So I went into this movie knowing what to expect. Some cheesy child's flick that would be predictable. Problem is... I actually really enjoyed the movie. Probably because when it comes to little children, I get pretty sappy. So sappy trees get jealous.
Despicable Me is a story of a villain that tries not to be out done by other villains. The problem is he is two steps behind another villain. In an attempt to obtain some property, he adopts three little girls as part of a plan. Of course falling in love with the girls wasn't part of the plan, and it wasn't in my plans either.
The dialog is decent. Not fabulous or anything by far. However there is some adult humor here and there. Perhaps my favorite part was the jab at Lehman Brothers.
The story itself is a great idea, and I thought it was delivered quite well.
I can't really judge the acting, but the little girls are what make the movie. Them and the little green monsters... and maybe the lead character's accent. Yes, all those things. And the little girls.
I have to admit, I am biased. The movie got to me. For those that know me, the answer is yes. I didn't even realize it happened till I had to wipe my eyes. (Damn sappy kid shit).
I have to give this flick an orgy out of a cherry pit (4 out of 5).
Due to technical difficulties, I did not make it to The Last Airbender, so if you were wanting a review of that flick, well... tough shit. However, if someone would like to write a review over it, I will give it a shout out in my next one. Speaking of which, the next flick is Inception. Should be interesting. I wonder if it is in 3D.
Aight peeps... you know the drill

Playing Ketchup
I had a special request from someone to start this up again. I figured why not, it's the least I can do plus I get kind of excited when I find out someone actually reads my stuff. It has been a while since I have done this, so bear with me. I have a lot to cover.
For starters let's go with Get Him to the Greek, a film about a music agent nobody who becomes in charge of getting a washed up rock star to a concert.
The storyline is nuts! Reminds me a lot of the first Harold and Kumar movie where you never knew or could guess what would happen next. The serious moments were serious, the outlandish moments were... well... outlandish. Basically it was everything The Hangover tried to be.
What made this flick even better is the P-diddy, puff daddy, black Cheeto whatever the heck is name is now did an amazing job. The whole cast did really well. Their acting just made the movie that much better.
My favorite part was that most of the stuff in the previews didn't even happen in the movie. Basically the movie wasn't ruined at all. Such a pleasant surprise this film was. '
I have to give this flick a whole cherry pit (5 out of 5).
Next up, The Karate Kid. A story about a boy who moves to China, has a tough time with a bully and enters a tournament to earn respect.
I normally don't compare movies to their predecessors, but I can't help it with this one. The story lines are pretty much identical. If you have seen the original, than technically you have seen this one two. There is no M. Night twist to make it different. There are small differences, but overall it is the same. Because of that, you get the same Karate Kid feeling. It is the same thing that made the original a hit.
However, the acting was bad. In fact, the best acting came from the bully. He was no Johnny, but he was unique all his own. Really nailed the role.
Even though I saw the original, seeing this version in theaters was well worth it. I can honestly say, during the tournament scenes, I could not tell whether the cheering was coming from the movie or from my fellow viewers. I have to give this flick an orgy out of a cherry pit (4 out of 5).
It is hard to take something great follow up with something better. Unless your Usher. That dude has been making hits since I was afraid to ask a girl out.
Toy Story 3 is about Andy growing up and moving on to college and the toys moving on to a day care in hopes of getting played with.
I have to say, the movie lives up to all the hype. The story line was clever and so well written. This movie wasn't just made to rake in dollars, it makes the second film look like child's play (not the Chucky movie). The movie grasps at the kid in you and never lets go. I definitely had to try and hold back some tears.
I give Toy Story 3 a whole cherry pit (5 out of 5).
Finally to this weeks flick. Grown Ups.
This flick is about a pee wee basketball team that becomes reunited 30 years later when their coach passes. The rest of the flick... well... you saw it in the previews. Believe when I say save your money.
The movie tries to stand alone with the actors, but the piss poor predictable story line almost had me leaving the theater early. That and the fucker who wouldn't stop kicking my seat. Grr... I almost wanted to yell AAAHHHHHHH! I heard doing that makes you feel better ;) but I might of just gotten some funny looks.
Ohh yeah, that boring ass movie I just got out of. The dialog was horrible. The jokes are lame. I think I might of laughed once but I couldn't even tell you at what. The acting was bad too. Having a bunch of big name actors sounds great in theory, but then again so does Communism.
Salma and the girls who play Rob Schneider's kids are what got me through the movie. The eye candy helped me survive. You should be proud, I stayed strong. I should get a medal for that shit.
So yeah, this flick gets a lonely night out of a cherry pit (1 out of 5).
That was a lot to cover (don't you wish condoms told you that all the time). I dedicate this one to the requester. :):)
Next weeks flick is The Last Airbender. Not sure why he is the last one. Guess I have to find out.

