The Saddest Summer Ever

Or at least 'The Drumms' say so.
Anyway, every year we watch movies where teenagers have to go on a vacation with their parents, and they complain about it, but in the end they find one true love there/something paranormal happens.
Every year I go on a vacation with my parents hoping something will happen, but no.
And this year is not an exception. I am going to the seaside, and I am going to spend three weeks there, and die due to boredom.
So we have a lot of beach-themed movies.
'Grease' isn't one of them, but it does have that famous scene, where they meet. On the beach. An the whole movie is about, you know, 'Summer Loving', even though it is set in school- (And did you realise that 'High School Musical' is the same as 'Grease', except they meet during the winter holiday. It's also kind of Incepcion-y: musical in the musical. Nevermind.)
Then there is 'The Last Song'-Miley Cyrus refuses to spend summer with her dad, but she is forced to, and then she meets the guy.
Oh, yes, of cource, 'Killers'. The story is kind of different, but begining is the same-she goes to Nice with her parents, and she meets the guy there.
Dirty Dancing. Again, you know the story.
And I figured that 'Titanic' is kind of the same. I mean, it's not the beach, but it is a vacation. With parents.
Oh, in 'Aliens in the Attic', nobody finds a boyfriend/girlfriend, but it turns out that the house they are staying actually has aliens in the attic. Yeah, I know, the title doesn't spoil anything.
Oh well..

One day I will have a 'Eurotrip'-type of vacation. Until then...





Oh, screw that, everything is fine as long as I have internet connection.

You know what day it is today?

It's July 31st.
Happy birthday J.K. Rowling!
And also, happy birthday Harry!

you got a tattoo to match your personality

Daria reurns to MTV tomorrow! Daria is probably the best thing on MTV ever, and I am really glad it's coming back! I think you all miss that cynical teen. The show is also really quotable!

Strange Is Relative

Three months. It took me three months to see Dark Shadows. I am a failure.

It always sounded so amazing-Tim Burton, and HBC and Johnny Depp, and everyone else. 

So, Barnabas Collins, a vampire, returns to his home after 200 years of beeing... in a tomb. Because a witch cursed him. Because he broke her heart. Anyway, he is in the 70ies now. Pretty cool, ha? Well, you know the storry if you watched the originial series from 1966. 

I don't usually like when Burton combines  his classic gothic style with a lot of jokes, but this one was kind of good. I think I died laughing when 'The Joker' part came (the song came out in 1973 though, and the movie is set in 1972!). And I love that Hannah Murray (Cassie from 'Skins') appeared as the hippie chick!

The last 20  minutes of the film were... Well, they could have been better. Bella Heathcote (Victoria) could have acted just a little better. And Chloe Grace Moretz (Carolyn) as well. I kind of thought that se would be mind-blowing here.

But everything else was amazing! Soundrack as well! And so was Alice Cooper!

I realised that I haven't seen a lot of movies in the past couple of weeks. And that is bad. Really bad. I rewatched movies a lot, though. But anyway, I'm gonna write short reviews for those movies I did see.

LOL (the Miley Cyrus version)
They copy-pasted the original version. But the story in general is kind of... boring. Although, it has great soundtrack.

The Hunger Games 
Yes, it has been 283472834783473847 since its release.. It was good, better than I expected, and I  really liked that they sticked to the book, I don't really like it when they change a lot of things.

The Lorax 
I actually liked it. I can't beieve that the only voice I recognized was Betty White's, and there were a lot of actors. Again, great soundtrack.

The Amazing Spiderman

Well, it really was amazing. Really. Andrew&Emma did a great job. And everyone else. But it does miss that famous  Spiderman upside-down kiss. And if you plan to watch it in the theatre, make sure to stay for credits(you'll see)!

Okay, since I wasted  my first post and wrote something REALLY dumb, I'm gonna try not to ruin my second post. I'll list my top ten movies and and write a one sentence review for each of them.

 #10 Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
It makes you laugh, and it also makes you cry.
#9 Trainspotting (1996)
Great film, also do not use it as and excuse for dating an under-aged girl if you are in your 20ies.
#8 The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
Disney's stop-motion film, truely amazing+a must-watch on every Halloween, and Christmas.
#7 Leon-the Professional  (1994)
Frightening, and great.
#6 Scott Pilgrim vs the World (2010)
It is a romantic-action-comedy (romactiodey?), as awesome as it could be.
#5 Juno (2007)
Quirky teenager gets pregnant-time for her to grow up
 (main point is that she is quirky, the movie wouldn't be as excellent as it is without that)
#4 Fight Club (1999)
Great story with great casting, a lot of great quotes and a great soundtrack (I need to stop using the word great)
#3 Donnie Darko (2001)
Amazing film, you will be scared of rabbits after watching  it, though.
#2 Pulp Fiction (1994)
Oh, come on, do I really need to say anything about this masterpiece?
#1 Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)
Do not judge me if you are not the fan, but I need to list this movie as a number one- these books and movies marked my childhood, and it does make me cry every time I watch it.
