The movie Wanted was actually very entertaining

    So my dad rented the movie Wanted today.  I watched it earlier.  I originally wasn't interested in this movie, but I figured I'd give it a chance.  It was ok.  The movie reminded me a lot of Shot 'Em Up, even though I only saw like the second half of that one.  It was an ok movie, pretty entertaining, but extremely ridiculous.  It was such a guy movie, haha.  So many insane gun fights.  James McAvoy was actually pretty good in it.  Common was actually pretty good, he really wasn't in the film very much.  The film was very ridiculous and unbelievable, but very entertaining. 

My first update in a while: Grampy and some movies I saw

    I have gotten a complaint that I haven't updated this in a while.  Well since the last time I updated this.  My grandfather, who I was very close to, was in the hospital for 5 weeks.  He came home last week and was on hospice care.   (Hospice care is when a person is dying and they are just made comfortable and the hospice people help you with pretty much everything).  He died last Friday at home surrounded by family.  It was really sad but he wasn't happy in the hospital and wanted to die at home.  He seemed very at peace when he was home.  Click here to see his obituary. 

    I saw the new Indiana Jones movie, oh god what a disappointment.  For a regular movie it was ok, but as an Indiana Jones movie it was bad.  Why why why why why did they have aliens in Indiana Jones????  Come on!!!  Or wait I'm sorry they weren't aliens, they were transdimensional beings. But still come on that alone kinda killed the movie.
    I also saw Tropic Thunder.  That was very funny, but not nearly as funny as it was hyped up to be.  It was definitely funny though.  Ben Stiller really wasn't as funny as he has been in the past.  Jack Black is usually so much more funny than that. I was disappointed.  I read a review of the movie Role Models (which I've also seen) that said it was really funny, but wasn't as funny as Tropic Thunder.  No I definitely think Role Models was way funnier.  That little black kid was so funny.
    I haven't really bought any Christmas presents yet.  I really need to get on that.  I applied to the Newbury Comics in the Solomn Pond Mall and they said they'd call me this week.  I hope I get the job then I'll have more money to buy presents.

Colbert White House Correspondents Dinner Speech

Hey I saw this video on CollegeHumor and I had to post it. This video is the famous video of Stephen Colbert giving his speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner. As you can see in the video President Bush is sitting two people next to him. I so this video online two and a half years ago, and if you haven't seen it yet YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS. If you are a fan of political humor of a fan of Colbert YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS. This video is hysterical. Colbert one the Spike "Guy's Choice Award" for "gutsiest move" for this. This was broadcast live on C-Span when it happened which makes it all the better. I wish I saw it live when it happened, it would have been funnier if I knew it was live. Jessie watch the video!!!!

Forgetting Sarah Marshall was actually Pretty Good

    I got Forgetting Sarah Marshall from the RedBox today.  I just finished watching it.  I liked it a lot better than I thought I would.  It is better than the 40 Year Old Virgin, better than Wedding Crashers, better than Knocked Up, better than Superbad, better than Talladega Nights.  It was pretty funny.  As I have thought with every Judd Apatow movie I have seen, it went a little overboard on some parts.  However, I think I really liked it.  The jokes were really funny.  Some of the small charcters were dumb, but the were only small charcters so it didn't really have an effect.  I liked Mila Kunis's charcter and I think her and Jason Segel were good together.  Russell Brand's charcter was very funny.  I loved Jack McBrayer's character, he plays the awkward quirky adult so so well.  And the woman that McBrayer's wife was Maris Thayer, from the movie Accepted and the movie and TV show Strangers with Candy, which was awesome.  I think her and Jack were good and really played off each other well.  Jonah Hill was funny, his only had a small role, but it was good.  Towards the end there is this really loud sex scene and my dogs in the next could hear it and the started barking, it was funny.
    There was an awesome special feature on the DVD called Line-O-Rama.  It is all the best and funniest lines of the movie said in a bunch of different ways.  It was really really funny. 

 

Thumbsucker, Rocket Science, and Idiocracy

    So I watched all three movies I got from the library.  Last night Jessie and I watched Thumbsucker.  I really didn't like it.  I really just didn't like this film. I thought the thumbsucking was dumb. The whole time I was watching it I was wondering when it would end .
    Earlier me and Jen watched Rocket Science.  This film was pretty good. It was slow at points. I thought the music in the film was awesome and worked really well. Some of the characters didn't work that well. But most of the main cast was awesome. For a full cast of total unknown actors, they were really good. Definitely not the best film I've seen this year, but definitely worth a viewing.
    I finished watching the movie Idiocracy like 15 minutes ago.  This movie was very dumb, but when you really think about it. I think it was supposed to be. It was definitely really funny in parts. Some of the characters were perfectly cast. It is actually a really interesting look at what our society may become someday with the mass consumerism and mass dumbing down of our current society. It would generally expect more from Mike Judge, but this a smart comedy disguised as a really dumb comedy.

