Whip It

Ok, so I'm not the greatest person when it comes to seeing the latest movies, but I feel Whip It should have its own page. I found, that though Ellen Page looked different, she basically acted the same like in all of her movies. I mean, ALL OF THEM. And I love Kristen Wiig, I honestly do, but I wanted to cry when I saw her acting performance; it was so.. normal. Not the Kristen Wiig I know, the funny sketches from SNL, nothing. Oh, and the only spot of un-Ellen Page-y-ness, was that she told a blue haired lady she liked her hair. I swear to god, it was a mess; the stupid indie rock stuff that only a nerdy teenage girl would love. The "Indie" lost its independence in 2009. So, soooo sad.

However, I really liked Drew Barrymore's performance, Ciara's, and Jimmy Fallon's. Oh, and Marcia Gay Harden. Haha, gay... Sorry, off track. But they didn't get lost in the indie rock mess. And the whole Roller Derby thing was good, too.

A half-star flick.

Finally, The Moment of Truth

Ok, I've finally decided to make this blog specifically one about movie & TV specials. So first, The Pregnancy Pact. It sucked. Badly. It was a sad, sad thing. Here's a picture..

Its a complete spoof, but I love this picture, still. So the movie is about these girls who are total idiots who try to get pregnant at the same time and its based on the myth of the Pregnancy "Pact" during the teenage pregnancy epidemic in 2008. They follow this retarded redhead who is all "Omigod I'm gonna marry my boyfriend and we're gonna live in the town I grew up in, and I love Mom and Dad and God." No, nothing against any of those things, but man is she stupid or what? So then she tries to keep her boyfriend by lying to him about the promise to get pregnant along with her friends (that's the myth) and when he finds out, he dumps her, and she's all sad. And still pregnant.

Overall, the acting was awful. Ok, I'm not an actress, but I know bad acting. Seriously. I'm not even sure why I wasted my time watching it. I mean, its a Lifetime Special. LIFETIME FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!! Like the senior citizen people and their CSI programs, as my Gram would call it. Minnesotans have their lingo, certainly..
