True Grit- probably the best Western ever made, although it does not have a whole lot of action and has one of the worst endings I've ever seen, it is still a must see movie no matter who you are, and one of those few movies both genders will like. Standouts include Jeff Bridges playing the best role of his career as a fat drunk cowboy who kicks ass and Hailee Stenfield (her first time acting), playing as the 2nd baddest girl this year and both of them deserve Oscars at the very least. Matt Damon plays as a hilarious Texas Ranger (also a career best). Basically put, for every actor in this film, it is their best role. 10 out of 10.<br /><br />2. Kick-Ass- Though it has no flaws, and is one of the greatest super hero films ever made, parents are not going to like this, because it involves a young girl brutally murdering several mobsters in the best scene of the whole movie. But for all people who have a life, this movie is awesome. Like True Grit, all of the actors are awesome and only Christopher Mintz-Plasse does not have a career defining role (that would be as McLovin in Superbad; he's just as awesome here). The best one by far is Chloe Moretz, who is the bad-ass superhero Hit-Girl; like Hailee Stenfield, she also deserves an Oscar. Nicolas Cage is her dad, a Batman-esque superhero called Big Daddy, and Aaron Johnson (though you probably won't know him) plays the title role of the first real-life superhero.<br /><br />3. Inception- Just because the guy who made the Dark Knight (Christopher Nolan) directed this, it's on the list. Thankfully, it's almost as good, with a great concept and probably the best digital effects of the year. Some of the actors aren't so good (like Marion Cotillard, who plays as a ghost of Leo DiCaprio's wife and is apparently an Oscar winner), but other than that, top rate movie. Critics don't like this film because they don't like Nolan, but ignore them and watch it.<br /><br />4. The Social Network- I haven't seen this film yet, but it looks awesome, and everyone seems to like it. It's about the creation of Facebook, and I'm putting it this high in the list because in almost every other Best Of like it appeared at number one.<br /><br />5. Toy Story 3- not often that a Disney movie would make any list at all except Worst Of lists, but Toy Story did somehow. Being one of two good franchises at Disney (the other being Pirates of the Caribbean) helps a little. One flaw it has is that most of the characters are extremely stupid (especially all the human characters), but the ones that are good are incredible. Obviously Woody and Buzz are on that list, so is that piggy bank, but the best two are Ken (the movie's riff on an interrogation scene with him is hysterical), and Lots-O-Huggin-Bear. That a teddy bear could be one of the best villains of the year is shocking, sure, but he also wins the Best Disney Villain award too. The plot is also top notch, playing like a kiddie version of a prison escape. Some parts don't do well: the beginning and end scenes especially, the first one being a made up fight between Woody and the piggy bank, calling himself Doctor Porkchop, and the last scene being their original owner giving them away to a little girl. When this movie is bad, it is BAD, but the good far outweighs that.<br /><br />6. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World- definitely the weirdest film on the list, and the biggest so-bad-it-is-good film here, but that's what makes this film good. Although the plot isn't so great (it comes from an indie comic book and involves Scott Pilgrim having to fight the League of Evil Ex-Boyfriends, no joke), it's an example of taking something horrible and turning it into something awesome. The fight scenes are the best of the year, each one ending in a really weird way (a Bollywood guy gets hit in the face with a trash can after concluding a dance number a la Slumdog Millionaire, a vegan with superpowers is tricked into drinking milk, etc.). The characters are also so weird you can't help but like them, also. It's hard to explain this one, but watch it and you'll see.<br /><br />7. The Other Guys- I expected almost nothing watching this one, but i ended up laughing my head off at this one. It has Will Ferrell doing his thing, Mark Wahlberg doing ballet, Eva Mendes roleplaying as an old lady, and Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson as two supercops. The one bad moment of the film is also the most confusing, as the Jackson and the Johnson commit suicide after their perp escapes a crime scene. Thankfully, it makes up for it by Will Ferrell and another cop literally getting into a silent fight at their funeral. Also, it has Eva Mendes, who is so unaware that she's hot in this movie that she gets confused when Wahlberg begins unconsciously kissing her neck. It also has the best sex scene of the year (don't worry parents, no actually sex or nudity is shown), because she roleplays as an old lady and Will Ferrell tells her: "I'm gonna break your hip." One of the funniest movies of the year, so watch it.