The Other Guys

5/10

The effects were fantastic. Samuel L. Jackson was hilarious. (SPOILER)I was disappointed that he wasn't in the film for longer. The script was childish, and bit too absurd for my taste. I don't think Will Farrell has ever been funny nor will he ever be. Mark Wahlberg was okay, but the same tough angry guy act he pulls in all of his movies is getting boring. This movie was mediocre and as for a comedic film, it's not on the same level as other outrageous comedies like The Hangover and Superbad.

Easy A

4/10

Another mediocre film; although entertaining. Emma Stone is really an engaging actress. She has a way about her that says confidence without arrogance and she doesn't seem like a typical young Hollywood airhead. This comes off in the roles she plays. Like Mark, though she generally plays similar characters. In this one she continues to do comedic, slutty sort of geeky nice girl who can sing. I didn't believe that a public high school like this exists. Wasn't buying it and the end found resolution too quick. The other actors, for the most part, were pretty bad. Amanda Bynes in particular. I know her character was supposed to be annoying, but damn.


I'm Still Here

5/10

What the hell. I had to see this out of curiosity. Regardless of whether it's real or fake (which I don't really care either way) it had truth to it. I think this film demonstrates effectively how easy it is for stupid things like this to be spread all over the television, internet, etc. whereas more important things hardly get covered in the media. It also shows you how pompous Hollywood socialites can be and some how if you didn't know that already -- after watching this you definitely will. It takes a really egotistical personality to think a movie like this would sell based off a career of an actor alone. If you got someone like Johnny Depp to do this, perhaps it probably would have sold more, but would have still been just as distasteful, yet intellectual. Also, too much unnecessary penis. Kthanx
