Alright…I have been in the movie house a good amount these last couple weeks and wanted to share my thoughts about them.
First Viewed: 30 Minutes or Less starring Jesse Eisenberg, Danny McBride, Aziz Ansari, and Nick Swardson. I saw this at a screening in Culver City.
The beginning of the movie I began to have second thoughts about my decision to watch it. But in the end I enjoyed it for the most part. It was a very interesting concept. And was amused to find out there was a real story that was similar to the movie’s plot.
In short, the movie is about Nick (Eisenberg) who is a pizza delivery boy. Two strangers kidnap him, strap a bomb on him, and tell him he has to rob a bank and give them the money or they will blow him up.
Everyone was funny, but the one who stole the movie for me was Ansari as Nick’s friend Chet. To be honest, Ansari could read the dictionary and I would be rolling on the floor laughing. There is just something about him.
I don’t know if the film is worth seeing it in the theatre, but I would say it’s a decent rental.
Second Viewed: Crazy, Stupid, Love starring Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, and Emma Stone.
I have been waiting to see this one for a long time. And it did not disappoint. The story intertwines most of the cast in their different phases of life and their views of relationships and love.
There were things that could have been improved (ask my friend Ka-ryn, she’ll fill you in :-)), but at the end I still LOVED IT! It had its funny moments, heart warming times, and a couple twists.
I would definitely recommend it and I think even most guys would find it enjoyable as well.
And I would not be opposed to Ryan Gosling starring in every film I see. He is in two movies this fall 🙂
Third Viewed: The Help starring Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Octavia Spencer.
The film is centered around 2 main “housekeeper’s” (Davis and Spencer) in Mississippi in the 1960’s. Skeeter (Stone), who is a budding writer decides to write a story from the point of view of the help.
I’m kind of a junkie when it comes to movies like this. Movies that make you sad at times but in the end ultimately inspire. Which is exactly what this one did. Except in definitely included some good laughs. Enjoy yourself some pie 🙂
The entire cast was AMAZING! And if there are not some Oscar nominations I will be highly disappointed. GO SEE IT!!!!
If you’ve seen any of these films and have your own opinion, feel free to share in the comments below. Or if you’ve seen some other movies, what were they? Worth the ticket to the theater? Rental? Or don’t even bother? Would love to hear from you.
Until next time…PEACE OUT!
