WOW-WATCHMEN

Ummmm, can we talk for a second about how EPIC the Watchmen trailer is? It looks like it is going to be absolutely amazing! I assumed that it was Frank Miller, but i was mistaken it will be Zack Snyder-the director of 300, close enough. It looks beautiful, and has a good cast to boot!

Eagle Eye yay yay this movie sucked.

I know this movie came out like three months ago, so its a little late, but i can warn you just in time to avoid the DVD. This may be the worst movie Ive seen since Leatherheads. I'm sorry but i really dont think Shia makes a great leading man, just because you booked the 4th and shittiest Indiana Jones movie, doesn't make you Harrison Ford. I vote Shia quirky sidekick for life. First off, O-V-E-R DRAMATIC doesnt even sum it up. It really hurts my soul to watch actors in crying/screaming scenes, getting all riled up, when the movie sucks so much dick i dont care at all. Shia really came off as a douche in this one, it had that whole Denzel Washington, arrogant "i'm a hero" vibe. I'm fucking over movies about technology taking over, its possible, i know, i get it, but that story line will not blow my mind, so give up, its over, youre not original. I guess this movie sort of knew it sucked, because when in doubt, blow up cars. There were probably over 1,000 innocent bystandards killed in the course of this movie, there were atleast five 30 car pile ups. Why does Billy Bob Thornton keep doing such horrible movies? He's won an oscar for god sakes! Moral of the story, Shia-act humbly in your choices and reamain a sidekick, Billy Bob- gimme a little more Monsters ball, a lil' less Mr. Woodcock. All i could think the entire movies is OH COME ON!

Yes, i dug this movie, Man

Tonight, the movie on deck was YES Man. I didn't really have any expectations going in, except thinking it would just be a tweaked version of Liar Liar. It blatantly followed the same plot line; Jim Carrey's character is a dick at the beginning, but when forced to do nothing but (in this case) say YES to every opportunity that comes along, his life is changed for the better. Apparently the very night you start saying YES to everything, you end up on a scooter with Zooey Deschanel! Who is (As always) delectably adorable, refreshingly unaffected by her coolness-which is exemplified when we see her in the film singing in an all girl band called Munchausen. Jim Carrey is funny as hell as always, although his face has grown older from all of his contortionisms over the years. I must say i was pleasently suprised by this one, it had that perfect Judd Apatow-esque comedy/romance ratio, where just before you think you want to barf (or cry if youre single) they make you laugh. I must say I'm not shocked since the writer, Nick Stoller directed one of my personal faves, Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Everything the Apatow gang touches, turns to gold. So if youre not in the mood to kill yourself skip: Milk, The Reader, and Doubt, but if youre looking for something light hearted, that will inspire you to go do something fun with your life, go see YES MAN!
