Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (2001)
Classic and Beautiful
If you have friends or family that are unsure about anime show them this one. A beautiful adventure in through a strange world. The character arc that is just perfectly complete. Well developed characters, all around beautiful animation and music that just enhance.
One bit of trivia about this film, Miyazaki wanted to make this film to have a positive role models for girls. That itself makes this worth watching.
Pineapple Express (2008)
James Franco was the best thing in this movie
James Franco was the best part about this movie. Apparently , Seth Rogan wrote that part for himself but somewhere they gave it to James. That was the last time a good decision was made.
I didn't laugh at all. I'm unsure of what people think is so funny. The scenes last way too long, there aren't any jokes and too many characters to keep a cohesive story.
I Heart Shakey (2012)
Not Even Kids Like It
No Heart for Shaky. Actually the Dog is the best part.
I got to see this film at a special Screening at a film festival in a Suburb of Chicago. The writer and Director of the film did a small talk about the film was made. Including sights of the City we would recognize. He called Lake Shore Drive Lake Shore Street.
Ill start with acting. OMG Bad. Why do adult actors think because this is a kids movie they don't have to try very hard. Yes you do. Even kids appreciate and recognize good work. Most of the adult Characters in this film are villains. And there are way too many of them. And they all have some sort of weird hate for Shaky that never really is explained. They are also so cartoonishly Evil, its just nuts. There is a restaurant owner who wears a cap and samples diners food and reviews the food like hes performing a Shakespeare play. There is the head of the Apartment board who you can barley understand because of the way she makes expressions which makes her barley open her mouth. There is also a rand red neck dude,(In Chicago?)who is there for about 0.5% of the film and we never hear from him again.
This film was also screened in 3D. Not much of that in the film. I think only 3 Scenes had any fun 3D in them.
Let me put it this way. The Kids in the theater didn't like it. The one demographic they went for and they didn't like it. No laughing, no giggling no excitement at all.
Super Troopers (2001)
I don't understand
Only the first scene was funny After that not funny. Not even a little bit. I don't understand why people think this movie is funny. I actually turned to my boyfriend, who wasn't laughing either, and asked, "When does it get funny?" He basically said after that he remembered it being funny but can't remember why.
Apparently there is a plot. I don't know what it is because this movie spent more time with the troopers F@#%ing around than telling a story. And all of the jokes are predicable. For example, Two Troopers are having lunch at a burger place. They get are served by two teen-aged boys who are jerks. They sit down and one of them noticed that a sticker has been placed over the cup. Guess what happens- A.He discovers a hole in the cup and his drinks spills. B. Nothing. If you guessed A. You win! No, seriously they hand the punch line out on a silver platter hopping you aren't smart enough to notice.
The acting is so bad. And they don't understand comedic timing. According to them, comedy is yelling, screaming and punching each other in the dick and laughing about it. The writer and Director is also acting in this movie,got his friends write a script. Then some how got some money to produce it. The only good actor in this movie is the only female character. Her career was DESTROYED by this movie.
I haven't actually finished this one, I stopped it in at exactly 60 min. It felt so much longer than that. I couldn't believe there was 30 min left, because, Nothing and I mean NOTHING from the plot was present. EVER. So how are they going to wrap it up.
Tip: If Female nudity is present in a comedy for no reason, Then you can be sure they had no idea what the hell they were doing.
It is blowing my mind that this is getting a sequel. Crowd funded because no studio would dare put up money.