I hate When My 7 AM Class is Canceled

    Today at school I had a 7 am class. I got to school at 6:55 am and there was a sign on the door that said class was canceled.  I was not happy.  I woke up that early and class was canceled.  A few of us went to the Student Center and I checked my email, I got a email saying class was canceled.  But who checks their email at like 6am???  The time of the email was midnight last night.  If you have a 7 am class the next day and you aren't an idiot wouldn't you go to bed before midnight???  It wasn't a total loss though, Scott helped me a lot with my chemistry, a lot.  We were trying to find something to watch in the Student Center, but there is nothing on TV at from like 7am 8:30 am except infomercials, children's shows and crappy morning shows.  We eventually found Malcolm in the Middle and watched that. 
    When I got home I went to the post office and the library.  I picked up my Cheech & Chong tickets at the post office, sweet.  At the library I got three DVDs out.  I figure maybe on Friday me & Jessie could watch a couple.  Jessie is awesome.  I got Rocket Science, Thumbsucker, and Idiocracy. 

WROR Yard Sale was Awesome

    When we left this morning we went to Dozen Donuts and I got my usual two glazed donuts.  When dad came back to the car with my donuts Jen looked and the bag and took one of my donuts out and asked if she could bite it.  I was like, "sure, I doubt you'll eat it though."  Today was the WROR Yard Sale at Kimble's.  It was awesome.  I got a bunch of good shit cheap.  Mom and Gram bought a lot, A LOT, of really good, really cheap stuff.  I bought Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 for GameCube for $1 and another cool lighting globe thing for $5.  I also bought the books Stuff White People Like and Cheech & Chong: The Unauthorized autobiography by Tommy Chong for $1 each, hats right $1 each for those two amazing books.  I also bought a new copy of the CD Lorne and Wally: Stand Up Guys for $.25 (it sells at FYE for $14) and even got Lorne and Wally to sign it for me.  Although I had to fight a large crowd to get their autographs.  I also bought one of comedian Bob Marley's CDs and got him to sign that too.  Then later I heard of some speaker that Tom Doyle was there so I went to find him to see if he'd sign something.  I saw him from a distance but when i started to get close he was gone.  Then I tried again and I didn't see him again.  Then when I went to leave I didn't see him but I walked by him and he called me some name and shock my hand.  I was going to have him sign my CD too, but I figured screw it, I should have brought my copy of his CD to sign.  It was a good day.  After that we all went for lunch/breakfast at Jake's.

Baby Mama Disappointed Me :(

I went to rent a movie out of the RedBox today, but once again it didn't have what I really wanted. I got Baby Mama instead, which I did want to see though. I was disappointed though. I thought Tina Fey wrote it, she didn't. It was less funny that I expected. The reviews weren't amazing, but I figured it can't be horrible. There were some funny scenes, but overall it wasn't really that funny. Most of the really funny scenes were in the commercials and trial for the movie, so I'd already seen them. There were so many genius comedians and writers that worked on or were in this that I really expected more.

Ode to the Mooninites!!!!

    I just saw this on TV and laughed really really hard.  You have to watch this video.  Its hysterical!!!!

The Amateurs, a Film About a Porno, with No Nudity......

    I know I haven't written in here in a while, but here it goes.  I rented the movieThe Amateurs from the RedBox today.  I was going to get Where in the World is Osama bin Laden?, but they didn't have it so I gotThe Amateurs instead.  I'd heard of The Amateurs movie several months ago, and thought it may be interesting, but probably not that good.   I was wrong.  I was very wrong.  This movie is awesome!!!!!  The cast is awesome!!!  The cast includes: Jeff Bridges, Patrick Fugit, Ted Danson, Joe Pantoliano, William Fichtner, Lauren Graham, Glenne Headley, Tim Blake Nelson, Isaiah Washington and Jeanne Tripplehorn.  It is the story of a small town that never really did anything big, so I bunch of the guys in town decide to produce their own porno.  Ted Danson's character is gay but won't admit it.  He plays a really funny gay guy.  Jeff Bridges is the head of the pack trying to make this film.  For a film about a porno, there is no nudity.  There is a tiny bit of ass nudity, including Ted Danson's, but that's it.  Isaiah Washington plays a black man who was cast in the movie as one of the well endowed black guys who has a four-way with the skinny white guy.  But he and the other two black guys were not "endowed enough", so they were fired.  Isaiah Washington's character and Jeff Bridges get into a really funny argument in a diner about their issue of Washington was not "endowed enough".  But that is really ok.  This movie is really funny.  I mean really funny.  The ending was great too.  I won't really saw what happened, but the ending was really smart.  All and all it was just a really unexpectedly funny movie.  The sad thing is very few people have heard of it.  I think it would have been a lot bigger if it was marketed better.  So go see this movie!!!!!!  I've included the trailer for the film below:
