Below are my movies of
the week:
January 13
The
Big Year (Directed by David
Frankel) In my opinion, an underrated movie featuring 2 really good/funny
actors and Owen Wilson. It is more than just a movie about bird watching.
Seven
Psychopaths (Directed by Martin
McDonagh) Twisted, Dark and Funny! Great cast and a perfect for my dark sense
of humor.
Justice
League: Crisis on Two Earths (Directed by Sam Liu & Lauren Montgomery) Enjoyable comic
movie with a good plot. Much better then Green Lantern: Emerald Knights
January 14
Shaun
of the Dead (Directed by Edgar
Wright) Simon Pegg & Nick Frost at their best in a Zom-Com. This is still
one of funniest Zombie I have ever seen. This was my introduction to Simon Pegg
and I am still hooked on him to this day. There will be many more Edgar Wright
movies on this list.
January 16
Dante's
Peak (Directed by Roger
Donaldson) James Bond and Sarah Connor take on Mother Nature in the better of
the 1997 Volcano disaster movies. The special effects are a bit cheesy but they
aren’t as unbelievable as Disaster movie director Roland Emmerich.
January 17
Fever
Pitch (Directed by Bobby
Farrelly & Peter Farrelly) I am a sucker for baseball movies, especially
ones with a fun cast. The "true" backstory behind the Red Sox 2004
season the saw them come from behind to beat the Yankees all because of love. I
also enjoy seeing the Ney York Yankees lose.
January 18
School
of Rock (Directed by Richard
Linklater) 10 years later and this Jack Black comedy is still one of his best movies.
The students and soundtrack are as important to this movie as Jack is. The
classroom had all the types of kids I remember from school, especially the band
manager kind. The music in this movie has a very Rock nostalgia feeling.
January 19
The
Hollywood Complex (Directed by Dylan
Nelson & Dan Sturman) Another Get Up On This Podcast recommendation that
makes me grateful I never got the acting bug. Documentary focuses on numerous
families living in the Oakwood Apartments during Pilot season in Hollywood.
This movie covers a bunch of different family dynamics and different parental
types from the Momager type to the genuine supportive type. This film did a
great job showing how parents can go way too far at times (Making a child
sleep under a snack table because there are no beds) and how 1 hit childhood
star (Tami Erin from Pippi Longstocking) still believes she is an A list actor
25 years later. Did you know Corey Feldman won a lifetime achievement award?
No
Holds Barred (Directed by Thomas
J. Wright) It is Rocky for Wrestling fans, but much worse. It is on par with
Rocky 5. I first saw this movine in 1989 because I was and still am a big
wrestling fan. The plot is very weak and the dialog is Razzie worthy. But I
still get a kick out of seeing Hulk Hogan, Zeus, Jesse 'The Body' Ventura and
'Mean' Gene.Okerlund. This movie is perfect for the kid that is still in me.
Sex
and the City (Directed by Michael
Patrick King) How was this TV show on for 6 years? Why did they have to make a
2 and a half hour movie 4 years later? Why did they make a sequel? This will be
the first and only time I EVER watch this movie. Part of me cheered when Noth
bailed on the wedding. I know this TV Show/Movie is not geared towards me at all
but seriously, this was popular? Thanks to my friend Amanda for requesting this
2+ hour torture session.
Caddyshack (Directed
by Harold Ramis) CLASSIC!!! How can you go wrong with Rodney Dangerfield, Chevy
Chase and Bill Murray. This was the first time I saw the movie all the way
through without commercials in 15 years and it made me realize I really hate
commercials.
