Hazard and I watched “Boat Trip” on TV. This is a hilarious comedy about two guys who, in their quest for lots of young beautiful women willing to have sex, ended up on a ship at gay tour, with practically males only onboard.
Apart from a large quantity of jokes, I really enjoyed acting in this film. Particularly, Cuba Gooding Jr. delivered and excellent performance. Award winning even.
Watch it and don’t believe a low rating at IMDB. Believe me. 7 out of 10.
Some people can use any object what-so-ever to produce another object what-so-ever. Such people are rare, but when found they really never stop to amaze. Here are pictures of what you can create out of computer mice – everything from flower-pots to airplanes.
I am officially fed up with Ben Stiller acting. As far as I can remember, he was good only a two comedy movies that I have seen: “Meet the Parents” and “There’s Something About Mary“, both of which had other good actors to soften the effect, so I might be wrong here.
Recently, I have seen so much suckage with Ben that I cannot take it anymore. “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story” suffered because of him. “Envy” was spoiled by him. In “Starsky & Hutch” totally sucked and Ben added a lot to the result.
I think I am at my limit with him now. So I decided not to rent any other movies with him for some time. Just in case he will come up with a good movie, I still have a tiny drop of patience for one single movie. After that is a total bye-bye. That one movie though I will be very picky about.
Now, here, I said it…
I just watched “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story“.
It is a pretty average comedy based on a very regular story. There was nothing special about it what-so-ever and I don’ know what’s the big hype is all about. This movie is not exactly a comedy. I don’t know what it is, but it is surely not a comedy. There are so many movies that go along these lines that I think we are in need for a new genre. A bunch of guys are about to lose their gym. They need 50,000 dollars to pay the bills or the gym will be overtaken by the evil competitor. Trying to raise funds, they participate in a dodgeball championship and win it. Along the way, they make much more money than they need and overtake the evil competitor too. Some romance and few jokes mixed in there all together.
Casting was pretty straight forward – Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, and Christine Taylor. Soundtrack was average too. Jokes weren’t particularly smart, neither were they particularly stupid.
5 out of 10.
Today I decided that enough time has passed since I’ve watched both “Kill Bill: Vol.1” and “Kill Bill: Vol.2“, so I rented both DVDs. I did that for three reasons.
Firstly, I started to miss them a lot and it was about time I watched them. So I did.
Secondly, I wanted to make up my mind if these two are a single movie cut into two pieces of these two are two separate movies. It is kind of difficult to judge on this when about 6 month pass between watching two parts. So I watched both of them in a single day and … I still cannot make my mind. I am closer to the opinion of two separate movies though. They have been shot differently, they have been paced differently, and they different content. First movie is all about setting up the story and providing lots of bloody fights, while the second one is about character development and a small bit of drama and philosophy. Parts are very well connected though.
Thirdly, I was interested in bonus materials. My appetites were satisfied. First disk contained “The Making of ‘Kill Bill’“, while the second had “The Making of ‘Kill Bill: Volume 2’“. Both provided a bunch of interviews with Quentin Tarantino, Uma Thurman, and few other members of the crew.
Great experience.
