What Happened to Monday? #TheToiBoxOfWords #film #review

moviereview

I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t been watching much TV or movies lately, and I definitely haven’t had time to prepare any videos. I don’t even really have time to post this, but here I go. In lieu of an actual review, I’m simply sharing the line-by-line notes I usually link to. These are the thoughts that pass through my mind as I’m watching a movie. They don’t always make sense, but are always entertaining. They shouldn’t have any spoilers either.

So here are my thoughts.

Excited to see the actress from the original “Girl with the Dragon tattoo” movie.

Dull intro credits.

Climate change, overpopulation, genetically modified crops, mutated babies.

Child Allocation Act.

Ah, Glen Close.

Love Willem Defoe. Great when he’s great. Awesomely bad when he’s bad.

Sunday- smart business look, seems sweet. It begins.

Nothing like ripping a child from a mother’s hand.

The doorman is on to them

Saturday looks like trouble.

Thursday goes first.

Nope, I was wrong. Thursday is the troublemaker, but sometimes that’s good.

What happens to one happens to them all… That’s sad.

Monday is the brave one.

Monday- the big day.

She’s short and he’s tall.

Monday is off the grid.

Friday is the smart one.

Tuesday- two outside at once.

Jerry is more than just a d*ck.

The flirtatious guard; a possible ally.

No need to kill the only other black person in the movie. Cliché. Bad writing.

These chicks are scrappy.

Wednesday- no need to pretend anymore.

Wednesday is cool, a little jumpy, but cool.

I really like Wednesday right now.

That was freak’n awesome!

She’d totally be dead or paralyzed.

There’s always a ghetto. Fight the power.

Thursday is not what she seems. I like her more now.

Dang.

The guard was seeing Monday?

I could do without this scene. It’s not vital to the story. Just fulfills some people’s need for nudity.

Thursday- three left; Monday is alive?

Yep, Monday.

Well, at least Saturday got in one good adventure.

Turns out, Friday was the sweet one.

He really cares about Monday.

Of course, the plan was a lie. At least it’s not soylent green.

Monday is not what she seems either.

Two of them in one big ballroom! 😀

That’s messed up.

Gonna check it out?

3 clues to guess my June ‘15 movie: A Mock Squid Soup Teaser #cinephiles #film #review

movieclue

So here I am again to torture you all with my bad clue giving skills. I don’t want it to be too easy for you to guess, but I want it to be easier than last time. Let’s see if I can get a handle on this and give some good clues.

Clue #1– This is an award-winning French film that, like so many others, did not do well in U.S. box offices, but has since built up a cult following.

Clue #2– The story is a dark tale of the future that cleverly ties into the fictional past of (the year of the film’s release) 2006 to help explain the mystery that’s being solved in the movie.

Clue #3– This is a black and white film of a different caliber, with some well-known actors lending their talents to this relatively low-budget (for its type) film that has an awesome tagline: Paris 2054. Live forever or die trying.

Do you think you know what my movie is?
I am I still making this way too hard?

I can’t wait to see everyone else’s clues. I hope I guess some right. I’m so looking forward to the actual reviews that will be posted next week. I’m glad we decided to do this again.
