Rating 3 And A Half Stars

7:47p.m. *Cinema — Step Brothers

Step Brothers (2008)

  • I’m ashamed of how much I enjoyed this.

  • Bordered somewhere on the lines of funny and almost horrifying at times.

  • Mary Steenburgen just kicked ass.

  • Kathryn Hahn, who played the older brother’s wife, made the movie for me. I started liking the movie as soon as she showed up.

  • I still can’t believe that I enjoyed this.

2:53p.m. *CInema — Baby Mama

Baby Mama (2008)

  • It’s deeper that I expected.

  • The trailers didn’t do it justice at all.

  • Amy Poehler just kicks major ass. Also, she looks absolutely gorgeous in the scene were we meet her.

  • Greg Kinnear’s part was pretty predictable and flat. There just wasn’t much going on there. I guess I just didn’t buy him.

  • Steve Martin was fabulous.

  • Romany Malco is just great in anything he’s in. However no one spends that much time with their door man. No one.

  • Overall fun and I enjoyed it much much more than I was expecting to.

4:27p.m. *Cinema — P.S. I Love You

P.S. I Love You (2007)

  • Unavoidably, if not stupidly, sad.

  • The whole letter aspect is a great idea though. Though the fact that the letters inevitably end is incredibly depressing.

  • I may never really get Hillary Swank’s appeal.

  • Jeffery Dean Morgan plays a decent Irish Guy.

  • That whole rude Harry Conick Jr. thing was pretty annoying and definitely not attractive.

  • That girl was just drawn to Irish guys. So silly.

4:02p.m. *Cinema — Wristcutters: A Love Story

Wristcutters: A Love Story (2006)

  • Loved the always funny Will Arnett.

  • Enjoyed the idea that once you commit suicide, you end up in another world very similar to the old one you lived in… just slightly worse.

  • I also liked Eugene’s song that played throughout the film.

  • Not bad, not bad.

11:14a.m. *Cinema — Pineapple Express

Pineapple Express (2008)

  • Danny McBride was just plain fantastic. “Thug life.” He made the movie.

  • Rosie Perez was great. She’s getting older, which weirds me out.

  • Seth Rogan and James Franco were both good.

  • Very very funny.

  • Yet I did feel like it was a bit too much of a “stoner comedy” for me in general.

  • Appreciated Kevin Corrigan & Craig Robinson as hit men.

  • The car chase was easily one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Ever.

6:50p.m. *Cinema — Death at a Funeral

Death at a Funeral (2007)

  • Very funny.

  • I think that Alan Tudyk wins 1,000 points for well, everything. Especially for being on the roof nekkid.

  • Thanks to this, and of course Nip/Tuck, whenever I see Peter Dinklage, I think, oh no, the marriage just went to sh*t.

  • So silly. Liked it lots.

9:43p.m. *Cinema — Waitress

Waitress (2007)

  • So many pies.

  • I really really enjoy Keri Russell, as long as she isn’t Felicity.

  • For that matter I also loved Cheryl Hines.

  • Jeremy Sisto did a great job of being a complete asshole. It is definitely a talent of his.

  • Oh god, spontaneous poetry.

  • Absolutely loved Andy Griffith.

  • Having an affair with your OB/GYN = awkward.

  • I hope this is the last unexpected pregnancy movie I see for a while.

  • Have I mentioned all the pies?

7:29p.m. *Cinema — 27 Dresses

27 Dresses (2008)

  • Katherine Heigl is like a much taller Meg Ryan. Queen of the romantic comedy.

  • James Marsden managed to have a leading role, and wasn’t bad at all.

  • Heigl’s hair color in the movie wasn’t flattering at all, but I think that was the point.

  • Some of the gowns were so bad that they were awesome.

  • Had some original lines and original aspects, which was nice.

  • Even the cheesiness wasn’t too corny at most points.

  • Lots of fun.

6:30p.m. *Cinema — Lars and the Real Girl

Lars and the Real Girl (2007)

  • Much better than I was expecting.

  • It also managed to completely keep my attention, despite my expectations.

  • A mix of creepy and sweet, but managed to mostly stay on the side of sweet.

  • Emily Mortimer plays the woman I wish I was, but well, I guess I’m not.

  • Patricia Clarkson was the psychologist I wish I could be.

  • Ryan Gosling was good. He and Emily Mortimer managed to keep things on the sweet side.

  • There was more to it than I expected.

  • I liked how they revealed aspects of the film over time. Very well done.

  • I really really enjoyed it, until the end. Although it was a fine ending, I think it could have been better.

3:29p.m. *Cinema — Secretary

Secretary (2002)

  • I totally appreciated Lesley Ann Warren.

  • Not to mention the fabulous Maggie Gyllenhaal. I thought she did a great job.

  • Pretty good for a film I had to watch in class.

  • Very funny to see Jeremy Davies, who of course is now on Lost.

  • One may to wonder, if Lee just asked Peter if he’d spank her, if she might have be a little more interested in. Of course, he was a complete idiot and she was already crazy about Mr. Grey.

  • Ok, so, that last comment made no sense, but it let me use the word “spank”.

  • I’d like to see what the coloring was really like in the movie. It was all screwed up on the classroom’s projector.

  • Overall it was pretty enjoyable.
