What's the word on the street? The word around this way is quiet for the moment. I did see Knocked Up this past weekend.
Knocked Up
I saw knocked up this weekend--actually Friday afternoon--and really enjoyed it. It was a heart felt movie that really did well in tackling the topic of early adult existentialism. The laughs were always prevalent. The crowd I saw it with, however, was more amused with the overt. I don't know why so many people lack a keen sense of humor. Judd Apatow and his cohorts have really produced some quality work the last couple years--40 year old virgin, Undeclared, Freaks and Geeks.
Apatow's movies are great in that they take a piece of real life and dress it up with humor--and we can all relate to that.
Seth Rogen is a pretty amusing character as well. I can't wait to see Superbad when it's released in August. Honestly, this has to be the summer of Rogen; he should be top of line before summers end--and Paul Rudd is pretty sweet as well.
MTV MOVIE AWARDS: the parade of comedic mediocrity.
*Robin Williams in a Kilt
*Funnyman Dane Cook being unfunny
*Mike Myers milking his shitass Austin Powers persona for a few minutes
--NOT A FUN EXPERIENCE TO BE HAD...
We will see what I can get done this week...I think I am going to go watch Undeclared on DVD...
Movie(s) of the Day:
Heavyweights:
I remember renting this movie from the Cub Foods video store back in 1994 or 1995. What attracted me to the film was the fact that it was directed by Steven Brill (MightyDucks). Concerning the Mighty Ducks, I must say that it has one of the most pleasing endings for any movie trilogy--ever. The way Bombay walks out of the arena as the Eden Hall Ducks banner is unveiled from the rafters is classic. Anyways, back to Heavyweights: Apatow and Brill wrote this movie for me back in the mid-90's--I was a fat and somewhat misunderstood pre-teen back in those days. Fast forward to 2007 and it seems like Knocked up was written for me--I am twentysomething character who has no direction in life.
Venus
Bought this from the Best Buy a couple weeks ago and have yet to finish it--watched about thirty minutes last week, but I became distracted with life. I like Peter O'Toole--Ruling Class fuckin rules--so I assume I will enjoy the rest of the movie.
