Interstellar- Movie Review




Interstellar movie review.

Awhile ago  I went to Ottawa and saw Interstellar, the story was amazing , it's the type of movie that you would definitely need to watch again to really understand what was going on in some parts,
Matthew McConaughey 
was able to covey so much emotion as well as Matt Damon , his character Dr.Mann was like the character Gregory in kissed by an angel first he seems like he really wants to help out out but then he goes off his rocker and tries (unsuccessfully to kill you). While watching the movie Damon's performance I definitely got angry when he tried to kill Matthew McConaughey's character Cooper in one of the scenes.
Towards the end it started to get a little fluffy and turn into the movie inception I can't say I really liked that part but it did make the movie interesting and hard to understand but needless to say I really enjoyed it and I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves space,dystopia related movies or shows as well as people who like Anne Hathaway, Matt Dameon and Matthew McConaughey.

Gas guzzlers and Corner Junkies- Corner Gas The Movie Review.

The theater was packed when I went to go see the movie last
Friday night!.

10 years ago a Canadian TV show called Corner Gas ended its last season. No one knew if the show was going to return ever again but their faithful fan's never stopped believing that the cast would return. During the summer the shows creator Brent Butt released information about the possible return of the cast but not in a show form but in a movie format.The movie was going to be hopefully created by a kickstarter campaign. Many fans of the popular TV show including my English teacher was one of the backers!. Later on it was announced that the movie will be made!.

Last Friday night I went and saw the Corner Gas Movie.  Basically the movie is about Dog River and the fact that they are flat broke thanks to Fitzy. When the residences of Dog River find out that they are flat broke they forge a plan to raise money and remake Dog River and keep it thriving. But as usual the cast gets into some funny situations especially Oscar and Karen. Throughout the movie I was laughing but at one point probably because of something one of the characters said or did i ended up laughing so hard that I ended up stomping my foot on the ground ( I think that is a great sign that a movie is good and very funny if someone ends up stomping their foot on the ground due to laughter).

 While watching the movie I couldn't but help and think of the TV show. All the actors were able to channel who they used to play on the show perfectly especially Oscar (Eric Petersen). Oscar has always been my favourite not just because he always says a certain word but because his character has such a cute and funny personality. When ever Oscar has a scene and he laughs I cannot help but burst into giggles because I find his laugh so cute!.  There were so many parts in the movie which I loved but my favourite part was the ending where Brent and Lacey kiss. When that happened I was in shock! because when the show was on I would always wish they would get together at one point or at least admit their feelings for each other!. I guess I shipped them even before the word shipped was used to describe two people who I would think should get together.

In my last blog post I talked about how this show did not have a fandom name but that has changed since watching the movie that has changed because the creator Brent Butt basically made two possible fandom names for the show. The names would be Gas Guzzlers or Corner Junkies. I think Gas Guzzlers sounds a lot cooler than Corner Junkies.

In conclusion this movie was worth seeing because we finally got to see the cast again as well as the funny things that happen to them as well as the  moment where Bracy ( Brent and Lacey ) finally kiss    even if it was not for the first time as well as  Emma's reaction it was amazing because in that moment she described a shipper's reaction to when their ship finally gets together!. If you missed out on seeing the movie in theatres be sure to check out CTV on December 17th 2014 because they will be showing the movie then but I do not know what time!.

It's Been A Gas

Corner Gas

Corner Gas is a Canadian comedy show that follows a fictioanl town called Dog River in Saskatchewan ,Canada. The series follows the town's residances and the comediac situations that arise in their lives. The show started in 2004 and ended in 2009, each season ended up turing out great in relation to how mamy people tuned in to it when it first premired back in 2004, since starting; the show has had a large following. Even though the show was very popular and still is popualar today there is not really a fandom assosiated with the show because the term fandom is still relativly new, I believe at some point that the show will hit a fandom terms. This show has to be one of my favourites because the characters are really funny and can make a bad day become good by just watching one episode or 10, also they have had a few famous canadians apperar on the show like PM Stephen Harper and candian singer Micheal Bublè which makes this show even more cooler because not many shows get their PM to guest star on the show. Besides the fact that there have been famous Canadians; this show was well done and you wouldn't even know that it was made in Canada in terms of the quality, normally you can tell if a show is American or Canadian by the acting and quailty of the actors and the shooting format. The thing I liked best about this show was that the characters didn't seem like they were acting and they were all pretty believable. Hank, Wanda and Oscar are my three favourtite characters because they interact really well and funny things always happen to them. Corner Gas gas had many entertaing episodes some of them would include; Buzz Driver , Get the F off my lawn , TV Free Dog River and many more. Even though this show doesn't have an official fandom name it does have a huge following which is still amazing. I would recommend this show to anyone who likes to have a good laugh.
