Youth in Revolt.

What is more awkward than a movie with Michael Cera? A movie with two Michael Cera’s.


After an interesting night of going to the wrong movie theatre, sitting in the wrong theatre, and having our truck broken into I had a privilege of seeing a advanced screening of Michael Cera’s  new flick ‘Youth in Revolt.’

Despite what I thought the movie was going to be like it was actually quite funny. At points the entire theatre was laughing so loud we were missing more jokes. Yes the film had awkward moments what kind of Michael Cera movie would it be without them. In fact it starts with a big one him masturbating in his bed.

My problem is Cera is 21 now and yet he keeps playing 16 year old virgins. He is a great actor and I feel like he is being pigeon holed to play George Michael from Arrested Development. I personally would like to see him play a role closer to his age and that isn’t so much like all his other roles.

The other stars in the movie almost steal the film from Cera. It seems like everyone loves Zach Galifianakis post Hangover despite his years of great standup. Ray Liotta always cracks me up in his comedic roles were he tries to play the some kind of cop. Justin Long isn’t a Mac but he is high on mushrooms. The show stealer for me was one of my favourite actors Steve Buscemi kicking at a car window in his socks leaving foot marks on the window for the entire scene.

If you want to see this movie than go see it and if you don’t than don’t. That is all i've got.

9: A Movie

On Thursday I had a chance to see an advance of the new animated film "9."

I wasn't sure what I was expecting going into the film, but that wasn't what the movie was like. Don't get me wrong the film was good but not great. The animation was excellent, and the idea behind it seemed solid. My main problem was character development and the fact that you think you are going to learn about certain things then you never do.

Watching the trailer you go "Oh produced by Tim Burton? That's going to be dark and neat-o gang." Well it is dark, but clearly made for a younger audience. Although it seemed from what I heard for the most part the adult audience of the full movie theatre enjoyed it except for the ending.

Don't get me started on the corn ball ending.

Pay the money to see this film it was good but be prepared to be a little disappointed with little details.

Inglourious Basterds

I just walked in the door after going to the première of Quentin Taratino’s new film ‘Inglourious Basterds’ and I have to say it was just wonderful.

It’s not often I go to a movie and leave speechless, but just wow.  I won’t say much about the movie other then if you are expecting one thing it is something different. A good different.

If I had to recommend one movie this year ‘Inglourious Basterds’ would be it. I plan on paying to see it again that is how much I personally enjoyed the film.
