The 7 Word Weekend Review

All the week's new movies reviewed in 7 words.

The Exploding Girl (limited) - Sorry, it's not a cool superhero movie.

Tales from the Script (limited) - A cool looking doc that's about screenwriting.

Remember Me - ROBERT PATTINSON!?! Seriously!?! I need a nap.  

Our Family Wedding - So wait, this isn't from Tyler Perry?

She's Out of My League - Jay Baruchel? How can I not watch?

Green Zone - Way better than the old blue zone.

You know what I miss? Back in the early 90's the way every movie would kick in the credits with a rap song. It was so incredibly stupid and silly that I loved it. It actually left me scarred in a way. I have what you might call a tick. Sometimes when I'm watching a movie -especially if it's an 'important' film- when it gets to that split second before the credits roll, I hope for a rap. If it's a particularly serious movie, I have even been known to freestyle my own to supplement for their oversight.

So yeah, you might have picked up that I'm not the biggest fan of Twilight or of Robert Pattinson. But seriously, is it just me or does it seem like even in the commercials for his new movie he can't act? That's never a good sign. Also I'm secure enough in my masculinity to see what women find attractive about most leading men, but I don't get it with him. To me he suffers from what I'd call 'Frankenstein Head.' A very tragic syndrome that simply means, if you were to shave his head he would look like Frankenstein's monster. 

Course he's not the reason I won't be seeing the movie. I haven't any interest in it because I have no idea what it's about. Most of what I've seen has just been sold on his back. So to be fair I decided to read a synopsis of the film. It was a paragraph long and I couldn't concentrate on it. Several times I attempted it, and each time I glossed over it. It's like the movie is trying to protect me from itself. A brave sacrifice that should not go unnoticed. At any rate, if any of you do see it for one reason or other, please let me know what it was about. I'd like to find out whether or not it applies to all summaries, or just the one I didn't read.

Anyone remember A Fish Called Wanda? I read the other day that they're turning it into a musical. At first my eyes glazed over, but then I read that the music is going to be done by Bill Bailey. Which made go from a groan to 'really... no that is interesting." I realize since he's not big here in America, some of you might not recognize the name Bill Bailey. He's a well known comedian in the UK, performs music as part of his act. He's done loads of Brit shows and movies. Course much as I love him, to me he will always be Manny from Black Books. 

Black Books, is a Britcom that starred Dylan Moran, who's an Irish comic you might have seen in Run Fatboy Run as Simon Pegg's best friend. The show was partially written by Moran as well as the amazing Graham Linehan. It's one of the funniest, weirdest shows you could ever watch. I know awhile back all the episodes could be found on Youtube. Might still be there. At any rate I can't recommend it enough.

Hmm, I tend to go long in these weekend posts. Ce'st la vie, I'm not editing it. 

EDIT: I wrote this a few days ago. I've been busy this week due to there being something wrong with my brother's health. I don't know presently if I'll be posting next week. I'm waiting to see how things go. Hopefully he'll be alright and I'll return sometime next week.
