DVR recorded movie ratings #13

I really need to start updating this movie blog more often. I've been watching movies, but then by the time I get to blogging about it, I'm losing valuable interest in what it was about. Not as in I don't know what rating to give it, but more as in valuable information of what makes it stand out, or parts of the storyline.

• Looper: I don't really care for Bruce Willis. Ya, I know and I don't want to hear it. I know him as David Addison from Moonlighting, not as the yippy- kayay crap. Never seen a Die Hard movie (well I've seen snip-its of it, but whatever). Anyway, I saw this because I had read that it was a good movie. I love me some Joseph Gordon- Levitt. Him, I can watch in multiple movies, the guy is awesome! Anyway, I had forgotten that I had read about his fake nose to make him appear more like a younger Willis. This did not look good on him, he looked kinda strange. I actually liked the movie, it was a bit predictable in some parts, but overall, it was a pretty decent and entertaining movie. I give this 4 Daisy-girls.
•  Fireflies In The Garden: This movie has a LOT of known names: Willem Dafoe, Julia Roberts, Ryan Reynolds, Emily Watson, Carrie- Ann Moss, Hayden Panettiere. The story flips from present to flashback and back to present through Ryan's eyes. His dad (Willem) was pretty damn strict, making him walk home in the rain for supposedly losing his glasses. As it goes to present time, we see that Ryan did not care to come home, but did so because his mom (Julia) was going to be graduating college after being a stay-at-home mom for years. Thing is, it turns out mom and dad got into a car accident due to their nephew ( of all people) standing in the middle of the street getting a baseball. Mom passes away and the rest of the movie is ow guilty the kid feels, Ryan and his sister trying to figure out what to do with mom's things and the secret life mom had (an affair for the past 2 years) with a professor who actually made her happy. Which was all Ryan really cared about. Willem was an asshole. I don't get how the movie got bad reviews, it's not so bad of a movie. There were a few unresolved issues, but I read about them in some movie spoiler sites. I guess I must have missed them in the actual movie, or it was just assumed. Anyway, I say go watch this movie. I give it 3 Daisy-girls.
• Inside Deep Throat: Uhm ya, go see this documentary. It talks about the actual movie "Deep Throat" and the real people involved in it are interviewed, except of course for Linda Lovelace (in case you didn't know, she died). It talks about how it became very popular, how it changed movie life, how it changed everyone's life who was involved in one way or another in the film. Even the main porn guy (the doctor! heh), who was sent to jail and was in there for 5 years(!) just for starring in this movie. Ya, they do show snip-its of the actual movie, so be prepared to actually watching the deep-throating going on. But this documentary was very interesting and that's not only because I have a sick twisted mind at times. I give this 5 Daisy-girls.
• Toast: Movie starts Freddie Highmore (Norman Bates!), Helena Bonham Carter, and some other actors. Starts from Freddie's character being young and how mom was not a great cook or baker, so every time she messed up dinner time (which was often), she would make toast. Once dad was awake at night and heard moaning coming from Freddie's room. Dad opens the door and asks what he is doing, Freddie's kid character pops up from under the covers and says nothing, after dad leaves, the kid pulls out a book about food that he had been looking at under the covers. He tries to make dinner a few times, but dad doesn't like change and mom feels as if she is useless, so once again, for dinner, there is toast. Mom passes away due to asthma and Helena shows up to cook and clean the house. This makes Freddie uncomfortable. As time passes, Freddie is now a high school kid who decides to take home economic classes so that he can cook for dad. Helena ( by now the step-mom) is still part of their lives and he competes with her to get dad's attention through food.  In the end, Freddie decides to leave and work at a restaurant kitchen where he is seen smiling and ready to enjoy his adult life. I give this movie 4 Daisy-girls.
• Celeste and Jesse Forever: I had been wanting to see this movie since it came out in the theater. Thank goodness I waited to see it at home. ya, I cried, what of it?!? It means I have a damn heart that got chipped a bit because I did really want Celeste and Jesse to work it out no matter what! I cried because this could be any couples relationship that married their best friend and their best friend means everything to them! Anyway, I wasn't really bawling, but it was a quirky movie in which Celeste and Jesse decide that their marriage didn't workout and decided to separate. He lives in the garage in the meantime and she lives in the house. they still hang out every day, feelings are still there, but they both try and stand their ground. Well damn Jesse fucks it up and slept with  chick (this is all told because it happened before the movie story line) and it turns out she is pregnant, so he wants to make it work out with her. Celeste says something that still to now make me wince. When they were discussing how kids was never an option in their marriage, Celeste says that it's not that she didn't want to have kids, she didn't want to have kids with him (Jesse). Ya, she had reservations about having kids with her best friend, her husband. Ouch!!!! This wasn't even a heated argument, where you say stupid shit you regret. No, this was an intimate discussion and what they were going to do about this pregnant chick. I'm sorry, but no matter what, if you still love your soon-to-be ex and is still in your life as your best friend, you NEVER tell them anything like that. THAT broke my heart, I felt bad for Jesse. I can't really say he fucked up because they were separated when he fucked the other chick. I say they both did, in other ways. Anyway, I give this movie 5 Daisy-girls.