<br /><br />Other notable entries include Red, The A-Team (including the best tattoo of 2010), etc.Palmer Rubinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13301436290844649804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870674328408142576.post-40336639587775640192010-11-12T00:31:00.002-05:002010-11-12T00:34:47.762-05:00Movie of the Week: November 12, 2010"Unstoppable," starring Denzel Washington<br /><br />Think of this like Thomas the Tank Engine on heroin and you get this, the story of a train with several cars with nuclear waste attached to it wreaking havoc in Nowhere-Ville, USA. It is effectively a missile, if the other cars are hit, the train will explode in a 40 mile long explosion...or at least that's what the commercial says. Reviews so far have been pretty good, and Denzel Washington is still cool, so compared to all the other crap coming out this week, this is the best choice you have.Palmer Rubinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13301436290844649804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870674328408142576.post-76487990498056398642010-11-04T22:58:00.002-04:002010-11-04T23:01:51.539-04:00Movie of the Week: November 5, 2010"Due Date," starring Robert Downey Jr, Zach Galifianakis and Jamie Foxx<br /><br />Basic story: Downey is a dude trying to get from Atlanta to LA to see the birth of his child, gets kicked off the plane, and is forced to go with Galifianakis on a road trip. Hilarity is what happens next. <br /><br />That's because this movie has got the stars of Iron Man and The Hangover, along with the director of The Hangover. This means that you should probably make the safe choice between this and the probably stupid "Megamind." Watch this movie if you want to keep your soul.Palmer Rubinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13301436290844649804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870674328408142576.post-58129084997909652152010-09-03T21:40:00.002-04:002010-09-03T21:45:00.778-04:00Movie of the Week: September 3"Machete," starring Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan, Steven Seagal, Robert De Niro, Cheech Marin and Danny Trejo<br /><br />Machete is by Robert Rodriguez, who had made some really crappy movies, the "Spy Kids" movies and "The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl." But he's also made some really badass flicks, usually with Antonio Banderas. Machete is about an ex-Mexican cop who fights against a bunch of Americans trying to get all illegal immigrants deported. The trailer looks badass, and it has Jessica Alba. 'Nuff said.

It's like Jaws. <br /><br /><br />"Vampires Suck," starring that guy from the Hangover<br /><br />It's from the fellas who made Scary Movie, so if you like that kind of thing, this is right up your alley. It also makes fun of the world's worst books and movies, Twilight, so that's another good reason. Just shut your eyes whenever a male character is shirtless (in the actual movies, which I was forced to watch, the whole damn time) and you're good.Palmer Rubinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13301436290844649804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870674328408142576.post-31392604814486042742010-08-21T00:42:00.002-04:002010-08-21T00:51:56.562-04:00Movie of the Week: August 20, 2010OK, I've been off for a while because of school, but I thought that since I have enough time now, I'll start a (generic) once a week segment called Movie of the Week, or the movie that looks the best.<br /><br />Tie between "Lottery Ticket" and "The Switch"<br /><br />"Lottery Ticket," starring Bow Wow, T-Pain, Ice Cube<br /><br />If you're a movie buff like me, you'll know that it's about a dude from the projects in Atlanta (my home town!) who wins 370 million smackers in a lottery. Then everyone starts trying to steal it from him. It's got Ice Cube, who's the only chubby rapper to be an action movie star, and T-Pain, who made "I'm On A Boat" awesome. So it looks pretty good, and at least it's not "Nanny McPhee Returns"<br /><br />"The Switch," starring Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston<br /><br />Now, normally, you're not gonna find a rom-com on the blog because of my gender (male), but this one actually looks funny. Bateman is Jennifer Aniston's best friend who is secretly into her (it's kind of hard to see how). She's getting old, so she decides to get artificially inseminated by sticking a baster (read: big eye dropper) into her nether regions and squirting some...uh...you know...in there to get her pregnant. To do this in the worst way possible, she has an entire party just so the donor can jack off into a little cup, then she'll put the stuff in a baster. It would've just worked out better if they'd just had sex, but a drunk Bateman accidentally destroys the stuff, and out of desperation jacks off into the cup. So the kid is actually his.