Movie Watching Season
One thing that occurs regularly in my life, is that if I see something that I can fix, I fix it up until it’s all running along smoothly then leave it. I leave it because generally it becomes overbearing, boring or tedious. For example, my love of real-life simulation games as I have mentioned in a previous post, I try to make heaps of money and quickly progress through the game but when everything is just perfect or near perfect, theres nothing worth going to the trouble to upkeep. The point I’m trying to make is this blog, well I’m trying my best to .. ok, fine not really- yes, I have been slack about posting. Thats going to change, well hopefully. 
Yesterday I went and saw, Fame, you know, that movie-based-on-the-remake-of-the-original movie, movie? It was okay, maybe 1 1/2 stars out of 5. The story revolves around 6+ people and follows their ups and downs during their four year stay at an elite New York Performing Arts School. The story moves swiftly, and I think because the film focuses on too many people, the moral of the story is lost. Just under two hours running time, it’s not enough to cover all of these characters- which have so much potential! You would think that after two hours of watching a movie you would learn the characters names and ambitions, yet again, everything isn’t given.. depth.
Fame just appears to be the three High School Musical movies squished into one movie. But it’s not all disappointing, its got a good soundtrack with catchy songs such as Baby Remember My Name, Try, Out Here On My Own. As well they used the song Black and Gold by Sam Sparro, which appears be a perfect song for a dance routine in the movie.
“Remember my name,
Fame!
I’m gonna live forever..”
On an upside I saw the film preview for the movie, The Box. Okay, so it doesn’t have an original name, yet the plot behind it is unique. Starring Cameron Diaz, it’s based on a couple who are struggling with financial problems. The bad guy, the typical black, pinstriped suit with the bowler hat comes along and offers them a solution. They are presented with a box, with a large shiny red button in the middle. If the couple chooses to press the red button, someone they don’t know in the world will die because of their action. On top of that they get a million dollar payment. If the red button isn’t pushed…*suspense* I won’t tell you… check it out,
P.S. I think I’ll keep an eye on Cafe World’s Users- it jumped from about 6 million to 8,586,747 million users in about 1-2 days. At this rate, they’ll probably jump Restaurant City Users (currently sitting on 16, 171, 098 users) in perhaps a week at best.
Lets see what happens.
I’m curious.
