Ready Set Cinema

Mainly a movie review blog. But deep issues I'm trying to work through are likely to appear now and then. It's an outlet for myself, because writing is all I know for such a purpose. var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-24092562-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })();

You're not even a good cosplayer. I don't get the hype.

I’m not?

I wonder, is it the make-up?

Or maybe the costuming?

Am I bad at costuming? (I made both of the below costumes COMPLETELY… In just under two weeks)

Maybe my character choice?

Think i’m bad at crossplay?

Maybe it’s my body?

Or my face?

Golly, i’m so sorry you think i’m a bad cosplayer.

I’m sorry you “don’t get it”.. except that i’m not sorry at all.

This is literally the greatest response to cosplay hate I have ever seen/experienced.

That feel though..

That moment when you've drank so much coffee, that your pee smells like coffee. And then you want more coffee because you smell coffee.

I work in the ghetto, and this is too true. Except most of the time it's 3 off them tied together filled with scrap metal and cans, going to the metal recycle facility.

Insane asylums and girls with guns...

       Now. I know I'm a little late for the party on this one. But I recently just watched Sucker Punch. And I normally don't enjoy watching movies in which it's a bunch of females with weapons just kicking ass. But I heard so many good things about this film that I had to check it out for myself.

      The credit that is due for this movie is given, and even more then that. The expectations I held for Sucker Punch were shattered by two key ingredients. Cinematography and the soundtrack. These two things worked together so well that I was captivated when a song would play, unable to affix my attention to something else. The fight scenes were a little eh. But that can mainly be attributed to the fact that it was all mind-play and there was hardly any action in 'reality' as I see it.

      For the simple fact that 90% of the film was done with CG, I must give brownie points where they are due. The team working on this movie did an outstanding job, and being so keen on aesthetics myself, I could nary find many major flaws. The dream sequences merged flawlessly with the movie, making it so you didn't discern a separation between the two worlds. This cinematic work executed for this movie made it even that much for of a joy to view.

     Now, Emily Browning played her role as Baby Doll fantastic. But the actress who I think deserves the kudos is Vanessa Hudgens. I personally don't like her. But this movie has me anticipating the roles she will choose for the future. And I know most of this is accredited to Snyder and his team. But Hudgens looked like a complete bad-ass in Sucker Punch. And she played her character Blondie in all her grandeur. And I don't know about you all. But the effort in which it must have taken to make Vanessa look like a bad-ass. Well. Let's just say all of that work was well placed, as I appreciate her role, and her acting now.

     Finals points to this movie would have to be the rest of the cast, as each person complimented everyone else in both their acting styles and the way in which they performed in their roles. And I was thoroughly surprised in Jena Malone, as she hasn't really been on my radar of favorite actresses, not even from Donnie Darko. So again, kudos Zack Snyder, and your team of ass-kicking women.

     I approve of your efforts here, and the fruits of your labors shall not go unnoticed. Sucker Punch receives the ReadySetCinema seal of approval.
