Prometheus | Snowhite and the Huntsman | My Week with Marilyn | Life of Pi

I should just make this a movie blog now, no? No. But how many movie reviews do I put & how many movies do I watch.. Anyways, I saw Prometheus (8/10) today in advance screening. The heavily awaited Ridley Scott supposed prequel to Alien is very good. The movie is shot in 3D & looks awesome. It's scary too, one scene of a creature eating some creature actually made me crawl & jump. The idea of finding your creator is interesting. But who created them & who created them & who.. And if someone was not created but was just there, why not us.. That's not what movie talks about but very interesting movie & well shot, good performances & everything. Also, go well before time & do not miss the trailer of Life of Pi, which is actually a scene from the movie. An Indian boy stuck on a life boat with a Bengal tiger and suddenly flying fishes start bursting from all over. Funny & fun scene with very good visuals. Looking forward to the movie..
Snowhite & Huntsman (5/10) could've been a good movie, but it is not. It just tries too hard to be a great movie with un-required scenes, un-convincing performances, un-understandable dialogues. Why show this BIG SFX/VFX scene of horned deer etc to show she's special when mirror already told that & we know, everyone knows she's special. Why she comes back to life after kiss from huntsman but not William who seemed more like the love interest. The last scene with her getting crowned is so unconvincing too, like most of the film. Also watched My Week With Marilyn (7/10) from Netflix, good movie. Not much of a story but good performances & well done. So I have watched lots of movies & we have hod lot of cold-ish rainy weather here in NYC. Although its been clearer & warmer since yesterday. I am working out too, back in Crunch Gym., 70+ mins of non-stop work out, pretty good. BTW, why do they name all these workout classes so ridiculously. Cant just call what it is, like ab class, full body workout, spinning or whatever. Whats the deal with all this fancy names. That's it for now, have a great weekend!!
