The Ninja Reader
High-brow or downright pretentious, good PNR or sparkly vampires, I don't care about the premise so long as it entertains me.
Quickie movie review
Saw the last Hobbit. For those of you wondering what you're getting in for, here's the low down:
- if you haven't seen the second movie and you're going along with the group, that's okay - you'll catch on with most conflicts pretty quickly
- every third shot is of the movies has the actors posing like they're competing for the poster (meaning the camera work is spot on)
- about 3 or 4 shots in the movie look like they were made in order to go viral on Tumblr
- seriously, that shit will either make you laugh until you cry or cry until you laugh
- the movie would have been about 30 minutes shorter if the slo-mo scenes happened in normal time
- Legolas is still a ninja
- the scenes in the third act are in competition with each other to see which one makes you cry the hardest
- but if you're like me, you'll cry double the amount during the trailer of "Theory of Everything"
- in other words, stay hydrated
- you might also have the urge to scream "JUST KISS ALREADY" during some scenes with Bilbo and Thorin. (What is with Martin Freeman acting in all these fangirl-bait shows, anyway? Is this Hollywood's attempt at expanding the demographic?)
