So I know I said I would start the challenge after the weekend, but my shift on Friday night was shorter than anticipated and what else are you gonna do on a stormy Friday night?
So this movie is two and a half hours long, and I did not realize that when I started watching it. That aside, the movie left me with mixed feelings at the end. You can read a brief overview of the movie here. This movie is about the porn industry, also something I was unaware of before viewing it. I guess that made it better that I wasn’t expecting it. There were moments when you realize that these people are just trying to make it, to get by, to survive, and because they’ve been told that they’re rotten in life have they chosen this industry. There are several moments when you really connect with the characters and feel what they feel. Some of the things you may have experienced, and that’s what makes it even more real. For some reason, I get the impression that the population thinks of the porn industry as people who aren’t necessarily real. These people tend to have loose morals, so people assume that they don’t have emotions either, and all they care about is getting some, but in reality, they’re just human. And they want exactly what every other human wants: to belong and to be loved.
Conclusion: watch if you have the time; interesting film; left me with some mixed feelings, some are still present. Overall, good movie. Would I say it was a “Heart in Throat” for me? Not by means of me being really emotional during or even after the movie, so I’m still questioning that.
So I know I’m hopping on the “Dexter” train a little late, considering 4 seasons are now out and the 5th will start this fall, but my friend Ana would not stop talking about it, so I figured, why not? I’m not really doing much else with my time, might as well add another show I’ve watched in it’s entirety to my summer.
Friday night I saw Alice in Wonderland in 3D. Paid $14 for my ticket, and I can safely say that it was worth it. The movie is not based on the book, but is more of a grown Alice returning to Wonderland once more.The animations were done really well, and even the parts that were “real life” (not 3D) were incredible. Also, the White Queen (played by Anne Hathaway) was a bit fruity, but it fit the role fairly well, it just made me think of the typical Disney Princess that’s all “la-de-da-de-da” 
And Helena Bonham Carter did a great job acting as the Red Queen, even though she’s supposed to be the “bad guy” in the movie, you feel sympathy for her during parts of the movie.
And Johnny Depp was amazing! I love that he plays a character that’s half insane, and he does it so well. Plus his makeup looks grand. 
Well, everyone’s make up looks grand in this movie. And the costumes were sweet too. The kitty was beautiful too. Overall I loved the movie. Worth the money to see it in 3D
