locked out

writing again from poland. still in warsaw, haven't gone to either sopot nor krakow. and it doesn't look like we will be going either. we have 2 days left to tourist, which is to short of time for any longer travels. but warsaw is very nice. we've been out drinking (way to much) and checking out some museums and other intresting sights.

right now, we've taken an easy night. went to see the new lynch movie (and yeah... 2h50min of shear horror, both ways). just came back to the hostel, where they seem to have misplaced the key to our dormitory (10 beds, useless in their case), and with no spare keys nor spare beds. hmm... quite the jam we're in. well, i'll tell you all how this exciting story evolves next time. ante vante's sitting next to me and looking quite bored of the whole situation.

kinda funny how one can get a bad conscience from not blogging. haven't blogged since last friday and i've been feeling bad about it all the time. but i've told myself that the weekends are off, so i don't have to feel stressed about it. no good that helped, apparently. ;)

anyway, had a lovely weekend... inside! hardly went out, god i was so hungover on saturday. messed up the entire weekend, it did. but what the hell, had a nice time, though. and i'm starting to have my suspicions that i'm getting the shits from drinking... uh-oh, better walk this plank rather lightly. ;)

otherwise, it's been good. am up to date with my tv-shows, spent saturday night (me, my pizza, my coke and my candy) watching shows i hadn't seen in a while.
yesterday, i saw the new harry potter movie. i know, i'm going alot to the movies right now. it feels like i've become one of those guys that rather wants to stay in and watch a film, than go out and party. a review of the film will come in a later post.

let's go to prison

i think i'm in a movie-phase of my life right now. i've went to the cinema twice last weekend and i've rented god knows how many movies over the past month. some good, other not so.

a movie i saw... and liked, is a movie with the title 'let's go to prison'. it's about this guy, a petty criminal, who blames the judge who's sentenced him to prison all his life. the movie starts when this guy is releasted (for the fourth time, or so) from prison and he's determined to avenge the judge. just to find out that the judge had recently passed away. still angry and avengeful, he decides to take it out over the judge's son and somehow manages to cause enough chaos for the son to be sentenced to prison. but it doesn't stop there. the ex-con is still not satisfied and therefor makes himself go to prison, so that he can torment the rich kid son some more.

everytime i've recommended the movie to someone, people have said that it doesn't sound like a high quality movie. and that's true. but that's not their goal with the movie. it's suppose to funny. which it is. it's hilarious. the movie takes a character out of his natural enviroment and puts him in an opposite one. then add the element of a deceitful best friend and some barry white... and presto! you have a good, funny movie! if you like to laugh, you should see this movie!

ocean's thirteen

my fuzzy wuzzy friend timmy came over to me yesterday. he actually lives outside of stockholm, in a small town with around 3000 people in it. since we both had been out the night before, we couldn't really go out again. not fit for the fight, so to say. but we did catch a movie instead. and saw ocean's 13.

ocean's 13 is like the other oceans'. the same character, the same plot, the same wit. so, if you liked the other ones, then you'll definately like this one as well. in this movie, the gang's old boss reuben (elliott gold) get's suckered off a deal that results in a heartattack. so this time, it's about revenge and not about money or prestige. it is about prestige, however, for the man who screwed reuben. willy bank (al pacino) is building a new hotel in las vegas. he's famous for making different and high class, awardwinning hotels. but he messed with the wrong guy so to say.

the task the ocean's gang is trying to get away with this time is, of course, very difficult, if not impossible. but they try, they're smart and they... well, see the film. ;)

i like all of the ocean's movies, but this time, it felt like it was to perfect. even though it seemed impossible at first and people around them said it couldn't be done, the movie never expressed any real unachievable objects. set backs, yes, but the nerve-breaking, sweating; "shit, how the hell are they going to solve this?"-feeling never emerged.

