggest unexpected twists all year. )
Now, I love The Smurfs. I'm a child of the 80s so...duh and then you add Neil Patrick Harris...but it could have been better. Neil was very sedate and I was expecting bigger although the emotional moments for his character were very cute. I also felt they could have been directed better about how to interact with The Smurfs. I was catching them using techniques developed on Who Framed Roger Rabbit? which was over twenty years ago...
However, the Smurfs were adorable. I kept staring at their eyes. On the cartoons, they're just black but now they've blue marbles of expression and just beautiful. Also, Gutsy Smurf is played by Alan Cumming and Vanity Smurf by John Oliver.
I did have ( one quibble. )
