An apology from Seige

Sorry. I know there's virtually no reader base at the moment, and that makes this mostly a superfluous ego trip, but still. I have been stressed out at school recently, and been having sleep trouble, so I haven't gotten any more reviews written though I have watched several movies including....

Rewatched

Alien Planet

American Pie

American Pie 2

American Wedding

American Pie Presents Band Camp

American Pie Presents The Naked Mile

American Pie Presents Beta House

and I've watched....

American Pie Presents The Book of Love

Planet 51

Up

American Pie Presents The Book of Love was crap. I'll be honest, I'm probably never going to write up a review for that one. Watching is physically hurt me. There was a lot of talk about it being "similar" to the first trilogy. Well, yes, it is, if by similar, you mean it's about three horny guys trying to get laid. If that's the only thing you're talking about, then SURE it's similar. If, however, you actually have an intellect more comprehensive than a 5-page pamphlet on Herpes, chances are you're going to think saying that they are similar is absurd.

Planet 51 and Up were better, and I might do reviews for those. However, since I might, I'm not going to talk about them.

The American Pie, and American Pie Presents series may get reviews, but might not since it was a rewatch rather than an initial watch. Similar for Alien Planet.

Alien Planet is an 1 hour 33 minute documentary on a theorized/simulated un-manned trip to an a life-bearing planet outside of our solar system. It features such scientists as physicist Stephen Hawking, and NASA Chief Scientist Dr. James Garvin. It's based on the science fiction book Expedition.

Anyways, that's all, folks. More later, till then, May the movies be with you.

Movie Review - The Watchmen

Pros

- Has enough action to be interesting, but not to make it focused on that.
- The scenes are slightly pessimistic, but not so far as to stray from reality.
- The end is a surprise to anyone who didn't read the comics, etc.
- It's complex, without being a mess.

Cons

- The only real issue I had with this film was the too long sex scenes which didn't advance the plot in the slightest.

Verdict

This is one of the best movies I have seen recently. It's complex, yet understandable, dark, but not depressing. Not the kind of movie you'd watch over and over, but one worth pulling out maybe once or twice a year.

Movie Review - Land of the Lost

I watched Land of the Lost today.

Pros

- Was in many ways, and during most of the movie very hilarious, yet it did go too far with this.

- Had pretty good special effects.

- Has a unique portrayal of people in general.
- Decent Acting

Cons

- Stereotypical love development.

- Fairly predictable.

- Went a bit too far with the comedy.

- Too much groping for my tastes.

- Weak, stereotypical story.

Verdict

An Okay movie. See it if you enjoy a lot of stupid comedy, and the kind of plot which has been done a million times before. The acting is pretty good, and the presentation is decent. Still, it can't be called a good movie. It did far surpass my expectations though.

First Blog Post

This is the first post of my new blog. I hope it goes well.

Hi, I am Seigeengine. I am here because I felt like sharing my opinions. Some have expressed a desire for me to make a blog, so I am. I'm going to be posting up, among other things, movie reviews. Short, and simple movie reviews. I have a few I've done in the past, and I'll use the same format. I'll get those up second, after I've posted the first, which will be in my second blog post.
