Movie Review: Rango

Image
4.5 out of 5 stars I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I agreed to see Rango. I'll admit that I wanted to see it every since seeing the first preview. My friend Marshall was talking it up like crazy. The preview kind of hooked me, well that and the fact that I love Johnny Depp, wheter as an actor or just as a mere voiceover as he was in this movie. The other factor that was turning me slightly away was that there was no hint of a plot direction. Rango: So you want something to believe in? [ points at the "Sheriff" sign ] Rango: Believe in that there sign. For as long as it hangs there we've got hope. I think in life we go see movies without any knowledge of what the movie means or what it is about, other times the movie chooses us. Movie opens and we find out that Rango, which is not his real name, is not a hero but far from it. Although he has no clue who he is, the director makes us see that he wants a chance to be a hero and to leave ...

And you thought Norwegians were dumb

Thanks for sharing mom.. Norwegian Math Test A Norwegian fella wants a job, but the foreman won't hire him until he passes a little math test. Here is your first question, the foreman said. 'Without using numbers, represent the number 9.' 'Without numbers?' The Norwegian says, 'Dat's easy.' and proceeds to draw three trees. 'What's this?' the boss asks. 'Vot! you got no brain? Tree and tree and tree make nine,' says the Norwegian. 'Fair enough,' says the boss. 'Here's your second question. Use the same rules, but this time the number is 99.' The Norwegian stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture that he has just drawn and makes a smudge on each tree. 'Dar ya go.' The boss scratches his head and says, 'How on earth do you get that to represent 99?' 'Each of DA trees is dirty now. So, it's dirty tree, and dirty tree, and dirty tree. Dat is 99.' The boss is getting wo...

Too funny not to share

Thank you Collette for the repost. Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again invited readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are the winners: 1. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time. 2. Ignoranus : A person who's both stupid and an asshole. 3. Intaxicaton : Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with. 4. Reintarnation : Coming back to life as a hillbilly. 5. Bozone ( n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future. 6. Foreploy : Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.. 7. Giraffiti : Vandalism spray-painted very, very high 8. Sarchasm : The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and...

Movie Review: "Get Him To The Greek"

4 out of 5 stars This was a very funny film. I am a big fan of Jonah Hill since his days with Adam Sandlers production company in "Grandma's Boy". He didn't really make his mark until SuperBad. There is just something very likable about this guy. He seems like the guy next door or the friend you had in High School. He makes fun at life and doesn't take things too seriously. P-Diddy was funny in this movie, but I think he was cast outside the role of himself. I must admit that I am not a huge p-Diddy fan. Although he is an artist, he is not original. With that being said, he seemed like a crazy agent in this movie and compared to a Will Farrell on crack in this movie. Not bad but not great. Russell Brand was good and this seemed like a logical "left off" point from "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" He was funny, had some great one liners and was great comedy in this role. At some point and time in this film, you can relate to him i...
