Passenger Side: 8.4/10 - It's material, narrative and pacing will be a turn off to many, but there is something very worthwhile compressed in its 80 minutes. The film doesn't try to beat one over the head with its message, but rather lets the viewer absorb a lot of dialogue amidst the presence of its lead characters. Shot almost poetically, the film allows a unique point-of-view at times in which the camera doesn't capture the faces of the spoken dialogue, instead focusing on the road ahead or the scenery giving the viewer the feeling that they are actually present in the car, or, to play off the title are in a passenger seat. Doused in realism and acted, written and directed to perfection, Passenger Side is a relaxing and surprisingly humorous watch that goes deep without forcibly going deep and, to those who watch with an open mind, will be impacting without one even realizing it.


Paper Man: 6.1/10 - By the time 2010 comes to a close, no film could contain as many “what-ifs” as Paper Man. Featuring the always worthwhile premise of a “unique,” yet struggling social outcast, the film meets its demise via holes in the story that lead to an emotional distancing between the characters and the audience and the inability to find the middle-road between off-beat comedy and coming-of-age drama. The basis of the characters lack of social belonging falls under the powerful category of loneliness; however, this idea never seems to get fully developed and while the outcasts connect with each other, they never quite latch their story and feelings onto the viewer. The film also includes an interesting involvement with imaginary friends, but fails to build on the relationship between person and imaginary friend aside from a general outline. What makes this even more of a letdown is the fact that the main imaginary friend, Captain Excellent, is played by Ryan Reynolds who steals each of his scenes, especially from a comedic standpoint. The actors give it their all, in fact, this may have been Emma Stone’s most impressive performance in her young career, but the inability to relate to the characters and their problems is crippling to the story and makes the film’s other techniques, such as the drama and the quirky humor, almost seem thrown together with no real intent. Side note: the actors chemistry, its spotty humor and its few touching moments win it points. It's jumbled and misses its target, but certainly isn't bad.

More serious Adam Scott acting? I fucking love this guy. Have you seen The Vicious Kind?

Is that the one with Brittany Snow? If so, I have it on my netflix instant queue.

[Palooza]

yes it is.

She gets fucked in it, but no titties unfortunately. It's a pretty solid indie, nothing truly special. JK Simmons, Adam Scott and Brittany Snow's fine ass.

[Buzzman]

Snow did look fine with dark hair compared to her usual blonde.

[SOS4Prez]

Yeah, I loved The Vicious Kind and loved Scott's acting and Snow's dark hair. Shit was beautiful.

Due Date: 6.4/10 - Disappointing in almost all senses, Todd Phillip's first film since The Hangover is forced in a positive direction by its two stars and their ability to make the best of the lackluster writing, which is easily the weakest aspect of the film. There are several scenes in which a deeper, more emotional touch is thrown in, which would work perfectly fine if it weren't for the obvious inability for anyone to like the character of Ethan. Similar to The Hangover, Due Date is chaotic, but can never seem to master its chaos. As one can imagine, the characters go through an unrealistic road trip through hell and back, but whereas Hangover benefited from Zach Galifianakis' demented, child-like dialogue, it seems rather stale the second time around. Still, Galifianakis is able to make the best of it and plays off of the hot-head Downey Jr. perfectly. It's a fun and crazy ride, but lacks the humor, wittiness and vulgarity of The Hangover. Is it fair to compare one film to another? Probably not. But in this sense, how can't you? P.S. Danny McBride once again steals his scene. "Closing time. Time to go to Chili's and chow down with my fucking boys." Hilarious.


Megamind: 8.9/10 - One of the most enjoyable films of the year and absolutely perfect for the family, Megamind is able to balance its message with the heavyweight humor and voice work from its cast. While some believe that its material seems recycled from other films like it, Megamind tackles the identity crisis of its hero/villain beautifully in a way that kids can both understand and enjoy while giving adults the benefit of witnessing a transitional change in its characters as opposed to abrupt and thrown together. The highlight, and glue that holds the story together, is the film's humor, which, thanks in large part to the back-and-forths between Will Ferrell and David Cross, stays consist throughout. It's fun, it's entertaining, it's hilarious and it's one of the best animated movies of the year...if you're not expecting TOO much.

Due Date - ***1/2 stars.

You get Downey Jr. playing a man who's taken a week off to see his wife through her C-Section...

Hijinx ensue as he's forced to take a roadtrip with a complete stranger (Galifanakis) who unintentionally puts him through impossible situations along the way.

Worth your time and money but be aware there's a 5-to-1 ratio of the word "FUCK" in Downey Jr's vocabulary in this one.

Due Date - 7/10
