You Don't Mess With The Zohan

2009-10-21T17:00:00.003-04:00

I don't understand why Adam Sandler bothers with these types of movies. This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Everyone who watched the Zohan is now dumber, myself included. A comedian with his capabilities should spend more time making a good one instead of taking any role at any time. Roxanne from Principal Takes A Holiday was the lone bright spot to the movie.

JJ's Rating 2.5/10

Role Models

2009-10-20T17:56:00.002-04:00

Yet another Paul Rudd disappointment. He seems have a new movie every month and they are all disasters. This one was made even worse thanks to the likes of Sean William Scott and McLovin. The Superbad clown continues to annoy everyone who's not an idiot. I hated him in that and even more so in this. I can not even think of one bright spot in Role Models, so I will leave you with the rating.

Marley And Me

2009-10-16T17:54:00.003-04:00

When a movie tries to get laughs out of a dog knocking things over, for the whole movie, you know it's not going to be very good. Owen Wilson's presence in the movie makes it watchable, but other than that, it was garbage. If anything, Marley and Me just angered me because what sane people would ever keep that dog for longer than a couple days. Marley ruined those people's lives for about ten years and they actually kept it. Over the past year, I kept hearing about how sad this movie was and how they were crying at the end, so I knew what was coming. Don't understand how this could have been remotely close to a tear-worthy movie. Keep in mind people, as Will Ferrell would say, it's an f'n dog.

The Rocker

2009-10-09T19:49:00.002-04:00

Obviously went in with very low expectations with this one. The Office cast, while great in the show, fails to succeed in the movie business. Rainn Wilson was no Dwight in the Rocker, but wasn't as bad as I though he would be. The rest of the cast was filled with all-stars, Bradley Cooper, Will Arnett, and Jeff Garlin to name a few, which helped the movie go along. The no name-teenage band was decent also except for the fat one who was worthless. Overall, The Rocker wasn't too bad, but wasn't too great.

JJ's Rating 5/10

I Am Legend

2009-10-08T17:50:00.003-04:00

Will Smith has put out some good ones recently with Pursuit of Happyness, Hancock, and Seven Pounds. He continues his success with I Am Legend. I was intrigued throughout the whole movie. I loved every scene where Smith was walking through New York City, through all the landmarks, and it was completely empty. The creepy mutated people kept me on the edge of my seat at times, but not enough to hinder the film. Bob Marley music playing throughout was also a nice touch. The rating could have even been higher, but the ending did not do it for me. I do not know why, but it was a little disappointing.

JJ's Rating 6.5/10

Pineapple Express

2009-10-07T10:22:00.002-04:00

I don't know how many movies Seth Rogen has left in him before I'm sick of him. Seems that I like him less and less as time goes on. He peaked in You, Me, and Dupree as a supporting actor. But I enjoyed the rest of this cast in this one, especially Danny McBride and James Franco. Gary Cole is always a great addition to any movie as well. The movie was good, but did have some flaws. There was no need for the storyline of Rogen dating the high school girl, which was not funny or believable. I was leaning towards a 5.5 rating until the ending breakfast scene boosted it a bit. Great way to end the movie.

Made Of Honor

2009-10-01T17:41:00.003-04:00

Patrick Dempsey was an interesting choice for this movie. With his personality and prior roles, he can not pull of the hot-shot bachelor who dates a different girl every night. It seemed a bit awkward for me throughout the movie. Looking past that, it was decent for a chick flick. Kadeem Hardison made an appearance, which shocked me since I haven't seen him since The 6th Man. The Scottish boyfriend really hindered the movie also with his obnoxiousness. It was hard to believe that Monaghan would ever consider marrying him. Too many ups and downs for me.

JJ's Rating 4/10

Over Her Dead Body

2009-09-29T17:21:00.002-04:00

Paul Rudd continues his climb up the list of most annoying actors with this one. I'm not seeing what the public sees in this guy. Granted this movie wasn't supposed to be good, but it was even worse than I imagined. The storyline may have worked if it was a bit more serious. They had a chance for a chills like ending, but the mood of the movie did not allow for it. On the bright side for Rudd, he was not the worst in the movie. The other two leading ladies and Jason Biggs were even more annoying than him.

Awake

2009-09-25T19:01:00.003-04:00

I wanted to mix up the genres a little bit, so decided to watch Awake. Went in with very low expectations, but enjoyed it quite a bit. Should have known it would be good considering Terrence Howard, Shooter McGavin, and Anakin Skywaker starred in this thriller. The twist towards the end was very unexpected and the end was heart-felt. The biggest problem was the fact that they showed some gross scenes of the surgery, but other than that, it was worth a watch.

