Waiting for Serenity...
Its been a while since I've posted and I am sorry about that. The past week has been somewhat eventful. Well as eventful as it could be stuck all the way down here. I watched a couple of movies in the past week which I would like to review. I haven't been able to watch the movie I have been waiting a year and a half for, Serenity, because I have been unable to be in brownsville for anything other than job searches but it all seems to have paid off because I got a job selling Linens and/or Things not sure yet. I still encourage anyone who can to go watch Serenity. I hear nothing but good things about it and I would really like to see some sequels made. Anyway the movies I have been able to watch are the lame plane movie Flightplan and the pretty good for a mexican movie 7 Dias (7 Days for the gringos).
Flightplan cannot be adequately reviewed without spoiling the ending. This is because the ending is so stupid that it has to be discussed in order to fully warn people who might want to live through it. If you really really want to watch a dumb movie without getting the retarded endind spoiled for you I will write the spoiler parts in italics and if you wish you may skip that part of the review. The movie starts well enough. If you have seen the commercial then you know what happens. Lady gets on a plane with her daughter only to wake up and find her missing (get it?...FIND her missing). She starts looking around for her and the flight crew helps her out but they start questioning her sanity when nobody seems to remember her daughter ever being on the plane and they get some damning evidence from some funeral director guy. At this point I have spoiled nothing for you. This was all on the trailer and thinking about how this was all in the trailer there really is no other possible conclusion than how it turns out. (SPOILER PARTS ARE ABOUT TO BEGIN!!!!)
Of course the mother keeps searching for the little girl. And it turns out she is alive and real. Apparently the sky marshall guy who was helping her and restraining her when it seemed like she was crazy is a terrorist who has a complicated plan for getting 50 million dollars. At the begining of the movie Jodie Foster's husband dies by falling off a roof. Jodie Foster and the daughter are taking the coffin back home and the sky marshall guy has placed C4 inside the coffin with the help of the funeral director guy who he is in cahoots with. He needs to kidnap Jodie Foster's daughter so that he will get acess to the coffin andso that everyone will think she is crazy and he can convince them that she is the terrorist. And this is the flaw in his retarded plan. In order for his plan to work, nobody must ever see the little girl while she is on the plane. While this is what actually happens in the movie it is very unrealistic. Jodie Foster is the first to get in the plane witht eh daughter so some flight attendant has to have noticed her. When everybody else gets on the plane, they have people in the rows in front behind and next to them. And finally there is the fact that flight attendants are almost always nice to little kids and give them special treatment. In order for the terrorist guy's plan to work none of these people could see the daughter and Jodie Foster and the daughter cannot make any friends while waiting for the plane. Do you see why this is a stupid plan? There are too many variables and it more than likely would not work. But of course the retarded plan has to work cause if not there is no movie but this is why the movie is retarded
(END OF SPOILER PART)
The other movie I watched is 7 Dias. It is a very good mexican movie. The actors are good despite the fact that they never seem to get the right Monterey accent. The plot is good after a lightly shaky start. More than anything it is quite funny. I would recommend it to anyone who happens to be in a theatre showing it.
Please go watch Serenity if you haven't already. I hear its very good and I want a sequel.
Peace Out
