Hello all! I've seen some more movies on tv or netflix or amazon or whatnot so I figured I'd do some more mini reviews. Since these movies aren't out in theaters anymore I don't want to go into a lot of detail... so I'm just going to tell you if you should see it or skip it.
1) The Incredible Burt Wonderstone- This didn't look that bad... but it got some bad reviews. I thought comedy with Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi and Jim Carey... how bad can it be? It was pretty bad. It wasn't unwatchable completely it had enjoyable moments and everything, but it was not that great. It was slightly offensive to women, it wasn't too too bad I just may be sensitive to this fact... idk. It did pick up in the middle though, so I almost said see it... but honestly there are wayyy better things you could see on demand. I'm gonna go with a Skip It!
(also it seems like this movie should be a kids movie... but it is pretty inappropriate for kids. Just thought I'd mention that in bold because it's a big deal.)
2) Dallas Buyers Club- this movie was incredible. I didn't like it at first because it was really depressing and Matthew McCaugnehey's character was just not likable at all... But it got sooo much better. I think that he and Jared Leto should both win. Also Russell Edgington from trueblood/ Spalding from Coven was in it and he is a really fantastic actor. He only had a small part, but he doesn't need a big part even. He is such a great character actor he can really bring it with even a small role. Definitely See it!
3) That's My Boy- dear god avoid this movie by all costs. I wanted to watch something a little lighter after seeing Dallas Buyers Club and even though this looked horrible I thought "well you don't mess with the Zohan wasn't even that bad... How much worse could this be." Famous last words. I turned it off very quickly in the movie because it was just so bad. Adam Sandler is such a funny guy too it saddens me that he sold out sooo much. Skip it!!!!!!!
4) Blue Valentine- I had sort of been wanting to see this a long time but also sort of not. I wanted to see more Ryan Gosling movies because I think he's super talented... but I've only seen him in The Notebook, Remember the Titans, and Crazy Stupid Love... and those probably are not the best Ryan Gosling movies to watch... although I love Crazy Stupid love... lol. Anyhoo it didn't sound like it would be something that I liked, but it sounded interesting and I want to be able to say "Ryan Gosling is sooo talented" for more than just because he's hot.... and now I can. The movie was really sad but he and Michelle Williams were excellent in it. It is an amazing movie and it's very sad, but mostly just interesting. I didn't cry at all during the movie just because I was so interested in the characters. Definitely See it!
5) 12 Years a Slave- So this movie is out in theaters right now, it isn't on Netflix or anything, but I figured I'd include it in here rather than doing a full review because it wasn't playing in theaters everywhere. It took me quite a while to find it actually. This is an Oscar-nominated and Golden Globe winning movie that I wanted to see anyway but I also had to see it for class. It was really really good, everyone in it was incredibly talented and the director really made you feel like you were in the situation yourself. It's an incredibly hard movie to watch because there are a lot of graphic violent scenes and a lot of social injustice, but I don't think there are any other movies quite like it and I thought it was just spectacular. Must See for Sure!
6) Bob's Burgers- This is a tv show, which I've been watching on Netflix and Hulu Plus has the Fourth season, I just need to see the Third and I'm good! It's sooo soo funny. Just a fun show to watch and just enjoy. Incredible voice actors... really funny characters. Just a great show all around. The voice of Bob is H. Jon Benjamin who is also the voice of Archer and he's just sooo soo funny in it. I really like it. See it!
7) Portlandia- I feel like I should have been watching both this and Bob's Burgers a long time ago. If you like sketch comedy and you think hipsters are funny and you like making fun of them... this is a great show for you. The interesting thing about it is that its a sketch show with different characters, but it feels more realistic because they are kind of related. It all takes place in Portland, so it's all in the same world. Really funny. Fred and Carrie are great, Kyle Maclachlan is in it and he is great. I love him I actually have a bit of a crush on him now just because he's in sooo many things that I watch. Definitely See it!
