Movie # 2 Mirrors

It was now my turn to pick a movie to watch, and being that I like horror and chick flicks I decided to go with horror to not be so tough on my boyfriend. Either way it wasn't really fair because he doesn't like horror movies, but who said this was fair anyway! Mirrors featured Keifer Sutherland, not one of my personal favorites, but he was good in this movie. Keifer Sutherland is a retired detective who has a major drinking problem and is separated from his wife and kids, sleeping on his sisters couch. He takes the job of a security guard for the Mayflower in New York, an old department store that is a important land mark. However, he has no idea that the Mayflower to be a psychiatric ward.

His shifts are the graveyard shift, and after the second shift weird things start to happen, he sees things in the mirror, images of him hurting himself and he can actually feel it. For several weeks these strange events keep happening and Keifer Sutherland becomes obsessed. He begins to tell his wife and sister about these weird mirrors and no one believes him, obviously. He begins to realize that the mirrors are now coming after his family, so he desperately asks the mirrors what they want from him.

The mirror wants Eseker. Ana Eseker was a patient in the psychiatric ward before it became a department store, he eventually tracks her down in a nun convent in Pennsylvania. She explains to him that the doctor's treatment for many of the patients was he would strap them in a chair in a room full of mirrors and have them face their own image. The mirrors had collected many souls of the patients who had experienced the treatment. he begs her to come with him, but she resists several times. Eventually they face the mirrors and the curse is broken. However, in the end Keifer Sutherland realizes he broke the curse, but he too is trapped in the mirrors.

I really liked this movie. It sounds corny, but really it was good and I'm a tough critic. I compare all horror movies the The Exorcist, which is pretty hard to beat. I do recommend it though, it is one of the better recent horror movies I have seen.

Movie #1 Lord of War

"There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is: How do we arm the other 11? " This was said by Yuri Orlov and I happen to disagree completely with his logic, but it definitely made a pretty good action movie plot. The first film we watched was Lord of War with Nicholas Cage, this was one of the choices from my boyfriends list. The film is about Yuri Orlov who is a son to Ukrainian parents. His profession started by selling guns to mobsters in his neighborhood of Little Odessa to becoming an illegal arms dealer with his cocaine addicted brother.
They travel and sell to countries all around the world who are at war. One of his particular clients is a warlord in Africa who in the end turns out to cause him big trouble. There was always many women in his life, but he has one obsession, a model named Ava Fontaine. He becomes so obsessed with her that when he becomes a millionaire, he seduces her, lies to her about his job, and they get married and have a son. For many years Ava has no idea what Yuri is doing and he is cheating on her left and right. The end of the Cold War causes their gun sales to boom making them even more money. Off course the whole time he is being watched and trying to be caught by Jack Valentine, a detective. In the end Ava finds out who Yuri is and she and their son disappear. Detective Valentine also gives up on chasing Yuri because he comes to the realization that our nation needs someone to do the job and it might as well be Yuri. As for Yuri, he continues to sell illegal arms, sleep with women, and make millions.
Overall I have to say that I liked the movie.
My favorite type of film I would say would be comedy and horror, but for an action movie it was very good. It kept you interested the whole time. I would assume this would be very popular among guys, because of the guns, women, etc. If i had to rate it from1-10 I would give it a 7.

Playing Movie-Opoly

Movie watching is probably one of the most popular past times in the United States. People usually watch movies according to what they are into such as comedy, horror, etc. I must say watching movies is one of my favorite past times, and a lot of my free time is spent watching movies with my boyfriend and friends. There are times when we have a hard time picking movies because everyone wants to watch different movies. So I created a movie game called Movie-Opoly. The game is ideally played with two players, each person makes a list of their five favorite movies and together they must watch all ten. At the end of the viewing each person has to pick their one favorite from each others five, no matter how embarrassing the movie may be. I decided to play Movie-Opoly with my boyfriend, each of my post will talk about the movies we watched and in the end I will post our favorite selections.
