Below are my movies of the week:

Turbo (Directed by David Soren) Dreamworks
has been on the rise for the last few years so hopefully this turd of a movie
doesn't hurt them. I know animated movies are supposed to be imaginative and
out of this world but how did this make it past the idea stage. Besides the
plot the voice acting wasn't up to par either.

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted (Directed by Eric
Darnell & Tom McGrath & Conrad Vernon) After Turbo I decided to watch a
Dreamworks movie that I did enjoy. One thing I like about all the Madagascar
films is they all follow a single sub-plot but the main plot is always
different and fun.

This is What They Want (Directed by Brian
Koppelman & David Levien) Growing up I liked watching Tennis from time to
time. The big names when I was growing up were Agassi and Sampras. One pro that
I always heard about was Jimmy Connors. This 30 for 30 about Connors historic
U.S. Open run at the age of 38 was very interesting. I think it would have been
very cool to be in the stands to watch Connors come from behind to win a number
of his matches.

Ass Backwards (Directed by Chris Nelson) This movie
was so hard to finish. I watched it after hearing about it on a few podcasts
and was looking forward to it. But, right from the start I was not enjoying it.
It didn't make me laugh and the plot itself was very dull.

Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa (Directed by Jeff
Tremaine) I am fairly certain I have watched almost everything to do with
Jackass. I go back as far as the MTV show and even watched all the CKY Videos
in college. The one bit that I was never a huge fan of was Bad Grandpa. All
that changed after watching this movie. Knoxville, Jonze and Tremaine found a
way to take a 30 second bit and turn it in to a 90 minute movie that while
funny also told a good story. Bad Grandpa would not be as enjoyable as it was
without Jackson Nicoll who played the role of Billy, the Bad Grandson. The solo
scenes of Jackson talking to complete strangers and staying in character were
some of my favorites.
What Happens in Vegas (Directed by Tom
Vaughn) This is a stupid movie and I don't like Kutcher or Diaz much but I like
this movie because of Rob Corddry and Dennis Farina. Their timing and
one-liners are what make the movie one that I can tolerate. Lake Bell also has
some funny moments sprinkled throughout.
