Stubby Movie Review: How to Lose Friends & Alienate People
Good silly start, strong hilarious middle, MEH cheesy end, worth a looksie overall. It has a solid cast that includes Simon Pegg, Jeff Bridges, Kirsten Dunst, Gillian Anderson, and a fugly Megan Fox. Bunch of LOLs all around. Also, SIMON PEGG IS KING! HE IS THE KING OF ALL THAT YOU KNOW! BOW DOWN TO HIM! BECAUSE HE IS KING!
Stubby Movie Review: Sex Drive
Judging from the title of the movie, I didn’t really expect much going into it. “Just another Apatow-ish American Pie wannabe” I thought. That’s probably why I enjoyed it more than I should have. We’ve all seen this teen sex comedy plot before. We’ve seen these characters and similar situations many times already. But being unoriginal isn’t necessarily a bad thing if your execution is right on the money. The formulaic movie did its job of giving me the LOLs through fantastic performances by the cast, especially Clark Duke, Seth Green and James Marsden. Also, any movie with a giant talking Mexican donut is OK in my book.
Stubby Movie Review: Monsters vs. Aliens
I have to admit, I’m not a big fan of Dreamworks animated features. Sure, I enjoyed Ice Age and Shrek the first time I saw them, but it got old fast. Whenever there’s a new animated movie from Dreamworks, I go “MEH”, except when I heard about Monsters vs. Aliens. If you know me or if you’ve read my blog before, you’d know that a movie with a title like that will totally get my attention. It’s a complete joy to hear the voices of Jack Bauer, Dr. House, George Oscar Bluth, that creepy guy from The Office, and Stephen frickin’ Colbert working together to bring the noise. The noise of LOLs. Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogen, and INSECTOSAURUS do their part too. The plot is as simple as the title, but it’s all about the kinetic energy between the actors and the deliciously funny gags. All in all, it’s just a fun movie that I will definitely enjoy seeing over and over again.
Stubby Movie Reviews: W. and Punisher: War Zone
Last night, I finally saw two movies I’ve been meaning to see for months now. I don’t know why, but I just couldn’t fit them into my busy schedule which is usually full because of my need to watch One Tree Hill, Lost, Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire, and 24. I digress.
First, I saw Oliver Stone’s George W. Bush biopic, “W.” It’s a fascinating movie that shows us glimpses of Dubya’s eventful life, from his frat boy days up to the invasion of Iraq. I thoroughly loved the cast and their magnificent performances, especially that of Josh Brolin. Man, there were moments that I thought I was watching a documentary. He knocked it out of the ballpark, this role. The movie kind of fell flat near the end, but it definitely made me appreciate, if not respect, the Bush family more. Also, props to Thandie Newton for an enjoyable Condeleezza Rice performance.
Stubby Movie Review: Afro Samurai – Resurrection
This movie just reminded me why I have a love-hate relationship with anime. First, let me tell you the things that I like about Afro Samurai: Resurrection:
- a be-afroed samurai dude who cuts up people like they’re nothing
- a samurai dude wearing a teddy bear head
- a group of vengeful cyborg samurais
- a hot psychotic chick with huge knockers
And now for the things I don’t like:
- EVERYTHING ELSE
I mean, seriously. I love the crazy characters and the awesome battles, but I just can’t stand all the posturing and the looooooooooong repetitive monologues. Oy. It was annoying.
