Hot Tube Time Machine lol no crazy name for that one.


This is another classic movie about four friends that go to an old place that they havent been to in forever.  However im getting ahead of myself first the crew goes through some hard times they all hate there lives at the time Adam hates his wife because she took all his stuff ( what a surprise... a woman ruining a guys life.... hah jk). Lou is depressed and they think that he tries to kill himself, oddly enough they are totally off and he is just a dumb guy gettin greal drunk and falling awsleep in his car.  Really who is that dumb? Jacob is happy but is always playing some kind of video game where he is in prison, this is hilarious i can totally relate to this one.  My brother sites inside the house 90% of the day and plays videos games like its his job.  nothing phases him and he lives the game. Then there is Nick who is a dog groomer, i must say he really screwed himself over.  Going from a semirockstar to a dog groomer, wtf happened there.  he probably should have tried to go into another field that pertained to music.  After Lou supposedly tries to kill himself everyone decides that they need a break and should go on vacation.  Classic lets forget about the problem and have fun lol.  Although this is something i would totally do if something bad happened id want to have fun and forget it.  They choose to go to a cabin that they havent been to since they were teens.  If this isnt irony idk what is. They got the room they used to live in when they were younger and found out that it had a new hot tube outside.  Kinda sketchy if the place didnt say they had a hot tub.  I'd probably be a litle sketched out, but then again never look a gift horse in the mouth.  They decided that they would take a quick dip inside.  At this point they decide to get real drunk.  Kinda weird to have 4 dudes in a hot tube drunk and naked....  Lou spills his illegal european energy drink on the controls for the hot tub and it sends them back in time.  They dont realize it until they wake up from there drunken stupper.  (Lou throws up on a squirrel hah funny stuff). That they have been transported into the past. At this point of the movie the only thing i could think of was how awesome it would be if i could go back in time with my buddies and do whatever i wanted.  Really things would be so different now.  I would definately take advantage of my future knowledge hah classic.  They start this part of the movie off with an abduction of the bell boy.  Surprise he now has two arms kinda odd but they investigate.  I must say if that was me i would freak out to and ask if the guy was screwing with me. So this to them is one of the steps that confirms that they are in the past now.  Through out the movie though they have the bell hop almost losing his arm sooo many times its crazy.   I wil ladmit this made me feel a bit sinacle because i wanted to know when he lost his arm.  They really play the fact you know he will lose his arm, but you never know exactly when.  during the movie there were probably like 10 spots were i heard people go oh crap here it is he is guna lose his arm!!!!   After this scene the guys get a quick reality check of what they look like.  And if i do say s omyself back then people looked kinda funny.



Although they dont truly know how Jacob came to be because his father left him or so he thinks.  i felt bad for hi mat this point yet it was hilarious to find out who his dad was. Things go a mess right away when Lou meets a really hot girl that he wants to do stuff with but she only does two at a time so jacob would have to do her aswell, this is a scene where my friend asked me if i would do that if it was me and him.  i quickly responded and excuse the language but " hell no" not with another guy involved lol.  Later Adam is supposed to break up with his girl friend and she is supposed to stab him.  He decides he would rather not get stabbed, not a surprise if that was me i would definately try to skip this part of my life.  Yet he gets stabbed anyway, i suppose that itself is charma.  In his slump he meets a girl that he finds interesting and they go and break into someones house.  This is a part of the movie were i thought he had some really amazing luck i wish i had luck like that hah, but then again who doesnt.  Nick however loves the past he gets to go on stage  with his band again and he sings some songs from the future, which i guess is bad but it makes him very popular at the time.  Heck who am i trying to fool i would totally take advantage of that situation and make myself really famous.  Really who doesnt have that dream of being famous, id take the reins of the situation and do work.  The next scene of the movie was funny to because it reminds me of my friend anthony.  The ski patrol kids take the the stuff out of lou's bag and think its some kind of spy technology.  Really even if you havent seen some of that stuff how do you connect these four fools as being spys?  Skipping ahead they have to now get back the stuff they lost because they need the drink that lou had.  OH and this reminds me what is up with that random old guy that comes to fix the ho tub?  Where does he come from, and i guess nvm that but where does he go when he vanishes.  Like Really if he can come and go as he pleasses why doesnt he just magically grab that energy drink that he needs???  But back to the situation at hand.  i thought that Lou fighting the ski patrol leader was hilarious he just kept geting his hopes pu way up only to take  aquick trip to the floor.  yet after all that they come up with telling the kids that the energy drink is a bomb? Really that is the best that they could come up with.... why would someone believe that i mean really even atthat tiem they must have had cans of soda or something.  The ending for this movie kind of sucked.  Not literally becaue i thoguht it was very funny, but it was very predictable.  I knew someone would take advantage of the past and do something to make themselves rich, i mean given the situation id have probably tried to be that guy lol.

The Other Guys.....Aka the Underdogs

This movie was a classic underdog story.  There are two hot shot cops that run the town and they can pretty much do whatever they want because they are godly compared to everyone else. I must admit they picked two excelent actors for this part samuel jackson and the rock.  Really these are probably the two perfect actors in all the roels they play they are the best and they are really cocky. The movie starts off with a great deal of action oooohhhh mannn.  Crazy ninja scenes done by some "bad guys".  Yet they meet there downfall at the same time because they fallow the criminals to a roof top and well it doesnt end well for them thanks to there stupidity.  At this point in the movie several people me including yelled " what dumb asses"  Then back at the police station everyone argues for who will be the new legendary duo.  Extremely classic but easily predicted on the next scene kinda thing.  At this time Terry speaks up in his words: he is a peacock and they need to let him fly. Really wtf kind of peacock flies? Nun the less he wants to drag his partner Allen along with him, i also beleive this to have been a great cast selection.  Will Ferrel plays the part of Allen with great respect.  He makes the guy seem so nerdy and anti social.  Wanting to stay in the office at all times which made me laugh because he made himself seem liek such a gullable wimp.
This movie has a great deal of interesting twists.  Terry has to trick Allen into going in the hall at one point so that he can threaten him into going out to take this new case.  This in my opinion thickens the plot like crazy because after this scene i kew the movie wold get really funny because of the fact that the Terry and Allen have total polar opposite personalities. But like Yin and Yang they make the perfect team .Terry wants to recover his reputation.  Which after what we learned about him and Derek Jeter who wouldnt lol.  Really how could he have made the mistake of shooting him?  They really set Allen up as a beligerent person.  He is a bit of  a scitzo though because he thinks everything is going wrong at one point he freaks on his girl because he says she was cheating on him with her dance partner.  Althogruh admitantly id have probably been a bit sketched out at that point looking at everything else that has happened to him.  The surprise that comes here though is Terry is a very good dancer.  How does this fit into the story at all? really this was a shot in the dark that i felt added some finess into the movie, but was totally unnecessary.  The funniest part of the movie  was Allen losing his gun.  They trick him into thinking its a sort of initiation thing.  Really this is when i instantly thoguht what are they setting him up to do.This gets him the responsibility of a wooden gun.  Hah the first thing that i thoguht of was he has wood.  Funny at the time but kinda pervy now that i say it aloud. Terry finds out that Allen used to be a pimp, but Allen thought he was just helping a friend out.  His street name was Gator and he was definately a pimp lol.  Terry often questions how Allen has such a hot wife to but he explains this through an accident that happened because of his pimping.  Pimping gets Allen so many women in this movie that is is crazy.  No way a girl can just tell that he was a pimp and is instantly attracted to him.  After his pimpin career was over and he settled down with his wife Allen became the desk lover that we all know from the movie.  Through the rest of this movie a great deal of pranks go down against Allen and Terry.  They get taken hostage by the crazy gaurd people and they stain Allens wooden gun.  Stealing there cell phones, the car, and for some odd reason they take their shoes....  What strange people these people mst be to steal shoes.  Like what are they going to do if they had left them with shoes.  Though at the same tim it was funny because i felt like  i connected with the movies cast when they had lost them i had the same reaction of what why are there shoes gone.  Another random thing they threw in the movie was the hobo orgy that happened in Allen's car.  Really how at all does this fit in because i coldnt link it to anything, but i suppose thats a classic Will Ferrel movie, things just randomly happen for no reason.  The movie has its classic happy ending, but thats okay because the rest of the movie was amazing it had a ton of action and comedy in it.  Resulting in alot of laughter throughout the movie. Truly a film that had a lot of Will Ferrel moments lol.  Really his movies are really funny more so because you get a unch of situations where things do not fit in with what is going on at all.  He knows how to make people laugh by being random, which i find funny because i tand to be very random myself

