Critics Corner - For those who rather rent the DVD

Step Brothers



2008

Rated R

Comedy

ok.....Screw the Critics....I actually doubted seeing this....I am glad I did....This movie was laugh out loud funny..There's no need for me to talk about the story line, or what to expect, because you already know....(unless you live under a rock)
Let me name some highlights....**SPOILERS**

Teabagging a drumset
Interviewing as a tag team
Fighting before they fall asleep
Banging your "Sister-in-Law"
Interrupting the holiday meal
Making a lude rap video

It doesnt stop...I could go on...but I won't...Id Rather you experience this for yourself.
This movie get's a Solid B++ with a side of ruptured spleen.

Wanted



2008

Rated R

Action


Ok...So, if you feel yourself drifting to sleep...pop this one in...Its sure to wake yo ass up!!! You can also rent this if you are the geek who aways gets picked on, likes too see the little guy fight back, enjoys a good movie with angelina jolie bleeding, or just wants to see some Shi* get shot up.....Wanted is an action packed, shoot the flys off a wing mama jamma. Watch the nobody become the somebody and start shooting at folks like it's yesterdays news. Follow the path, walk the path, be the path....whatever....Just kick everyone's ass while you are doing it...This is like taking 1 cup of shot gun shells, posting a video camera in proper position, throwing the shells in a blender, and recording the results....After that, get your video camera, and watch the whole thing in slow motion....This movie gets a B+ with a side of anxiety medication.

Southland Tales



2007

Rated R

Sci-Fi

Ok....Do you have 2 hours to kill? Dont know what to do with it? Feel like completely wasting it? Then you should watch this movie....instead of giving any kind of over view, let me tell you what you will see in this one.....
You will see the Rock, with a nervous twitch that is more then annoying...Sarah Michelle Gheller ...Mrs Cock Chugger herself. You will also see some Republicans trying to own the internet and take away any chance of having civil liberties...BTW, Texas had a nuclear strike, and WW3 was underway....Dont forget The whiley Justin Timberlake with PTSD watching everyone though the scope on his big gun....Oh and theres the DeepThroat 2, who is a freedom fighter, looking for the revolution of Socialism, from Richard Marx...And theres also the IDENT, which is the now Owned Gov internet.....and theres an alternative energy source....and dont forget the Freaky Japanese girl who cant breath without her lil cigarette.....Dont forget Shawn william scott is in this movie, with his double, aka, his twin, aka the 2 who are most likely to crumble the 4th dimension....Have I made any sense? If so...then this movie is for you....If not....then your just like me....I spent 15 minutes trying to analyze the information I had seen, and then I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how the movie was made, and I spent 20 minutes trying to figure out other things I could have done with my time, I also spent 5 minutes of thinking outloud...WTF...yep....it was That Good......This movie gets a D+ with a big side dish of confusion..

88 Minutes



2008

R

Darama/Thriller


Ok....so, this is a drama/thriller, minus most of the drama and thrill...Al Pacino does a good job, but the script does not...Its like a really cool idea that never became cool..This is supposed to be a mind bender, and while it does make you think, trying to find out who the killer is, it doesnt leave you much else....Pacino looks scatter brained, and his supporting cast looks less then supporting...He gets a phone call and  someone tells him he has 88 minutes to live. Its his job as a forensic therapist to figure out who the killer is and how/why....He runs around from location to location, and looks for clues, hints, or suggestions....unfortunately, the director was lacking a clear purpose and idea of his own...You wont want to kill yourself at the end of the movie or anything dramatic, but you might feel like you were eating ice cream and it melted before you were able to finish it....Dont rent it...wait for it to be on HBO or something......This movie gets a C- with a side of who dun it....

Get Smart


2008

PG 13

Comedy


Ok...So, I was hesitant about this one...Just not sure if I would enjoy it...but on a Friday night, there was nothing else to choose from..I was surprisingly impressed with this...Steve Carrel pulled off a Leslie Nielson type performance better then Leslie himself...He's an over analytical agent who doesn't know his flamethrower from his scissors. Think, Jason Bourne meets Mr Bean. Watch as he shoots himself, tranquilizes himself, confuses himself, and befriends a giant. All in a days work of being a secret agent man....There's a story line, but, ya know, it doesnt matter and its typical...This flick was a gaffe fest of bloopers and irony....Check it out...I doubt you'll be disappointed....This one gets a solid B with a side of hidden entrances...




