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.

Birddogger out.
