The Hangover 2009

If Sacha Baron Cohen's "Bruno" and Judd Apatow's "Funny People" do not fly with us, then I could say that Todd Phillips' The Hangover 'is fun movie of the year. But in recognition of the competencies of the Apatow comedy, and Cohen, they have a very high bar, to oppose Phillips unashamed sexy guy humor, pause for a moment of the disease when they are a shit about this topic touchy-feely crap. "The hangover is wood coarse, loud, unpleasant, painful and funny.

Alan (Zach Galifianakis), Stu (Ed Helms), Phil (Bradley Cooper) and Doug (Justin Bartha) are not friends, if Stu, Phil, and Doug and Alan are friends is a lightweight, but socially and perhaps a little mental - tag-along is on the way, Doug's brother-in-law. Stu has his own problems, as he totally whipped by his cat-dog about a girlfriend and Phil is a teacher of English, the sleazy fortunately against his disciples with her money and then say, Doug, the horrors of life, marriage. None of these guys as a "different" (Cooper, although it is difficult to sell, and I will do but a little), but they are definitely not in the vein of Apatow's Cuddly inappropriate. The four heads in Las Vegas a few days before the wedding of Doug, a night, they never forget ... unless they wake up and can not remember one thing. It's funny when you ask how a tiger has bathroom or is there a baby in the cupboard. It's a race against the clock, if you do not find the husband. Alan, Stu, Phil and the rest of the race Vegas to watch the film, he tries, the events of the night, back together to find them again and Doug before the wedding.

the_hangover_movie_image_bradley_cooper__ed_helms__zach_galifianakis__1_.jpgI left "The Hangover," two things convinced. First, Todd Phillips, the hard-R comedy. He has success with "Road Trip" and "Old School" ausgewichen prices with him such as "Starsky & Hutch" and "School for Scoundrel." "The cat" is simply his best film to date, and c is because he is not from a single punch. It is confident that its actors charismatic and very likeable, that we are sympathetic to their misfortunes, even if they are not to blame but themselves. At the same time we must Unlike enough, so we laugh at their punishment without guilt. It is a delicate balancing act, but he brings Phillips.

But the real standout here, and the main reason why this film is Zach Galifianakis. Those who are already dealing with his humor is not surprised to see, to steal, but after every scene of the movie is, I am appalled, if not straight Galifianakis in the upper part of the A-list. His time of comedy and the performance is flawless. Every time he opens his mouth, I am ever to breathe, because I laughed so loud. Mention in all its lines, but I can not because I do not want to spoil all the movie per person. If the Academy had the balls, the recognition of benefits from a sexy comedy, Galifianakis, would be shoo-in for Best Actor nomination. There are no other actors there as Galifianakis and I'm grateful that "hangover" finally gives him a chance to shine in a film.

Film the_hangover_movie_image_bradley_cooper__ed_helms__zach_galifianakis.jpgThe also a high performance, and satellite Helms characters played by Rob Riggle and Ken Jeong. The film's biggest lies in miscasting Cooper. It is not that nice or not to shabby. The problem is that he is not to charm. His first scene is essentially stealing his money in front of her students to talk about for one of them shit. It has enough charm to us, but still shocked by this behavior and mood Cooper not simply do not have to. It is friendly, but enough that it is essentially the same function as Vince Vaughn's "Old School" Honeymooners guys who are fighting to the young people involved in the irresponsible attitude of the sea, but Vaughn, this type of role sleep, Cooper is always difficult victory over us.

"The cat" is not a friend of the film, so that there is a survival film, both for people and for the public. Because of the accident, they may try, their friend and also with the consequences of their forgotten night in Las Vegas, we are always hard to breathe, because we both surprised and thrilled by the big laugh of the film offers. "The Cat" by the end of May is not the funny movie of the year, but it is a major competitor.

