The Bounty Hunter 2010

The Bounty Hunter 2010

I am really surprised that they got Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston to do this movie. I understand it was a “safe” movie for them to do but it flopped anyways. Now do not get me wrong it is not that they are bad actors or anything because they did do a really good job. It was just that the story is sooo cliche and sooo boring. There just is no value behind the movie. It is the typical romantic comedy.

What I did like about the movie was Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston. I mean you have this kick ass dude that just destroyed dudes in 300 and turns around to play a lovable teddy bear. This guy has amazing talents. The really really funny that I have noticed and it might just be me but he does an action flick and them does a romantic comedy flick. Not sure if anyone else has noticed but to me that is what I see. Please call me out if I am wrong. Then we have Jennifer Aniston which really does nothing these days but is so FINE. She really gets in to this character but as she starts to do a good job in the movie it seems like she is distracted by something. Almost as if she was too good for this type of thing.

Taking in the consideration of this bad ass dude and this fine chick, that was really the only thing holding The Bounty Hunter up. Not only was it filled with no names and a sort of retarded story line, it had also flopped pretty hard. I really think this movie would have been better off with a little bit more uniqueness and a with no name actors or some people in the ‘B’ or ‘C’ area. Regardless I am sure they just wanted to make money on this one, so they pushed it out like a bad turd.

As always please, I beg you, go make your own god damn mind up about this movie. I do not care that I even thought that it was shit but if you are 14 year old girl that is brainless as shit or a person that has no depth in movies you might like it.

Knocked Up 2007

Posted by Ross | Posted in Comedy, Movie Reviews, Romantic | Posted on 01-04-2010

Going along with the theme from yesterday I am bringing back another comedy/stoner movie. Knocked Up was one of those movies that you just saw the previews and said “WTF?! Why do they make this shit?”. I waited all the way until this came on one of the premium channels on the satellite (HBO, Stars?). Well I was a dumb ass and should have watched this movie as soon as I could.

The movie centers around this guy, Ben Stone (Seth Rogen), who is a big time stoner that is trying to make it big with this genius idea of a porn website that features nude areas in famous films. On top of that he is basically a loser because of this and only gets laid far and few in between. The other side of the film is centered around this hot chick, Alison Scott (Katherine Heigl), that has an amazing career but has no life outside of work. Her and her sister, Debbie (Leslie Mann), decide to go out on the town to get away from Debbie’s husband, Peter (Paul Rudd), and kids. What happens after that is some of that is some of the funniest stuff I have ever seen a romantic comedy. Yes I said it, this IS a romantic comedy. Do not let that fool you like it fooled me, this film features some ass people: Kristen Wiig, Alan Tudyk, Harold Ramis, Jonah Hill, Martin Starr, Jason Segel, and Jay Baruchel.

So please go see this movie if you have not seen it by now. You will laugh your ass off at this one. It is filled with classic lines. Plus if you have ever gotten high in your life, it will be ten times funnier. Do not let the romantic comedy feel of the movie fool you, these guys do not make it seem like it is one.

Did You Hear About the Morgans? 2009 Review

Once again I have confirmed why I am not a fan of Sarah Jessica Parker. Did You Hear About the Morgans? was not exactly the movie you enjoy watching, period. Lots of dry and upsetting acting going on between Sarah Jessica Parker and her co-star Hugh Grant. Do not get me wrong Hugh Grant is not a bad guy but lets be honest he is out of the game. When was the last time he was in a good movie and did a good job, ohh yeah NEVER.

Did You Hear About the Morgans? is your typical romantic comedy. A broken up couple goes through a horrifing event and is forced to spend time together. Guess what happens? Yup you are thinking it right now. Just think of the 500 other romantic comedies that have come out over the past 2 years, it is exactly the SAME. I am not sure why producers, directors, and actors get away with making crap like this. I know its the old method why fix it if it is not broken, well it is FUCKING BROKEN!

Just go see this shit for yourself and you will see what I mean. I actually found myself checking the time while watching this movie to see when it was over. I had to do some important things on the Internet, so time was extremely crucial at that point in my life. Reddit is serious biz these days!

P.S. Here is a mug shot of Hugh Grant from 1995 when he solicited a prostitute.