personally, i would have wanted to see them really get set-backed in the last minute. i can't tell all the details, but i would have wanted al pacino's character a bulb brighter or 2. and in the end, when they tell how they pull the unexpected off, it just get's to much. they're perfect and they see, hear and know everything.

but still, they're the ocean's gang. and i like them.

transformers

saw the movie last night and all i can say is, yummie!

the movie is about, if some one doesn't know, about decepticons and autobots, robots from a planet far away that comes to earth in search for an energy source, known as "allstar", or "the cube". and the battle between them, as well as with the humans. autobots are good, with no intention on hurting humans, while decepticons do not care for anything other than control over universe.

i had very high expectations on this movie. yesterday i was counting down the minutes and i was almost exploding with excitement. a couple of weeks ago, i streamed some of the first episodes of transformers, just to freshen up on the plot and characters. which helped alot. but with that in mind, i was a bit disappointed. the robots had to human-like faces, which kind of took the edge off a bit. in the cartoons, optimus prime had just a big jaw, not mouth with lips. and bumblebee was a volkswagen beetle, not a racer. the other thing bothering me, was the corny humor that was used all of the time. sure, you laugh a bit, but you wonder why they really try to make it funny in between. some of the jokes are just not necessary. the movie could have been better without it, i think. had it been me, i would have probably made the movie a bit darker.
in the cartoon, the autobots and decepticons came in a spaceship that crashed on earth several thousand years ago. the robots "died", but were put together by the spaceship's computer in modern time. the spaceship computer took images of our vehicles and built the robots after those images. in the movie, the robot's have themselves a scanner that can make them take any shape they want. which is a bit cooler.
if i'm suppose to be objective about this film, then i'd say it's a nice action movie, with awesome special effects. cause the special effects are really out of this world! but as an old transformers fan, i can't say this movie is anything other than good! it's a long sought for film and i'm glad it finally came!

sitting at work, haven't had much to do lately. i've spent most of the days watching cartoons on veoh. i think i've watched all of the batman cartoons and now i'm going through the justice league.

otherwise, i'm really psyched today. cause in less than 3 hours, i'll be in the cinema, watching transformers!!! even though i haven't seen it yet, i know 3 things. first of all, this is the movie i've been waiting for ever since i first saw transformers (hence, since i was 5. or something like that). second, i know i'll see this movie again, in the cinemas, as will this be one of the few movies i'll have on dvd. and third, i know i'll cry. not because of the drama or anything like that. but because, it will be so beautiful. a couple of weeks ago, when i was bored at work (which i am all of the time), i saw the first season of the first transformers cartoon. and you know when you get that warm, fuzzy feeling, like when you like someone, or just going on a really cool ride in an amusement park? that's the feeling i got for the cartoons. now, we're talking a cinematic real deal, so to say. and the feeling i'm feeling now is more like when i've just bought plane tickets somewhere i've longed to go! i can't wait to see the movie and i'm seriously counting down the minutes (right now, it's exactly 2h30m, which is also my brake and a colleague brought a cake)!

la môme

saw the movie 'la môme' yesterday with my wonderful sassy s. funny enough, the swedish translator translated the title of the film to 'la vie en rose'... which is of course weird, since translating a french title to french is... well, stupid, pardon my french.

the story is about the life of which the great singer edith piaf lived and shows us just how much life can be, both fragile and joyful. it is not a sobmovie nor a chickflick, even though i am inclined to pushing it into that corner. but is it more a movie about life itself and where everyone has something to take from it.

when me and sassy s were discussing what movies we were to go to, my (obvious) suggestion was the newly released 'pirates of caribbean', when sassy s told that it would be 'la vie en rose' or nothing at all. so i dragged myself to the cinema, waiting to pay a fortune for about 2 h sleep. but when the movie was finished and the lights turned on, it was me sitting there, sobbing and thinking of the greatness of such a small and frail woman.

she was so whole, yet broken at the same time. maybe that's how we all are. whole, yet broken, looking to be fixed.

i can stand not having sex if i can...

see this movie instead... *drewl*
