Do you disagree with "give them the code" ?

They part was cheesy but I enjoyed the movie.

Ted

Not as horrendously awful as I expected.

Unnecessarily crude, unnecessarily vulgar, could have been much better without the senseless raunch.

Marky Mark hamming it up. Mila Kunis looking cute. Stupid bear being trashy.

But I didn't hate it.

Ok was it any one of those names with a Lynn after it?

Took Mini Snags to see R.I.P.D. last night. Ryan Reynolds plays a cop who gets killed by his partner, Kevin Bacon. In the afterlife, he's immediately transported to a police precinct where dead cops are trying to save the world from the apocalypse, which the "Deado's" are trying to make happen. Kind of a Men In Black type theme. Jeff Bridges plays Reynolds' partner in the afterlife and he makes the movie. He's an old west Sheriff, killed back in the 1800's.

None of the above is a spoiler because the trailer tells you all of this. The funny thing is that they see each other as they really are while the rest of the world sees them totally different. Bridges looks like a blonde supermodel while Reynolds is an old Chinese guy. Overall, a pretty entertaining movie. Worth a rental or something to do on a Wednesday night.

I definitely want to see this movie...when it hits Vudu. The old Chinese guy is the same old Chinese guy in Big Trouble in little China (1986).

I think I'd rather see it for Marisa Miller. But hey, who am I to judge? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

One Direction: This Is Us

Man card surrendered. You do what you do when you have only daughters.

Not the worst thing I've ever seen. Took great pains to paint the boy band as appreciative of the fans, not a pack of stuck on themselves jerkwads and fun, funny, normal.

Songs are throwaways as with all boy bands. Don't see any of them as having the sort of Justin Timberlake breakout personality.

But as a veteran of the boy band scene, they were much more likeable than either Backstreet or N'sync ever were (caveat, as portrayed in this film).

I sort of hope we don't ever see the rehab headlines, the breakup and reunions, anybody doing porno to stay afloat or any of them twerking for attention. That would be sad. But it's a path often trod by many including KISS, Beatles, Stones, Floyd and on through Backstreet, NKOTB, Demi Lovato, and so on.

They are only moderately talented and it would be nice if at least one of them could play some kind of instrument, but that's not the appeal I guess. Sing cookie cutter songs written and arranged by others, swim in cash, rinse and repeat.

At least they seem to be having fun doing it.

You lost your man card when you went to see Magic Mike in theaters. Now you are just flirting with disaster.

At the time of that writing there was a lesbian porn video being shopped by a former partner. Not sure what became of that, but I've got the Netflix search going.

Pain & Gain

Like Mark Wahlberg but his range is limited. Like The Rock but his range is more limited.

This story couldn't decide whether it wanted to be a comedy, a farce, a black comedy, a morality play or something else. It ended up doing nothing very well.

It tried to make idiot, bumbling killers as the sympathetic heroes of the story while turning the "rich guys" into the villians. Didn't understand that take on it at all.

The real Daniel Lugo was dumb, cruel, sadistic and sick.

Rock played what was basically a combination of several low-level hoods and seemed there primarily to piss on the redemptive values of Christianity.

That this film elected to make them "hilarious" three stooges type characters you were supposed to (I think) root for in the end is a massive fail in my opinion.

Unbelievable that this was a (mostly) true story.

Journey 2

Starring Vanessa Hudgens' chest, legs, butt and pubic bones. Also some other guys.

Silly story. Bad acting. Really bad acting. Just goofy.

But kids seemed to like it. Laughed at some of the cheesy lines

But this is a bad movie.

Vanessa is hot.

The Purge

Interesting concept that had the potential for tremendous tension. But the director fumbled the ball away on this one.

Too much was left unexplained.

1) Why would crime rates miraculously drop just because you had one free day a year? That doesn't make logical sense to me because the motivating factor behind crime usually isn't to fill a psychological pathological need, but to respond to an immediate situation. Tempers dictate crime much more so than calculation.

2) For what reason did the band of psychos chase the injured black man? What motivated their cold blooded rage -- and since there were no repercussions for crimes why the need for masks? That was stupid.

3) A million-dollar security system that can be compromised by a Ford and a $20 chain from Home Depot? Really? It's only a 12-hour thing, the house would have had an impenetrable bunker and a collection of movies to pass the time.

4) Boyfriend side story was a ridiculous waste and merely an excuse to show daughter's leg curve and breast swell inside the bra.

5) Neighbors just walk away and go back to sharing cookies? Yeah. Whatever. That's going to make the POA meetings a little uncomfortable.

Didn't care about any of the characters. They all seemed to swiftly get over the grisly death of people who were supposed to be close to them. None of their emotional responses rang true.

Could have been so much better than it was, the writers and director simply squandered what should have been a great set up. Hope to see this done again in a few years but done well.

Rented it on DVD a couple of weeks ago, did not even finish watching it.

Since its Halloween saw these two recently:

Sinister - decent. Ethan Hawke is good. Somewhat complicated and doesn't quite come together until the end. Not bad not great. The Ring meets 8mm.

Paranormal Activity 4 - awful. Not scary. Worst of the bunch so far. Got bored watching it. And I thought the first three were decent.

Saw the 3rd last night. My kind of "horror" flick. Not a fan of the blood, guts, hack em' up. Love the suspense.

I went to see Gravity or whatever that flick with Sandra Bullock in it is called. It was far out. I would go so far as to say it was out of this world.

Sandra gets naked but you can't see titties or her syrup bucket.

3 was probably the best of the bunch to me. 4 will disappoint you. It is seriously boring. Except the creepy kid. That little shit just stands there and stares. F that.

Took in Last Vegas this weekend. No spoiler here in telling you it's basically another in a long line of "We've got 2 days in Vegas to cram every bit of debauchery possible in so what happens in Vegas...." Been there, done that. But, with 4 guys who have a few years of acting under their collective belts, there were some bits of comedy gold here and there. In fact, we always kid about "You owe me a monitor" on here. That was honestly the first time I actually lost it and spewed diet coke after a one line.

Overall, a pretty solid comedy. Not much of a story line, but chortles a plenty.

You just related because they were old, didn't you?

I bet they drove up the strip in their super keen sexpedition.
