Over break I traveled to Seattle to have Thanksgiving with my family. I was there all week and spent alot of my free time in my cousins' home theater. My cousins and I watched alot of the old Bond movies and then one night we decided to throw in There Will Be Blood. None of my cousins had seen it and we all assumed since it had won a bunch of oscars it would be a good film......but we were far from the truth. We all sat there with our popcorn saying it was a slow start and that at any moment the killing and action scenes would start. We waited and waited and waited, and after two and a half hours we said that watching this movie was the biggest waste of time ever. Now, I rarley call a movie bad and I can't remeber the last time I saw a movie where I said that it was horrible. I can usually pick out something good about a movie, but when it comes to There Will Be Blood I can't. There was no specific plot and all the scenes were all unecessarily long. I don't know how this film won all the awards it did but I only can think of one award it deserves, worst movie I've seen thus far in my life.
On the other side of the spectrum I saw a good movie over break, the Disney movie Bolt. On another slow day at my cousins' house all of the relatives went to see Bolt. This movie was very funny and I think has the potential of being as big as The Lion King. The main character, Bolt, travels across the country to save his owner. Although Bolt is funny the hamster steals the show. The hamster made me laugh every time he was in a scene and the ball he rolls around in adds entertainment. This is a movie you should definatly see and it is a million times better than There Will be Blood.
