Great nostalgic atmosphere and chock full of great music. Just awesome. Condenses everything I like in american culture into 90 minutes. As close to the "small town America" experience as I'll ever get I'd imagine. 9/10

I Love You Man - *** I only watched this movie because me and grandma have established Sunday as movie night and she wanted to see Knowing, this was my only alternative to seeing that piece of sh*t, and well, my expectations were incredibly low. But that's good, because there's nothing better than going to see a movie with 0 expectations and being pleasantly surprised, and yeah, film snobs get your torches and pitchforks, I liked it. Yeah some of the gags are dumb and tasteless, one "talking dirty at an inappropriate moment" gag too many. But I found Paul Rudd (who was great in 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up) and Jason Segel to be surprisingly funny, I loved the Rush bits, great stuff. It's not ROFL funny, but it's a surprisingly pleasant and engaging buddy movie. If you're into this whole sub-genre of "bro" comedies that's all the rage now thanks to Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow, this is worth checking out. It's not on their level of quality, but it's close enough. |

I think Paul Rudd was great in that movie because of how fuckin awkward he made anything.

I do have to say though, there was an appalling amount of product placement in this movie.
But anyway. The scene where they're playing Tom Sawyer by Rush is hilarious, and when they're at the concert. |

I loved the animation and character design but for some reason it didn't hold my attention after the kidnapping. The first 20 minutes or so were brilliant though.

Latest film I've seen is Donnie Darko, I introduced my friend to it. He got the concept of it way faster than I did. I still love it, screw the people who say it's over-rated.