<br /><br />The kid is a paranoid, horror-movie looking kid who talks about diseases I can't even pronounce. But the kid's the best part, whoever they picked is a natural. So yes, it's a rom-com with Jennifer Aniston, but it's about really weird ways to have a kid. I promise this will be the only rom-com to pop up here.Palmer Rubinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13301436290844649804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870674328408142576.post-29791778120433749982010-03-30T22:01:00.001-04:002010-03-30T22:01:13.230-04:00formspring.meAsk me anything <a href="http://formspring.me/Palmer1234" target="_blank">http://formspring.me/Palmer1234</a>Palmer Rubinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13301436290844649804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870674328408142576.post-7024861722297577842010-03-30T21:54:00.001-04:002010-03-30T21:54:09.190-04:00formspring.meAsk me anything <a href="http://formspring.me/Palmer1234" target="_blank">http://formspring.me/Palmer1234</a>Palmer Rubinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13301436290844649804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870674328408142576.post-8315376564784663702010-03-30T21:52:00.003-04:002010-03-30T21:52:46.902-04:00formspring.meAsk me anything <a href="http://formspring.me/Palmer1234" target="_blank">http://formspring.me/Palmer1234</a>Palmer Rubinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13301436290844649804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870674328408142576.post-33533147397345850812010-03-30T21:52:00.001-04:002010-03-30T21:52:41.597-04:00formspring.meAsk me anything <a href="http://formspring.me/Palmer1234" target="_blank">http://formspring.me/Palmer1234</a>Palmer Rubinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13301436290844649804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870674328408142576.post-10099880389292695562010-03-02T22:14:00.001-05:002010-03-02T22:14:06.615-05:00formspring.meAsk me anything <a href="http://formspring.me/Palmer1234" target="_blank">http://formspring.me/Palmer1234</a>Palmer Rubinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13301436290844649804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870674328408142576.post-8568655257017622572010-03-02T22:05:00.001-05:002010-03-02T22:05:03.608-05:00formspring.meAsk me anything <a href="http://formspring.me/Palmer1234" target="_blank">http://formspring.me/Palmer1234</a>Palmer Rubinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13301436290844649804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870674328408142576.post-7944087827926732642010-03-02T22:04:00.001-05:002010-03-02T22:04:34.988-05:00formspring.me <p class="formspringmeQuestion"> <strong>When was the last time you received flowers?</strong> </p> <p class="formspringmeAnswer">I'm a guy, why would I get flowers for anything?</p><p class="formspringmeFooter"> <a href="http://formspring.me/Palmer1234">Ask me anything</a></p>Palmer Rubinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13301436290844649804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870674328408142576.post-82796452328734429652009-11-06T19:24:00.004-05:002009-11-06T19:39:55.285-05:00Movie Review "Land of the Lost""Land of the Lost," with Will Ferrell<br /><br />I didn't know till the movie came out in theaters that this was based on a TV show. I was even more worried when my parents told me that the show this was based on not only was stupid, but also wasn't even successful or popular back when it came out in the 70s. And worst of all, this film proves why Will Ferrell has only been in four good movies (the first two Austin Powers films, Talladega Nights, and Blades of Glory).<br /><br />This movie takes every funny thing you can imagine and throws it out the window. It uses scatological humor (Will Ferrell gets pooped out of a T-Rex) and plain old stupid humor (Will Ferrell makes out with a primitive human). None of it is funny, and it involves his character creating a broken down looking device that sends him, another scientist and a general shop owner to the Land of the Lost, where past, present, and future are all mixed up. There Will Ferrell attempts to play action hero, fighting a T-Rex and reptile things called Sleestaks (and a tunic foreshadows the whole movie). So that's about it. Don't watch it, unless you want Jurasic Park combined with Back to the Future and a little bit of The Matrix with none of the awesomeness.