Movie Reviews

I'm one of those people that isn't very picky about movies. There's only a handful of movies I can say I honestly hated. There are many I can say I honestly loved. And thousands that fall in between in the land of "eh."
For the most part, if I was entertained and it held my attention, I'm pretty satisfied. It, as a movie, did it's job. Whether I forget about it 30 seconds later or not, it still did it's job for 2 hours of my life.
I've watched a lot of movies lately, because it's winter and it's like a fucking arctic tundra out there and I have no life.

Juno
OK, so I guess this movie is over-hyped and anything that is over-hyped is hated by some people, I don't get it. But it's just a good movie. It made me laugh. A lot. I started crying when the dad (JK Simmons) said to find the person that loves you for you, everything about you, and keep that person. It seems corny when I type it out, but the way he said it just killed me. I also cried after she had the baby, and she was lying there next to Pauly and crying. But I think that was because I was already in cry-mode from what Dad said. Anyway, my point is: this is a great movie and it probably made my top 10, but I'll have to watch it again to make sure. You should watch it too.

Superbad
I know, I know. Everyone has seen this movie except for me, so I finally watched it. I thought it was funny, especially the cops. Seth Rogan cracks me up, and if I do remember correctly, I said he was the highlight of You, Me, and Dupree and that was way before he was all famous. Can I call it, or what? So anyway, this movie was funny-stupid in parts, and touchingly-funny in other parts, but mostly just plain funny. I'd watch it again.

The Heartbreak Kid
This is the movie with Ben Stiller in it, I didn't recognize the title either, don't feel bad. So, basically Stiller thinks he needs to get married and meets this chick and marries her after 2 months of dating and goes on his honeymoon, where he discovers she's an annoying obnoxious slobby bitch. He knows it's not going to work. In the process of that, he meets another girl who he falls in love with, but doesn't tell her he's married. Hilarity ensues. But not really. I chuckled here and there, but this one falls into the "Eh." category. It entertained me for the most part, but I wouldn't watch it again unless I was really bored and it was on TBS at 2am and I was trying to fall asleep.

American Psycho
I just watched this on HBO like 20 minutes ago. I would have watched it sooner if I knew Christian Bale was buck ass naked so often in it. He is a total creep-job, he does a good job playing that character. I didn't get that into it, I was talking on the phone and playing online all at the same time, but it seemed pretty good and very bloody/gory and I never heard 80s music be that scary before. I'd watch it again and probably will to get a better take on it. I DVR'd it.

Cloverfield
Well, first of all I have to compare it to Blair Witch Project because it's shot from the perspective of a hand held home video camera. May cause dizziness and queasiness in some, including me. Only a couple times though. It was a pretty cheesy horror movie, but aren't most horror movies cheesy? I mean, c'mon. It held my attention pretty well and I jumped a few times. The huge alien monster thing was scary looking, mainly because it had huge elbows. And in the very end scene J said he saw the big thing fall from the sky into the ocean, I didn't see it though. So, overall wait til it comes out on DVD or you can get a bootlegged copy, I wouldn't pay $8 to watch it.

So, there ya go. I realize I should write reviews for a living and I'm sure I enlightened your day.
Bye.
