Funny People: Makes you Laugh and Pulls on the Ol' Heart Strings

A big question that this movie is asking is...How we supposed to feel about a funny guy dying?

Forever someone has giving smiles and laughter to the world then suddenly it stops. Death is usually not a funny thing but it is amazing how Judd Apatow has come up with a movie that ties comedy with death. Funny people has given the viewer a full range of emotions to work with. George Simmons (Adam Sandler) really wants to make the world laugh and not cry which is why he felt to keep his terminal disease a secret. Not only does he want to continue to keep people laughing he takes a young comedian under his wing to help him with his jokes as well as being somewhat a mentor, even though he wont admit it.


With all movies there has to be a woman, especially when it is of a character depicted by Adam sandler. This role is given to Leslie Mann as Laura, the girl George lost by making the stupid mistake of cheating on her, she is the one that got away to him. Laura, now is in a shitty mariage to a "happy ending" loving Aussie (Eric Bana, really pulling his comic weight) and finds solace in what any cheated on mother would, her children. Played by non other than Iris and Maude Apatow. when Laura learns of George's illness, she is pu through an emotional rollercoaster that really gets the audience involved and hoping for love to be found for this terminal character.


Judd did an amaziong job with the writing being so witty and funny while also create some darkness in the story. With so many great turns in the story we can't help to be attached. The whole cast really came together to give us a great story. I would definitely recommend seeing this movie. I know some have been put off but they need to understand that this isn't the traditional "piss your pants laughing" Apatow movie. He has changed the game up a bit and added a little more substance. Hopefully many of you can appreciate that!

Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince: Darker, Dramatic, and Dangerously Good!

YOU CAN JUST SENSE THE ROMANCE. This movie was really a leap from the last and in a whole other dimension than the first 4. I found that to make a great movie about betrayal you definitely need Alan Rickman. That man either is a cold harded bastard in real life or just really depressed. I don't know how he can be so serious. He definitely did a great job.

One big aspect that I really enjoyed was the effects. It was amazing...I thought the Voldemort vs Dumbledore dual in the 5th movie was good. This whole movie was full of great effects especially when they were trying to retrive the special item from Voldemort's cavern. It seems really amazing what they can do now.

Another interesting thing was that they have these seats that they were testing in the theatre I was in to go along with the movie. I did not have the pleasure of experiencing them but they seemed to give a whole new feel to the movie. I asked one of the movie goers who was in the special section with those seats and she said that it made the movie much more livelier. She said she has never been so scared during those sudden scary moments that are meant to bring on a scream.

Anyway back to the movie...Love was in the air! Now with them into the teenager phase with raging hormones, this film really dealt with the boy-girl relationships, with love triangles that include Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and a squeaky girl named Lavender Brown, or a developing relationship between Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley (Ron's Sister). With all the jealousy, love, flirting, sabotaging, and betrayal, the movie was far from uninteresting. I can't say that there was a point in that movie where I was wondering how long there was left. I was attached to the story the whole time.

One thing I didn't enjoy is that they left quite a few unanswered questions, which personally bother me because of the personal need to know everything but by leaving so many unanswered questions a lot of people feel like they get cheated from teh movie. We know there is going to be a sequel but there was no need to have such vague bits of information come up now and again. Let me tell you if they left out who the Half Blood Prince was in the movie I would be extremely pissed off.

I would definitely recommend this movie. Other than the obvious cliffhanger that keeps you addicted to the magical story like crack cocaine, I would say that its definitely worth the 10-12 dollars for teh ticket!

The Real Deal With Public Enemies

Johny Depp and Christian Bale really help make this movie tell the story of John Dillinger


While Watching this movie I was blown away by the realism that it portrayed. The movie gave a really great 1930s depression gangster feel and allowed for director Michael Mann to really portray a dramatic and compelling story of the life of John Dillinger. This depression era folk hero is portrayed extremely well by Depp in what I think is one of his best performances in a while.

Personally I found it really interesting on how Mann portrayed J Edgar Hoover. It seemed to be exactly on the money with how he would act. Also, I don't want to give Christian Bale the short stick he definitely played a strong GMAN kicking down doors and gunning down gangsters. Oh how I would have loved to have lived in that era. Full of intrigued, greed, hardship, its the exact setting in which you can define who you are.

Finally I would have to say that the movie really kept you interested the whole time. It wasn't exactly fast paced but each scene really placed each piece of the story nicely into its place. Although it was somewhat slow at times it never really made me lose interest. I can't remember the last time that I have watched a movie and haven't said that they could have done with a scene or two. Lord of the Rings Return of the King is a perfect example of that...haha....I am pretty sure if it ended half an hour earlier I would have been happy.

Anyway my final thoughts...Its a drama, with a magnifiscent feel, with an excellent cast. If you have a need for a DRAMAtic remedy then Public Enemies will feed that need!

With 'The Hangover' you won't be sick!

This experience has me wanting to be hungover, in Vegas, not remembering a thing! You have to admit sometimes the most interesting/invigorating thing you can do is freak out about what you did last night, and try to put the pieces together!

