The Hangover

A drunk ain't sh*t is what they say. I drink sometimes yeah, but I don't get drunk often. I think that's one of the main reason that I don't drink because of hangovers. I can only think of maybe two times that I've drunk and passed out. To see someone that drunk in person is kind of funny but at the same time sad. People should know when to stop drinking after a certain point. I know when I was younger I always wanted to test my limits for some reason. I don't know if it was because of the people I was around with the peer pressure or just stupid. People act differently than others when they're drunk. Some people get angry and want to argue with everybody about everything. Some people just act the complete opposite of whatever their personality is normally. I think the only thing that everybody go through is getting a little horny, it's just the fact that some people can control what they do. Bachelor parties are one of the funniest things on earth to go to. I don't know if you could ever compare the men parties to the women's but I would assume that ours are more fun. Men don't really think about what the women are doing during the party but I've seen some man have to answer the phone whenever they women call. A lot of the men bachelor parties are the same and I don't have to go into details about what they are.

This movie is about a bachelor party that goes completely south. It's one of those movies that starts at the end then goes into what happened. Doug Billings (Justin Bartha)is the one that's getting married and at the beginning of the movie the day of the wedding he was lost. His farther-in-law decided to let him use his precious car to go to Vegas. Along the way he wants to take of course take a couple of his friends with him to Vegas. The brother-in-law Alan Garner (Zach Galifianakis) goes along and lets just say he's a couple beers short of a six pack. Then he goes and pick up his school teacher friend Phil Wenneck (Bradley Cooper) who comes off as a scam artist because he finds some way to get the money from the kids in his class so he can have some cash for Vegas. The last one is his dentist friend Stu Price (Ed Helms) who comes for a marriage that is ran by his wife Mellisa (Rachael Harris). The situations that they put themselves through is just amazing everything from some how ending up with a tiger in the apartment to finding 8 million something in chips for the casino.

Every time I write a review on a movie I always get the temptation to tell you the whole movie. Of course I'm not going to do it because I don't want to ruin the movie like other reviews do. If your into movies like Old School or The Wedding Crashers then you don't want to miss this one. I really can't think of anything negative to say about this movie besides the adventurous they go through are not realistic but it is a movie. There are a couple of guest appearance's by Mike Epps, Mike Tyson and Heather Graham. The hot girl in the movie is Jade (Heather Graham) who is a stripper that gets married to Stu, a long story. I personality don't think the movie is funny without Alan involved just because he's stupid and does stupid stuff. If you haven't went and seen this movie at the theater go ahead, you won't be disappointed.

Dance Flick

Dance, dance, dance, I'm a dancing machine. Watch me get down, watch me get down. If you were a dancing machine in the mid 90's then you know the rest of the lyrics of this song. Growing up in my household you would have to be a music fan or else you wouldn't fit in. I have an older brother who was a dancing machine and of course I wanted to be better than him. That's just what younger brothers do, so I was also a dancing machine. You know how back in the day people use to make a circle at a dance and watch the person in the middle dance. I was that guy in the middle. The things we did growing up dancing isn't nothing compared to what they can do now a days. In the real versions of this movies the dances were crazy.

This movie is the make fun of all dance movie versions. In the same category as the Scary Movie sequels and this one is one of the best. It's crazy to me how funny the whole Wayans family can be. Of course making fun of movies started out with the Naked Gun series and Keenen Ivory Wayans ran off with it. This movie was directed by (I think his son) Damien Dante Wayans but wrote by Keenen. The family was all through the movie which was predicted just because that's how the family works. The movie stars Damon Wayans Jr. (son of Damon Wayans, My Wife and Kids) as Thomas. Thomas runs into a girl at school Megen (Shoshana Bush) and her friend Charity (the cute girl Essence Atkins) to teach them how to dance. Thomas is around some of the wrong people whenever he's with his dance partner A-Con (Affion Crockett) who tries to point him to the wrong directions.

It's kind of hard to do a review on a comedy movie that makes fun of other movies. The best thing I can say is this movie is funny. Some of my fellow blogger's doesn't agree with the way I feel about some comedies I've refereed but it's just my opinion. So if you haven't went and spent your money yet on this movie. My advice is go see it and you won't be disappointed.

Next Day Air

Well, it's been a minute since my last write. I want to aplogize to my follower.

