Movie Review: Hugo

 Hugo: (Paramount)

"Set in 1930s Paris, an orphan who lives in the walls of a train station 

is wrapped up in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton."

I watched Hugo the other night for the first time.
I have to say I really enjoyed it.
It got a little cheesy and too perfect for my taste at the end, but the overall idea I thought was cute.
That Automaton was CREEPY. I kept expecting it to like, come alive and kill someone...
XD
The actors were well-picked... and the storyline overall was pretty consistent... a bit predictable, but enjoyable nonetheless. ^^

I adore the dedication he (Hugo; Asa Butterfield) had to his father's (Jude Law) aspirations. The project that they were working on together;the Automaton, and the notebook were the last things he had of his father... well, those and the workings of clocks.
Movies that involve orphans or mistreated children break my heart. Any type of broken family hits me really hard, because I couldn't imagine not having and/or losing my family. They are very dear to me.

Overall, I would give it a rating on my personal scale of a 7/10. Purely for personal reasons. ^^

Things To Get Done:

Well, I had a nice relaxing day of not doing anything productive at all...
I guess I can't say that; I showered and I washed dishes. ^^ And I am going to do laundry later this evening [currently 10:39 PM].
I watched The Lorax online... I have to say, I really enjoyed it, even though the only videos I could find online were really bad quality. BUT... once I started, I didn't want to stop, y'know? So, I got through the whole thing... and it was cute. ^^ I loved it.
AND THE ONCE-LER.

I like him when he was getting rich... like, when he was a bad guy. (He reminds me of the Riddler from batman... I think it's the attire.)
I also cannot stop listening to the the song How Bad Can I Be? from the sound track. It's just... I don't know! I really like that scene from the movie, so maybe that's why I like the song. XD The soundtrack was a lot of fun... I really enjoyed the entire thing.
Overall, it was a good movie. ^^
[p.s. Biggering is a good song too... it wasn't in the original soundtrack... JUST... GO WATCH THE MOVIE AND DOWNLOAD THE ENTIRE SOUNDTRACK XD)
What movie I really can't wait for is Brave... I have a feeling like it's going to be one of my favorite movies (based solely on previews).

[He is so precious to me~]

But, on to the purpose of this post;

Writing a list of things I need to get done:

1. Illustration Project: Priority 2.
               Initial sketches/poses ~ Collaborative first draft ~ Practice final draft [in ink] ~ Trace onto    
                         water colour paper ~ ink wash and pen final

[Due: 2:00 PM Wednesday 4 April 2012]

2. Twentieth Century Art and Architecture Test: Priority 1
              Check email to see if professor has replied yet ~ Collect extensive pile of notes ~ Read        
                        coordinated chapters/notes/slides ~ Use Kelley's notes to filter through notes ~ Read
                        modified notes ~ KEEP READING EVERYTHING UNTIL YOU MEMORIZE
                        EVERYTHING

[Due: Unknown; Tuesday]

3. Math Test: Priority 3

             Figure out which chapters the test is on ~ Read chapters ~ Download emails from professor ~    
                        Write out how to do problems in notebook ~ Copy table from book

[Due 7:00 PM Wednesday 4 April 2012; potentially]

....why I didn't just write those in order of 'priority', I will never know...
Anywho~ I am wondering if I should start tonight... I SHOULD... gah. But I don't want to... -.-
I want to watch a movie, honestly.
I'll work on #2, the test... because I was supposed to take it today... but I didn't.

Yeah... and then I will watch a movie as a reward... I'll just have to come up with one. ^^ I have a list that I can pick from.

Farewell! [For now!]

2:24 AM:
Yeah... I switched everything around... I didn't make up my test for TCA&A... I photocopied my text book for Math, and I ended up making my final project for Illustration out of graphite and charcoal.
But, now I am moving on to the next step in everything I need to get done. A new list; a new day. That's how it seems to go. ^^
