After the consistent failed attempts of Johnny Depp outside the Pirates franchise, I have come not to expect much from the movies of the actor. Right now, I'm willing to hope that this is an exception. The movie looks like something I would consider watching, and with its comic tone, I would expect the actor to be a bit loose, like Jack Sparrow-loose. He's still a bit stiff here, but who knows, maybe it will work.
Blind Spot: Pulp Fiction
As I sit here and try to rummage through my mind for words, I come up with none. Not because there's nothing to say, but rather, every word seems to be swirling around that I risk writing an incoherent review about it. Nonetheless, I was very impressed with Pulp Fiction, and how a film like this could still be impressive years after its release. If I didn't know this was released back in 1994, I would have thought that it was released recently. Maybe it's because the writing style of Tarantino could still be applied today, that it still moves with the time. Besides the iconic scenes, it was the script, and the manner the film is presented, that makes it all worth while to see.
Guilty Pleasure Movies Blogathon
Jenna and Allie of Flick Chicks are hosting their first blogathon! Before anything else, here are the rules:
1 - You can choose and discuss as many or as few movies as you like. We both did a Top 10, but you can just choose 1 movie if you like. Just tell us a bit about the movie and why you like it so much.
2 - Please create a new post for our Blogathon, rather than linking an old post you may have already done.
3 - Please include our Blogathon Banner anywhere in your post
4 - The deadline for entries is Sunday, 31st August, so there's plenty of time!
It took me a long time to finish my list because I honestly didn't know where to start.
It took me a long time to finish my list because I didn't know where to start. I think I've pulled out five movies that basically comprises the general tone of my personal guilty pleasure movies.

Thursday Movie Picks: Time Travel Movies
I first read about the meme through Dell on Movies, and I've been meaning to join it for quite some time! It's hosted by Wandering through the Shelves, another blog that I'm recently frequenting. Each week there's a theme, where you get to pick three movies surrounding said theme. For this week, it's about time travel. The first movie I initially thought of was Back to the Future (it seems like the predominant choice when it comes to time travel movies), so I decided not to use it for my list. Below are three of my picks for this week's theme!
Wes Anderson: Ranked
Trailer: Horns
Daniel Radcliffe has been getting some interesting roles. He doesn't tend to stick to one genre, but really explores his options. I haven't seen much of his work post-Potter, but this one looks so intriguing that I just might see it. Plus it also stars Juno Temple, who I think is one of the underrated actresses working in the industry. I just hope the film is as captivating as the trailer makes it appear to be.
Batman Begins
Olympus Has Fallen
Trailer: Laggies
Keira Knightley strikes again! I wasn't a fan of her participation in Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, but she completely blew me away in Begin Again. Now I hope that Laggies is equally charming, if not quirky. I'm definitely a fan of Knightley's work, and I'm a big fan of Sam Rockwell as well - the man doesn't get the recognition he deserves, but he's been putting in good work. The trailer doesn't really do much, but the presence of Knightley and Rockwell are enough for me to see this movie.
Batman Forever
So, after spanning two decent Batman movies, the franchise took a turn when the torch was handed over to Joel Schumacher, whose rendition of the masked crusader has got to be the worst installments I have seen. In a few words: it was messy, sloppy, and outrageous. How this garnered a sequel from the same director, I would never know.
Trailer: Exodus: Of Gods and Kings
Why is Christian Bale the only decent-looking person here (read: what is with Joel Edgerton's eye make up)? Regardless of that, this looks like a big epic film. The recent Ridley Scott film I saw was Prometheus (haven't caught up with The Counselor yet), and while that was visually stunning, I hope this has more content. The account itself of Moses has a lot of potential to become quite an epic film, so I really hope this delivers. The studio seems to have a lot of faith in this one (as it didn't quite battle out Noah in terms of release), but I might just catch it when it comes on DVD.
Bad Teacher
Being a teacher takes a lot of responsibility. Parents expect teachers to educate their children in matters that they themselves cannot teach. Teachers are society's hope in molding children to become better members of society. We are expected to learn from them, and it is through teachings that we are able to find our strengths and weaknesses as students. But what if your teacher was Elizabeth Halsey?
