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.
