The Hangover

Point I Fell Asleep: ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE

I've been waiting for this movie to come out on BluRay for quite a while now. I must say, it lived up to the hype. This now has become "THE guy movie," which means girls won't like it or understand it, but all guys love it. I did however start to nod off at the very end just because it was really late, and the movie did get a slow there. However, the end credits woke me back up like some smelling salts. I just hope Joe doesn't expect one of our bachelor parties to top this movie.

Please tell me why I thought it was a good idea for me to try to plow through 3 movies late at night. Especially with this one of all movies. So the movie started and I said to myself, "Wow, that's Marlan Wayans. I can't believe he's back in showbusiness." Then after literally 2 minutes, I thought I would never utter these words in all my life, but I actually said, "Tyrese should have been in this movie." I proved my point 10 minutes later when they said Marlan Wayans was supposed to be a weapons expert. Hahahaha yeah right. I liked the Sgt. Slaughter cameo too. Too bad I fell asleep before Brendan Frasier showed up. That would have made me laugh too hard to fall asleep.

So I'm watching this movie and going, "Okay, this isn't so bad. Did Katherine Heigl finally make a good chick flick? I don't know why Shyna said this movie was baa....ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZ." Yup, I woke up, my eyes were dry from the contacts and I could not keep them open for the life of me. The movie did not help either. I only remember bits and pieces of it. Yup, thanks Katherine Heigl for making another crap movie.

Man, you just can't go wrong with a Denzel Washington movie. I thought Travolta overacted his part a bit, and the movie would have been totally different if Denzel wasn't in it. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie up until the ending, where it nosedived into a cliff. Read the spoiler for my rant about the ending.

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

First off, gold could not have spiked nearly 1,000% just because a lunatic took over a subway car. Secondly, why even have the commodities premise and him turning 2 million into 300 million if you're going to have him killed anyway? Why is he even walking around, carrying the duffel bag? If I had 300 million banked, why would i risk carrying around a heavy ass bag that only has 3.3 million in it? It's stupid and ridiculous and ruined the movie. Not to mention how easily Denzel caught up to him. You're telling me this average city-paid employee was able to catch up to the criminal? And why was Travolta even walking around on the middle of the bridge? Where the hell was he going? And why didn't he just jump into the river? Just leave the duffel bag and take your chances! Ugh....
