Gamer

I've always been a fan of playing video games. When I was growing up that's what most of the people in my neighborhood did. It was kind of funny because I used to beat everybody except by best friend. To this day I never understood how he managed to always have my number. It was basically only sports games that I was into. I would occasionally play some racing, adventure and army games. Now that I think about it I never had the chance to ever beat any army games. Leading into this movie, I'm sure glad I wasn't part of this adventure.

Interesting enough this movie is based on a video game that's played by real people. When I say real people I mean real people. Kable (Gerard Butler) was a man on a mission at the very beginning played by (really played by) Simon (Logan Lerman). Simon is a young rich kid that's known around the world for his great game play. A big change has arrived when he has to help Kable get out. Angie (the hot girl Amber Valletta) is Kable's ex and is now struggling economically and has to pick up a role in a realistic world video game. The genius that started the whole game became the richest person in the world, passing Bill Gates in weeks.
Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall) is a mad man and has a way bigger plan than just games. Humanz is a organization that is out to stop Ken because they know what his ultimate goal is. Humanz is ran by Brother (Ludacris) and is very proud to get Kable on his side. With all type of futuristic battles going down, who knows what the end could be.

Again, I wasn't disappointed in this one. I don't really know that I'm kind of easily pleased or the movies I've seen lately are really good. I think the fact that I use to always imagine games being played like that made me even more interested. The casting of the movie was right on point and the action will keep you interested. If your not a video game person and you like action movies then you still want to see this one. Go to the theater, this is not a wait to go on dvd one. As a person not really into a lot of action you might want to wait.

Funny People

Overall in my life I've just been getting by. I'll be the first to admit being an overachiever is far from my resume. The little small things that I have accomplished in my life is pretty much what everyone else has done. Recently I've registered myself back into school due to some out of my control circumstances. With this, I consider my second chance to actually so something in my life. The good thing is I haven't been around anyone that knew they were dying soon. I've had conversations with some people about what I would try to do if I knew that my time was up. The closest I've ever been feeling that way was when I took my HIV test. Just for the record I am negative but between the time I wasn't sure was very stressful. When someone finds out that they're dying all of a sudden everything isn't taken for granted.

The plot of this movie is about a comedian George Simmons (Adam Sandler) finding about that he's dying from a form of cancer. With his mind pretty much on the down side of everything he looks for a writer to write his jokes for him. Ira Wright (Seth Rogan) was the lucky one that had to open for George and George seen some potential in Ira. Ira was a man struggling on his own, living with two other comedians Leo Koenig (Jonah Hill) and Mark Taylor Jackson (Jason Schwartzman) that was doing better than him. Now that Ira has a good job writing for George his self esteem was going out the window because he's being treated like crap from George. After some meds that George had to take he became healed from his drama. Trying to convince his ex-wife Laura (the hot girl Leslie Mann) to be back with him because he was sick back fired on him in a terrible way. With a lot of things changing because he was dying on the other hand most things stayed the same.

I can confidently say that this movie is a good one. I loved the combination of Seth and Adam. Although it wasn't as good as the combo of Adam and Kevin but it was good. I was a little confused about what the main lesson was in this movie because of the ups and downs of George. My conclusion was that you should never take anyone for granted. I'm not sure if this movie is still in theaters or not but if it is without question go and see this one.
