Well…

Hm…

Sorry… Although i have seen movies since my last posting, it would appear that laziness has held me back from expressing my opinions on this wonderful blog site we call WORDPRESS. I would like to have you believe that I was focusing on finals, but honestly, since I haven’t blogged since around February, that would have to make finals a few months long. Not only would that be a nightmare, but it would be a lie. And while i did well on my finals –Whoo!– that should not have kept me from blogging.

The only consolation i can give you, my 10 beloved readers,  is that nothing good came out  in my period of laze. I can’t even recall one movie since February that i have seen, discounting this week. I am confident i have seen a few, but none were memorable, other than Star Trek.

While i do not consider myself a Star Trek geek i do enjoy the occasional movie starring Captain Kirk… And Captain Picard… AND Spock… AND THOSE BLOODY KLINGONS!!! Getting back to my point though, besides that (Star Trek), nothing is worth rememberance from the last few months of movies.

Is He Missing a Tooth?

Now- getting to an actual review. YES! The Hangover. The title should tell any moviegoer what it is about. A few guys get drunk, go party stay out do drugsgetmarriedin Vegasandwakeupinthe morningwithnomemories. As you can tell the movie was just as much a blur for me as for the protagonists of this  epic tale of drunkenness.

I have seen this brilliantly crafted movie twice. Once with friends and once with family, and i can comfortably tell you that watching the reactions of my parents was just as funny –if not more so– than the movie. Try it one day. Take your parents to a bluntly inappropriate movie and see what happens!

When I first gazed upon trailers for this movie, i admit i was not pleased, but i had a glimmer of hope that it would not be some stupid good-for-nothing movie with no plot. Want some examples? Okay! Superhero Movie, Epic Movie, Meet The Spartans, and every Scary Movie after the 3rd one are perfect examples of movies i dislike that were directed at my age group: teenagers.

The Hangover was nothing like its degenerate, delinquent siblings of the past. It was a well written mystery-comedy that left you wondering what was going to happen next.  I applaud the writers of The Hangover for their spectacular script and storyline. I have not seen a movie in years written that well… except for Forrest Gump. I watched that last week on HBO.

MOVING ON! TO TEENAGE HEAVEN… TRANSFORMERS 2

Shia LaBeouf Does Not Deserve Megan Fox nor the Cyborg Seductress

I have been told that there are many scathing reviews of my new favorite movie. I understand none of them. One such review claims that teenage boys are the only group of humans that would enjoy the movie. In the category of teenage boys there are sub-categories…

Teenage boys that like explosions.

BAM!

Teenage boys that like guns.

And teenage boys that want to have sex with Megan Fox.

DAMN!!!

The author of that review frogot one category. The teenage boys that want to have sex with the cyborg chick!

Ignore The Mule and Enjoy

While i fit into all of the previously mentioned categories, and that might make me biased, I must insist that other groups of people will enjoy this movie as well. Take the demographic of men above the age of 19, for example! While i do agree with other critics (such as Manohla Dargis) that this movie is obviously targeted at men, i do not see why all people can at least attempt to enjoy this movie. Certainly a world record explosion and the most money ever spent on special effects will earn my respect and loyalty to Michael Bay forever.

MY RATINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Star Trek: $11 out of $12 (Even though i can’t really remember much… it must have been good!)

The Hangover: $10.50 out of $12 (Well crafted and lough out loud funny)

Transformers 2: $10 of out $12 (Perfect in almost everyway. HA. Even my teenage boy –i mean MAN- mind found certain moments a bit corny and stupid)