<br /><br />Score: 4/10Palmer Rubinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13301436290844649804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870674328408142576.post-13975880605828402942009-10-31T22:19:00.002-04:002009-10-31T22:34:45.091-04:00Movie Review "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra""G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra," with Channing Tautum, Dennis Quaid, one of the Wayan brothers, and that guy who was in that "(500) Days of Summer" movie<br /><br /><br />The same guy who made this made The Mummy (the one with Brenden Fraser, who makes a cameo), so they both are the same thing. Cheesy. As hell. For people who were not kids in the 80s, this movie is based on the newer G.I. Joe stuff, not the original. So that's why there's laser guns, ninjas, and really tacky armor that would make Iron Man go into hysterics. The movie has been made for both kids and adults at the same time. But maybe that's why it's so good.<br /><br />I hated this movie at first. The first several minute consists of some guy in the 1600s getting burned in the face, and some army guys being attacked by dudes with *squeal* laser guns. Eventually, it gets to the point where, stupid or not, you can't help but like it.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong, this is good, but Transformers outdoes it by a lot. It looks better, has better characters, plot, and a lot more laughs. In Transformers, the comedy is unintentional and therefore hilarious. In this, they try on purpose, and mess up. There's also some things that even as sci-fi as this movie gets, cannot possibly happen. The redheaded woman (who is the "Megan Fox" of the movie and almost as hot) graduated college at twelve, according to another one of the Joes. A woman that hot graduating at that age? Nahhhh. And in another scene, where Channing Tautum's character is led into the evil lair, in the freezing cold wearing a leather jacket and jeans and everyone else is wearing thin clothes, how come they act like it's Miami? God knows.<br /><br />But if you want a decent action flick (and you don't mind Iron Man ripoffs), then this is for you. But don't expect anything spectacular.<br /><br />Score: 7/10<br /><br />Hot Redhead Chick Score: 9.9/10Palmer Rubinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13301436290844649804noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870674328408142576.post-57884283232829924842009-10-25T22:58:00.002-04:002009-10-25T23:30:26.791-04:00Movie Review "Year One""Year One," with Jack Black, Michael Cera, Paul Rudd, Harold Ramis, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse (McLovin!)<br /><br />Year One is like what Ghostbusters would be if it was a Geico commercial. That's actually kind of a good thing. The movie combines hilarious moments with some really bad ones. Thankfully, it's more funny than not funny. <br /><br /><br />Year One actually has some untold back story. First of all, it's not really "year one," more like year nine hundred something, since Adam (Harold Ramis) as an old man appears in it. But anyway, apparently the cavemen have settled where the Garden of Eden is, because on of them (Jack Black) eats the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. He comments that it has a "sort of knowledge-y taste." Not really, since him and Michael Cera get kicked out of their cavemen tribe, and form (according to Black's character) the "muscle tribe of power and excellence." So they wander around the Middle East and biblical history from Cain and Abel to Sodom. It's funny especially because Black's character (named Zed) is convinced he's chosen by God to do something, while Cera's character (named Oh) ends up inventing atheism when he wanders in Sodom's holy room where the "gods" are said to be. The comments involving them are mostly hilarious and will have you in hysterics.<br /><br />Which is where it screws up. Sort of. Christopher Mintz-Plasse (playing the role of a "McLovin-ized" Issac) has some of the worst lines in the movie, and it's Harold Ramis' (the director) fault. After films like Superbad, he deserves a much better role. And there's way too many scatological stuff. All of that is mostly Michael Cera, as he pukes, gives an oil rub to a hairy makeup wearing fat guy, and pees into his own nose while he's upside down. Meanwhile, Jack Black eats bear crap (literally). Other than that and some really stupid characters (Cain and Abel, everyone but Zed, Oh, a hot princess, Abraham and Issac), the movie is really good. But if you don't like Ghostbusters (which you should), then you shouldn't watch this.