Woman Crush Wednesday: Melissa McCarthy

1) She's super SUPER funny- I feel like this goes without saying... But Melissa McCarthy is one of the funniest human beings on the planet... If not the funniest dare I say it. She was amazing in bridesmaids, and although I didn't think she was the "scene stealer" that she was dubbed in that movie (only because I thought everyone was absolutely AMAZING in bridesmaids) she has been the absolute funniest person in ever in many movie roles and she is just perfect. 2) She makes unlikable roles really likable and easy to relate to- Her characters are always super odd and usually quite hard to relate to. Tammy isn't someone you would necessarily want to hang out with in real life, but I feel like Melissa McCarthy made her so likable and easy to relate to that she had a depth other actresses wouldn't have brought to her. Another great example is her character in Identity Thief. Why should we like that girl at all? She's a criminal, she steals Jason Bateman'...

Tammy Review!

I was super excited about this movie because I'm a huge fan of Melissa McCarthy, I love Mark Duplass, I think Susan Sarandon is surprisingly funny and even though the trailer and title don't give a lot about this movie away, it just seemed like a super funny and fun movie. The movie started out on a funny note: Melissa McCarthy in a car singing along to the song Your Love and then she hits a deer. The deer doesn't die but it made me snort in the beginning. It was just funny and right off the bat, it seemed like a movie you can watch years from now and still find funny. It's like Superbad and The Hangover in that aspect sort of: it already felt nostalgic before it started. I was super happy that Melissa McCarthy was the lead of this movie, because as funny as she is she is usually just the wacky sidekick or more of like a co-lead. Although I think this is still kind of a co-lead movie for her and Susan Sarandon, and McCarthy does play a very wacky character, Susan ...

Shannon Watches Movie Trailers

I've been wanting to do this for a while... so here I go! 1) The Amazing Spider Man 2- This starts out kind of crazy. Aunt... I forget her name. Aunt Sally Fields is yelling at Peter because when he washes the laundry everything turns red and blue. It's a weak laugh... but funnier than most super hero movies I guess. And then he rescues Jamie Foxx who works for Oscorp with Gwen. Then Jamie Foxx gets shocked and causes a power outage in the city. Then Jamie Foxx turns into some electric type of guy that looks like Dr. Manhattan and Spiderman forgets his name. Which upsets Jamie Foxx Dr. Manhattan and he lightning  bults Spiderman. Then there is a bunch of other explosions and lightning bults and Jamie Foxx and cool stuff happening. It seems like Jack Nicholson should be in this movie, idk why I was expecting him to show up on the trailer. Looks pretty dang good though and I like the Spiderman movies, so I will definitely see it! 2) Blended- I've already seen this trailer...
