MacGruber

Point I Zoned Out: 0:15 out of 1:30 (17%)
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Afternoon
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1470023/

Fifteen minutes into the movie, I knew I needed to be doing something else.  You can NOT give this movie your full undivided attention or you will be very angry at yourself.  I loved the MacGruber skits on SNL, but it just did not translate well to a full movie.  At the end of every 2 minute SNL skit, MacGruber dies.  That's what made the skits funny.  If he can't die for 90 minutes, it's just not funny.  I eventually turned it off at the one hour mark.  Just don't even bother watching this aweful aweful movie.

Iron Man 2

Point I Fell Asleep: 1:30 out of 2:04 (73%)
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Primetime
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1228705/

I was getting worried there that I hadn't slept during a movie in a while, thus making the premise of this blog irrelevant.  Thank goodness this movie was there to save me.  Let me just say that I did NOT like the first one; I don't know why so many people liked it.  I don't like the character's smugness and arrogance and just didn't find the movie entertaining.  However, when I started watching this sequel, I was thinking to myself, "Okay, it's not that bad.  I might actually be enjoying this."  Then out of nowhere...zzzzzzzzzzz.   By the way, after watching Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johansson back to back, ScarJo dominates Jessica Alba!  She's definitely hotter than Jessica.  If you enjoyed the first one, you may enjoy this one as well.  However, I felt there was just too much CGI in this one compared to the first one, so you may not enjoy it as much.

Jackass 3D

Point I Fell Asleep: ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE
Location: Theater
Time I Started Movie: Primetime
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1116184/

Probably one of the funniest movies I've seen in a loooong time; I was laughing throughout the entire movie.  Of course, you have to be a Jackass fan, or you'd find it gross and reprehensible.  But if you are a fan, you'd enjoy this as much as the other 2 movies.  I thought the 3D was just a gimmick, but it really did add to the viewing experience.  Definitely recommend you watch it but wait for the Netflix rental.

The Killer Inside Me

Point I Fell Asleep: ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Primetime
IMDB: http://http//www.imdb.com/title/tt0954947/

Let's face it.  The only reason I watched this movie was because Jessica Alba was in it.  And she wasn't even that hot in it.  Her character didn't wear makeup and so she wasn't very flattering.  However, she did have some great love scenes in it, but once again, they were all a tease since she doesn't show the goods.  About half way through the movie, my mind started to wander and I contemplated just stopping the movie.  But then, just as I was about to stop it, a plot twist!  So I got suckered into watching it till the end, and then I got angry because it was one of the worst endings I've ever seen.  Just stay away from this movie.

Jonah Hex

Point I Fell Asleep: ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Primetime
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1075747/

Man, this movie started out great!  I loved the premise, the special effects, the makeup on Josh Brolin, Josh's acting, etc.  But then Meagan Fox appeared and the shit hit the fan.  She was NOT needed for this movie; in fact, it would have been better without her.  It immediately started off bad because you could see the airbrushing and Photoshopping (Yes, I know you can't Photoshop video) that they did for every closeup on her face (bad complexion perhaps?).  Then the camera would pan to Josh Brolin and it's "raw" footage.  Anyhow, if you want to enjoy the movie, you should either fall asleep or turn off the movie around the midway point.  Then you'll love it, else you'll hate it.

Get Him to the Greek

You know, there were some funny parts in this movie, and then there were a lot of stupid parts.  The plot had to have been one of the stupidest I've seen in a while - the fat guy has to get Russel Brand's character to a concert in time.  What is this?  "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure?"  The funniest character in the movie happened to be Puff Daddy.  He was like Tom Cruise in "Tropic Thunder."  Every time he was on screen, I laughed.  I don't know...watch this movie when you're under the influence maybe?

Stomp the Yard 2: Homecoming

Point I Fell Asleep: ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Primetime
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1533817/

Definitely the worst dance movie I've seen in a while.  The problem with this sequel is that it didn't have Meagan Good. Sure, watching the dance steps were cool and Twitch added some value to the movie, but the plot line was inferior to the first movie.  It was hard for me to root for the main character; he wasn't personable and you sorta wanted him to fail.  Just a bad bad movie.
