A few short film reviews:
I’ve seen quite a few movies lately but because a couple of them defy any reviews that could be written and because I’m a bit lazy right now, I’m simply going to give a score and a short summary behind the score. That way, I don’t feel like a douschebag for trying to attach a score to The Dark Knight.
Pineapple Express- If you’re going to go over the top, you’d best fucking go over the top. Pineapple Express shows us this. Most people are going into this movie assuming that it is a “stoner flick” in the sense that to enjoy it you should be baked. This is not true. It is a movie about high individuals, not for them. Due to clever dialogue throughout the film, it is better viewed with a clear comprehension of what’s going on. Great movie. Superbly over-the-top.
Overall 9/10
Tropic Thunder- Not as entertaining as Pineapple Express but still very entertaining. Robert Downy Jr. completely steals the spotlight from Ben Stiller… which is fine by me. A very quotable movie. I foresee teenagers crying out, “I’M A LEAD FARMER, MUTHAFUCKA!” and “You don’t never go full retard” for years to come. Ben Stiller was definitely great, if not on par with RDjr. Jack Black was fairly annoying but did at least have one premium line while tied to a tree while undergoing heroine withdrawals. Great cast, good movie.
Overall 8/10
The Dark Knight- Yeah. Believe me, I know. Reviewing this movie is on par with speculation that Bill Gates is in fact wealthy. You all know what I’m going to say. I won’t say it’s my favorite movie ever because it hasn’t had a chance to prove it’s long-term re-playability. But it’s easily in the top 5.
Overall 10/10
Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 2- I was forced under threat of death to go see this movie, I swear. Anyway, all in all a pretty good movie. Being a 21-year-old straight male, I’m not exactly the demographic they had in mind. But while I can’t necessarily relate to estrogen-based humor, I can understand it, and for the most part it was funny. Waaaay too many emotions in the movie though. Somebody tell those women to chill the fuck out.
Overall 6.7/10 (I couldn’t really decide between 6 and 7).
Wall-E- Did I already review this? I can’t remember. Oh well. My favorite Pixar movie to-date. Animation was even better than their usual superb quality, characters were excruciatingly lovable, great story and setting… and as if Pixar needed to prove their brilliance, they pulled most of it off without dialogue!
Overall 10/10
I need to stop writing reviews when I’m tired… I refuse to go back and fix bad writing when my eyes are drooping.