Ironed up?
First off, If you have paid attention to the previews, you can pretty much figure out what is going to happen. Yup, it is one of those flicks. To Bad.
Also, if you have seen Iron Man 1 and Spiderman, you probably can say that you have seen Iron Man 2. I really can't tell you why I feel this way without ruining the movie.
I will say that everyone is going to think this is the greatest movie since Avatar. (I hate that shit).
I will also say that I was very entertained throughout most of the flick, although it did seem to take a while at certain parts. Overall the movie was well put together.
The acting was really impressive. Of course Downey Jr. nails the role of the rich asshole, and Johansson looks freaking amazing. I mean like more amazing than a Victoria Secret fashion show. And when she does her thing, you might not want to stand up for a while. Yup, it's that good.
Mickey Rourke really stole the show though. There was no way I could tell that guy played a wrestler. Great Job Mickey!
However, there was some loose ends in the flick, and some of the animation scenes of Iron Man look like crap.
It had so much going for it, but in the end, it kind of failed me. But like I said, everyone is going to think this movie is great, awesome, amazing etc. I have to give this flick a threesome out of a cherry pit (3 out of 5).
And by the way, there is something at the end of the credits.
Next weeks flick is Robin Hood.

Can't fall asleep.
Aight, so we all know Robert Englund is Freddy, but Jackie Earle Haley is given a chance.
Nightmare on Elm St. is a story we are all familiar with. People try not to fall asleep cause they are haunted by a plastic looking man with claws.
The Film was actually well done in my opinion. Not to gory, not to over the top.. but pretty nice. Overall, I can say I was entertained.
The acting was surprisingly well.
The worst part of this movie is Freddy himself. Haley did a good job, but his dialog is so bad. They try to give him some good one liners but they fail miserably.
You should know what to expect when you go watch this flick, and you won't be disappointed. I am giving this flick an orgy out of a cherry pit (4 out of 5). I know the review is short, but get over it. It is pretty much to the point.
Next weeks movie is Iron Man 2.

Are they really losers?
So, if you think the Losers is going to be similar to the A-team, give yourself a gold star. It's a story of some kick-ass soldiers who get framed. The only thing that's missing is a gold wearing, mo-hawk headed fool pity-er.
I am not sure why similar movies come out in this fashion. It is really a pain in the ass. It's like all the writers in Hollywood pitch the same fucking idea at the same fucking time. I guess they figure if you pay to watch one of the films, you might pay to watch the second. Don't believe this is a problem, here is a Sporcle quiz dedicated to such a topic. http://www.sporcle.com/games/jmgand01/Similar_Movies
Although I mentioned the story line seems all to familiar, the storyline is something I actually liked. It was well told and I was thoroughly entertained.
The acting was done very well to. The group of kick-ass soldiers worked well together, and they each nailed their roles, giving each soldier a unique character will still adding to the cohesion of the group. (Pulled that shit out of an old high school English paper.)
The action sequences were put together almost as well as the movie itself. A couple different techniques were used at different parts of the movie, but it still goes over well.
So, what's wrong with this movie. Some cheesy ass dialog is what's wrong. Like cheesier than your fingertips after you just realized you just ate half the bag of Cheetos.
However, that is the only real flaw I can find in this flick. Since that is the case, I give this movie an orgy out of a Cherry Pit (4 out of 5.)

Is the movie really Kick-Ass?
First off, I really didn't know much about this flick except a dude dresses up to become a super hero and then some others do the same, and that's pretty much it.
Well... that is the case, but shit hits the fan. Turns out there is a lot more going on. So much so, I really don't feel like disclosing all the information. Sorry peeps.
I will say I did like the story line, and I even got into the movie. I thought it moved a little slow at first with all the character introductions, but once that was out of the way, it really wasn't that bad. The main issue I had with the story line is that I felt it couldn't make up it's mind to as whether or not the movie was going to be a comedy or full out action flick. It is a little of both with some good one liners and scenes here and there for laughs and then a bunch of gore and death in the next. It really isn't the best combination and I don't think they pulled it off.
The acting was very cheesy at times. This by far was the worst acting by Nicholas Cage that I have ever seen. However, Lyndsy Fonseca was pretty cute, and Chloe Grace Moretz nailed her role. Maybe Cage should stick to finding national treasures or stealing cars.
I have a feeling a lot of people are going to like this flick. Me, on the other hand, thinks was a decent attempt to try something new by combining comedy with action, but they could have done without the similar Spider-man storyline in the beginning.

Date Night is exactly how it sounds
So right off the bat, I am going to tell you I am biased against Steve Carell. I really don't care for the guy or his movies. But I am going to try and put those feelings aside for the sakes of this damn review.
Date Night is about an average everyday married couple who try to go out of their routine, and it basically goes to shit. Not just any shit, the kind of shit that you call Waste Management for at three in the morning and hope you don't get a fucking answering machine.
The acting wasn't bad. Although I don't really like Steve Carell, both him and Tina Fey did a decent job. It definitely wasn't Oscar material but it wasn't a complete waste. Pretty mediocre.
The movie has a really dry humor and I honestly didn't find it that funny. However, the people in the theater laughed, so I imagine at least some people will find it humorous. I didn't really laugh that much, but I did crack up a time or two.
The storyline is really off the wall (not quite like Michael Jackson's). It takes you on a wild ride and it really doesn't make a lot of sense, but honestly, who says it has to? Reminds me of watching Harold and Kumar as they try to go to White Castle, which is actually a story line that I really like.
The best part of this movie is definitely the ending. Although I thought it was a little far fetched, the way it concluded really got to me. Maybe because I am a sap for some of that shit. Watch it and you will know what I mean. Plus the out-takes were pretty funny.
Since I mention that you should watch this flick, I have to give this movie a threesome out of a cherry pit (3 out of 5). It is definitely one you should try and watch with your babe :):):)