I'd say that would make a great movie but no...they went beyond that and made the movie gut busting. I'd say I haven't laughed that hard for a movie in a long time. Bradley Cooper was great he was the cool guy in the group who had a lot of the ideas, the cracks about his life were awesome and I am sure something all guys can relate too (especially the family men). Its crazy how they had the regular circle of friends for the movie, the "smart" one (Ed Helmes' character...Andy from the Office) who did some really stupid shit, marrying Heather Graham though was the smartest thing he has ever done, would be any man's dream come true. The "cool" one, Bradley Cooper's character mentioned earlier, and the "retarded" one, (Zach Galifianakis) he was so dumb because basically he was comic relief for a comic which just basically added to the laughs. I am pretty sure his character in a baby standing silent with those glasses on made me laugh.

I don't know what to say I can't think of anything bad to say about this movie, at some point I was put off but I can't remember when because they immediately recovered with an awesome laugh.

So that's what I am going to do I am going to say only positive things about it and just say that if you are feeling blue and in need of good medicine, this movie deals out the best of it and in mega quantities. So go see The Hangover for a good time!

The motions of Rom-Coms with The PROPOSAL

If you have the need to see a romantic comedy that goes through the motions every time?

The meet ... the awkward getting to know each other ... the spark ... the trouble ... the realization ... and then the end.

For the proposal, I have to say they had somewhat an original twist with Sandra Bullock being a bitch from CANADA, kinda funny putting the Canadians in such a bad light. Until...we see her sensitive side during the get to know you side and the spark. Same Ol' Sandra trying to show a character with about 10 different personalities. Ryan Reynolds on the other hand seems to be getting sucked into the Romantic side of movies, "Definitely Maybe" and now this? Buddy I know its a moneymaker but how old is Sandra Bullock 2 times your age? I thought this guy was great dealing out the best medicine...Laughs...now its seems you went from Haha to Awwww.

Lets talk setting, I wouldn't have thought it before but Alaska is beautiful! Now we know how Senator Palin's kid got pregnant its quite a romantic setting. They definitely made a great choice to set the movie out there. Who wouldn't fall in love with Sandra's Bitchy character out there.

Ok now to cut the crap, for a Romantic Comedy its definitely on the better side of the quality spectrum, with a star cast...I mean Betty White, Mary Steenburgen great additions, a good twist on the traditional Rom-Com motions, and I'd have to say a good script with some corny moments but overall i'd say funny. So...would I see it again? Possibly, wouldn't actively rent it but if I fell into it then I might watch it.

If your down feeling blue... then i'd prescribe the Proposal to give you some laughs and if your into the love stories, then you'll like it even more.

Transformers 2: Rise of the Fallen

The Saturday Morning Cartoon that "Transformed" into an Action Injection of Sci Fi Fun!

Michael Bay has done it again taking this well known kids cartoon with a large cult following and making it into an action adventure that makes the adrenaline start pumping. He wastes no time starting us off with a big fight scene where the you are dazzled with a great computer generated spectacle of transforming, exploding and robot fighting.

The Good - The movie was action packed with lots of fight scenes as well as many slow-downs where we get a good look at the action. The addition of new characters really builds up the team and we get to see some more great cars as well as motorcycles. GM added no expense for this movie, it seemed that all the good cars were GM and we saw a BAD GUY which was a beautiful Audi which was destroyed first thing?Talk about your haters!

Michael Bay really loves showing off the CGI capabilities with so many amazing spectacles especially with his fights. With all the added robots in the movie there were plenty of fights available to be amazed with. I can't get over the look of the robots actually transforming...its great!

Megan Fox in this movie was particularly foxy in this movie, it seemed as though the new generation who don't know about Baywatch are appreciating the slow motion run, and where we can all appreciate Megan's mammary glands. Not only was she beautiful but with the added explosions occurring around her, it made the movie a giant SPARK for all guys to fall in love with this beauty. After this movie we'll be seeing her on the cover of many Maxim Magazines yet again!

The Bad - The movie seemed to have wanted a lot of little cheap laughs here and there. Some were funny and appreciated by the audience, even I laughed, which is good medicine. However, I feel that they tried really hard to get some laughs; they even created two characters that seemed to be for pure comic relief. There was also a certain monster that was much larger than everyone that seemed to have two giant demolition balls where his testicles would
be?easy laugh but really not necessary.

It seems as well that Michael Bay has a fetish for mini robots, its crazy as to how much he loves incorporating those little guys into the movie. I think he has an emotional desire to have one of them as a pet. So since he can?t he over compensate his crazy fetish by adding tons of little robots everywhere.

In the story when Sam enters the college seen we of course have the competing girl who seems to be the Anti-Megan Fox. She?s sexy, flirty, and...oh wait...she's also a freakin robot. Where is this coming from? If all Decepticons could transform into a girl like that they could rule the world
easily all looking like that! Just doesn't make sense!

Verdict - I would definitely prescribe this movie to anyone who enjoys action, scifi and even the cheap chuckle here and there. Its definitely a prescription worth the 10-12 dollar movie ticket and would definitely be worth the purchase.

If your symptoms include action depravity then you'll love Transformers 2:Rise of the Fallen.
