Grease
I've had an interesting history with this film. I planned about 2 years ago to watch this film for my aborted Netflix Romancethon project. Then, I decided to quit watching it about 30 minutes into the film. I really hated the film at the point and did not feel like continuing it... until today. Now, I appreciate the film a bit more than I saw a part of it for the first time. It still has it's problems. Absolutely. But I did enjoy it for various reasons. The music is incredibly catchy and while John Travolta isn't the greatest of singers, I got used to his voice to enjoy the music. With some classic songs like "Grease", "Summer Nights", and "You're The One That I Want", how could you not make it an enjoyable musical. Also, there were certainly some great musical sequences that featured awesome choreography and some incredible cinematic shots. That being said the story is nothing to write home about. I didn't found any of the characters that memorable or interesting and I didn't really care about the main relationship between Danny and Sandy. Despite my love for "You're The One That I Want", I really didn't like Sandy's transformation as I didn't like the sudden drastic change without any proper foreshadowing to it. Overall, this was a very mixed experience but I'm glad I got the chance to see it at least once. The music, the dancing, and some of the directing is really awesome but everything else is not as interesting.

“Since it is a huge cult-classic, I was really curious to check this flick. Unfortunately, I thought it was pretty bad. Ok, I'm maybe too harsh on this”

Zoolander
This is a stupid movie about really stupid people. I remember watching a snippet of the film's beginning when I was really young. But what really got me into seeing this film was watching some funny moments compilations of this film on Youtube. That got me interested in seeing this film but it wasn't initially available on Netflix for me. But when it finally did appear, I decided to check it out. I will say I don't find it a particularly amazing film or that hilarious but it did give me some chuckles. I will admit the plot was inane but still very enjoyable. I didn't really find Will Ferrell that funny, honestly, but I was surprised by how funny I found Ben Stiller's and Owen Wilson's performances as borderline mentally-challenged models. So yeah, at this time, I'd just say watch some clips of it on Youtube. If you found them funny, check out the film. If not, stay far far away from this movie.

Video Games: The Movie
Been a while since I saw a documentary on Netflix and since I'm a bit of a gamer, I was definitely interested in giving this a watch. I felt this film did a really great job of presenting video games as a valid medium of artistic expression. It goes over the history of video games's creations, along with showing how their development has influeneced the lives of many. It is fascinated how far video games have grown in such a short time. Some of the earliest innovators of video games were still alive and able to interviewed for this film. Aside from these video game legends and developers, this film also features interviews from geek icons and actors expressing their history with and admiration of video games. This film overall has a great presentation of video games's history and importance to today's society. That being said, there are certain moments where it can feel repetitive and can get a tad boring sometimes. But overall, I'm glad I go to see this film as it gave me an even deeper appreciation for this lovable medium. And as this movie shows... video games are only going to get better and better from here.
