My Best Friend's Girl

Point I Fell Asleep: 0:50 out of 1:52 (45%)

Time I Started Movie: Afternoon
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1046163/

Can we officially say that Dane Cook's 15 minutes is up? This movie was not even remotely funny. I don't even know what Kate Hudson was thinking. Her 15 minutes is gonna be up soon too if she keeps doing these stupid romantic comedies that aren't even 1) romantic or 2) funny. Stay away from this movie like the plague!

Taken

Time I Started Movie: Primetime

OH SHIT, don't f*ck with Liam Neeson! Don't ask me how I have this movie on BluRay when it's just about to open in theaters. If you remember from the trailer, the movie is about this daughter being kidnapped and the father has to go find her. Of course you already know what happens in the end, but man oh man, watching the movie just gets your adrenaline pumping because you just place yourself in Liam's character and want to whoop some ass too! Forget Jason Bourne and Bond, Liam's character is one bad ass mofo. Definitely one of the better movies I've seen in a long time.

The Dark Knight

Man, I was so close to staying awake the whole time too... This movie was LONG! However, it didn't actually feel long until the last 15 minutes or so. I don't know. I really enjoyed the movie. I wanted to say it was the best movie in 2008. But I just can't... It's certainly the best comic book movie though. I like how it's very unique compared to those Marvell movies (X-Men, Spiderman, Iron Man, etc). Ever since "Batman Begins," I love the new dark tone to the Batman series. My biggest gripe throughout the whole movie was - Maggie Gyllenhall. C'mon seriously?!? Was that the best actress you could find? Was ANY OTHER ACTRESS IN HOLLYWOOD not available? I just didn't believe every scene she was in. She's just too ugly to be Bruce Wayne's girl. Sorry. She is. My only other gripe was the ending, which I won't give away. The people who have seen it know what I'm talking about.

Burn After Reading

Haha so this movie started off much different than what I expected after seeing all the trailers and previews. By the end, I appreciated "No Country for Old Men" more. The Coen brothers like to skip scenes and let the viewers use their imagination. This movie was so quirky and so weird that I just had to stay awake. Enjoyable? Yeah sorta of. Recommend that you watch? Yeah sort of. Good thing it was only 90 minutes long or else I'd go crazy since it was so....weird. That's the only word I can use to describe this movie.

You know what Will Ferrel reminds me of now? He's like that magazine Maxim. When it first came out, it was a very funny and entertaining men's magazine. Have you opened one up lately? I could go cover-to-cover and not even chuckle once. I'd be happy if it brought a smirk to my face. And that's how I feel about Will Ferrel movies lately. I don't know if I just got older and more mature and don't see his comedy funny and entertaining anymore, or if it's just him. I want to say it's him though. Hmmmmm...

Yeah, this movie sucks. It's like "Transporter" meets "Shawshank Redemption" (minus the touchy feely part) meets that video game "Twisted Metal." I usually like Jason Statham movies, but I knew this movie would suck as soon as I saw Tyrese, who as you all already know, is the WORST ACTOR ALIVE. Ironically though, if it was playing on TNT and you were doing something else like clipping your toe nails, then you could leave it on...

P.S. I Love You

So I like chick flicks as much as the next girl, and this was supposed to be one of those memorable ones like "The Notebook" and my all time favorite "Serendipity." I also remembered that I hadn't watched one since that Keanu/Sandra letter writing pitiful excuse of a chick flick, so I figured I'd fire this bad boy up tonight. The movie is about a widow that receives love letters that her late husband had written her before his death. At first, you're thinking, "Awww how sweet and cute is that..." But then you get to thinking, "Wait...isn't he just torturing her some more since he's just dragging out her sorrow?" Of course the movie only shows you the "Awwww" parts and not the parts where she's miserable in bed, not showering, not cleaning up, crying all the time, etc. I guess you already know how I felt about this movie.... at least I didn't fall asleep right?
