Get Him To The Greek. not bad, Rose Byrne is yummy. After seeing 21 Jump Street the other day, I had forgotten how big Jonah Hill used to be! quite a lot of laughs, and it's always good to see Colm Meaney on the screen.

If there's any tragedy to this movie is not having "Hardy Bane" as "Comic Book Bane", the latter just doesn't appeal to me as strongly as the former has, perhaps Miss Simone can change my mind about that, but until then, there's only one Bane for me.

In any case, it's still awesome, my girlfriend loved it, she hadn't seen the first one until a few days ago, even though she had already seen The Dark Knight, she was quite pleased at how this one tied so well with Batman Begins.

Pineapple Express - one of those action/comedies that fails as either by trying to be both like both Cop Out and Green Hornet, it's a totally watchable movie, but I think, scratch that, I did laugh more in Expendables 2.
perhaps I would have enjoyed it more had I still been a stoner.

Um...isn't this supposed to link us to your review? Why is there a video about Superman playing?

I really wanted this to be amazing, I love the Wallace & Gromit movies, but the script in this was way too formulaic, everything else was great though, but unlike other animated films, this perhaps much more aimed towards very young kids.

Paprika - 9/10

Fresh, trippy, adventurous, creepy, and surprisingly... endearing.

Why Mister Soderbergh ! I didn't know you had it in ya !

Very good action-thriller, it's a filtered "90's Stallone-Schwarzzeneger action vehicle", but replacing the male lead with a female one, and making the plot worthy of attention while also reflecting a few realities about the modern spy world, albeit with a few additions like Bill Paxton's character which I found to be quite curious.

However, Gina Carano can't act for shit, she does better than some but sometimes she sounds like an answering machine.

Killer Joe

That was a beautiful kind of batshit. It was a weird mixture of character drama and exploitation, the like of which I've never seen before. Absolutely worth a look.

Yeah........wuuut ?

I had heard of this movie before but I didn't know it was this good, really funny and quite the learning experience to find out that somewhere in this world, at a not-so-far point in time, Jazz became relevant again.

Dude, I've talked about how good this movie is several times.

Also, I think it was swing, not jazz.

and now that you've seen swingers, by law you have to watch made.

I knew you held it in high esteem, but anyone else ? Nope.

And I thought Swing was a sub-genre of Jazz ? Maybe it's not after all.

Anyways, to talk about the movie:

SPOILERS

I don't think I would've been able to do what Mike did, it seems quite admirable to do what he did at the end with Michelle. It sure was hilarious, but I don't know, SIX YEARS ? I don't think I would be able to let go of my girlfriend if anything happened to us and I had only six months trying to get over her.

Well, he was miserable for such a long time, both in his love life, as well as work. Throughout the movie he keeps trying to get back in the game, but he's never honest about his situation, and it always ends up backfiring on him. Until he meets Heather Graham's character, where he just decides to be himself, and finds that she's not putt off by him. Then he's able to relax, and everything just comes along naturally. It is maybe a bit too neat of an ending, but there's also the scene where Ron Livingston's character has a talk with him, and maybe that put his life into perspective?

Also, would you agree that Vince Vaughn has never been able to match his role as Trent in his career? Every performance of his lately just seems like a watered down version of the character. He has never been as funny and charismatic as he was in this movie.

And as for swing, I think it is a sub-genre of jazz, but it is quite different, and besides, it goes better with the title "Swingers".

I also can't remember the name of Ron Livingston's character, and I just saw the movie

I'd say it took a lot of work, from both "Ron" and Trent to get Mike back from his depression, so while it is indeed too neat of an ending, it at least has some ground to stand on, I mean, Mike had gone at his lowest when he called Nicki.



Absolutely, as a matter of fact, I was reluctant to watching this movie precisely because of Vince Vaughn, but his character was great here, the "Fangs and Claws scene" was fantastic, and it was apparently written at his behest, which kinda makes me even more confused about why he sucks so much now.

It was also quite endearing how Vaughn really showed how good of a friend Trent was to Mike, he couldn't have deep, profound talks about Mike's feelings, but he could at least take him to the best places and not act like a dick whenever Mike made a mistake.



Well, it does sound better, but I thought this was a "Married Swingers" film at first
