| The Princess Diaries G I found this movie lying around the house, so I popped it in when no one was watching. I remember my cousin, Bubba, telling me he liked the movie after he saw it a year ago. And he�s a pretty cool kid so I trusted his judgment. So there�s a nerdy girl who�s 15 (I think the girl who plays her is really in her twenties) that finds out she�s a princess. So her grandma has her get all proper and pretty because she doesn�t want some shmuck taking over the throne. Of course once she�s on top of the world she starts to treat her nice friends like crap and goes with the �A-crowd� because she can. Then at the end she makes up with everyone (except the jerky �A-group�) and becomes�..oh wait, I shouldn�t ruin the end of the movie, even though the title of the movie gives it away. I�ll just say the cat, Fat Louis, doesn�t die of the Ebola virus. The movie had its funny parts. The laughs are much more plentiful then any �comedy� in the theaters right now. This movie is great if you love those girl movies: mary kate and Ashley or any other Disney movies that they show all over the Disney channel (Zenon anyone?). These movies are great cause of all the cool plot twists���not really, but they are guaranteed to grab the attention of me and of course my brother cause they have girls. Jeepers Creepers hey joe here, i'd like to thank eric for letting me do a guest review. Jeepers creepers is, well, the dumbest horror movie i've ever seen. let me give you a synopsis of the plot. boy and girl see man throwing bodies down a gutter. man sees kids and chases them down a road. kids get away and go back to the gutter. boy falls down gutter and sees dead bodies plastered on the wall. very nasty. so then they spend the rest of the time running away from the demon guy. finally the demon guy takes the boy and kills him and eats his eyes. cool huh? no. the fact that the demon guy made out with the head of a police guy's head he chopped off is disgusting enough. i don't recommend this movie for the weak stomached, but if u don't care its sort of a comedy. Zoolander by joe This is a pretty funny movie. a stupid male model is brainwashed to kill the prime minister of malaysia. so the model and his friends try to find out how they can stop himself from killing the prime minister. dumb plot but hey. i'd say the greatest scene was when zoolander(the male model) was with his friends at a gas station. they started to have a water fight. zoolander walked off to look at a magazine. the guys decide it would be fun to spray gasoline at each other. zoolander turns around to see his friend going to light a cigarette. he tries to stop him but fails. the kid lights his cig and blows the place to smitherines. great stuff there. i recommend this movie cause it has some pretty funny parts. i wouldn't say its for the kids though. peace and i'll keep looking really really rediculously good looking. Ice Age Review There�s something about computer animated movies. Maybe they�re all so good because the animators don�t wanna waste their time and money on something that�s only half good. So computer animated movies are less frequent, but much higher quality. Well enough on my thoughts about computer animation. Ice Age has four main characters: Manford (looks like that shaggy elephant on Sesame Street), Diego, a saber-toothed tiger that acts too melodramatic(is that the right word?), Sid, the funniest of all (I don�t even remember what he is anymore), and Sqrat (a mix between squirrel and rat). Sqrat has nothing to do with the storyline, but he�s a nice transition from scene to scene. You know what? I use �funny� and �hilarious� way too often when I describe comedies, so I�ll make up a new word to use: spoonilonius. Ice Age is spoonilonius. The one thing that I couldn�t stand was the human animation. They looked like they were made of clay. Is that how cavemen looked? Weezer probably PG-13 if CD�s had ratings The first time Joe made me listen to their CD, I thought Weezer sounded like�well, crap. A few months later I heard one of their songs on a Mary Kate and Ashley movie (I wish I could say that I�m kidding) and I liked it. So I listened to Joe�s CD on a short road trip. That�s when I knew I was in love�er�I liked the sound or something. So a few weeks later, I bought their 1996 Pinkerton CD. It�s pretty sweet even though it�s old. I�m guessing Weezer is punk, maybe I�m wrong. Some of the songs have an annoying, hypnotic, brain-washing background sound, but it�s all good. The songs are all pretty creative and funny. I only wish ere were more tracks (only ten)! So if you have an extra $15 dollars burning a hole in your wallet or you have no regard for copyright laws (yeah neither do I, but the quality usually stinks) then buy or burn yourself a copy. Andy Richter Controls the Universe This is a show about a guy named Andy. He writes manuals for a company, but underneath his boring career his show is very entertaining. Not because his life is, it�s mainly his imaginative daydreams. They�re kinda like Scrubs� daydreams but without all the boring stuff in between. I�ve only watched the first show (although I did see it one and a half times, that makes me a reliable resource), but so far it looks like I�ll be planning my schedule around this show, like Scrubs. And learning the casts� names should be easy (I�ve already got a head start since Andy�s name is in the title). I�ll keep my eye on this one and so will you now that I told you to. Am I right? Word out. The Amazing Race 2 First of all this is more of a reality show then a game show, although it�s technically not either. The game has rules and the winners win a half mill. Each team of two must complete each leg of the race with a limited amount of money. They race all over the world by following clues to each destination. It�s really pretty cool to watch these guys fight within their own teams or to see them tick the other teams off. Sure nobody likes a cheater, but it really makes the game more interesting, and it gives me somebody to hate. Like a nemesis, except they wouldn�t be my nemesis. Oh well, it doesn�t even matter. I guess I�ll shut up now, my brain wants some sleep�only an hour or five before I go to sleep. Mmmmmm��.sleep. Scrubs TV-14 Yup, yup, yup. I�m not really sure why I started watching this show. The previews didn�t even look that funny, but I started watching it from the season premier. It�s kinda like a CD for me. I listen to it once, skip all the dumb songs. Then I listen to it over and over until I like the songs that I used to hate. That�s kinda how Scrubs works. It�s humor is an acquired taste. Now every week I watch those funny doctors. I still don�t know everyone�s name. But do names really matter? I don�t think so. Here�s how I know them: dorky doctor girl, the guy who had Alex ([sigh] may she rest in peace) until he discovered her drug problem, janitor guy, old cranky head doctor dude, Turk, and Turk�s girlfriend. The guy who had Alex and the janitor are my favorites. I love this show and I wish it many laughs and hopefully many seasons. Crossroads PG-13 Some like her, some hate her. Me? Well, I liked her enough to see her first movie. I first heard about it earlier this winter, and heard it would probably suck. Of course I agreed it probably would, and I decided that I wouldn�t waste my time or money to see it in theaters. But this month, after see the previews, and dumbing down my whole reason for not seeing it, I decided I wanted to see Crossroads starring Britney Spears (besides, there�s not too much to do in Michigan, and I wasn�t paying for the movie ticket). The story is pretty dumb, but I guess no ones going for the movies plot (at least no guy). The most annoying part in the movie is when the chicks start singing along to the radio in the car (I hate when girls sing along to the car radio in real life only slightly more). It�s not really that funny of a movie. The funniest and least creative part is when they stick that �I�m not a Girl� song into the movie. Of course Britney Spears is a huge step up from those nasty Michigan girls, so I really enjoyed the movie. Overheard conversation in Men�s bathroom after the movie: �What I waste of $6.50.� �At least you got to see Britney Spears in her underwear.� |
