This movie was one of those quirky comedies where the dialogue is what makes the movie funny. I thought it started out great. John C. Reilly and Jonah Hill were very funny, and I thought Marisa Tomei was perfectly cast. Then by the one hour mark, things started to get awkward and weird. It just got uncomfortable to watch, so I just zoned out.

I think you all know what this movie is about already, so I won't go too much into the plot. I was looking forward to this movie until I realized it was nearly 2 and a half hours long. That's just too long for a 'chick flick.' However, the movie was great until she flew to India. For some reason, after that, it was just too much for me, and I decided to zone it out. The movie was just becoming too indulgent and melodramatic. Seriously, if you watch this movie, stop it at the 1:10 mark, and you'll think it's a great movie. I did love Julia Roberts in the role though.

This is an older movie from 2007. It's another scary Halloween based movie. However, it was probably one of the scariest movies I've seen in a while, and definitely one of the best Halloween movies. The movie is about 4 separate plots that is interwoven and converge at the end. You should watch this in the dark, on a big screen, with a surround sound system. The first 15 minutes is the best part of the movie, but the rest is also very enjoyable. Recommended!

I didn't like this Shrek installment. It felt like it should have been a TV or direct-to-video movie. The plot is basically Shrek missing his single ogre days, runs into Rumplestiltskin and makes a wish where he could go back in time. The movie didn't really progress Shrek's life. It was a "what-if" movie. The movie was still slightly funny if you're a Shrek fan, but if you don't watch it, you're not missing out on much.

I've never seen the anime, but it had to have been better than this. Man, this movie was just awful. I fell alseep 15 minutes in, woke up at 30 minutes, and fell asleep again. I eventually woke up at 50 minutes and decided it wasn't even worth taking a nap to. Stay away from this one!

This movie reminded me of "In Bruges" where the movie is set in Europe, and it's basically a drama/thriller. Clooney plays a guy who is hired to make a gun for an assassin. Sure, it sounds interesting, but it's a very slow movie with minor action here and there, just like "In Bruges." If the movie didn't star Clooney, it definitely would have flopped.

I've been a fan of this series for a while now, and this one didn't disappoint. I didn't watch it in 3D, and I'm sure it would have made it a little better, but overall, I still enjoyed the movie in 2D form. This one is the 4th installment; it continues where the last one left off, where the entire world has been infected with zombies except for a few survivors. Also, it's been 8 years since the first one, but Milla Jovovich still looks hot. And even Ali Larter looked good too. Just a mindless fun 90 minutes. I recommend if you've watched the entire series like I have.
