So Valentine's Day has passed and therefore depression can subside for a good number of people. Hopefully you all are keeping up on my blog, if so then you saw what I did for Valentine's Day. I was able to follow around my good friend, Isaac as he delivered flowers to the lovers of the world. It was a wonderful way to spend the day seeing girls cry over flowers their boyfriend sent them exclaiming "He never does things like this," and Mothers answer their doors with puzzled, startled looks on their face when their daughter receives flowers. All in all, it was a pretty good day. Here is that video if you didn't get to see it.
This week has been so busy that I didn't even get the opportunity to review the movies I went to see last week. Brace yourself for some surprises:
Just Go With It-
Ok, that is it Adam Sandler! You are not allowed to make comedies anymore! Oh, wait, enough people went out last weekend to support this crap that you made over $30 million dollars! So that is why you do it? Oh, I guess I understand. I hate this country!
Alright, I guess I will tell you how I really feel. I hated this movie. First of all, to all of you aspiring filmmakers, any movie that has multiple "hit in the nuts" bits will never earn more than 2 stars. The storyline was dumb, the repeated situations the characters found themselves in were ridiculous.
*SPOILER ALERT* I saw a man give CPR to a sheep and Dave Mathews (yes, that one) pick up a coconut with his anus. Meanwhile the guy sitting behind me in the theater had to repeat every line that was his favorite and slam his feet on the ground every time something "funny" happened. I swear to you all the following things were heard in the theater courtesy of foot stomper:
"Oh my... He's giving the sheep mouth to mouth. I can't believe it!"
"He got hit in the nuts again! (uproarious laughter)"
"This is SO much better than Citizen Kane"
Ok... maybe the last one wasn't said, but I know he was thinking it! The point I am trying to make is this movie was awful. Worst of all, Adam Sandler has these moments in all of his films where he flashes genuine acting talent and it makes me want to throw something at the screen because he is wasting all of our time by doing visual diarrhea like this. But you can't blame the man for making millions after millions by recycling the same jokes and using zero creativity. This movie is terrible, save yourself the two hours and just take a nap.... A much more rewarding experience.
Nathan Star Rating: 1 and 1/2 stars
Never Say Never: *Spoiler Alert* My manhood and any attempt I can claim to be macho will disappear after this review.
I have to admit I had very, very low expectations for this film. I do not consider myself to be a "Belieber." His music is very catchy and I have always thought he was a talented little adolescent. So when I originally heard they were making a documentary/concert film on him, I laughed out loud, watched the trailer, laughed some more and came to the conclusion that this was just a ploy for money and a way to ruin every person's experience at the movies due to the hundreds of screaming girls.
So sitting in the theater with dozens of teenage girls, who obviously were skipping class to see it made me a little nervous. But to sum up my experience, I have to admit, I really enjoyed this movie.
What makes this film work is it isn't a concert movie. It is a documentary of this kid from a small town in the middle of nowhere Canada with amazing musical talent. What won me over with this film was the documentary aspects of it. The filmmaking is extremely creative, the pacing of the film is great and they give you a wonderful idea of how Bieber went from a Canadian kid playing on a street corner at 7 years old to a pop culture sensation.
You fall in love with his family and in the end you can't help but find yourself rooting for this kid to continue his success. Wow, this movie might have given me a light case of Bieber Fever. I recommend this movie to anyone who loves documentaries, pop-culture or teenage pop sensations. You won't be disappointed. After all, you can never say you will never like this movie... Ha... Get it... That was almost as good as an Adam Sandler joke.
Nathan Star Rating: 3 stars
COMING OUT THIS WEEK:
I AM NUMBER FOUR
Early Expectations: Another comic book movie... JUST what we need! The thing that makes me nervous about this film is the lead actor, is it just me or does he look like the worst actor ever in this trailer? Not a good sign. We do have a "Glee" star making an appearance and Tad Hamilton going all beardy on us. Should be interesting. I will be reviewing this for you all next week.
UNKNOWN
Early Expectations: I am a really big Liam Neeson fan but I don't really understand when he decided to become this action star. The actor best known for Schindler's List and not The Phantom Menace has been doing films like this since Taken. I am personally a really big fan of January Jones' looks so that will make this movie enjoyable for sure. It looks interesting, not the most creative plot, kind of Bourne Identity meets well Bourne Identity
Big Momma's House 3
Early Expections: WHY???!!!!!!
Well there you all have it. Enjoy your weekends! And I will see you all next week!
