3.9.12

by Brian Li on Friday, March 9, 2012

I came home legitimately thinking it was Monday. Spring Break is totally screwing around with my sense of time. Everyday feels like a weekend to a certain extent. Hm, today was really relaxing for whatever reason. I slept in quite late – didn’t actually get out of my bed until 12 p.m. even though I woke up around 10:30. Being warm under a blanket and knowing you don’t have to get up right away is definitely one of the best feelings ever.

After convincing myself to get out of bed, I brushed my teeth and went downstairs to practice piano. Oh gosh. What has my life come to? Sleeping and practicing? Seems like it… I didn’t play for too long because I had to get ready to go to work. I ran through a few numbers in The Wedding Singer in preparation for Monday’s combined vocal and dance rehearsal. I need to be spot on because I don’t want the cast to mess up their dance moves.

I enjoyed work a lot today. My current project involves some high end audio marketing, so I spent some time brainstorming on how to present our product to potential buyers. I love doing this stuff because the psychological side of me gets involved. I thought a lot about how we interpret different colors, paper weights, and even envelope sizes.

Oh, I know what I want to write about. Three of my friends came over a few days ago, and we watched Tomie: Unlimited and Legally Blonde. Yes, I do realize these two movies are in completely different genres. I just want to say Tomie: Unlimited was probably the second worst horror move I’ve ever seen. The first one was so bad, I can’t even remember the name of it. It involved a giant teddy bear killing people. OH. Death Tube. Yes! It was Death Tube. Awful movie, but it’s worth checking out to see just how bad it is. Back to Tomie… It probably had some profound philosophical meaning behind it, but I wasn’t interested enough to think about it. The acting was bad. The special effects were worse. Come on…this movie was made in 2011. It should have half decent special effects.

Star Wars in 3D

by Brian Li on Tuesday, February 21, 2012

Yeah, I went to see it earlier today. It wasn’t worth it. That is all.

P.S. I think it’s just another money making scam for George Lucas, though the man himself seems to disagree.

Movie Review: The Devil Inside

by Brian Li on Tuesday, January 10, 2012

I’m just going to say it…The Devil Inside is the second worst horror movie I have ever seen, and I have watched a lot of horror movies. I’ll try my best to leave out spoilers in this review just in case you want to experience the semi-disturbing cheesiness of this movie yourself.

A basic outline of the plot looks something like this: woman kills three people during an exorcism, woman’s daughter discovers that her mother is a murderer years later, daughter goes on an epic quest to find out more about her mother, the epic quest takes the daughter to Rome, the daughter gets involved with a few rogue priests who are interested in exorcisms, daughter meets her mother at some point and realizes she is possessed, the daughter and the priests smuggle the mother into a hospital to perform an exorcism, the demon jumps between a few other characters, movie ends suddenly with a horrible ending. Hm, I might’ve spoiled the movie, but it’s okay…everyone should spend their money on another movie instead!