Thursday Night Throwback: Harry And The Hendersons

2009-09-25T10:32:00.001-04:00

The second throwback of the year was inspired by an episode of 30 Rock, where they referenced the movie throughout. It was hilarious in the show, and the movie itself did not disappoint. I love any work done by John Lithgow, so there was little chance for a flop. The "Bigfoot" they discover is nothing like you'd expect, in a good way. The only thing missing was the fact that the kids were a waste of space. Granted it is tough to find good kid actors, but they could have done better than that.

JJ's Rating 6/10

Baby Mama

2009-09-24T17:37:00.002-04:00

I do not know why I even watched this one considering the two main characters are women. But Tina Fey's 30 Rock is gold, so thought this might have a chance. Unfortunately, nothing about this movie was very funny. They tried to bring on some male humor with Dax Shepard, but his attempt at comedy was a disgrace. You would think Fey could have gotten some SNL male members to try and make it a little better. After this movie, I realized not to bother watching a women casted comedy unless it is Miley, Selena, or Demi.

Bedtime Stories

2009-09-23T13:03:00.002-04:00

Adam Sandler has been off and on with his movies for his whole career. It seems he takes any part offered to him without even thinking about the consequences. He produces gold with movies like Happy Gilmore and Mr. Deeds, but then comes out with absolute garbage such as Little Nicky. Although Bedtime Stories surpasses some of his work, it was too childish for Sandler's capabilities. He can pull of many different roles, as we saw in Reign Over Me, but this movie was a waste of his time. A nice storyline at times, but overall not up to par with past Sandler gems.

Nights In Rodanthe

2009-09-11T21:21:00.002-04:00

Decided to watch this one because it was written by Nicholas Sparks, who wrote the classic The Notebook. It was overall a pretty good storyline with a sad ending which Sparks is known for, but Richard Gere did not do it for me. In fact, I have not enjoyed Gere in any role, so this movie was doomed from the start. Luckily, the emotional storyline hid some of his defects and made the film watchable. Hopefully, Sparks' next movie starring Miley Cyrus will be a bit better.

The Illusionist

2009-09-05T19:44:00.002-04:00

Finally got around to watch the poor man's Prestige. Not comparing it to that movie, which is probably around a 9.5, it was pretty good. The main problem was that Edward Norton was not that likable. The ending was a very nice twist, but I thought they could have executed it a bit better. I wish they would have explained the magic tricks Norton was doing throughout the film, as The Prestige did. Because of this, I will always wonder about the ghost illusions. Overall, it was well worth my time to watch.

Thursday Night Throwback: The Usual Suspects

2009-09-04T13:52:00.001-04:00

I've heard good things about this movie for a long time, so I decided to give it a watch. All I knew beforehand is that there is a surprise ending, which ultimately hindered the last scene. Knowing the case, it was fairly obvious who the killer was half way through the movie. The scene where the cop drops the coffee and discovers where all the killer's stories come from was one of the funniest scenes I've ever watched thanks to Leslie Nielson's Wrongfully Accused. Seeing the parody before the real thing made a serious, shocking moment more funny and amusing. Even with all the previous experiences, the movie was still enjoyable. The Usual Suspects was a good start to my Thursday Throwbacks.

NFL Predictions: NFC West

2009-08-30T10:23:00.000-04:00

1st. Cardinals 9-7

Luckily, Arizona is in the NFC West, so 9 wins will get the division title once again. The offense should be as good as last season if Kurt Warner can stay healthy. They may be even better if rookie Chris Wells can form into a starting running back. The defense will be suspect as always and teams will exploit it.

2nd. Seahawks 7-9

Seattle will be in the mix with the Cardinals for the title all year. But do not see them winning the big ones down the stretch in order to pull it off. They will definitely be better than last year with many injured players coming back. Hasselbeck has some more weapons to work with now that TJ Houshmanzadeh is in town. Passing game will have to be effective because they won't have much success running the ball.

3rd. 49ers 6-10

Some believe the 49ers are due for a breakout season, but I do not see it. Frank Gore will not be able to carry that offense by himself. Shaun Hill, or whoever starts the majority of games, will struggle all season. The defense should be solid, but not great enough to get any more than 6 wins.

4th. Rams 5-11

Five wins is a major upgrade from last season's output. Bulger should be decent enough, but doesn't have the targets he used to in St. Louis. The one bright spot, Steven Jackson, will have his biggest season to date. For once, he will stay healthy all year and put up huge numbers.

