It's hot outside. Really hot. So hot and humid that I get a headache after then minutes out there.this means my usual weekend experience of an ice cold beer by the pool is out of the question. I've spent the whole weekend watching movies..indoors. This has also been less than satisfactory. Due to multiple requests for reviews, here is my weekend at the movies.
Trainwreck
I'm not sure what I expected but an r rated lifetime movie wasn't it. I've heard people compair this to a typical romantic comedy. Noooo because this movie definitely deals with the Stars personal demons that include drugs, alcohol and sexual deviancy. Not in a funny look at how silly she is way but a, if I don't change my life I'm going to lose my family, friends and career kind of way...maybe even go to jail. This makes the film drag, it's about two hours and twent minutes long. I got bored after an hour and a half. The film makes no sence if you really think it out. Supposedly she is unable to commit because her dad tells her as a child that it's not possible. She then likes a guy and her problem isn't commiting but the fact she feels she doesn't deserve someone good in her life because she has slept around?? Wait..what?
That said John ceda is halarious and so is LeBron James. The hapless guy who plays Amy's love interest is funny and adorable. These guys deliver so real laughs during the film. The movie would have worked much better if her dad hadn't been seen after his brief appearance at the start of the film...and the rest of the movie had focused on Amy's character learning why she needs or wants a relationship..and the nerdy guy winning her over of course. Leave the sappy drama to lifetime please.
Out of five stars I give this one three. It's a funny movie, but it's no match for films like Superbad or Pineapple Express, who have more laughs and less drama.
Joe dirt 2
Dear David Spade,
I am super pissed about Joe dirt 2. You had what like...twenty years to write something and you give me some stupid time traveling, angel, inception bs? I give you NO excuses about a smaller budget because a big budget wasn't necessary. You acted like the first move didn't even happen. I mean Joe went from guest staring on mtv to obscurity again? Not to mention your constant rehashing of the same jokes. Again you had like twenty damn years to write new ones. Whyyyyyy???
Hey I have an idea why doesn't Joe run for the office of mayor of silvertown as the underdog? ...Or what if fame went to his head and brandy left and he had to win her back?? ...Or even if Brandy was pregnant and he gets lost in the tornado and has to make it back before she has the baby? I mean there is like three better ideas...right freaking there!
Guys the idea behind the film is so stupid..it's just hard to even watch the movie and worst of all towards the end it just gets boring. I swear at the end they just started making shit up. I don't even
think there was a script. Now that's fine if you are will Ferrell ....but the chick who plays brandy is no will Ferrell or even a Christina Applegate.
I'll give it this..it does start off with promise. I thought the first half hour was ok for a low budget crackle film. Christopher Walkin is obviously amazing, except when they make him say..get yo momma to sew this like thirty times.
Unfortunately I have to give Joe dirt 2 only two stars. The best I can say for it is...I've seen worse.
Anyway..hey David..lets just pretend this didn't happen.
Sincerely,
Joe Dirt fans
It Follows
Everyone loves this film...everyone. I have had people call me after watching it just to tell me I needed to watch it, so I was super stoked to watch it obviously!
What the hell is everyone talking about? This movie is so slow I could hardly watch. There is almost
no dialogue it. The great shots everyone keeps telling me are so good..are also boring, plain and unimagitave. Did I watch the same film as everyone else? The one good scene is at the very beginning when our lead actress is first cursed. I got excited after that scene...and then nothing. Snooze fest.
All I can say without giving to much away is... typical ending, not much excitement, poor dialogue..bad set, poor lighting..just nothing interesting. The idea behind the film is great..a std that really does follow you home! Yes please! Great idea. I'd like to see this made with an adult cast...better set design...and can we call a damn priest or something? Everyone knows you can't shoot a demon damn it!
I'd give this film a two out of five also. Again, I've seen worse..but this could have been executed way better.
Ok that's it..three crappy movies this weekend. So far this summer I haven't seen anything to get excited about. I'm hoping the new vacation movie will wow me! Fingers crossed!
