Thanksgiving Weekend

Yay for thanksgiving. Finally had the chance to have a loooong break. However, all good things must come to an end =(... haha
Anyways, this weekend I got to catch two flicks. Tenacious D and Bobby.

Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny
I originally wasn't really interested in watching Tenacious D, but I mean it was Jack Black and my bro-hams wanted to watch it, so I said OK! The movie plot is bascially just about JB (Jack Black) and KG (Kyle Gass), forming a rock band. They find that it's tough to become a successfully rock band, so they go on an adventure to find a guitar pick that they think will give them the power to become awesome. haha and that is bascially it. The movie is classified as a comedy, I mean I laughed at some things, but it wasn't like water eyed funny hahaha (if that makes sense). I never heard the F work said so much ahhah... but the movie is kind of like a musical. The Tenacious D songs are played throughout the movie, and every song described what they are doing at that moment, exactly like a musical. My brother told me that the movie is exactly like their HBO show, so I guess if you've seen the show on TV then you should know what to expect. As for the rest of you, I say it was alright. HOWEVER, I think it would be wise to just wait for it when it goes on TV...












Bobby
Alright, so this movie I saw Friday night with some of my old buddies. I actually wanted to watch this film for awhile, just because Shia Labeouf was in it hahah.. But then I also wanted to see the interaction between an all star cast. To name a few, Helen Hunt, Martin Sheen, Joshua Jackson, Shia Labeouf, Anthony Hopkins, Demi Moore, and so much more... This movie is basically about, the assassination of Bobby Kennedy, and how it revovles around twenty two people that were there when he was shot at the Ambassador Hotel. Each story has its uniqueness to it I suppose, and of course each person is connected to one person out of the twenty two persons. I would categorize this film to be a drama, though there are some parts that would give you a chuckle here and there. When I watched the film, I must say that there were a lot of older folks that filled the theater. I think that my friends and I were probably the youngest ones in there... At the end of the film, the movie showed a couple of pictures of Bobby Kennedy, as well as JFK, and I must say, everyone stayed in their seats just looking at each photo. It was so long ago, that I think every person in there had a moment of nostalgia. It was a sad film. I mean you already know what the ending is going to be, so i guess everyones just waiting for that moment to come. Overall, i think the movie was alright too. I suppose i had high expectations of the film, and the overall outcome wasnt as great. This movie is definetly a DVD film. It's definitely interesting to see how all the chracterts worked out the way they did. I thought the movie was portrayed really well, and every character had thier own story. The ending is one of those endings where each character realizes when something tragic happens, the people around them is really the people that they value. (or something like that haha)
