I should do more on this blog

Hey hey hey, Itsa me blixigboy. Life has been really boring. What's to talk about. The economy is trash. Illegal immigrants are taking are jobs every day. gas prices are through the roof. yes there is nothing to talk about. Today I saw the movie "Deception " starring Hugh Jackman,Ewan Macgregor, and Michelle Williams. I'm not really big on reviewing movies because I don't feel comfortable sometimes critizinig peoples work. But I can review something for once. Not really a review because I don't really consider myself a reviewer. More like an opinion.

BUT JUST TO WARN YOU THE PARAGRAPH BELOW CONTAINS SPOILERS. So to read my opinion read the paragraph below that.


The movie is basically about this guy that is played by the name of Jonathon Mcquarry. It seems to be that Jonathon Mcquarry (ewan macgregor) seems to feel alone when It comes to love, this is apperant at the beginning of the movie when he see's the guy and the girl janitor go inside of the bathroom smiling and... he's sitting there working and then Wyatt bowes (Hugh Jackman).they start and then they eventually become close friends. Wyatt and Jonathan get to know each other and then I forget how it happend but he gave him a phone. He soon finds out that the phone is to meet beautiful woman and to go to hotels to have sex with them. Now before he started having sex with all of these woman, he had met a woman on a subway train by the name of "S" (Michelle Williams). He talked to her a little and they seemed to hit it off well. She walked of the subway train and he regreted not going after her and trying to make something of there encounter. But then he meets up with "S" again on the "special" phone. It is then that Jonathon wants to have a close relationship with S. It is then when one night that In a hotel in Chinatown that he is attacked in his hotel room. He wakes up to find that the woman of his dreams is gone and his he soon finds out that his "friend" is a conman names Jamie Getz. Getz says that he is to help him get over 20 million dollars or the love of Jonathon's life (S) will be murdered. He proves this by a woman he had sex with at a hotel at the beginning of the movie. He then helps get the money for getz by briefly joining a company and giving him passwords to some accounts to wire the money to a bank account in Spain. after wiring the money to the accounts then heads back to his apartment but to find that in a picture that getz showed him of S being held hostage that he sent him that they used Jonathon's apartment, not some random room far away.He catches on to what happens.The apartment explodes by a gas leak that was made by getz. then follows getz and S to spain. Getz cant get the money with out the co-signer which is mcquarry. They set up a deal where Getz splits the money at the bank with Mcquarry with the money and the leave with there share. Mcquarry wants to make another deal with getz and want to know were S is. But getz being the lowlife that he is, he decides to kill mcquarry to get the rest of the money, but S being the moraly correct person that she is, she shoots getz to save Jonathon because all along, she was in love with him as well. At first, the ending seemed to be that they were going separate ways, but then again, they meet up and then they live happily ever after.

Now for my opinion (finally)
For me, I liked the movie. It wasn't totally bad, it's just that it just didn't leave a lasting impact on me. I mean there are worse movies out there, its just that it dosent feel like an original movie or seem to be unique in any way. The best part how the movie was made was the camera angles and the fact that they have good actors in this film. I liked the mood and the feel of the movie. The lighting and the angles really brang out the emotion of the characters in the film, but then again there good actors. The reason why I didn't feel the movie was original is because this movie is very similar story wise to the 2005 movie Derailed Starring Clive Owen,Jennifer Aniston,RZA,and Vincent Cassel(the french thief from Ocean's Twelve and Thirteen). The movie is very similar by way of the fact of that there about a guy who is attracted to some random he found on the street and she turns out to be scamming him or she is working with some douchebag that shes doing to screw him over for money. And the fact that they both go to hotels somewere to sleep with each other and while at the hotel were they gets attacked and were made to believe that the woman they slept with was harmed in some way. I mean the story lines are somewhat different, like Ewan's character is a lonely businessman who lives by himself in an apartment but has this phone where he can meet beautiful woman he sleeps with, while Clive Owen's character lives in a nice house with his wife and daughter who has diabetes and is struggling with her condition and Clive is just sleeping with Jennifer Aniston. And Ewan's character doesn't have someone to watch his back like Clive Owen has RZA helping him. I mean the story lines arent identical with each other but if you watch one of the movies first and you watch the other, you would see the similarities. Between the two movies I would say that I like both movies but I would say that Derailed is better than Deception. Not saying that I dont like Deception, Its just that it Derailed feels more of a thriller and deception feels more of emotion. I guess it depends on what type of movie you like to watch.

But anyways that's all I have to say about the movie. And that is all I have to say for this post.
I'll be back this week more likely. Probably.
