forgetting sarah marshall.

Funny. I really enjoyed this movie. It made me laugh a lot. It made me feel a little uncomfortable and it also made me feel really sorry for the guy. There wasn't anything amazing about this movie, if you enjoy comedy then your on the right track. In a way I feel that this movie was lacking something, but I still can't quite put my finger on it. Perhaps the many shots of ass and penis is keeping me from thinking straight.


**SPOILERS**

Before we go on I'd have to say, I think I've mentioned this before, but I cannot stand people who cheat. This is obviously a movie and meant for comical purposes, I still can't help, but over think this and relate it to possible mishaps that can come aright in my life. I truly do sympathize for Peter. I can't say I've ever been that pathetic as he was, but you do feel sorry for the guy. It was funny, but you know...it sucks. I don't even like that Sarah Marshall twat. She played a shitty actress in the movie, which was the whole point, but I guess that's how she really acts in real life movies. Personally I prefer Rachel. Maybe it's just me not liking blondes. Maybe that's it! This whole time I've written bad reviews about actresses was really my hatred for blondes. But no seriously, Rachel is way prettier, and way more down to earth, so I'm glad they got together in the end.

Can someone please tell me what is up with that Russell Brand guy. He's not the worst, but definitely up there. He was funny in this movie, but annoying at the same time. I just don't find him that great, so it's hard to watch him. I do like how he was so calm through out this movie, as if nothing bothered him and everything was just good. Even when Peter called him on the whole cheating thing he's just like "oh yeah...good times".

So like I said, I found some parts of this movie a little uncomfortable, or just weird. The sex scenes I was not a fan of. Usually I don't care, but this was a bit too weird. Like when Sarah Marshall was doing it. Guhhh, I couldn't even watch. Her face was just retarded.

Anyways, this is a great movie. Not as good as 40 Year Old Virgin, but it was still pretty satisfying. If you enjoy comedies, male nudity then this movie is right for you. If you don't enjoy male nudity then you're most likely a guy (who is uncomfortable with their sexuality, shut up, you are.) or a lesbian. But definitely check it out if you already haven't. If not just go watch "Not Another Teen Movie". That's probably more your type of movie anyways.

nick and norah's infinite playlist.

I don't think I'll ever get sick of this movie. I believe at one point I watched it three times back to back. I love the music, I even have it on my ipod, which I listen to every morning on my way to work. This movie is awesome, I love that it's basically them running around New York looking for a band in a secret location. Night life out there seems pretty exciting. We don't have any of that in Vancouver. You might think so, but no. I'm actually a little jealous that Vancouver events aren't like that. Maybe it was played up a bit in the movie, but either way I want it. I want to hang out one day and Steen coming up to me going "DUDE! So and so is playing! BUT I DONT KNOW WHERE! WE HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND BC LOOKING FOR THEM! OH MY GOD AWESOME!" It's like a little adventure.

**SPOILERS**


But I love how in this movie, it was a little adventure to look for Norah's drunk best friend who happened to get lost in one of the biggest cities AND to look for "Where's Fluffy". I also wish that band actually existed, because I'm sure I'd like them and I would totally run around town trying to find them. Now let's get to Michael Cera. If you know anything about me, you would know that I'm a fan of that guy. I wish I knew him and his crappy little car that people mistake for a taxi. I also found his obsession with his ex absolutely hilarious. The beginning of the movie with him leaving a 10 minute message on her voice mail...awesome, and it happens to not go through. I loved it. He plays the hopelessly pathetic really well.

Alright, am I the only one who thinks Tris (Alexis Dziena) is gross? Whenever I see her in this movie, or in any movie I just think, "woof!" She's repulsive! And that retarded dance she does towards the end where she's trying to get Nick to, I don't know, fall for her or something. I just wish that scene wasn't in the movie. I hated it, I hated her dance, it was stupid, and I hate her. Hate is a strong word, but I feel it's okay to use it when it's appropriate. And I feel now is very appropriate. Oh my god and the part before that scene when she's playing with him with her feet. Feet!? Why!? That's gross. Feet are gross, couldn't she just pet him on the head or something and play with his hair like a normal person would. I need to stop talking about her because I'm starting to get a little angry.

I personally found the three gay guys very awesome. They were so cute. Oh, before I forget. Caroline (Ari Graynor) is kinda gross. I don't like girls like that...the party girls who just go out to get sloshed and try to pick up guys. Although in some ways she was cute about it. Some. Like 1%. But the scene where she dropped her gum in the public toilet, where she just had puked in and then puts it back in her mouth...that made me sick. Then Nick and Norah end up chewing it later, oh god, if they only knew. That's just wrong.

Anyhoo, I loved this movie. I loved the soundtrack. I loved the characters, the story, the everything. I love that it took place in one night and a lot can happen in one night and it did. It keeps you interested. It was all simple. It's a very entertaining movie overall. It, it, it, it. I suggest people to watch it, if you haven't already. And if it's not your cup of tea, then I guess we all know what your cup of tea is, and I don't need to bring it up.

mamma mia!

*Sigh* Okay. I'm not too sure what to think. I like ABBA. Go ahead laugh. I don't care. My parents listened to them a lot as I was growing up, so you know what? I grew found of them. So I thought I'd give this movie a chance. It's an alright movie. It's a musical, so if musicals aren't your cup of tea then whatever. I on the other hand don't mind them. But anyways, it's not that bad of a movie. It has a lot of girly parts. Meaning several girls giggling and jumping up and down going, "eee!!" Those parts make me feel a little uncomfortable. The singing parts are very cheesy. VERY cheesy. It almost made me not want to look. The music was fine, because I enjoy it. But the acting during the music...oh boy! It's just something that gives you a little unsettling feeling inside.

If Meryl Streep wasn't in this movie, I'm not sure I would have been able to get through it. I love that woman. Every movie she's played in, she was amazing. She's so energetic and full of life and she pulls you right into the movie. The other characters, uber cheesy. Pierce Brosnan was good. Stellan Skarsgard just kept making me think about Pirates of the Caribbean, and I guess that's why he was cool too.

**SPOILERS**

The story in general was good. Just about a girl wanting to be given away at her wedding, but she had three possible fathers. I like movies with weddings. It makes me a little teary eyed. But on the other hand, it was a little different in this movie. Wedding was cancelled and the mom got married instead, oh and what do you know? Married to one of the possible fathers.

While watching this movie I had a feeling the mom's sisters were going to end up hooking up with the possible dads. What a surprise! The mom gets one, the sister gets one...and I believe the other dad is gay because he disappeared with some guy. Whatever makes him happy.

The blue screen played a big role in this movie as well. Although it wasn't abused like it was in "Australia". I just don't like when blue screen is obvious, it looks cheap and boring.

Oh, can I just say. The guy that was going to marry the main chick...sucha prick. He seemed like a cool guy, but then he gets mad at her for contacting the three guys who could be her father?! What the hell is all that about? He was stupid, I didn't like him at all. Just looked like a douche. You know those people that you see and you don't even need to know them, but you automatically hate their guts? He's one of them. Oh and back to Pierce Brosnan, he can't sing.

Overall, I think this movie was, meh. Too predictable, too cheesy, and too blue screeny. It's definitely not a movie for guys. Girls...a selected few. If it weren't for Meryl Streep and ABBA, I'd scrap this movie.
