Matinee Week at the Donut Shop
Spent my Spring Break stuck at the Donut Shop. So I killed time running movies via my Zune HD’s AV Dock. Watched the whole first season of Reaper, all 4 Indiana Jones, all 3 Pirates of the Caribbean and others in between.
The third Pirates film was exactly like Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It was good the first hour and a half, but from then on the movie started to drag where I nearly dozed off, waiting for it to end. Kinda funny though, the movie made this Russian customer rage a bit. How do I know if he’s Russian? Well I guessed, he had a thick Russian accent. The scene that made him nearly rage quit was where Jack first appeared. He kept on asking questions to this other customer about how “silly” the movie was.
“Why do all the pirates look like him?” “This doesn’t make sense, where is the ship? On the snow?” “This film is making me angry, I think I lost some brain cells watching this.”
And more stuff like that, regarding the rock crabs, or ship on sand, whatever.
I also watched Battle: Los Angeles. I don’t think its out on DVD here in the states yet, heck, I think its still in theaters, but I sure got a DVD ripped quality to play at the shop. The title for the movie was instead “World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles”. Although the sound was off a teensy bit here and there. To sum it up, Battle: LA is pretty much two full hours of Black Hawk Down, but with the estranged second cousins twice removed of the prawns from District 9 coming down to invade. And the climax or how the ending is resolved is pretty similar to that of Independence Day. So yeah, Battle: LA is pretty much all three of these movies combined- minus the half hour of character development.
Speaking of which, I also played those movies. LOL. Yes. R-rated films at a donut store. Well its not like there were little kids hanging out in the shop while the movies were being played. Just a bunch of regulars.
And the last movie I watched was Repo Men. It was pretty good. The climax was awesome- but the final twist ending was, well. It left me kinda empty. Sorta like what Shutter Island did.
