Movies I will never watch....ever.

Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants
Fried Green Tomatoes
The Notebook

I'd watch these pieces of shit before I ever set eyes purposefully on......



It's like an abomination....a mutation...Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein fucked high school musical and had a baby has one of those fucked up upper lips.  I'd learn quotes from Steel Magnolias before I watch this shit.  Now I'm not against fantasy movies.  I never read the books but I like the Harry Potter movies, I like Star Wars and Star Trek, hell I even want to see the Narnia movies at some point because they look cool.  But I can't express how deeply I dislike this new movie franchise and if I hear one more girly scream about the kid who is the werewolf....hey girls, we had one of those heart throbs when I was a kid too....



Expect the new kid to be on a VH1 reality show and/or a sci fi movie like Rock Monster versus Giant Mushroom within 10 years.

Well my March Madness bracket is F-U-C-K-E-D.   This is why I don't like basketball but every year, like an 90 year old alzheimer's patient I hear about the tournament and forget that for the last 5 months I haven't watched ONE FUCKING GAME and yet I think this is important.  I need therapy.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention the story thus far of the year and that is the Democrats using every dirty trick in the book to pass their socialist healthcare.  Do we need reform, like pre existing conditions, buying across state lines, and tort reform?   Sure.  Do I need Washington telling me buy insurance or else?  Hey Pelosi, Hoyer, Reid, etc.  YOUR POP POLLS ARE LOWER THAN DOGSHIT.  MORE PEOPLE WOULD RATHER LIVE NEXT TO A PEDOPHILE WHO HAS LEPROSY THAN STAND NEXT TO YOU.  DOES THIS MEAN NOTHING TO YOU?  DO YOU EVEN WANT TO BE REELECTED?

And then we have Hussein and his sidekick babbling Joe.  It's like they don't even want to get re-hired by America in 2012.  Let's see how we can piss people off today.  Give the terrorists civil trials in NYC no less...then we'll want to put them in the middle of America....and then we'll force healthcare against 60% of Americans saying no.  You know why they can do this.  Because we'll put either used car salesman Romney or MILF Palin against him and we'll find a way to lose against an all but admitted fucking socialist!

Well, its time to watch Zombieland, or as I like to call it...Congress.

Happy Day-After Alcoholism Day!




So yesterday was St Patrick's Day and thankfully the wife's club fundraiser seems to have gone pretty well.  Today is not only Happy Day-After Alcoholism Day.....

IT'S MARCH MADNESS BABY!

I wont' list my entire bracket but needless to say I'm hoping for a Syracuse win over Kentucky in the finals which I think has a decent chance of happening.  The next four days will be wonderful, as the first 2 rounds of the tournament always are.  Hanging with friends, having inlaws come in to help us look at a house, then more basketball.  I am going to love this weekend.

Speaking of weekends, it hadn't even dawned on me that we are 5 weeks from one of the best day(s) of the year....


Since the first round is on a Thursday I think what I may do is a live blog of sorts where I'll devote an entire post to a pick by pick analysis.

Well it's been awhile but its time for more movie reviews.  First up....



It was okay.  The story was cute and it had its moments but I couldn't help comparing it to his earlier movies.  Happy Gilmore, Waterboy, Billy Madison,...these were immature and hilarious.  Right up my alley.  Lately he's making these kid movies which flirt with my kind of humor but don't have the balls to actually do it.  Nice to see the girl from Felicity can still find work.

*** out of *****

Luckily that was not the best of the night.. 

I'm just going to give the rating up front.  ***** out of *****.  I can't find anything wrong with this movie.  Suspense, surprises, a good plot twist, violence, explosions...and come to think of it, I don't think any nudity which surprises me now that I think about it.  I normally don't like Jamie Foxx since he's a poor man's Denzel but Gerrard Butler is slowly becoming like this new Russell Crowe 'I could really kill you if I wanted to' type of tough guy and played his part really well.  At some point I think this will find its way to the collection.

Now to enjoy the weekend!

I really need this weekend

As election season speeds this way I look more and more forward to each weekend but this week especially is cause for some downtime.  For once though I might be ahead of the game with my poll workers.  Everyone I called couldn't resist my charm.

...actually the economy is shit and they need $100 but hey I'll take it.


Wife and I got a chance to catch Fred Claus last night.

 

Now I was not expecting much..if anything...from this flick.  But by the end, it was a pretty good experience.  Storyline made sense, very good casting, alot of very funny segments.  I hate to say it for as much as this movie got panned when it came out but I don't see much wrong with it and if you've been following the reviews you know I can almost always find something bad to say.
The one thing they never explained was why Elizabeth Banks is a human and not an elf.


 

I think eventually this one ends up on the DVD rack and its one that next time its on HBO I'll probably sit through again.  **** out of *****

No sports to watch!  Olympics done...NFL combine done....no baseball....hockey and the NBA suck...I'm going stir crazy!