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World....Well Just 7 Crazy Exes


The League of Seven Deadly Exs
This is probably one of my favorite movies that came out this year because it turns real life into a video game.  This movie takes a common problem of a college kid who cant find a proper girl friend that he loves and they make it extremely complicated.  He starts off going out with a girl who is far younger than him and he likes her alot....until he meets Ramona.  Doesnt this seem to happen to everyone??? Like really once you finally decide to go out with someone you find either another girl you think is cute or you find out that someone else ou liked also lieks you.  I swear to girls its a time bomb they all go after you once you finally are taken away. Then this story takes a crazy twist because it gets away from reality and it starts to head into the video game/comic world.  A quick overlay of the situation is that Ramona has gone through seven other boy friends who turned evil once she left them and they are there to stop Scott from going out with Ramona.  He must fight them all and win Ramona as his prize.   But really is she that cool that he has to fight seven crazy guys? Though without this i suppose the movie would have no plot and would have probably sucked lol.  The funny part to this is that each of the boy friends has some crazy power.  There powers i find to be really funny because they are based off of the situations that they where friends with Ramona.  The first guy is basically a real life warlock.  I mean like really scott fights him but how does he gain all the crazy attack and speed powers that he just jumps around like he does?  I wish when i got into situations like that i could do that kinda stuff.  Yet at the same time this i guess is why people wana see movies likes this.  In each fight Scott seems to beat the other guy until the final battle, but ill get to that later.  As scott journeys on though the story just gets more epic and  dangerous for him.  Another of the boy friends is a vegiterian and he has Vegan powers because of this.  Maybe this is why people dont eat meat... they hope to somehow gain crazy mind powers lol.  This to is an over exageration of him eating so many vegitables that his eyes got the power to do things like move objects.  This is where alot of comic addition is put into the movie.  They add alot of stuff into the fight scenes when they hit someone a random sound appears on the screen like crash! or pow!  As you get further into the movie you learn more and more about Scott's and Ramona's lives.  In my opinion Scott probably shoulda got out of there once he learned that Ramona was probably going to leave him and that he would have to fight six more people to the death.  We find out the root of Scott's problems, his ex...  not a surprise ex's are never good lol.  They always seem to make good situations bad being as they left you or you left them for a reason.  Usually a reason that makes yo not want to talk to ot see them.   Not surprisingly she wants to cause trouble for Scott what a fruit.  She wanted him back only to stop his new relationship with Ramona.  This creates further draa for Scott, what a  surprise.  Ramona being noisy finds this out and decides to run away.  I must say people in the movies make some real dick choices, which do further on the plot but they are annoying.  This though annoying does keep my attention a lot because it made me want to see what happened to that chick.  Definately a movie id go see. That is if you are into video game humor because that is a large part of the movie is them adding in super powers + crazy narated fights.  Even knowing the story line of the movie or what is gonig to happen doesnt ruin this one because The true comedy in this is from what you see.  There is however a little comedy when people talk too.  There isnt as the physical comedy though.  This is what gives this movie its edge is the comedy that is played out in the fighting and the relationship between Ramona and Scott.  They go through some really tough times to figure out a really simple thing.
The thing is though adding comic things into a movie is usually a dumb idea, however this movie uses them to their full potential and makes it so that a person can laugh and not wonder why are they donig that its so dumb.  They are slowly introduced into the movie after Scott plays the ninja game and then they are pretty much there each scene for most of the time.  They are VERY funny, but that is to my eye lol.  For you to find them funny you probably would have needed to play video games and liked them or something to that resemblance.  Although the movie is generally just very funny you might not even have to like video games you might enjoy alot of teh situational irony that pops up in the story.like Scott losing when he has the love sword but winning when he has the othre one.
Tihs movie is a pretty good on in my book so id have to say thats a wrap for now on tihs movie unless people comment more on it.