G.I Joe:The Rise of Cobra

I do not know exactly why the people behind GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra, the need for this one of the reviewers, the hands. Do you know why in a second.

First, is the act. Someone apparently had the "Patriot Act", a little too far and has a strong illegal and very well equipped, the soldiers in the world (I do not want here to think of how international law, the ability of breaks). And frankly, it's a good thing that they have, because they are in a quasi-equality with high performance and power with terrorists / mercenaries / general bad. There is so much more that it happened here, but suffice it to say that all parcels can be reduced to the essentials "GI Joe is currently in the fight against Cobra, similar to that already in your childhood." Although not expect this design to your children, they of course also be teaching with the gun. Which sucks I WISH they kept the old order Cobra converted vehicle used mercenaries.

Clarify: It is not an Oscar Contender. This is the scene of the attention his absolute peak. I do not think at a time with me, but something or someone shot / skip / dagger / Run with a sliced alarming. The film is primarily a long battle, the stage sometimes broken through dialogue. Sometimes even both overlap, creating a way to develop and back story.

In a narrower sense, that's not really a great movie. He has no history and it is not really against the audience in any way. This May-why critics would have it, so that they can not go on any dispute (as) to how the film is essentially on the world in a real Cobra Commander style plot (double irony bonus points! Woo hoo!). Legion in a mindless sheep to a regular diet of shit.

Basically, you could take this movie with the title "Violence" and no one had noticed that there is a difference, maybe supported.

But that was the point. It is just a film look, something that you will see an increase of adrenaline and watch hot chicks fight and see stuff go on a regular basis. It is very likely the new golden rule of "popcorn movie". This movie could be in a dictionary next to the term "aggressive mediocrity."

Thus, the Ten Screen Head a scale of seven to ten, to exactly what he has to do and nothing more. In logic, there is a C-student is wrong, but it is definitely the best student-C at all. There is nothing wrong with this film, but there are not so right, because it could have been, either.

The Proposal 2009

Not to be confused with 2005, west of the proposal (which I did, for whatever reason, I know I am stupid), the romantic comedy 2009 The proposal is an entirely different animal. For one thing, this film stars Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds instead of Guy Pearce and Ray Winstone, for another you're the manager of 27 Dresses (Anne Fletcher) instead of the Director of the BAV delayed The Road (John Hillcoat). It is time that the films are not connected, and I am glad about this topic you can imagine Ray Winstone as a romantic lead? I do not. Of course, I can not imagine Reynolds and Bullock leads in the west, at least not bad.

The romantic comedy was a staple food cinema, as long as I can remember. Everyone knows that its romantic location value of salt is also ripe for comedy. Hollywood has certainly noticed that the space and thus on the romantic comedy with regularity. This means that almost any situation, romantic comedy was more and again and again, and that any person who is employed in a romantic comedy to have to work hard to stand out their version, a very good job of using the recordings to their advantage, or be prepared to be ignored. As the proposed fare? Not so bad.

The proposal is not the kind of film, the borders, we should not expect that this film, skip away. This means that it is everything you need and it is worthy, but your attention, even if it is fairly easy to guess where the story is.

Let's on the stage. Ryan Reynolds is Andrew Paxton, a book editor suction works as assistant to the senior management in one of the most demanding and incentive for the publishers of fear in the company. Sandra Bullock is Margaret Tate, the hard-nosed chief editor whose approach is relatively easy to send, the office in a frantic activities to ensure that they are not noticed. It is also the publisher of Andrew. Trouble begins, Margaret is in his office by the boss, where she learns that she be deported to Canada because of a visa for the conduct of the work. That can not, how will they be able to his nose into the dough when they are not in the office and not about their work? The solution sounds easy - a sham marriage to his assistant, followed by a quickie divorce.

Flame and Citron

"Do you know who is coming? You go outside and look what have you been?"

This time together with the opening of the lines in black and white images of the Nazi invasion of Copenhagen immediately start in a setting from the Second World War, the fear, violence, and moral ambiguity.

