Funny People

More info about film

Funnypeopleart

Directed by:	Judd Apatow
Written by:	Judd Apatow
Cast:	Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann, Eric Bana, Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman, RZA, Aubrey Plaza, Maude Apatow, Iris Apatow
Studio:	Universal Pictures
Genre:	Comedy
Official Site:	www.funnypeoplemovie.com

Plot: A struggling comedian hits it rather big when George Simmons hires him to write jokes. The guy is the biggest comedian in showbiz at the moment. He also has issues because he has a kind of a form of leukemia that is soon to kill him. So he's not the most positive guy in the world.

Review:

Apatow's latest feature isn't a comedy. It's a drama, in which most of the only comedy occurs when the comedians are on stage and destroying what real comedy is all about. It's ok that it's not an hilarious epic of massive comedic proportions. It's just... that it's also not that great of a drama... [more]

Plot: A gift card-writing worker falls head over heels for the new receptionist. Her name is Summer. Thus, the 500 day journey is told in this story. The narrator says it's not a love story. But just because he says it doesn't mean that it's true. He's a fucking liar. This is a love story.

Review:

Here's something about independent films that really drives me batshit; when they ADVERTISE that they are independent by the soundtrack... [more]

Weird. I watched The Wackness yesterday, and today I saw Gamer... both have Aaron Yoo. Who? Exactly... [more]

Genre:	Thriller

Plot:

Review:

I seem to follow Kang-Ho Song around. I haven't done many foreign film reviews, but this guy was in The Host, most of The Vengeance Trilogy (don't call it that to the director himself), and a movie that I was very, very close to reviewing called Memories of Murder (Salinui Chueok) (good stuff!). He must be pretty famous in Korea or something. I don't know... [more]

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

More info about film

Potter2fin

Directed by:	David Yates
Written by:	Steven Kloves
Cast:	Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Helena Bonham Carter, David Bradley, Jim Broadbent, Jessie Cave, Robbie Coltrane, Warwick Davis, Frank Dillane, Tom Felton, Michael Gambon, Matthew Lewis, Evanna Lynch, Helen McCrory, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Natalia Tena, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Julie Walters, David Thewlis, Bonnie Wright
Studio:	Warner Bros
Genre:	Fantasy
Official Site:	www.harrypotter.com

Plot: Harry Potter and friends have hormones (not Hermiones - HORMONES) flying all over the place. One young'in after another is either pining after someone, or is making out with another. There's something about trying to find Voldemort, but that's all second to the hormone wars.

Review:

I have grown very tired of Harry Potter and these movies. It started out good, but since the first one nothing's flipped my skirt up. What was all the buzz about Cho Chang if she's completely disregarded and replaced with who-the-fuck-ever else? That's not the only thing that's left unfinished, but for this sixth installment - which is the worst - any previous stuff about who likes who and why has nothing on how much THIS movie relies on that crap. It makes the stuff from earlier seem moot now... [more]

The Final Destination

More info about film

Finallll

Directed by:	David R. Ellis
Written by:	Eric Bress
Cast:	Bobby Campo, Shantel VanSanten, Hayley Webb, Nick Zano, Mykelti Williamson, Krista Allen, Andrew Fiscella
Studio:	New Line Cinema
Genre:	Horror
Official Site:	www.thefinaldestinationmovie.com

Plot: At a car race, a dude has a premonition of a crash that kills him and dozens of others. Then, 8 or so of them become expendable when they walk away from the scene before the crash. Now, more of the same happens from the other installments. Let's just have fun watching people get knocked off in weird ways. That's what this is about!

Review:

With this being titled "THE" Final Destination, I'd think they would have something more to bring to the series. I was assuming there would be one or two more additions to the rules of Death in the series, in a way that would bring things together - even if it wasn't super creative. After all, this is THE Final Destination... [more]

District 9

More info about film

District_nine-fin

Directed by:	Neill Blomkamp
Written by:	Neill Blomkamp
Cast:	Sharlto Copley, Jason Cope, David James, Mandla Gaduka, William Allen Young, Vanessa Haywood, Kenneth Nkosi, Devlin Brown
Studio:	Sony Pictures
Genre:	Science Fiction
Official Site:	www.d-9.com

Plot: 20 years earlier, an alien ship parks over Johannesburg. Instead of coming to really understand or integrate the creatures and their technology with ours, they are segregated into a slum - just like what really happens in Africa with different races of Africans. Get it? Blatant disregard for the lack of humanity of the creatures is reinforced throughout the movie, only to show us - the audience - that they, too, have feelings! And heart! We should learn to not be racially discriminant! Oh yeah, and a dude sprays his face with a black smudge that turns his DNA into a melded version of human and alien, making weapons formerly unusable by humans a possibility for the guy. Here's the irony; he becomes the lab rat! Get it?

Review:

Oh boy... ANOTHER one of those damned movies that everyone loves but me. I'm going to get sideblinded by naysayers all over the movie forums now. I'm going to keep this brief, and loose... [more]