<br /><br />Score: 8/10<br /><br />McLovin score: 11/10Palmer Rubinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13301436290844649804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870674328408142576.post-34931516455418202042009-10-14T18:09:00.003-04:002009-10-14T18:26:48.205-04:00Movie Review "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" and "My Life in Ruins"Yeah, it's been almost a week since I saw these, but I'll try to review them.<br /><br />"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," with everyone from all of the other Harry Potter movies<br /><br />This movie's plot is a lot simpler than the other ones. The plot is "ooooh, even wizards have girl trouble and Dumbledore dies." Yeah. He dies. But since it's been half a decade since the book came out (I think), it's not that shocking. It's kind of funny in some parts, actually. There are moments that will make you crack up. But the best parts of the book are the worst parts of the movie. But if you're not a big-time Harry Potter fan, it won't be that painful. The plot also involves looking at memories about the series' main villain, Voldemort (who appears for about two seconds in the movie). Boring stuff, obviously made to look like a horror movie. It's boring. Almost all of it is.<br /><br /><br />6/10<br /><br /><br />"My Life in Ruins," starring that woman from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"<br /><br />"My Big Fat Greek Wedding" in Greece. That is the whole movie. Woman has no life, finds perfect male on first try. But while the Big Fat Greek Wedding is actually funny, probably one of the best rom-coms out there (and since 99% of rom-coms sucks, when I like one, that's good). But take that, take everything good out of it, and you have this. The main character is a woman tour guide. She's an American Greek living in Greece. She has no life. Damn it. She constantly bitches about this, talking to her bearded bus driver about "how she hasn't had sex in forever" (that is not an actual quote). Then she takes her "last tour" with an eccentric group of people, and BOOM, suddenly she has everything. <br /><br />Again, Big Fat Greek Wedding got away with this really good. This one doesn't. One scene in it is the one I remember the most, and the one that proves that either the woman who made this (also the main actress) has ran out of ideas or she forgot how to make things funny. Her, the bus driver, and her tour group are on a crappy bus driving, and her character introduces the bus driver. He says he wants the tour to know his nickname, and he says into the microphone she puts in front of his face, "Poopi." Later on, he announces that his last name is "Kakas." Both times, the tour laughs their heads off. <br /><br />So Poopi Kakas the bus driver is actually the romantice interest. Wow, that's funny. And this movie really isn't going to be for anyone but fans of Big fat Greek Wedding. This one is more like Big Fat Greek Who Gives A Crap. Sounded stupid, yeah, but that's what this movie is.<br /><br />Score: 4/10Palmer Rubinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13301436290844649804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870674328408142576.post-38062493581012077812009-10-09T16:58:00.001-04:002009-10-09T17:00:13.315-04:00Facebook CauseHey all,<br /><br />I just joined a Cause on Facebook about destroying all hate groups towards Israel.

I only heard two words from him (since I couldn't hear anything else he said), but once I heard "BRAD PITT?!" in his redneck voice (and I love this guy because he's hilarious), I knew it was the real deal. My dad's first response to this was trying to get me to get an autograph, but I didn't. I did see him giving a fist pound to some guy at the security checkpoint though. Ha ha. But all that moment needed was a "GIT-R-DONE" and it would've been perfect.Palmer Rubinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13301436290844649804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870674328408142576.post-28832116970697774372009-10-03T10:22:00.002-04:002009-10-03T10:27:07.548-04:00Book Review "The Lost Symbol""The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown<br /><br />It's the sequel to the Da Vinci Code and it's awesome. It has all kinds of cliches (meaning that the plot is recycled from all of his other books), but it probably will have a movie out in three years. <br /><br />The plot is Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks' character) running around Washington D.C. to find an ancient treasure of the Freemasons. Yeah, who cares, but there is a lot of plot twists if you pay attention to the characters. Yeah, there isn't much to say about this book, but if there's one book you should buy this year, this is it. Just ignore anything you don't understand and you'll have fun.Palmer Rubinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13301436290844649804noreply@blogger.com0