Danish director Ole Christian Madsen makes a testimony of two Danish anti-fascist heroes in an exciting story and stylish and a beautiful femme fatale subplots in his last film of the flame and lemon.

Twenty-three years, Bent Faurschou-Hviid (Thure Lindhardt), called the flame, intrepidly murdered Danish traitors and high German officers. The objectives of the flames of the immediate supervisor, Aksel Winther, in turn, receives orders from London.

Famous for its unpredictable shots, the flame will soon see the man mostly by Karl-Heinz Hoffmann, the head of the Gestapo in Denmark.

Of the flame, 33-year-old Jørgen Haagen Schmith (Mads Mikkelsen), aka lemon, works as a driver, but it is not long before the father sensitively recognize the needs and firing rifles.

The plot revolves around the romance, when the flame is deeply drawn Ketty Selmer (Stine Stengade), a beautiful, courier, at the Subway. How is the relationship deeper, the risk to the flames of employment begins to rise.

It is clear that there is an informant in the strength and the accusations fly flamme loyalty, heart and head.

Beneath the surface, the film is an exploration of betrayal, courage, heroism, the disappointment, the weakness of the people and good and evil. Amid the tensions, and the injustice, the narrator continually flashes back issues and how the film footage of initiation. And these words begin orbiting in your head.

"Am I afraid of? Will I continue? What would I do if I'm in their place?"

The ever-so-often close to catch the complexity of the feelings of the individual characters, even if the permanent representation of the main characters cigarettes away in the middle of the voltage will be too distracting.

However, the flame of a scope and shocking presentation with a quick pace that allows you to breathe hard. The brutality of the Nazis and the courage of the Flame and Citron left a deep impression.

Even if a reflection and action-packed film is too good for the children, the lovers of farce games, or those who are too lazy to read the subtitles.

The film begins on Friday, 31 July to Lincoln Plaza Cinemas and Sunshine, New York. A national edition will be.

Funny People (2009)

Judd Apatow is willing to bet on his wife's ability at the expense of their own success to the stratosphere? Is the question I keep asking, after the wonderful first half of his last film, Funny People, a film that Apatow is the attempt, his films in a more mature direction. Even including some of its directory of artists like Seth Rogen (Knocked Up) and Jonah Hill (Superbad) and the addition of Adam Sandler (demonstrates the ability to dramatically, it is in Punch-Drunk Love is not a coincidence) Apatow cleverly succeeds in holding a mixture of theater, from the rails to his custom sophomoric, even higher, humor area at least this part of the video.

Do not be fooled, because they fear that the theater disappointed. Despite its large spread of stand-up comedian and its corresponding frame in the middle, Funny People is a drama. Sandler plays George Simmons, a stand-up comic who suggested this big in the film industry. After the diagnosis of an incurable disease, so is life and wonders what would have been as if he is not so arrogant and egotistical. George cheated on Laura (Leslie Mann), the only woman who ever loved by him, on his right to marriage and family Clark (Eric Bana), a gangster with the same trend towards Otherwise Phil. George speaks little of his parents and his sister. And he has no friends outside of the cynical, it depends on knowledge in the stand-up world (played by all actors to know how a version of himself). So George decides to set up a wizard, which for him as a writer, friend and confidant, a younger, more naive, that the new version of itself and we hope he can join the abyss, it must now cope with the ROE Ira Wright.

For the first half hour, which is quite natural, that is a premiere for a movie in high-concept Apatow universe. DRUGS Sandler characters and link to their love for comedy, the desire, the right of the people, and even on usual Apatow dick jokes. George Sandler plays close to his heart, with the small screen Sandler comedy routines help the feeling that it is a little version of Sandler himself to be open to all. It is the first time one sees the strong emotional increase of age on the actor for his performance of a man and a child. And it helps. ROE shows a significant tax deduction to its predecessor, comedy, Sandler. He wisely plays Ira optimistic a sounding board and human rights Misanthrope old is quite frequent. , Is often the target of the joke that the driving force.