PS3

Shutter



2008

Rated R

Horror

Ok...so, um....Yea....Im sure there was something else on TV I could have watched. Is it the worst movie I have ever watched? Nope....Is it the Best? HAHAHAHAHAHA....If you somehow end up with this movie on your TV, fast forward to the last 20 minutes....Ironically, the best part of this overblown flick...Im pretty sure everything in this film has been done before, and done better. If your curious....This is a "Scary" movie about some people who did some bad things (surprise) and then then haunt begins....kinda...and there's a few attempts at creepy pictures, and images....but..well, you get the point....This movie gets a Pitiful C- with an overpriced camera that has a broken flash on the side....

You Don't Mess with the Zohan



2008

Rated R

Comedy

Ok...So this Movie....This is good, Yes? If you enjoy yourself an adam sandler flick....Try this one.
I doubt much youll be dissapointed...The Zohan will teach you a many good things...Thing Number 1? He will teach you to talk with an accent that's both insulting and comical at the same time. Not bad, yes?
He will also teach you the art of Disco, because apparently everyone in the middle east is stuck in 1975 and still doing the Boogie woogie shuffle...Then, you will learn to use your Schnitzel on the Poontachi...Not a bad lesson plan for one comical movie...Is the movie absurd? Is the movie outlandishly silly? Is my President a black man? Exactly.
From terrorist to Hair Stylist, this movie has a moral, a story (somewhat) a giant jock strap and loads of laughter...no pun intended....Pop it in, grab the cat and play some World Wide Hacky Sack. This movie gets a Solid B+ with a side of hidden artillery in the Arabian electronic Store..

Forgetting Sarah Marshall


2008

comedy

R

KO.....as in knock you ass out off the damn couch, chair, floor, whatever the hell you sitting on. Holy bejessus batman....This joint is a head busta! Turn your cheeks inside out and what not...outside of this dude being naked WAY too often in the movie, it's a killa. Ol' Boy gets dumped by his Tv Star girlfriend and loses his mind in how to deal with it... He tries to cope by have one night stands, living like a hobo, and crying the tear ductsa out his sockets....Nothing works...So take a trip to Hawaii, and oops....Yea...thats when the fun begins...I cant even tell you about this flick. If your like me, at first, you will hate Sarah Marshalls new Worldy singer BF, but at the end of the movie, he will be your new BFF...OMG, STFU.
He's dripping with comic juice, and you dont need a strong pallette to handle it.
This is a comic wonderland of comebacks, insults, and phrases you will walk away wondering why the hell you dont say these things more often.
Its a nonstop verbal assault on your appendix. And, with that statement, I have clearly proven my lack of knowledge on the Human anatomy...Screw it, doesnt matter, because im still LMAO......
Watch this, heck, you can just cop it...aka..Buy it...We have a black president, you can use slang in public now...hahahaha...
This movie gets an A+ with a breakfast drink that has Rum and Pineapple on the side.

Madagascar 2





2008

Comedy

PG

Ok, so....This is the ever awaited return of the Comedy involving animated zoo animals who ended up back in the wild...Is it me, or did the Penguins steal the show in this one?
I suppose the Spot Light needs to rotate, where as the Zebra held it mercifully last time.
In this one, our animal friends find themselves on the plane sturdily rebuilt by the penguins, only to crash land into Africa....Thats a spoiler if you somehow didnt know thats the story of this movie...so, um...my bad.
Dare I say this one wasnt as funny as the first. Dont get me wrong, its still worth a crackalackin ticket or rental, but IDk....it was missing something....I think the music...The music was such a big deal in part one, but in this one it took a backseat...It wasnt the main juncture....They focused more on the Story line...Booo...
It wasnt a gut buster, but it was comical, and the Kids will love it of course...Alex returns as the dancing Lion, and the Giraffe finally realizes he's not going to die....This one gets a Solid B, for the kids...Throw in a side of lemur, and a staunch penguin with a 007 mentality and enjoy the show.
