Discopants and Haircuts

I have seen a litany of films lately due to having  some time off.

Also, I have been reading some past posts and have come to the conclusion I am a freak case. Just remember that even the great oak was once a little nut. I think it may have come from eating too many MREs, long ago.

Back to the topic… Some good films. I’ll even give them fuckin’ stars for ya. (outta 5)

The Illusionist- ***** Extremely entertaining. I highly recommend it for a nice Saturday Evening with the Misses.

Meet the Robinsons- **** Yes I saw it. I have kids man! Just like the Incredibles, it is enjoyable for parents to watch with the kids.

300 ** I give it 2 only because after I finished watching it I sat and realized how utterly stupid it was. The violence was extremely enjoyable.. Almost mesmerizing… Very Matrix like. I suppose if you drive a Hummer, like to pump iron, think everyone is a pussy and have a small penis, this is a five star film.

Casino Royale- **** - I finally feel like someone did a Bond film right. I loved every minute of it. Does the new Bond remind anyone of Steve McQueen?

The Pick of Destiny- Tenacious D ****- Four stars for a fun, mindless, cool film. Good music, good story, good laughs, and lots of drug use..

Whale Rider- **** Pretty cool little film from New Zealand …I believe. What really got me was how well that little girl could act.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.. TMNT- ** Sucked.. really it did..

Wild Hogs -* Maybe it was really funny to some people. I am sorry.. I just didn’t like it at all. Sure, mindless fun.. I get it. W.H. Macy may be the only one who deserves a thumbs up. I honestly like dumb films too.. But this whole middle-age, trying-to-find-yourself-again crap makes me want to believe there are secret organizations spewing this filth only to pacify and ‘teach’ the masses about how to properly deal with getting older. I envision, 20-30 years down the road, a surplus of untouched Harleys at multiple estate sales. Check your local want ads. Where’s my tinfoil hat?
