been awhile since i updated so i have a few movies so here we go:
paul- this movie is a different movie than i thought. it had its funny parts but not hysterical ones. however, it is fine. this is not only a comedy movie but a movie that has heart and brains. rogen's voice over for paul is dead on and the characters in the movie shine in their on way. it has surprisingly candid topics for a comedy movie in this age with constant shock and laugh out moments. i recommend this movie but if you expect hangover or pineapple express, you will be disappointed.
hobo with a shotgun- i was surprised thayt out of all of the grindhouse movies since the tarintino/rodriguez gem, this is the best one! it delivers in ALL fronts. senseless graphic violence? check. gratitious nudity? check. over the top villains? check. i also thought the performance was better than a movie like this should have, particularly rutger hauer. this sort of reminded me of a tromaville movie with a slightly better budget and cast but not as campy. highly recommended but the graphic violence is not for everyone.
the fighter- this was as good as advertise. it would be an average rising star boxing movie if it wasnt for christian bale. his performance is borderline genius. he was great from his dialogue delivery all the way down to his personal quirks because of his addiction. the only problem is that it was too GOOD of a performance and kind of shone the light on wahlberg's wooden acting. as a matter of fact, wahlberg was overshadowed by amy adams too. also the boxing choreographing was mediocre at best compared to other movies. even diggstown had better boxing sequences than this movie.
your highness- where the aforementioned paul was a comedy for the brains and heart, this one is for the teen and immaturity in all of us. this is raunchy comedy at its best but set in "camelot" times. its like a cross between american pie and excalibur. whoever made this movie was no doubt a fan of those sword and the scorcerer movies that dominated in the 80's. however, you have americans clearly using awful british accents and cursing up a storm. sounds juvenile but i found it hilarious. it also has some quotable lines. funny movie if you like this genre.