NFL Predictions: NFC South

2009-08-30T09:53:00.000-04:00

1st. Saints 13-3

The flying offense will lead New Orleans to the best record in the league, even with a very tough schedule. Drew Brees will put up huge numbers with many targets to choose from. If Pierre Thomas can continue his success from last season, they will be very tough to beat. Their defense will much improved from a year ago which will get them to 13 wins.

2nd. Falcons 10-6

Atlanta will have a successful season, but not enough to reach the playoffs, losing the tiebreaker to Dallas. Matt Ryan is a year older and they added another target in Tony Gonzalez, but having to play the Saints twice and the NFC East will not help their cause. In a year or two, the defense will be good enough to be a real Super Bowl contender.

3rd. Panthers 9-7

Carolina has always been an up and down team, and this year will be one of the downs. This will probably be Jake Delhomme's last season there as a starter after his play this year. The running game won't be as effective, but enough to get to 9 wins. Time to start developing a young QB.

4th. Buccaneers 4-12

After a terrible finish to last season, the losing will continue all year long. Hard to find any bright spots for this team this year. Unless Leftwich can step up, they will have quarterback issues all season, and no one knows how Ward will manage the running game without Jacobs in front of him. The once powerful defense is not so anymore and will be lucky to get them to 4 wins.

NFL Predictions: NFC North

2009-08-28T22:46:00.000-04:00

1st. Bears 11-5

With Jay Cutler in town, the Bears finally get the talented quarterback they've been looking for for years. And with him, they will take the division. Their defense will bounce back from a terrible performance last year. Matt Forte comes into his second year and should take care of the running game. The only flaw is the lack of a number one receiver, which Cutler may be able to hide.

2nd. Packers 10-6

After a 6-10 year, Green Bay will reverse that record and reach 10 wins. Rodgers has a year of experience under him and has great targets of Jennings and Driver to look for. Ryan Grant needs to stay healthy and be the consistent back he was in '07. Like the Bears, their defense under-performed last season and will show what they're capable of this time around. They will get the best of Favre in both meetings.

3rd. Vikings 8-8

Their season took a major hit when they foolishly signed Brett Favre over the summer. A washed up, 40 year old quarterback is not answer to the Vikings' woes at the position. They would have been better off with Rosenfels running the show. Once the mistakes by Favre start piling up, the locker room will split and the season will fall apart. Peterson and the defense are good enough to get 8 wins.

4th. Lions 4-12

On the bright side, this will be four more wins than last year, which will be a good start. In order to get that many, Culpepper will need to be the starter for most of the season. Stafford is not ready to lead this poor team to any wins. The defense as always will be terrible, but if Daunte can launch it up to Calvin Johnson 100 times a game, they could manage 4 wins.

NFL Predictions: NFC East

2009-08-28T19:07:00.000-04:00

1st. Eagles 12-4

I was more confident in the Eagles this year until they signed Michael Vick. They need McNabb to start every game and not have to worry about losing many snaps to Vick. If used smartly, they will be very tough to beat. They have it all. A strong defense and now some receivers for Donovan to work with. Westbrook got some help behind him with rookie McCoy and DeSean Jackson is a year older and ready to break out.

2nd. Cowboys 10-6

Dallas will bounce back from their disappointing season a year ago. Losing T.O. will not hinder the offense as much as one would think. They have a great tight end in Witten, and just need one receiver to step up, hopefully Roy Williams. The running back depth is incredible with Barber and Felix Jones, and the defense will be very aggressive and dangerous. Romo will be as sharp as ever and get them to at least 10 wins.

3rd. Giants 9-7

This will end up being a very frustrating year for the G-Men. Eli will struggle without any number one receivers and will have to rely on the running game with Jacobs and Bradshaw. Luckily, they have one of the leagues best defenses so they will be able to compete week in and week out. But in the tough NFC East, they will only manage 9 wins.

4th. Redskins 7-9

With a healthy Haynesworth, Washington's defense could be very good. Too bad the offense will struggle to put up many points all year. Campbell is still unproven to be a star quarterback, and he does not have many targets to throw to. They can not count on Santana Moss as their go to guy. And in this tough division, they will only get to 7-9.

NFL Predictions: AFC West

2009-08-28T18:08:00.001-04:00

1st. Raiders 9-7

In one of the weakest divisions in the NFL, the Raiders will shock the league and come out on top with just a 9-7 record. If you remember, the Chargers won it at only 8-8 last year. Oakland was 5-11 a year ago, but blew 3 or 4 that they could easily have won. They also finished the season with wins over over .500 teams Houston and Tampa. With a defense that improves each year, and their great running game led by McFadden and Bush, 9 wins is definitely reachable. As long as Russell can stay consistent all year, the Raiders will finally be out of the gutter.