And yes, there are many jokes in this drama, which is expected in a movie with the title Funny People. But we must also be accompanied by an appeal to be irony in the title, like a so-called comedy constitute criticism that they already have. So Funny People is a drama yet. I could say all the people in my play midway in the film, if the property is even more difficult with the introduction of Leslie Mann, Apatow, the woman in the mix.

Sandler as a man and the characters of the film transforms into a family drama. Sandler, whether life is alive, with her husband and their two daughters. He believes in the severance of relations with Clark, because almost animal unfaithfulness of man, even if his own previous opinions with her. Todd McCarthy of Variety, the test seems to equal treatment of parties in the responsibility of both the screenplay and the performance by Leslie Mann for Funny People just come in the second half. I am.

Funny People's story line May, but the fact organically, never committed. The change in the tone of the film, and the complexity of feelings that the situation requires a big demand for an actor, Sandler, and is at the height. Mann did not. Yes, it is quite funny and the spaces in the above Apatow efforts, but here it is not the dramatic series for us sympathize with his character of the rapid change of circumstances. Another paradox, since its Laura is a former actress who is not with Cameron Diaz, when both went up by The Mask (1994), Bana and Clark does it mean for the same failure.

So please keep husband in the amount of your next film by Judd, because all the blame for Funny People from the second half of the derailment, even on his shoulders, and your in for the casting of his play an important role in a film, unfortunately, relegated be interesting footnote in your filmography.

Thirst (2009)

Do you have a priest in the Korean War, which is a vampire? Anything it wants to do good for mankind, he volunteers for the experimental vaccine to treat a deadly disease 
 blood. The next thing you know it's a creature, revered by the population for the 
 seeming miracles of healing - and the bloody struggle with appetite increased close to a beautiful young girl, the unhappy wife of his childhood friend. This man committed to the idea of a good drink is a transfusion bag suspended in a hospital, where he was praying for the souls of the damned. Off, it attracts the precious bodily fluids.

There are more, much more in the Durst, a blind man, bold, lyrical, funny and bloody provocation a melodrama by Park Chan-wook. The elegant Korean movie bad boy (Author revenge trio Oldboy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Lady Vengeance) makes intelligent jumps between the desires of the Spirit, the desires of the flesh and 
 between the traditions and restrictions of the former Korean culture, and bait, and the confusion the new. Priests such as thirst, Song Kang-ho, a directory, and South Korea first movie star player, if tempo is Pustules or naked, and with lighter skin, Gambino meat. And in the role of a woman dominated crappy Bossy his mother, the former winner of the Beauty Pageant, Kim Ok-wine breaks dementia, once bitten by the splendor of the priests thirst. As always, the films in the thirst is great, all the trains from one owner, even if the blood is flowing into the rivers and calls to hell.

Disney's G-Force

Over-the-top as accurately describes G-Force, and not necessarily in the wrong direction. This terribly ridiculous movie follows a trio of special agents and their companions guinea mole who try to participate in a conspiracy against Leonard Saber, a manufacturer of machine hell-bent on world domination doubt. On the way, but the group of rodents (formerly known as the G-Force) taking its fair share of obstacles, while the clock next to them.

This movie directed the voice-overs of legitimate stars, including John Favreau (Hurley), Penelope Cruz (Juarez), Nicholas Cage (speckles), Tracy Morgan (Blaster), and Steve Buscemi (Bucky), while d ', the support of Will Arnett Arrested Development fame (Kip Killian), and the hangover funnyman Zach Galifianakis (Ben). Casting a homerun, Galifianakis character in this film would not be perfect for his brand of subtle humor ( "Is it me look fat?") And the charm of the behavior.