Growing up in the hood has it's good times and bad times. The things you can run into can often change your life in a blink of an eye. At the wrong place at the wrong time is a regular cliche. At the right place at the right time is something you don't hear on a normal basis. A lot of the time it has something to do with where you are and whoever your around. Watching movies can often be rediculous and make most people say that only happens in movies.

In this movie it's the same thing, it only happens in the movies. I belive this movie is suppose to be a comedy. I'm not going to tell you that I didn't laugh in the movie but I guess I didn't find it that funny. The movie is about a couple different people meeting at a drug deal from different places. Leo (Donald Faison) who works for his mother at a delivery service drops off a drug package to the wrong address. Brody (Mike Epps) and Gooch (Wood Haris) are the reciever of this package which is a "gift from Jesus" to them. The proper owner Bodega( Emilio Rivera)course is very upset that the package didn't delivered to Jesus(Cisco Reyes) and Chita(the hot girl Yasmin Deliz). Now he's out to find out who got the package and willing to do whatever it takes. In the mean time Brody and Gooch decides to try to get rid of the package by calling his cousin Shavoo(Omari Hardwick) who is a big time drug dealer. Everything is all down hill from there.

This movie is not that funny to me compared to the potential it had. With all the actors that play in the movie I just thought it would be funnier. As expected the funny parts of the movie has something to do with Mike Epps. I do belive that Donald Faison has the potential to be a good actor but just not yet. I just have a lot of mixed feelings about this movie so I'm kinda stuck on between telling you to go see this at the theater or wait for video. With that said I guess I can start rating my movies with 1 being terrible 10 being great. I guess I'm going to give this movie a 7.

Obsessed

Relationships always have their ups and downs. Whenever you have a happy couple around it's always someone trying to bring you down. Like they always say misery loves company for some reason. For me personally I can tell when someone is a beer short of a six pack. They all have their own personal signs where you can tell they're a little off. I'm sure it's some type of statistic that shows that men are a little more crazy than women. Because whenever you hear about some type of domestic disturbance it's usually the man doing something. The funny part it's really shocking to the world when it's the woman that's doing the disturbing.



As you all know this movie is about a man Derek (Idris Elba) who is on top of his game in every aspect of his life. His beautiful stay at home mom Sharon (Beyoncé Knowles) who loves her little son. Everything is going great for them until Derek's office needs a temp and that's when it all goes down hill. When Lisa (Ali Larter) meet Derek in the elevator right then she knew what she wanted and was going to do whatever it took. They have their moment together when he does his little harmless flirting, but to her it was all she needed to hear. After that little talk she decided to take over his life.



To me it's a thin line between trying to be there for somebody and wanting them. I believe in the saying you can look but don't touch rule. I think that's all Derek was doing and she was the crazy one. I really don't think I can call this movie good or bad it's just very typical. Idris Elba is a pretty good actor and I can honestly say that Beyoncé did her best job out of all her movies yet. I'll put this movie in the chick flick category. This was or is a very hyped up movie so if you already spent your money at the theater sorry. If you haven't then just wait for a least the video store.

12 Rounds

Well, where do I start with this one. Whenever someone gets married one of the things you have to say is til death do us part. Your suppose to go all out for your spouse. I'm sure it has a lot to do with the love that you've created for each other before you got married. Sometimes it scares me how creative the writers are with some of these story's they write. This movie is a good guide to show you how much a husband should love his wife.



This movie is about a cop Det. Danny Fisher (John Cena) who is in love with his wife Molly(the hot girl? Ashley Scott). Det. Danny Fisher just ends up at the wrong place at the wrong time. The FBI has been looking for an arms dealer Miles Jackson (Aidan Gillen) for a long time. They seem to have him all cornered up but he still manages to get away. The FBI of course had to call the local department for assistance. Danny Fisher and his partner Det. Hank Carver (Brian White) was called to the seen. After a long chase Miles girlfriend was killed. A year later Miles breaks out of jail and plots revenge against Danny. Miles sends Danny through obstacles in order to get his wife back. Which is the reason it's called 12 rounds.



Can we say Die Hard 3? To me that is all this movie is but an updated version. I should apologize for comparing these movies but I'm not. You have the white cop whose wife is in trouble and is willing to do whatever it takes to get her back. The black man that's his partner and the only difference is one was a sarcastic man that owned a store. The other is a cop with a bad sense of humor. The bad guy is out for revenge on a plot that's just like Die Hard 3. The good thing is it's not as predictable. The action in the movie is non stop and quite interesting. If you're just an action person go and see this movie. If not keep your money and wait for it to come out on cable.