2nd. Chargers 9-7

Another disappointing season in San Diego, a team with Super Bowl hopes. Again they will start of slow, but will not be able to make it up at the end, as they lose the tiebreaker to the Raiders. Rivers will not repeat the success he had last year and will struggle to be a top 10 QB. Tomlinson is officially a has-been and Sproles will not be able to fill the void.

3rd. Chiefs 4-12

Kansas City thought they solved their quarterback issues by signing Matt Cassel, but that will only make things worse this year. Cassel will learn how what its like being in the NFL when not playing in the Patriots' system. Losing their best receiving target in Gonzalez did not help either. The only bright side is that Denver is in their division which will give them a golden chance for wins.

4th. Broncos 3-13

This year, Denver will realize that letting Jay Cutler go will turn out to be one the biggest mistakes in NFL history. And to make things worse, their top receiver, Brandon Marshall, is demanding a trade and does not look like he'll ever be a Bronco this year. The defense is terrible and now the offense will also be terrible this year with Orton at the helm.

NFL Predictions: AFC South

2009-08-28T17:04:00.000-04:00

1st. Texans 12-4

A surprise here to many, but the Texans will finally break out after being on the brink for the past two seasons. With a very easy start to the schedule, they should be able to come out of the gates at 7-1 through the half. They will have to split against the Colts and Titans, who have had their number forever to get to 12 wins. With Andre Johnson and young star Slaton, their offense will be off the charts. Matt Schaub will stay healthy all year to lead them to their first division title.

2nd. Colts 11-5

As always, Manning and the boys will be back amongst the elite. Peyton will put up huge numbers this year because he going to have to in order to win this many games. If Addai doen't pan out, than they will need to count on rookie Donald Brown to step up to the plate. Reggie Wayne will have a pro bowl year, but the key to the season could the play of Anthony Gonzalez.

3rd. Titans 8-8

The Titans played way over their heads last year to reach that many wins. Their defense was the best in the league, but after losing Haynesworth, they will drop a few notches on that side of the ball. Kerry Collins isn't getting any younger and I'm guessing there will be fans rooting for Vince Young to replace him 8 games in.

4th. Jaguars 5-11

This is easily the best 5-11 team there has been in a long time. But with the toughest division in the AFC, they will have 6 hard games that they will win only one of. The defense is mediocre and the running game is solid with Jones-Drew, but the key to winning more than 5 games is Daivd Garrard. He was better than he got credit for last year, and he will improve, but are a year or two away from prominence.

NFL Predictions: AFC North

2009-08-28T16:30:00.001-04:00

1st. Steelers 11-5

Pittsburgh will once again take the division with relative ease. Especially with an easier schedule, 11 wins will be capable even without playing great football. Big Ben will struggle at times, but I believe the running game will help him out more than last year. And there is no way the defense tops or even matches how they performed a year ago.

2nd. Ravens 10-6

Once again, Baltimore's defense will carry them to 10 wins. Flacco needs to try and make more big plays if they want to compete with the Steelers. They need a running back to step up, and it won't be McGahee, so Ray Rice is the key to this team's success.

3rd. Bengals 6-10

Carson Palmer's return will make this team very competitive. If everything goes perfectly, I could see them reaching 8-9 wins, but in Cincinnati, nothing ever does. 4 games against the Steeler and Raven defense will be a big test. The running game will be weak with Benson at the helm, but Ochocinco looks good to go and Chris Henry is due for a breakout year.

4th. Browns 4-12

If Cleveland can name a starting QB and stick with him for the year, than they will be much better off this year. No team can compete with a carousel of quarterbacks all year. Even so, this team will be lucky to win more than 4 games. Jamal Lewis is too old to run effectively and Edwards has hands like bricks, so nothing looks bright for this squad.

NFL Predictions: AFC East

2009-08-28T16:00:00.000-04:00

1st. Patriots 12-4

With Tom Brady coming back, the offense should be set as usual. Randy Moss returns for his last rodeo as a premier receiver. And in a terrible division, an easy 12 wins is possible for the cheaters.

2nd. Dolphins 7-9

The Dolphins were the worst 11-5 teams in the history of the NFL last season. That's what the easiest schedule in the league will do for you. With many tougher games on tap this year, they will come back down to 7 wins. Pennington won't repeat what he did last year and Ronnie Brown will be frustrated all year.

3rd. Bills 5-11

Terrell Owens comes to town to form a pretty good duo with Evans. As long as Trent Edwards can play decent enough, they could get to at least 5 wins with the Fins and Jets coming back to earth this year.

