Leatherheads

Point I Fell Asleep: ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Primetime
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379865/

This was one of those movies where as you're watching it, you keep checking your watch to see when it was going to end. Rene Zellweger has gotten too old to be quirky and funny. George Clooney needs to stick to action movies because he's too sarcastic to be in a comedy, if that makes any sense. And the guy from the Office just needs to stick to TV. Even if this movie came on TNT, I'd recommend you chang the channel. That's how bad it was.

Sex and the City

Point I Fell Asleep: ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Primetime

So I was a big fan of the TV show and had heard good things about the movie. The movie basically left off where the TV show ended, which was great. That's why I loved the first 15 minutes. And then I loved the last 5 minutes. The 2 HOURS in between, however, were just blah. It was just like watching 4 episodes of the TV show back to back. You know it's bad when you start thinking to yourself, "Man, when is this movie going to end?" Seriously. This show did NOT need to be 2:20 hours long. It should have been 1:45, and it would have made for a better movie because of the shorter length. By the way, that Mr. Big is one smooth cat. And it's great because he has an asshole side of him too. If you're a big fan of the show, then you sorta have to watch the movie. But if you know nothing about the show, you'll definitely want to pass.

***** SPOILER ALERT *****

Seriously? Did I need to waste 2:20 hrs of my life to get back where we started from? The movie could have seriously ended 15 minutes into the movie. But of course they had to make Big break up with her, because that's what he does. And then the whole Steve subplot wasn't that great either. I actually wanted to see more of the 2 gay guys since they were the funniest part of the movie. I should have just watched the first 15 minutes and turned it off.

Yes, this is an actual movie. I don't remember it ever hitting the theaters, so it must have went straight to video. Let's face it. The only reason I watched this was for Hayden Panettiere. That and the male lead was Asian. This movie turned out to be the Asian male's version of "Joy Luck Club" if there's such a thing. I swear it had every Asian male stereotype in the movie. I don't want to ruin this movie, but if you're an Asian male, you have to watch this movie. Oh, did I mention the gorgeous Kelly Hu is in it too?

You Don't Mess with the Zohan

Point I Fell Asleep: 1:30 out of 1:56 (78%)

So this movie was actually quite hilarious. Granted you can't watch this movie straight else you'd think it was the stupidest movie ever made. But if you come into the movie with little expectations, I think it'll surprise you how stupidly funny it was. Oh yeah, and for the people who have seen this movie, I have a shirt almost exactly like the one he wears (silk purple pastel.) So embarrassing. I may have to Ebay the shirt now. The movie is definitely worth a rental though.