Of course, G-Force can not really be explained without looking at the incredible animation and special effects that only a budget of Disney can buy. In fact, there were some moments in which the retail sector is so wonderful that I want to remember, which I animated characters. Guinea pigs for cockroaches, mice and hamsters in the pier house flies - in the end a series of incredibly fun - the computer animation and special effects are enough to not more entertainment throughout the film.

Absolutely not boring, G-Force is designed for people of every age and every stage of maturity. For me, I have a handful of péter jokes, someone like my girlfriend more satisfaction in the attention as the men and women to maintain relationships. And for the children? Well, as I said earlier, G-Force is very ridiculous, pleasant on the top and simply adorable.

In The Loop

The cheeky / hero in the loop is not so, as it is applied, and that what is not clear as director Armando Iannucci and a staff of five talented writers are a clever, and beautifully executed political comedies I've ever seen, if not the absolute peak of the genre. It is not often, I watch a movie and feel the confidence to say that the "best" or "one of the best", whatever, without a doubt in the loop is one of the best comedies I've ever seen and not get old (I saw it three times). But do not wait to see it on DVD. It is responsible for a wide audience, to all laugh so loud that you go to the next line momentum, and if you do it, the words are not the only thing you need to laugh, as well a sculpture from metal, according to evidence that he is not a single detail is neglected.

In the Loop is a satirical look at the British and the governments of the United States than the threat of impending war with a country in the Middle East largely dominated. Shipping things spiral out of control is the beginning of British Secretary of State for International Development Simon Foster (Tom Hollander), is a question about the war in an interview on the radio while in the middle of discussing the impact of diarrhea and explains that in this "war is not predictable. " When told that this is not, he tries to "justify" his statement in an interview off the cuff and increases even lower, saying: "To go on the road of peace, sometimes we must be prepared to the mountain of the conflict . This is a set of adopted Barwick Linton (David Rasche), one of the two competitions, the head of U.S. and other frequent for the rest of the film as two governments will meet with only one goal in sight, but something must be completed.

Political maneuvering, tactics dubious documents and discussions behind closed doors, are part of the entertainment as the real strength of this film is the humor and dry blasphemous humor, which is safe, the only thing that may become a member of the audience not to love this film. If you are offended by the word "fuck" and will no longer be heard again and again, not even bother to take in the loop because he is not from that agent in the British press, Malcolm Tucker, played to absolute perfection by Peter Capaldi, an editor, when it comes to reducing the opposition, or one dependent on the failed, either on foot or the errors are within range of voice, when he at one of its Schimpftiraden.

Oddly, when Malcolm is not occupied his evil, it's almost like a hero of the film is underway to improve the performance Capaldi and the words which he can work with you really do feel sad for the people as he is over a matter of course self-esteem. Then when he says Simon: "I want all the possibilities of the forces of darkness, to give you a hound assisted suicide," you can not laugh at me, even when you are laughing, c 'is really terrible.

The film ends here, if, as a fleet of talented image surrounds, including James Gandolfini as General George Miller, who, while in a debate about the number of soldiers in the Middle East, the U.S. Department of the tip Karen Clark (Mimi Kennedy), a toy for children, the number of troops and focus on a little wisdom says: "At the end of a war, you need a bit of soldiers or from the left, it seems that you've lost." As I said, intelligently written.

Phrases like "I hate the prostitutes who are not so aggressive, but no, thanks", pronounced as Foster and Assistance (Chris Addison) have their first move of the U.S. and "You May, and I believe, may not believe but it is hypocrisy ", is now in talks with the United Nations shortly before the war to the point to explain.

But it must not be in the loop with a kind of message on the basis of war film, even if they fully perceived incompetence on an issue very seriously. It is a comedy characterized broadly as it jumps from one side to the other while no one is safe from fire. The struggles and the back are common, such as the Department of State aid in Chad (Zach Woods) and Liza (Anna Chlumsky) never had a chance Zing another and you never know when a fax is a whipping.

