"The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly"

Finding someone that matters.

“When you find her, I want to meet her ok?”, she asked. “No, you can’t”, I replied. The truth is, you can’t because you are that person. She makes me happy, the happiest I’ve been in such a long, long time. And this isn’t the happiness you feel when you open a present on Christmas morning or when you get your first car. This is the truest and purest form of happiness. I told her she has a big heart. I don’t think she fully understood the weight of that statement, because it is for that very reason that I feel so strongly for her. And it’s the most genuine reason to ever feel this way about anyone. But unlike a good friend of mine who finds himself in a very similar situation, I’m NOT fine with being just friends. I can’t settle for that. And I feel like I’m doomed because of it.

"I said… uh… Spider-man, I said uh… The great thing about MJ is… when you look in her eyes and she’s looking back in yours… everything… feels… not quite normal. Because you feel stronger and weaker at the same time. You feel excited and at the same time, terrified. The truth is… you don’t know what you feel except you know what kind of man you want to be. It’s as if you’ve reached the unreachable and you weren’t ready for it."

“Can you live without her?” 

I loved this scene in End of Watch.

Finding it extremely hard to not think about her right now, because all I literally want at this very moment is to be with her.

As expected, this film was INTENSE. From beginning to end I was absolutely engrossed. Comparing this to the first film, I can say that this one takes the cake. And this is for two reasons: the villain actually mattered (I felt nothing for that revenge-driven miner in the first film) and the dynamic between Spock and Kirk was much more heartfelt than their dysfunction in the first film. The scene where Kirk dies right before Spock was absolutely amazing. It was emotionally riveting seeing Spock’s human side finally break through, how he was unable to hold his emotion back at the sight of his Captain friend dying. This film was all about sacrifices. What would you do to save the people you care for the most? Khan was willing to kill everyone in his path to regain his crew, Spock was ready to kill Khan to avenge his fallen friend, and Kirk was ready to make the ultimate sacrifice to save his crew. The dynamic between Kirk and Spock was fantastic, exemplifying that friendship will always be greater than the rules that Spock is so hard-wired to follow. It can be well argued that had Kirk truly died, the film would have had a much greater impact. Had this been the end to the revamped Star Trek film series, then absolutely yes he should have stayed dead. But seeing as how a third film is rumored, it only makes sense that he lives. Other than that the only other gripe I have about this film is the absolute uselessness of Carol Marcus. Other than saving Bones, she could have been completely omitted from this film. But that’s nit-picking in the bigger scheme of things. This film was action-packed, filled with Spock’s “logical and extremely literal” comic relief, and emotionally riveting friendship. Definitely worth the watch.  9/10

How would my life be different had I gone to this school of engineering instead?

I can’t shake the feeling that maybe, just maybe…… I’ve finally found her. And it’s so hard to think otherwise when she has such a big heart.

Before I start this review let me state that this is not a review on the story of The Great Gatsby. This is a review on how well the film captures the essence of the novel, and how well it strays away from it to develop a personality of its own. And to that respect I would say this film is neither better nor worse than the novel itself. As I had feared from watching the previews, Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby takes itself a little to lightly. I can understand the direction he was taking when choosing to use such a musical approach, trying to capture the tone of the  ”Roarin’ Twenties,” but at times it felt like it undermined the darkness of the story at hand. This story after all is a tragedy in so many respects, whether from the view of  Daisy, Nick, or of course Gatsby. Where it did work well was when it was used to portray Gatsby’s extravagant parties. I am sure I will get flamed for saying this but I feel like the soundtrack was inappropriate. In my opinion, choosing to blend modern music with a not so modern settings  just takes away from the authenticity of the 20s. If any of you has ever seen an episode of Mad Men or actually watch it, you will understand what I am talking about. Then again a completely genuine portrayal of the 20s might not have been the goal here. It is important to note that Luhrmann did follow the novel almost exactly. It was a particularly nice touch to narrate, verbatim I might add, the beginning passage and last line of the book. Where the film does fail to capture what was in the novel was the ending, where the absolute ignorance of New York’s high-class was so disgustingly felt. Daisy Buchanan is the epitome of heartless bitch. Tom Buchanan is a hypocritical bastard. And yet throughout the film I never found myself hating them as I did when I read the novel. Overall however, the film was an enjoyable watch. I found that the awkwardness portrayed when Gatsby meets Daisy for the first time in 5 years a very nice step away from the novel. Is it worth it to watch at least once? Yes. The film does a great job illustrating the novel; it is undoubtedly The Great Gatsby. It also surely helps that the cast was well selected. Yet I left the theater expecting just a bit more.  6.5/10
