Pineapple Express: Review

3.5 stars out of 5

7.4 stars out of 10

Directed by David Gordon Green

Staring Seth Rogen and James Franco

For personal reasons, I wanted this movie to be amazing. And it was, for at least the first half. I love any movie in which all of the paranoid pot derived delusions of the protagonists are spot on and keep them one step in front of the bad guys. I couldn’t begin to keep track of all the quotable moments, since they were so rapid fire that the laughing from one blended into the laughing at the next. I really loved seeing this on imdb: “In the scene where Dale and Saul are beating up Red in his house, Red's cold sore first appears, then disappears, then appears again”. Extra half a star for a disappearing cold sore whether it was make-up or brought to the set by the actor Danny McBride.

But somewhere at the halfway point, the quick witted pot-talk went stale and the action scenes turned into boring shoot outs in which no one seems to say down. By the time the fourth assumed-to-be down bad guy was reanimated, I had checked out. I must blame this on the direction of David Gordon Green who’s other films include the critically acclaimed and Roeper’s hot pick ‘Snow Angels’, a film that has been on my “to see” list for a while. His lack of experience with the action genre killed this movie and is making me reconsider my unquestioning love for anything attached to the producer, Judd Apaptow. It was good to see old friends, Seth Rogen and James Franco, pair up on screen. It takes me back to the good old days of “Freaks and Geeks”, the Apatow directed short lived TV series. My recommendation is then to see this film written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg IF you can pay matinee prices and be high as balls.
Call me if you need anything.

Trouble on Religion

I have to say the strangest type of movies that i dig are Evangelical Christrian Documenteries. But then again I love horror movies. Hell House and Jesus Camp are the scariest reality movies on the market today. I think of them when i think about Christianity in American society. And when I notice eye catching News articles such as this.

Mega church shooting.

"Police would not discuss whether there was any connection
between the church shootings and an attack on a missionary training center outside
Denver about 12 hours earlier thatleft two people dead and two wounded."

I mean what the fuck! Get in there reporters ! I don't pay you to let gems like this go without further investigations. In fact, I don't pay you at all!

I’m a Witch . . . no, with a ‘W’.

No one believes me when I say I don’t like kids*…. But I have to say, I don’t see the appeal.

The other day I was looking to distract myself from school work and resorted to my guilty pleasure, TV. Scrolling through the menus I turned on a movie called ‘Witches’ which I hoped was a campy horror flick. It was campy and it turned out I had seen it before when I was a kid. It was an adaptation of a Roald Dahl classic about a boy who comes across a coven of witches while on a family vacation. And the Witches on it are all about killing kids. They La-OVed it! They thought they smelled (which everybody knows they do…) and liked to turn kids into mice and step on them. As a child I really didn’t appreciate how annoy me and my little friends really were. I feel sorry for my parents having to deal with me. Face it, kids are really just stupid. They don’t know how do anything and apparently you have to take care of them or the government jumps down your back. And as my mom would streak at me, while she took a swigs from her Jack Daniel's bottle, children steal your youth and your looks.