Superbad? No Supergood

By far this is one of the funniest movies i have ever seen.  As of now this may not mean as much to you because you area new reader to my blog, but in due time you will learn i have an amazing reasoning behind my choices of words.  This is a movie full of real life situations that could happen to anyone, but at the same time everyone has that friend that reminds them of someone in this movie.  Or perhaps they think of the movie as there life or dream life.  People like this movie because they portray comedy in numerous ways by pulling in people school status's and crushes.    I personally find it funnier because i can link it to daily life that i go through.  Yet at the same time they string a bunch of these events together and add in their own part to make it funnier.  Peronally i feel life would be alot better of people were willing to make some more akward situations, allas alot of people are shy so they avoid them.  I am probably speaking for alot of peopl when i say this but i have never stollen alcohol from a party in laundry detergent containers.  I mean like really wtf?  Why dont they just take bottles or something less conspicuous.  However watching it being done in this movie was hilarious.  Another of my favorite scenes is when  McLovin starts going everywhere with the police.  He thinks he is in trouble, but then comes to figure out that the two men who took him used to be just like him and wanted to be cool.  This in my opinion is crazy for the fact that you would never expect this to happen to you or if you did you would think that they were going to trick you into going to jail.
This movie portrays comedy in a lot of other ways as well.  At one point in our story Seth gets hit by a car and this leads into further problems that we as viewers find extremely funny.  Really this kid is having a bad enough day and then it just gets worse for him when a car comes by and clocks him.  I ind it ironic that the guy that getts out of the car says he can get them to a party, but once again wtf, why would you bring kids to a party full of crazy people?  Like really this guy is obviously not wanted once he gets there and he almost gets killed from what we see.  It takes a good director to be able to adds crazy scenes like this one that fit into the story. Although they portray a few things in the movie that people coul find bad its ok because they use comedy once again to ward danger away.  While getting into a cop car and drinking it up with them seems like it would be sweet their are very few people who are dumb enough to try and imitate that.  It's one of those things that people say they would do if they had the chance, but they wont because it is a chance that wont come.  But back to the movie...>.>.....it was pretty amazing to say the least they added comedy in any time they could to the point were it was full yet not to full.  It was just right when they could even keep those scenes relevant to the movies plot of the three high scholl kids having a rough time before they split up.
A movie i would definately recommend for someone to watch with their friends.  Itwill keep you entertained with loads of jokes and comedic scenes that are potrayed perfectly with the right emotion and responses.

About Me

Well my name is Matt I'm a sophomore at college and I'm new to blogging, however I feel that I can set a strong foot hold into it with the instruction of my new writing teacher.  Well more or less I’m going to try and incorporate my personality into this piece, probably not going to go to well.  My blog is going to be about comedy movies.  A topic that I feel fits me well because it’s my favorite kind of movie :D.  I always love to watch them because laughing is fun and if anyone says no to that they are lying to themselves.  I’m generally a person that is smiling about 99% of the time so I like to watch things that keep me smiling.  At the same time though I look for something that is a good too.  So I chose to write about movies go figure I picked an easy one.  Through this blog I’m going to write about movies I have seen or want to see coming out in the future, I’ll be putting my own twist into this blog though by putting into place my views of what was/will be  good/bad.  But back to the back story of the blog…the about me….  Well I got interested in comedy movies quickly as I find them extremely entertaining.  They are movies that fit my tastes because they have real regular moments usually and then they swap to something crazy happening.  I find comedy movies to be fun because they bring fourth situations that normally you would see every once in a while, but in a comedy they stock pile them into about 1-2 hours of viewing.  To me this is one of the better types of movies because after watching a good comedy I can always relate it to real life somehow.  The crazy things that happen in the movies you sometimes see in real life, then when they happen it reminds you of the movie and you laugh more.  Comedy is all around and it’s even better when you can relate it to another comedic moment in your life.  I’ve like comedy movies ever since I was little and I continue to like them today.  Comedy movies are something that will never get old to me because they always change.  This is another thing I like about comedy movies they change as you get older, the humor change to what the generation finds to be funny.  To think it all started with my grandfather sitting me down while he was watching the 3 stooges.  After that moment I like to watch comedy as much as I could.  Some simple family bonding had turned into something that I will remember forever because I’d been shown something that I liked.  Personally I try to watch comedy movies at least once a week, assuming I don’t have school work to do   >.> .  Not only do I just like to watch them it gives me something to do during my free time between classes.  This is good because I have those moments in my day where I have like an hour free so I don’t really have much time to do anything else.  This will help me to write  on this blog a lot better  as well because I have I will have some recent examples of movies that I have watched and they will be fresh on my memory.  This blog is going to be a successful one for sure, but I’m going to have to work at it.  Ill choose my comedies wisely because some are good and some are bad.
