My Bad

ok ive been majorly slacking lately. i haven't NOT been going to the movies, come on now its Bre', but i haven't been writing. here's a brief catch up:

Step Brothers - funny movie. but not for everyone. not how Napoleon Dynamite isnt for everyone though. this is grown up raunchy humor, but humor none the less. if youre a will ferrel fan (say...old school, not elf) then youll love it.

Pineapple Express - hillarious stoner movie, even if youre not a stoner. i loved James Franco in this. mostly cause he's always so serious in his movies. he's the perfect stoner looking guy in this one. it's plenty quotable and the critics call it a Bromance. i loved it.

Tropic Thunder - sooo this movie got major boycottage because of several things. the most popular of course was Robert Downey Jr in "blackface" and others were upset because several time they use the word "retard", but im guessing the people judged before they even saw a snippet of the movie. oh my GOD! this was hillarious. from beginning to end. it was the epitome of satire, NOT to be confused with spoof. don't believe the hype, go see it.

Elegy - i feel bad for not giving a movie this good a proper review. i'm sure once i get it on dvd i'll buy it and do a retroactive review. Ben Kingsley is awesome plain and simple. he's a professor who has the hots for a much younger student (Penelope Cruz), and does the smart thing by waiting for the end of the semester to get at her. he and his married friend (Dennis Hopper) have an affinity for the younger version of the fairer sex. Cruz and Kingsley develop a psuedo relationship over the course of time and it is eventually clear to Cruz that Kingsley is not so much looking for something...real. they deal with the ins and outs of the relationship, while Kingsley tries and cope with being a man forced to recognize his own age, yes at the age of...however old Ben Kingsley is.


i think thats all ive seen at the theater so far. ok i have a real one coming up.
