I know I haven't been here for a LONG time. Haven't answered to people's messeges, blogs, and whatnot and been missing out to review the latest movies I've seen (can't wait for Tropic Thunder, Iron Man was cool, Indy 4 was disapointing, Get Smart was hilarious, and Dark Knight is the best movie I've seen in a long time).

So I felt it was approriate to say that I am discontinuing me updating with people's actions or blogging... in GameSpot. I'm going to do this instead in GIANT BOMB (Jeff Gerstmann, Ryan Davis, Brad Shoemaker's new video game website). Reply back if you have a profile there so that way I can send you a friend request. See you there!

Again, I haven't been blogging lately. I didn't post one of my favorite hobbies on this fine blog, but one of 'em is writting screenplays (original or adaptation). I started writing screenplays after my "the positive and negatives 1" blog after I started reading acatual screenplays of Annie Hall, There's Something About Mary, and The 40-Year-Old Virgin.

During my one week vacation off from school, I got writer's block all day and just wanted something to watch. I already watched Thank You For Smoking and Annie Hall the other day so what other DVD I have I can watch and have fun. I picked out my... THE 40-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN. After watching it, I stamped it as my favorite film OF ALL TIME! Now back then when I was child, I would say my favorite film of all time was Space Jam. But seriously, 40YOV is so perfect in making me laugh hard and make me root for the kind fellow Andy (Carrell's character). I tried to do the look of the film's poster and I couldn't do it as perfectly as Carell's. I wanted to see this film for the poster and for Carell who I thought was really funny in Bruce Almighty, Daily Show, and Anchorman.

40-Year-Old Virgin, the title tells you what the story really is. But you would expect this film to be just raunchy and heartless. It is raunch, very raunchy. But it's got a lot of heart, you care for Andy and root for him and also like the personalities and side-plots for his 3 friends (Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, and that guy from Weeds). Andy and Trish (Keener's character) have such great chemistry and you like that they're a couple. It doesn't feel forced at all and that's a touchdown. It's also a great satire, I guess you can call it that, for expoloring Andy's first encounter with "protection", his drive home with a drunk girl, his waxing treatment, and his "date" with himself (which in the end stops the whole thing, and decides to watch Everybody Loves Raymond). If you haven't seen this movie, you owe it to yourself to watch it. That is if you don't mind any humor reminiscent of Superbad or There's Something About Mary.

For us Americans, half or most of us don't like the Oscars Ceremonies (I mean look at last year's ratings, whoa!). Anyways this year's Oscar nominees happens to be the brightest, smartest, and wittiest comedies I've seen in a long time and that's Juno. It's basically Napoleon Dynamite meets Knocked Up added with alternative folk music and hip dialogue that will make older people want a translator to understand what a blog is. I really liked Juno a lot and the first time I saw it, I was amazed at why it was nominated for Best Picture. Then my heart went because Juno did win your heart. Without being too poetic, this movie has very funny lines of dialogue like "That ain't no etch-a-sketch. This is one doodle that can't be undid, home skillet." to "Honest to blog?". Oh and definately "He's got brains and guts coming out of the ying-yang". You might dislike the hip dialogue but I personally couldn't stop repeating most of the lines in the movie throught the whole 2 days after I've seen it.

The cast is great, obviously. Michael Cera does his sthick of playing as the nervous guy with perfect nervous comedic timing that will make Ben Stiller very jealous. J.K. Simmons and Allison Janney play the supportive parents role very well though I wish more dialogue from J.K. Simmons. Olivia Thirlby as Juno's best friend Leah is funny in a weird way, but at times her wackiness took me out of the movie only 1-2 times. Jennifer Gardner and Jason Bateman have roles that will make you think their characters are very stero-typical as in you've seen these characters before. But during the progress of this fine movie, you'll realize that Gardner really should deserve Juno's baby while Jason Bateman's character is tough to like to but can be easily relatable to other men or women. But seriously, it's ELLEN PAGE who deserves the spotlight as well as to win Best Actress. Ellen Page's creation of Juno making her have a teenage vulnerbility to being a quirky, come-back hip girl is tought to have those two elements combined but Juno wins your heart that you start rooting for her throughout this unwanted pregnancy. I really liked Juno. And you know what? After I've seen it the second time (yes second) in the cinema, I asked myself something. Why couldn't there be girls in my high school like Juno?

My best friend named Jay drew a 40-Year-Old Virgin pic of me and it's not highly accurate I couldn't stop dreaming that this will be me someday. Hopefully, not going to be a 40-year-old virgin myself but anyways. Sorry I couldn't comment you guy's blogs for weeks but I've been busy with a bunch of school crap and screenplays (which isn't crap). Blog on this and I'll blog your next post. See you soon.

Hey, I knowI haven't posted for so long, and if you're willng to reply back to this blog, I'll definately will reply too. I got to talk about Cloverfield, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Meet the Spartans, and Paradise City. Here's something different I'll do for this blog. One side will be Positive and one side we'll be Negative.

POSITIVE

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 - I watched the 2 GS interviews and the first video diary and I instantly ran to GameStop and pre-ordered for the Xbox 360. I so can't wait for this game to come out, and the fact it's coming out in March 11th, it's a shock that it's close while Spore is so far away. Heh. Anyways, I re-visited the first R6: Vegas and I didn't like it as much as I thought I did when I played it a long time ago. Compared to Call of Duty 4, it'll end up as a loser if those two games ran in the Olympics.

Cloverfield - This movie was EPIC. It's a movie experience, just like I Am Legend, that seriously shouldn't be missed. It's the next Blair Witch Project meets Godzilla, and no not the American remake, but basically those monster movies that were entertaining. Blair Witch's intense horror of not knowing much meets elements of Godzilla. It doesn't include those long boring speeches of "Oh this monster was formed by nuclear warfare" but it's a story about a group of a few young adults trying to survive from the monster as they try to help the main character's girlfriend who is where the monster is. I know, I know "Why would you want to get in the middle of the city where there's the monster?". Well, it's called love. I don't want to spoil much, and if you didn't see this movie yet you won't know what I meant by that "love" answer. New York City has gone through a lot of stuff from movies, Godzilla, King Kong, I Am Legend vampires, and etc. It's like a roller-coaster simulation like Back To The Future Ride at Universal Studios for less than an hour and a half, but it's so darn good. I loved it and I plan to watch it again next week, but then I again I'll miss Strange Wilderness . It raises questions and knows it can't answer them because it's all told from the camera. The camera might be way too shaky all the time but I just recommend not to eat food so you won't be distracted and to sit all the way in the back so you won't hurt your eyes as much. If you're over 40 years old, your eyes will hurt even if you sit in the back. The ending might make people mad, but I liked it because "it was supposed to be like that people!" I give it a 4.5 out of 5 or 5 out of 5.

NEGATIVE

Burnout Paradise - This game isn't bad, I tried the full game at GameCrazy this weekend and I enjoyed it. But the reason why I didn't get it is it because I don't have the time to commit myself into playing a game. So sorry. Driving games hurt my fingers and thumps I got to add but I digress.

Meet the Spartans - This movie sucks soooooo baddddd. It steals jokes from everyone and other jokes that are already done and other jokes that is not original and is unfunny. I shouldn't even call these jokes, jokes. I should call them references. This movie doesn't deserve to make money at all, it should deserve to be buried in a burial site alongside the lame parody movies like Date Movie and Epic Movie, and then let Rambo and Cloverfield monster kill the movie reels. This movie gets .0 out of 5 or 0 out of 5, don't pay to watch it, rental or at the theatre, sneak into the theatre or wait for the bootleg online. AVOID!