If you like the BBC "The Office" and this film is a non-head to see If you and miss you. Very good, like "The Office", you'll find yourself laughing hysterically, but sometimes the feeling, even a little uncomfortable. If there are lots of smiles for everyone as a result can be quite dark, especially in regard to the proximity to real life you take this to be satire. However, the laughter and too many to see on a large screen improves your ad. Do not wait until it is on the DVD, you'll thank me for the end

Aliens in the Attic

Adventure/comedy films about kids on a family vacation who must fight off an attack by knee-high alien invaders with world-destroying ambitions. At the same time, the youngsters work hard to keep their parents in the dark about the battle upstairs. It's the Pearsons versus the aliens who "came from upstairs," in an all-out battle that will decide the fate of the Earth - and kick-off the ultimate summer vacation. It all starts as a meteor shower rockets across the dark galaxy. Four glowing pods sparkle and crackle while hiding behind the meteor show. A mysterious force makes the meteor shower turn a hard right towards a bright blue ball in the distance - planet Earth. In a comfortable suburban house in Michigan, Stuart Pearson (Kevin Nealon) and his wife Nina (Gillian Vigman) head a family that includes adorable seven-year-old Hannah (Ashley Boettcher); 15-year-old Tom (Carter Jenkins), a techno-geek whose grades have gone south; and big sister Bethany (Ashley Tisdale), who's just returned from a secret outing with boyfriend Ricky Dillman (Robert Hoffman). Deciding the family needs some good old-fashioned togetherness, Tom packs up the clan and heads to a three-story holiday house in the middle of nowhere. Joining them is Uncle Nate (Andy Richter), Nate's son Jake (Austin Butler), dear old Nana Rose (Doris Roberts), and identical 12-year-old twins Art (Henri Young) and Lee (Regan Young). An unexpected arrival is Bethany's beau Ricky, who wrangles an overnight visit with the extended family. As day turns to night, dark storm clouds start swirling around the house. Suddenly, four glowing objects shoot toward the roof. The alien crew inside the objects is made up of Skip, the tough commander, Tazer, a muscle-bound dude armed to the teeth, Razor, a lethal female alien soldier; and Sparks a geeky four-armed techie, who is the only non-threatening alien intruder. Ricky is placed under the spell of the aliens, courtesy of a high-tech mind-control device and plug implanted into the base of his skull; Ricky's mind and actions now belong to the alien crew. The alien "Zirkonians," via Ricky, lay claim to the planet. Like a puppet/robot/zombie, Ricky moves towards the boys - but Tom and Jake break free. It isn't long before all five kids see the strange new arrivals. Tom takes charge and the kids come to realize the alien mind control device only works on grownups, giving them a fighting chance against the invaders - and the responsibility to protect the adults by keeping the aliens' existence a secret. Left to their own devices, the kids unleash their imaginations, creating makeshift weapons, like piping ingeniously rigged as a home made potato spud gun. They even learn to use the mind controller. First order of business: taking control of Ricky - and turning his robot/zombie/ idiot actions against himself and the aliens. The adults remain oblivious to the alien presence and figure the kids are being...kids...and insist that the youngsters partake in a fishing expedition. Meanwhile, a touching friendship is struck between Hannah and Sparks, the friendly alien with four arms and hands. Unlike his alien cohorts, Sparks has no stomach for battle; he just wants to return home to his Zirkonian family. Nana Rose comes under the spell of the alien mind control device, which gives her super-human powers. She comes to the kids' rescue -and into a battle with Ricky, who is again under alien control. Nana Rose gives Ricky a huge jolt causing the alien plug to dislodge. Skip joins the kids fight and uses his four arms relentlessly creating devices that eventually help the kids fight on. As the battle continues, the laughs, action and danger escalate. But the kids rise to the occasion, finding new strengths and self-sufficiency. And it becomes clear that the aliens never stood a chance.
