127 Hours

As per the requests of everyone I have decided to do 127 hours.

Now, this movie has everything, its got James Franko, its got scooby doo, its prety much awesome. so awesome it made my friend faint.

id also like to mention that in addition to being a little tipsy that i watch this movie like 3 months ago when it was still in limited release and am going from memory.

The movie it self is one of the best of the year. It it the story of this hiker that gets his hand stuck under a rock and it stuck there until he can free it, by which i mean a removes his arm. Its based on a book "between a rock and a hard place" which is a true story. and that is a my first problem, who titles a book that, seriously, even if its totally accurate, the first thing they teach you in school is to avoid puns. but no, he takes it literally.

As for the actual movie, it does a good job of not only keeping you interested even though the main character is stuck in one place for 90% of the movie. he goes through some psychosis. God I love spell check. and starts to hallucinate things. like this stuff Scooby Doo that i don't remember when he saw. he also envisions rain at about the same time he runs out of water and has to Bear Grillis it and drink his piss. or his premition about the future. It also does a good job of keeping you interested in when hes going to lose his arm, idk if you saw hot tub time machine but its kind alike that with the bell hop losing is arm too. You know its coming you just know know when. And when he does it he does it like a bitch, seriously he cuts through his arm down to the bone then drops his weight on it to snap the bone. He could have saved himself a lot of pain and jerked it hard in to direction of break it like that.

I digress though, I wont spoil that hand down funnies part of the movie involving the two girls he meets in the first like 10minutes of the movies. sufice to say you should see it, unless your faint of heart. It is one of the best movies of the year.

Also i need suggestions for the next review, unless you want me to do The fifth Element, because I will, I have a whole slew of Bruce Willis blu-rays.