4th. Jets 4-12

The Jets will be starting rookie QB Sanchez, so looks as if they will be in for a long season. Their defense is getting hyped up this off-season, but I do not see it carrying them for any more than 4 wins. It's only a matter of time before Thomas Jones hits the bench, so look for Leon Washington to have bigger numbers.

Mall Cop

2009-08-28T15:57:00.000-04:00

Kevin James may have been on one of the greatest sitcoms in television history, but he is not transitioning to the big screen very well. He was poor in Chuck and Larry and once again was sub-par in Mall Cop. For some reason, he can't pull off these other characters. Maybe without Jerry Stiller carrying him every episode, he just is not that funny. Granted, I think the movie was supposed to be stupid, and if thats the case, they succeeded. Surprisingly, without even any noteworthy supporting actors, I could make it through the whole movie without wanting to shut it off.

2009-08-28T09:44:00.001-04:00

Has to be Nicolas Cage's worst movie to date. This one started off with mild interest, but grew worse and worse as the movie went on. The whole idea of predicting the disasters that would happen on earth had its moments, but once they brought in the unnatural, I stopped caring. As i said before, things that are out of this world do not appeal to me. And once the aliens and spaceships start appearing, the film is garbage. The ending is even more ridiculous. Definitely do not waste time renting this trash.

Twilight

2009-08-27T14:33:00.000-04:00

Made sure no one was around to catch me watching this one. I went in with a biased point of view because of the crazed teenage girl fans who have turned everyone else away from the series. After seeing Twilight receive every award at MTV's movie awards, I hated the whole idea of it. But I still gave it a watch and enjoyed it despite my pre-judgement. I tend not to like unnatural movies with vampires and monsters, but this one did not rely too heavily on that aspect. All in all, it was a pure romance movie. I disliked Pattinson and Stewart in previous interviews, but they came off as likable characters in the movie. So I'd give this one a chance.

Gran Torino

2009-08-27T14:31:00.001-04:00

Previews were definitely better than the movie. Thought it would be entertaining seeing old man rivers threatening people walking onto his property, but that lasted about 5 minutes. The rest of the movie was about his relationship with a foreign family, and especially one teenage kid. After about 30 minutes, I was very bored and was waiting for the credits. The only positive was the ending, which was predictable as the movie went on, but still very satisfying.

Hannah Montana: The Movie

2009-08-27T12:34:00.000-04:00

Most people my age would never even consider watching Hannah Montana. The TV show being on the Disney channel causes it to only receive a much younger audience. But anyone who tunes in will realize it is the best family type sitcom since Boy Meets World. Say what you want about Miley Cyrus, but she tops the list of best female actresses in the world. Unfortunately, the absolute gold of the TV show did not translate fully on the big screen. Miley did not incorporate her catch phrases or corky personality nearly enough in the movie. The cowboy boyfriend also brought it down a notch, and throughout we were all hoping Jake Ryan would appear from with a parachute. Hannah Montana fans should see the movie anyway, even though they will be a little disappointed.

I Love You, Man

2009-08-27T10:37:00.000-04:00

Most overrated comedy I have seen since the Hangover. But somehow this made the Hangover look like comedy genius. Everything about this film was garbage. It's a lose-lose situation when Paul Rudd and Jason Segal are the two leading men. Somehow in the past 5 years, Paul Rudd has got the reputation of a funny guy. He was decent in Anchorman but other than that, Clueless was his best performance. Him being awkward did not turn into laughs, but rather me wanting to throw up. On the bright side for Rudd, he wasn't the worst in the movie. A member of my top 10 hated actors, Jason Segal succeeded in proving my list right. He was absolutely atrocious in every aspect. Someone explain to me how he is getting jobs. Only reason to see this movie would be to see how bad it actually is.

17 Again

2009-08-26T19:12:00.001-04:00

Had very low expectations going into this, having seen the same concept in Big and 13 Going On 30, which both I disliked. But, 17 Again definitely surpassed those two. Pretty boy Efron wasn't as annoying as I was assuming from everything else I've seen him in. The special appearance from Sonny With a Chance's Sterling Knight was a big bonus to the movie. And Jan Levinson Gould from the office also starred which was another pleasant surprise. With those two, Matthew Perry, Leslie Mann, and a new and improved Zach Efron, the movie is definitely worth a watch.

Lead role of James played by unknown Jesse Eisenberg destroyed the movie. Seemed as if he was trying to be Michael Cera, who cracked first on my list for my most hated actors. Hard for a movie to succeed when you hate every second the lead character is on screen. There were a few bright spots in Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig, but not in enough scenes to save the film. The idea of a movie being set in a theme park sounded intriguing, but do not be fooled. Do not waste time on this movie.
