Friday - yeah, weekend finally!, 3. September 2010

Short, independant flick reviews! Read about it, before you watch it!

Zack and Miri Make a Porno - great Kevin Smith movie

Short review: Lifelong loser friends choose making an amateur adult film their only way out of financial issues - hilarious flick, highly recommended!

The plot in a nutshell: Zack and Miri are broke and desperate for funding since their bills have not been paid in months. After some serious thinking over a few beers, they decide to shoot a porn flick assuming at least anyone who went to school with them would be interested in watching it, making their focus group at least 800 people strong ;-) While they cast co-actors and build up a filming crew with a little help of their friends, they also discover something they would never have expected to find out.

Flickcritique says: This movie is insulting, obscene, disgusting and I love it! It’s absolutely awesome! I am not a big fan of Seth Rogen, I thought he sucked a bit in Pineapple Express but director Kevin Smith just knows how to make actors shine. The entire cast makes a great job. I pissed my pants listening to the conversations about finding the right title for the flick :-) In the end they choose Start Whores I believe. It’s also a movie that educates the audience, since I learned a few new terms. My favorite is “Dutch rudder” . It is the second romantic comedy this year that I liked, after What Happens in Vegas. The ending is a bit of a cliché but that’s all right, considering how out of the ordinary the entire movie is.

Flickcritique says: Watch it :-D

Watch it if you liked: Any movie directed by Kevin Smith like Dogma (1999), Clerks (2000), Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) - this man is a genius :-)

Edit: I almost forgot to mention the outstanding performance of Justin Long. Kudos to him for his short but extremely impressive part :-D

W. – read an honest review now!

Honest movie review: George Bush junior’s, the 43rd POTUS’ life excellent movie, highly recommended! :-D

The Plot in a nutshell: Till turning 30 or so work-shy George Walker, born with the burden of being a Bush spends most of his time gambling, drinking and parting before he figures out the only way to impress his father and gain his respect he’s seeking for is to succeed in something, anything.  As luck would have it, he goes for politics and does better anyone could expect from a simple fella like Georgie aka W.

Flickcritique says: It positively is one of my favourite movies! The entire cast is fantasticJosh Brolin also seen last year in No Country for Old Men makes an amazing George Bush double! The mimic, the posture, the gestures - everything is perfect! In fact, I think Josh Brolin is the better President Bush :-) Also, never before has the cabinet of a president has been rebuilt so well. The kudos go especially to Toby Jones for being an amazing Karl Rove, Dennis Boutsikaris staging excellently Paul Wolfowiz,  Richard Dreyfuss for playing a great Dick Chaney and last but not least to Thandie Newton for giving the spectators an almost lovable Condoleeza Rice. My respect to Oliver Stone and the entire film crew :-D Great job guys, it’s as much a pleasure to watch your movie as to write an honest review about it :-)

Favorite movie quote: 
Frustrated governor George Bush senior to his offspring: Partying, chasing-tail, drunkdriving… who do you think you are?! A Kennedy?!

Watch it if you liked: My movie-addicted friends told me that Nixon (1995) with Anthony Hopkins playing the only president who reigned to avoid being impeached because of the Watergate scandal was similar to W. but honestly I did not have a chance to watch it yet, so this a comparison under reserve.