The Reader

As we grow up in this world, almost where ever you are, it's always cool to have someone older. I'm talking about having a girlfriend/boyfriend that's a couple of years older. It's the people that's around you that tell you that your heart is gonna get broken or something bad is gonna happen. In the cases that I've seen it's somehow true. I'm not really sure on why it happens but I have my own perception. That's what this movie is about, the heart break, secrets, and failure of an older relationship.



This is a interesting movie/chick flick because of the situation that Michael Berg (Ralph Fiennes and David Kross) puts himself in. Micheal was found by Hanna Schmitz (Kate Winslet) at the bottom of her apartment throwing up. He was sick from having scarlet fever and he came back to thank her. At that point they somehow lock eyes and falls in love with each other. Due to the fact that they're twenty years apart, she was thirty five and he was fifteen. That can make most people turn in their stomach. It was all about the sex (nudity) at the beginning of the relationship then she realized he had to give up something. It turns out that all she wanted was for him to read to her. Later in life Michael becomes a law student and runs into Hanna at an open trial that involves her in the concentration camp.



The Reader is one of those movies that go back and forth from past to present. At first it kind of confused me but it didn't take long. To me movies like that just keeps me on my toes. Kate Winslet won an award for this movie. I hope it was for her acting and not just because she was naked through the first thirty minutes of the movie. Overall I think this was a pretty good movie. Again I'm going to say if your a sleeper you may not want to watch this one. It's a long and slow movie with no action, besides the sex. If you already seen this movie at the theater I hope you think it was worth it. I can say its worth your video rental cash.

Obeserve and Report

As I walk through the mall a couple of things go through my mind. Besides the normal things that everyone else think about like clothes and the people. I can't help but to think about some of the movies that involved malls. The blues brothers when they drove the cars through the mall getting chased by the police. Dawn of the Dead when the people was trapped in the mall and all the zombies was trying to get in. Now the latest Mall Cop when Paul Mart is a security officer that's motivated to become a real cop. Runs into some people trying to break into the mall and saves the day.
Observe and Report has a lot of similarities besides there both mall cops. In the movie Ronnie Barnhardt (Steth Morgan) is a really ambitious security officer who is also trying to get into the police force. Detective Harrison (Ray Liotta) is the anal cop who messes with Ronnie Barnhardt all through the movie. I guess the hot girl is Brandi (Anna Faris) and she works in the malls department store. I think she's a pretty funny person in her other movies like the "scary movies". In this one she isn't that funny just has some funny parts.
The movie it self is really blown out of proportion. Everything is such a big deal, the whole movie is about some pervert who runs around outside the mall naked. Showing his goods to every woman he see, the funniest parts of the movie. Ronnie (Seth Morgan) is a tad bit over board with his obsession wit becoming a cop. Has a drunken mother who shows no sign of being a good parent but tries to be there for her son.
As the producer, writer, or whoever decided to bring this movie out at this time knows that everyone in the world is going to compare this movie. I'm going give in and also do it. I say that I like Mall Cop a little better because its a little more real compared to Observe and Report. I don't want to judge Seth Morgan yet but he does a lot better in a movie than staring in one as the main charter. I think I will have to say you might want to wait for this to come out on dvd before you spend your movie money.

Fighting

Well, lets talk about this movie "Fighting". The movie stars Channing Tatum, pretty boy Terrence Howard and with the hot chick role Zulay Henao. I can confess, like most people in America, I thought this was gonna be another Karate Kid or Never Back Down. It wasn't as bad as I assumed it was gonna be.

The movie is about a young street kid who moved to New York from somewhere down south. To start over his life, I don't want to get into details about it. I don't to mess the movie up for anybody that wants to see it.

Something that really got to me was the way Harvey Boarden (Terrence Howard) talked all through the movie. I don't know why it just didn't sound real to me. I haven't seen Channing Tatum play in nothing else so I really can't judge him on his acting. This movie he did pretty well in I guess for a movie about fighting and being the fighter.

To sum it all up, if your just a movie fan and if you like fighting movies go see it. I'm not saying it's going to go down in history but it's worth your money.
