Get Him to the Greek (2010)
Too much Snow will kill you...
Man, you gotta love Aldous... but love him to a point of giving him a full movie about the character? Come on guys seriously. There are times that I replay Forgetting Sarah Marshall. But after watching this I feel I'm too Aldous-overdosed to watch it again.
PRO(s)
>> Jonah Hill's occasional funny lines (because his character doesn't require to, we wouldn't have the usual foul-mouthed characters he'd previously done).
>> Sean Combs. His acting is average, but you gotta give the guy credit for being insanely-stupid funny as hell.
>> Aldous Snow's songs. Seriously, in this movie the songs are the only reasons to love Brand's character
>> The furry wall. I gotta buy me one of those. Watch this, you'll get what I'm sayin'.
CON(s)
>> Uninteresting storyline.
>> The constant party/drugs scenes that were made to cover up for the uninteresting storyline. I gotta admit without these scenes, the film will likely to take up 30 mins screen time. The story is just that simple. I don't know, the crazy-stuffs works for me most of the time, but in this movie I felt like it was a bit overused, an excuse to patch it up to 2 hrs running time. I guess I got a bit tired of the Aldous thing going on. Not like other comedies I've watched when there's a hilly-billy threesome (Harold and Kumar), stupid-crazy Cops (Superbad), or a Vegas-fuckup scene (Knocked Up). Then only crazy scene that made me laugh was the one regarding the furry wall. That aside there's just Aldous on crack.
Kick-Ass (2010)
Violence and comedy fused at their best!
I coulda' give this a perfect star rating. The only reason that I didn't is because of movies like Godfather, Inception, and the likes which most of us know already have 10 stars at the bottom of their titles.
This is entertainment at its best, and it's very refreshingly original. Well I haven't read the comics though. I heard they're making a sequel. I sure hope they make a pretty damn good sequel this movie deserves to get.
PRO(s):
very original superhero-based storyline comedy and violence blended well together good casting
CON(s):
Christopher Mintz-Plasse wasn't funny enough (well this is more like a personal preference, I'm used to seeing him being crazy-funny most of the time)
