Best sleeper of the year! LOVED this movie! Funny, witty, creative, different. Loved it! All thumbs up, take the kids too. It has references to all kinds of bad stuff, but other than a couple of guys making out, nothing too bad. This movie has a running theme. You either get it or you don’t. If you don’t, it might make for a little aggravation. If you do get it, which it is kinda of overt and in your face, it’s fun. All thumbs up, will watch it on DVD.
A while back I did a little thingy about Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt. He especially struck me as the most desperate attention seeking media whore I had ever seen in my life. It was pathetic. I predicted the sex tape would appear within two years. Oddly enough, that post was almost one year ago to this day. Wanna guess what the most meaningless headline on Foxnews is today? You got it, Heidi Montag made a sex tape. Other than being the most meaningless headline, I told you that was going to happen at least once very soon. However, the story actually took a twist. It seems this:
Apparently made her movie with this:
I can admit I had pretty much ditched the entire scenario thinking it would have been Pratt in the movie. He really just kind of disgusts me. But, Karissa Shannon? Oh, we’re talking a totally different ballgame now. And the kicker? It’s supposedly kinda old. Which means, NO G-CUPS! Heidi was smoking hot before she went all surgical on herself. Now she doesn’t look real at all. Those rock hard G-cups are the most fake things I think I have ever seen. Lesson to all wanna be reality stars, models, and anything other than porn actresses, the real things, even with their flaws, are obviously real and much more look-worthy than the others. Now, later in life, that’s a different story. But until then, stay with the real things. As hot as Heidi doing Karissa might be, I can imagine it being kind of difficult to not think it’s some CGI fantasy.
Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg? Someone thought this was a good idea. Kinda crazy given their combined line-up:
Think about that. With that they decided these two needed to make a cop flick. OK with that so far? I really am not going to go too far into this one, the plot is absolutely meaningless and at times inane. However, that’s not what this movie is about. This movie is all about Will Ferrell playing with Mark Walhberg. And, it works. Those two bounce off each other shockingly well. What works against Wahlberg in any meaningful role he’s done is no matter how hard he tries, he just comes across as a jerk. He’s not big or anything, so it’s not like he’s scary or anything, but he has that intensely pissed look all the time. Ferrell has that intensely annoyingly vacuous thing going. It’s perfect. Dangerous concept as both actors have been known to lay eggs, anyone remember Walhberg in The Happening? But, that’s forgotten so long as The Other Guys is on. This movie is funny as hell. All thumbs up. It’s a little adult for kids, but my seven year old enjoyed it for all the wrong reasons. I’d suggest leaving them at home, but I’m iffy on that. Some of the talk is crude, but there’s nothing visually that’d scar them other than two guys jumping off a building. Other than that, some crude behavior that would get them sent to the principal’s office, but not prison. On second thought, leave the kids at home unless they’ve already seen a Will Ferrell comedy.
This is a movie I liked a lot for no real good reason. Joey King should be a star. She stole that movie, which of course she was supposed to, but a lot moreso than I expected for a kid. My only disappointment was a I expected a lot more of the flights of imagination based on the trailer. What you see is what you get as far as those go. What you get a lot more than what you expect I think is a very engaging, pleasant young girl to spend an hour or so with. Sometimes that’s good enough for me. One thumb up.
I liked this one. I really did. Some movies move well from child to adult, this is not one of those. This is purely child stuff. It’s light-hearted, pleasant, fun. It’s creative, and a little witty. It builds a plot that is believable, and the characters are deeper than face value. I liked it. Two thumbs up.
Wow, talk about a busy flick. First of all, this is sorta The Matrix
In Inception, concepts are thrown at you faster than bullets in The Matrix. They just know this stuff. People completely clueless what is happening figure it out on the fly. You don’t have one level of sleep, you apparently have several. In case of emergency, you need a “kick”. Depending on just the right circumstances, if you got killed in someone else’s dream, you could die too. It just gets crazier and crazier. Of course, you’ve got a romantic sub-plot messing up the entire thing as well. Some movies jump the shark once, this one does it about every fifteen minutes. I loved the premise, but it gets taken too far. I would give a spoiler alert, but I really don’t know what I could possibly spoil. It’s just that inane, in a serious way.
Really, no thumbs up. There’s just too much easy action out there right now and the plot’s just not that compelling. There’s only one real question to debate about the movie and it’s really not one that engages me.
Got this via email from a friend. He’s not married. He does have a dog tho:
- The later you are, the more excited your dogs are to see you.
- Dogs don’t notice if you call them by another dog’s name.
- Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor.
- A dog’s family never visits.
- Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across.
- You never have to wait for a dog; they’re ready to go 24 hours a day.
- Dogs find you amusing when you’re drunk..
- Dogs like to go hunting and fishing.
- A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, “If I died, would you get another dog?”
- If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away, or even sell them.
- A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a pervert.
- If a dog smells another dog on you, they don’t get mad. They just think it’s interesting.
- Dogs like to ride in the back of a pickup truck.
And last, but not least:
If a dog leaves, it won’t take half of your stuff.
To test this theory, lock your spouse and your dog in the garage for an hour. Then open it and see who’s happy to see you.
Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft.
Today, it’s called golf.
Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.
