A few films recently watched.

yeah, it was that fucking juno reactor. lol at comic, although I wouldn't go that far. The concept of the trilogy is fucking great.

funny people 5/10

wasn't funny. started off pretty good, lost it when they take the road trip to visit sandler's old flame. went into total self indulgence at that point. judd apatow might want to watch home movies of his kids but i don't.

lol i really don't care about that movie at all, despite liking a lot of its components...

The Cube - 7/10

i hope somebody puts an end to this really shit judd appatow movies

some are funny but in a ''meh'' funny kind of way ....seth rogan should go back to canada

superbad was pretty funny. Best one out of the bunch. 40 yr old and knocked up were about an hour longer than necessary. Is that how funny people is?

yes. i liked it though i guess. and seth rogen is a baller

funny people is at least forty minutes longer than it needs to be. i actually really enjoyed the first hour or so, it was the generic love interest storyline and everything that followed that bored me. and then apatow's need to cast his wife and kids in all of his movies just strikes me as extremely self absorbed. but it might have been adam sandler's best role, and rogen, for once, played a different character.

i like most of the actial Judd Apatow directed films (knocked up, funny people) 40 year old version i can take it or leave it, not really my type of movie. IT's the ones that try to ride the coattails of Apatow's fame that i don't like so much, these include I love you Man and Hangover. I feel like they were trying to channel Apatow but failed. I can understand the hate for his stuff though, its way overexposed now. He's been doing stuff forever and was an important writer for the Larry Sanders show. I think his best work is when he captures that style of comedy

did i say that the hangover was bad ?, it is , very much so

what i'm a little tired of is seeing the same cast in nearly every comedy that comes out. it's either people from the american office or people from apatow's crew. occasionally a comic will come on and be ingratiated into this group a la zach galifianakis but, for the most part, i get the feeling comedy in hollywood is very incestuous.

it's just a trend right now. give it a year or so

it truely is too zaphod. Read Lloyd Kaufman's (the Prez of Troma) 2 books about the industry, from his whacked out mel brooks on acid ass.

it's been going on for a while. it's a trend, sure, but i'm sick of watching the same cast in every movie. i've noticed the casting director for almost every one of these movies, and the american office, arrested development, etc, is a woman named allison jones. so i have a feeling they just automatically cast the same people in every single movie because that's what makes bank.

yeah i don' think it's cool either. just recycled laughs

if you fucking see them in the trailer wy do you go watch the movie

you guys are fucking dumbasses

I see how some people could get tired of seeing the same actors in comedies but when I think about the alternative it doesn't really bother me. The quality level of mainstream comedic films is higher than I remember it being before. I think people forget that most popular mainstream comedic films, before Apatow's brand caught on, were based on 2 1/2 minute Saturday Night Live sketches, starred Adam Sandler and his unfunny friends or starred an actor with no comedic experience just because he/she was popular at the time. Before that it was shit like Porkies and Meatballs. At least now it seems like there are less obstacles to keep genuinely funny people from getting their visions on screen and from casting people that they consider funny in their films.

i like to see the same actors working together. in the case of apatow's films the casts are mostly the same because they are friends in real life, and i think that shows through in the movies and is probably pretty cool for them.

just a few ww flicks ..

Alice in den Städten [alice in the cities] 8.4/10

Falsche Bewegung [wrong move] 8.4/10

Im lauf der zeit [kings of the road] 8.2/10

Witchfinder General - Not the horror film that I was expecting but well worth a watch just to see the savage nature of those that use to hunt witches. Vincent Price is completely awesome in this. The end isn't satisfactory and is probably all the better for it. 7.5/10

role models 5/10

predictable crap, terrible song ending. was better than i expected though. stiffler has tits these days. i guess they are pecs but they look silly.
