One of the many, many wonderful things to come out of the greatest Recession of all time is the matinee double-feature...so here are reviews for my 2 latest ...(remember all reviews are SPOILER-FREE!)
The first is the segue DF...Zombieland & Jennifers Body
Zombieland - Hilarious...one of the funniest movies I've seen in a while. Yes...there is a bit of gore but it's the best role Woody has had in a while & there is an awesome cameo...plus two of the main protagonists are sisters...& I'm all about girl power.!My only issue...too short, only 80 mins...but then again if you see it as part of a DF...
Jennifers Body...No zombie's but one smoking Megan Fox hot demon & again some gore & some humour ...not as well balanced as Zombieland though...For the record...this is a chick-flick, it was written by the writer of Juno...so lots of BFF, girlie humour...girls being bad...& Megan Fox..regardless of the make-up..looks hot...even when she's done up to look like sickly, weak, & pale...she is still smoking hot. Girls must hate her so... I really feel for her & I'm here to support her...Stop the Jennifer Hate...haters!
Next DF...the non-segue "time-factor DF...Surrogates & 500 Days of Summer
Surrogates - Very good Sci-Fi/Film Noir which is based on the premise that in the not-to-distant future we all use life-like androids to get around & live our lives. We control them remotely while we lie down hooked up in a dentists chair. The benefits...we all look young, beautiful & cannot get hurt. Our physical prowess also amped up a bit. Life is grand until a murder takes place...which is not supposed to be possible. Now while this may sound far-fetched...I think not. We all spend more & more time on-line for both business & pleasure & kids are getting hooked early. Think Wii... Also if you follow tech at all the Japanese in the commercial arena & our Military have been doing quite a bit of work in the field as well. I think I'll stick with the real world for the most part...with the exception of some Call of Duty & Rainbow 6 on occasion...
500 Days of Summer - The story of a relationship from the Guys point of view told in non-sequential order...for the record this is not a love story...no spoiler here...nor is there any great tragedy... Great jobs by both leads...(the guy is sooooo my cousin Scott...plus I doubt he would disagree) I thought it seemed very realistic & not contrived whatsoever...highly recommended...segue in to "this is not a love song...this is not a love song!"
