30 Minutes or Less Review

2011-08-13T22:47:00.000-07:00

30 Minutes or Less is a comedy directed by Ruben Fleischer, the director behind Zombieland. It stars Jesse Eisenberg, Aziz Ansari, Danny McBride and Nick Swardson. Nick (Eisenberg) is a pizza delivery boy that obviously doesn't like his job. His friend Chet (Ansari) is a substitute teacher who likes his job quite a bit more than Nick. Then there's Dwayne (McBride) and his friend Travis (Swardson). They're just a couple of losers that aren't too happy.

Dwayne's dad known as The Major treats him pretty badly. So after some convincing from a stripper, he decides he wants to kill his dad for his inheritance. More precisely, he wants to hire a hitman to do the job. Problem is, he wants 100 grand. After brainstorming with his friend, he sees an ad for the pizza shop Nick works at. Nick is sent and knocked out by the duo wearing gorilla masks.

Waking up with a bomb strapped to his chest, he is given the order to rob a bank for the money. With no choice he is obligated to this. But, he doesn't wanna do it alone. Getting help from Chet they head off to do the task. That's all I'm gonna give away as far as the plot goes.

A lot of people probably have high hopes for this considering it's by the director of Zombieland. And no it's not nearly as funny. But, it's definitely worth watching. If you like crude humor this is probably for you. It's pretty hilarious and most of the gags work out pretty well.

The relationship between Jesse and Aziz isn't exactly believable. But it's still funny and has some heart to it. Danny and Nick's relationship is about the same. Except that they have a much darker intent in life. There isn't too much left for me to say about it.

Horrible Bosses review

2011-07-26T07:57:00.000-07:00

Horrible Bosses is exactly what it sounds like. A comedy about bosses that suck so much, the three main guys decide it might be a fun idea to get rid of them. Forever. One of the bosses is a complete douchebag, perfectly acted by Kevin Spacey. You hate this guy from the beginning. He's the kinda guy that thinks he's God.

Then there's Jennifer's Aniston's character, who is a complete well. As the picture says maneater, which is a pretty good way to sum her up. She's a dentist who has a co-worker around (Charlie Day) just for the purpose to seduce him. Trust me, she tries. A lot... He's engaged but she doesn't care.

Finally there's the boss that's actually nice... Not really a spoiler he dies 10 minutes in the film. So his cokehead, dipshit son takes charge and becomes a complete asshole hellbent on making everyone's life hell.

So these guys are just tired of this. There's no other way, they gotta get rid of them. So for the rest of the movie they're trying to find anyway to kill them. It's not one of those movies where the main characters are constantly attempting in comedic ways. They even try to hire a hitman. Most of the movie is spent with them hilariously trying to methodically kill them without being caught.

I'm not going further into the plot as I think you should see it yourself. It's definitely a funny flick, it's about as raunchy as you'd expect and there's a ton of gags. Check it out.

The Return of the Living Dead

2011-07-20T21:05:00.000-07:00

The Return of the Living Dead was the directorial debut of director Dan O'Bannon. It's a simple story. Freddy just got a new job at a medical supply facility. Another worker Frank, tells Freddy a story of how Night of the Living Dead was based on a true story. He takes Freddy downstairs and shows him a tank containing what appears to be a zombie from the movie. After joking about how sturdy they are he gives the tank a slap, which releases a gas that knocks out the main characters. After waking up hours later they go back upstairs and notice that all of the dead start coming back to life. Including but not limited to : A split dog, butterflies and one corpse.

I don't wanna spoil the rest of the story so I'll leave it at that. What follows however is one of the most fun, cheesy, entertaining zombie flicks ever made. In fact it's my favorite. With many memorable characters like Tar Man and Trash, it's become one of the most beloved 80's movies of all time. I can't recommend this highly enough. Go out and get the Blu-Ray or DVD right away. Trust me... You won't be disappointed.

Do you wanna party?! It's partytime! We got party, it's party time!

Wow I'm back into Pokemon cards.

Today is my birthday and for whatever reason I decided to go to Target. I noticed the card section and I went over as I haven't looked at them in years. I had a few bucks so I picked up a Black and White tin. Surprisingly it had a Holographic Zekrom in one of the booster packs. It freaked me out to get such a rare card. I really think I might start collecting cards again. It's like I'm 8 all over again.

Very soon I will start to review some of my favorite games, movies and electronics. As well as upcoming games and films I'm interested in. The type of entertainment I will review will be varied. I watch movies from the horror genre, to drama, comedy romance and action. I have most of the current game systems so I will try to review as many games as possible. The only current system I don't own is a PS3.

I hope you enjoy the reviews.
