Obsessed

HOT FUZZ - Been watching a lot of British comedy lately, what with RUN, FATBOY, RUN and the HARRY POTTER movies tickling my fancy. That's what she said. Hot Fuzz stars the same witty Brit from the Fatboy movie, Simon Pegg. That guy's a hilarious chap. Maybe you won't think so, but that guy cracks me up for some reason. This movie's about an incorrigible, big-time city (London) cop who gets transferred to the countryside where there's absolutely no crime. That doesn't stop him from enforcing his brand of justice though. This is where the humor lies. An anal bobby with nothing to do? Well, alright, then. There's also a lot of cop-movie references that you'll find yourself chuckling at. Believe it or not, although this is definitely a comedy, it has a lot of heart-pounding action and graphic, bloody violence, especially towards the end. Give this movie a chance. I'm glad I did. Definitely one of those movies where, by the end, you'll be like, "that was pretty good..." A sleeper. Think SHAUN OF THE DEAD with cops and senior citizens. That is, if you've seen that movie. Also, good, by the way...

HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU - Not feeling it. How can a movie with that many stars NOT be the best romantic comedy of all time? This is the New York Yankees of romantic comedies. Gotta admit though, I liked the Ben Affleck/Jennifer Aniston couple. And, of course, Scarlett Johansson looked good strutting her curvy self all over the big screen. She's kinda thick, in a good way. Jennifer Connelly somehow plays the nagging wife character pretty damn good, too. Other than that, that main character/narrator girl was irritating as hell. Who the hell would be into somebody that desperate and clueless? Not that I'm an expert, but most of the male stuff seemed pretty accurate. Maybe it was because I didn't seem all that interested in the little separate stories and how they all connected. I don't know. Something just didn't seem right. Not terrible. I just expected more, I guess. Maybe girls like this kinda movie. Seemed like I was watching a movie based on a Cosmo article...

FAST AND FURIOUS - They're baaaaaack! And all you ladies can wet your panties. Pretty much the same stuff as the original, but I still found it quite entertaining. They should've replaced Jordana Brewster with Megan Fox. Just to give the series some spice. Don't know what to say. If you like cars, racing, and Spanish people, this might be worth the rent. If you need any excuse to watch Vin Diesel and Paul Walker do their thing, you may count this as foreplay. Where the hell has Diesel been anyway? Working on THE PACIFIER 2? The problem with this type of movie is that the more spectacular the stunts are, the more unbelievable it gets. Then, all you've got is SPEED RACER on nitro. Sometimes, when I'm driving my Corolla, I feel like getting all fast and furious wanting to weave through that damn morning traffic. My lack of hubcaps severely handicaps my ability to Tokyo drift though. Hope this is the last movie. He'll probably Sly Stallone it and revisit his other movie franchises (XXX, PITCH BLACK)...

OBSESSED - Can you say, "MEEEEEOOOOOWW!!" Nothing better than an Oreo catfight!! Despite being pretty bashed by critics, this movie was pretty damn good. Onscreen hotties Ali Larter and Beyonce? Come on!! Can't turn down a movie like that. The only thing disappointing was that nobody took their clothes off. All that sexy lingerie and slinky dresses just to c@cktease. They might as well have had Jessica Alba in here, too. This movie, while predictable in genre, still managed to entertain us along the way. Reminded me of those FINAL DESTINATION movies where you know everybody's going to die, but it's how they die that grabs you and slams you on your a$$. Beyonce, in particular, plays ghetto better than Halle Berry does, in my humble opinion. Too bad she didn't go all MONSTER'S BALLs-out. Let's call this FATAL ATTRACTION with a sexier touch. Besides, who in their right mind would go after Glenn Close anyway?

THE MESSENGERS 2: THE SCARECROW - This movie may be the $hittiest movie I've seen in awhile. And, let me tell you, the $hitstack of movies pile really high in this house. I don't even know why I thought this sequel would be any good. I think I was just jonesing for a horror flick and just forced this one. The only thing fairly good about this movie was that they had some tig-ol-bitty girl showing her crops in the cornfield and later on, she got all busy with the main character for whatever reason. Half the time, I didn't even know what was going on. I just waited for that girl to come back onscreen. Oh yeah, and there was something about a scarecrow killing everybody going on. JEEPERS CREEPERS all of a sudden seems like the best horror movie ever made...


Okay. Been awhile. Back in school. Less time to watch movies. Maybe in my depressed, furloughed state I'll be watching more later...
