The Superbowl Movie Spot I Cared For

Posted in Movies, tagged , , , , , , , , , on February 8, 2012| 3 Comments »

Sure there were quite a few movie spots in the Superbowl, but none as awesome as the Avengers.  And by awesome, I meant explodey.  My gosh they’re really selling the whole action movie.  I sure hope this thing isn’t a loud bust, or else I and tons of others will be really upset.  Regardless, the classic Tony Stark humor is always appreciated and once again we ended on the Hulk screaming.  Literally, almost every Avengers teaser ends with the Hulk screaming.

Have you ever finished a movie and by the end, you’ve been motivated to try something that the movie greatly expanded on?  On several occasions, I’ve sat with my friends as the credits roll, and we’ve talked about how we could totally do what they did and reap the benefits of what the characters achieved on the screen.  Unfortunately, like most things, it’s far easier said than done.  Here’s 4 examples of me saying, ‘that could be us’ only to have me fall on my face.

I’ve only seen half of these movies, which I’m fairly ashamed for.  Regardless, they’ve compiled a decent list, but I honestly can’t say I completely agree with them.  First Class, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Moneyball, a lot of those that are nominated for best picture should be included in here.  Regardless, everyone is entitled to their opinions.

Shit Samuel L. Jackson Says

Posted in Character Profiles, Movies on February 2, 2012| 3 Comments »

If you have an internet pulse, you’ve probably come across the ‘Shit ____ Says’.  Now I wouldn’t put any of the ones like girls, asian dads, or sorority girls say, but this Samuel L. Jackson one is fairly hilarious.  I must admit the guy who acted as him is quite ballsy because the people he harassed look genuinely surprised.  Regardless, this one’s pretty good, I suggest you take a look.

Banana Unpeeled DVD Review: Our Idiot Brother

Posted in Movies, Reviews, tagged , , , , , , , on January 30, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Paul Rudd adds another goof to his resume of likable leads as he stars in Our Idiot Brother.  I’d consider this one of his more dramatic roles that holds more emotional weight than any of his others.  Overall Our Idiot Brother has a very charming and talented cast and while it succeeds as a comedic drama, it doesn’t meet the expectations I had hoped.

Ned (Rudd) is a laid back, kind-hearted, goof who sells marijuana to a police officer who’s incarcerated for his good intentions.  When he’s released from jail, he has to give up his old home, girlfriend, and dog and must resort to living with his three sisters (Zooey Deschanel, Emily Mortimer, and Elizabeth Banks) and their seemingly perfect lives.  He slowly turns their worlds upside down and is kicked out one-by-one.

10 Chick-Flicks/Rom-Coms I’m Not Ashamed to Love Out Loud

Posted in Lists, Movies, tagged , , , , , , , on January 26, 2012| 4 Comments »

Obviously there’s a lot of trash lying around in the entertainment industry also known as the romantic comedy.  What’s Your Number, The Bounty Hunter, most Katherine Heigl movies, etc.  These movies are specifically catered to the female demographic and the unfortunate souls they bring along with them to the movie theater or the viewing couch.  As a fairly metrosexual man myself, even I have limits as to what trash I will sit through.  Sometimes when I have conversations with women about movies, they’ll start listing movies such as these as their favorites and I have to force myself to not roll my eyes, but sometimes it’s just too much.  After shaking my head in disdain and slapping them on the hand for their poor taste, I’ll turn the conversation around on them by telling them these 10 movies that I consider rom-coms and chick flicks that won’t make your head explode from how bad they are.
