Oh, Brother!

Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly star in Sony Pictures' Step Brothers

Going into this movie with very low expectations, I was shocked when I cried from laughing so hard when I watched a woman taking a piss in a urinal, leg cocked up! I figured Will Ferrell was wearing himself thin, and I don’t care for the John. C. Reilly. With that out of the way, this movie delivered some great times and many unexpected laughs depsite how stupid it was. Charting it up there with Blades of Glory (one of my favorite Ferrell peices), I sincerely reccomend this movie to anyone who wants to laugh. Also, to stir the shit, I honestly declare this to be the funniest movie I’ve seen this year (eat shit Get Smart).

Sidenote: the opening credits smelled quite similar to that of Men in Black…LYLAS!

Quite a Knight!

I now realize why I wasn’t a staunch advocate for the movie’s predecessor, Batman Begins: I didn’t really care about Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, or (shivers) Katie Holmes. And then, Batman’s director, Christopher Nolan, had a genius idea: cast Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Heath Ledger in the sequel. I am a big fan of both Eckhart and Gyllenhaal, and both did a nice job.With great delivery from the late Ledger (it will be nearly impossible to top him as the Joker in the next century), as well as a great pace of dialogue and action, The Dark Knight clearly makes for great times. There’s nothing bad to say about this sequel, really; the lengthy feature pulls you in for two hours and thirty minutes, and American knows my take on long movies, but it surprisingly passes quickly.

And a quick shout out to Nolan for recasting Cillian Murphy as the Scarecrow! Smart move, sir. Smart move. I would have been irate had it have been someone else beside Blue-eyed Cillian!
