Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?

So, I saw this preview today for the new Morgan Spurlock Documentary "Where In The World is Osama Bin Laden?" and it looks pretty hilarious. I am really biased when it comes to anything produced by Spurlock, just because I am pretty sure he is one of those guys who is just out to make a buck disguising his bullshit as educated research. Spurlock is best known for his 'documentary' "Super Size Me" and his show "30 Days", but lots of people don't know that he also created the show that was on MTV a while ago "I Bet You Will" in which people did ridiculous and disgusting things to get a few dollars. Anyways, I don't really take him very seriously but this new film looks really funny, like something I can enjoy even if I don't believe every word coming out of the guy's mouth. Here's the preview, and watch until the end because for some reason whoever uploaded this video added a cheesy advertisement after the trailer... that just made me laugh extra...




By the way, don't get this movie confused with the book "Where's Bin Laden?" which is basically "Where's Waldo?" with Terrorists. :D

Punisher: War Zone

NOBODY IS GOING TO WATCH THIS MOVIE. Why would you, you probably didn't give a shit about the 2 other incarnations of this comic turned film. And how could you not? The first had the shining acting abilities of Dolph Lundgren and the second was the catalyst for Thomas Jane's entire career & had the world's greatest villian... John Travolta. So, who does Ray Stevensen think he is that he can just waltz in and play the Punisher. No really, who is he?? Why did they make this? This movie looks like crap.

Fool's Gold

This movie is amazing! The perfect romantic comedy treasure hunt adventure. The cast is great, the story is fantastic, I loved everything about it. I love treasure hunt films, but most tend to be let downs, this one is genuinely good! It sends you on a fun journey, and the stuntwork in it is wonderful. If you dig movies like "National Treasure" or "How to Lose a Guy in 10 days" you'll get a kick out of this one out next week on DVD.

Watching The Detectives

Cillian Murphy AND Lucy Liu in a movie I'd never heard of, OF COURSE I'm gonna watch it!
As I put "Watching The Detectives" in the DVD player, I began to recognize a couple of names in the opening credits; Steve Lemme, Eric Stolhanske, Director Paul Soter. This movie is from a couple of the Broken Lizard guys! Broken Lizard is the amazing comedy team behind "Beerfest" and "Super Troopers", I'm a huge fan so this epiphany totally made my night. The movie was really good. It's about this video store owner/movie aficionado who meets a girl that prefers living an adventurous life over watching one. Madness ensues. Love the cast, love the story, love the look. At the end of it all that was running through my head was "modern day film noir!" It's definitely a movie that appealed to me. Rent it next week!

Meet The Spartans

Not as horrible as the other parody crap fests that have been out recently (i.e Epic Movie, Delta Farce). "Meet The Spartans" is different from the recent parodies in that it actually follows the storyline of "300", which kind of makes it easier to watch the whole thing. Most of the comedy is drawn from the recent game show craze TV has been facing, and the rest of the jokes are typically disjointed like those made in "Epic Movie". After the Wayan Bros. left the Scary Movie franchise behind, a team of horribly un funny writers have been struggling to recapture the humor of the parody genre. This movie is just another dumb comedy trying to get your buck at the box office. If you are into the recent string of crappy parodies this is one of the better ones and you may find it funny. Personally I don't get the point of putting money into a comedy that is only funny for the five minutes that the jokes are relevant, but I suppose someone out there is watching cuz they keep making them (all starring Carmen Electra, strangely). There were a few highlights to this movie though, for one, what I mentioned about the storyline following "300". This kept the film interesting, particularly to "300" fans. Secondly, the acting is a notch above other parodies. King Leonides is played by a relative unknown Sean Maguire who has GREAT comedic timing and is perfect in the role, Kevin Sorbo aka Hercules is the Captain of the King's army and very funny, and finally Carmen Electra is given a role that requires substantial lines... she is actually a pretty good actress. Generally she is seen running in underwear for a moment, but her role as the Queen of Sparta gives her a chance to actually act (along with her stereotypical sex bomb moments) and it is just surprisingly good. Also exciting to me, personally, one of the main Spartan soldiers is this guy Alicia and I used to hang out with at Universal Studios. Chris Gann, who's also credited as a stuntman in the movie, played the Mariner at Universal's Waterworld show... he's one of the coolest guys & I never forgot him. So it's very cool to be watching a movie and see him all of a sudden on screen. Oh I almost forgot, but the actress who plays Britney Spears also plays Paris Hilton and Paula Abdul... its cool to see someone play 3 characters in a film and not even realize it until you see the credits, check out the poster Paris & Britney both = actress Nicole Parker. The acting is really good for a parody film and that is probably what encouraged my favorable review. Otherwise, the jokes are pretty awful and the weird current nods to pop culture are annoying. OH I can't believe I almost forgot, several times this movie makes references to puns that were deleted from the final cut (just like Epic Movie did), and the DVD has a whole special on a Dane Cook parody which was not in the final cut, so that is also pretty annoying. Anyways, thats all I have to say about it really. Not necessarily my cup of tea.
