High Holiday


A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas (2011)
Dir - Todd Strauss-Schulson

Christmas movies should really only be watched between the window of Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. Sometimes I'll make an exception about halfway through the year but it's not common. Luckily there were still a few theaters around showing this in 3D so I could catch it the day after the great turkey gorging. The other two Harold and Kumar movies are great. The second not nearly as good as the first, but it still has plenty of laughs. Yes, they are stupid but I like it and don't care.

This has some great 3D. I mean really, who doesn't like claymation cocks, slow-mo jizz or beer pong balls flying off the screen? There were a couple of inside jokes here in reference to Kal Penn and John Cho's other works that I was the only one laughing at, as well as some grooming habits of a very naughty nurse. I laughed pretty damn hard a lot and I was probably one of the few in the theater not under the influence of any substance. I do think that Wafflebot is one of the greatest fake inventions ever and I will be keeping my fingers crossed until he becomes a reality.

This is now my second fave in the series and I'll definitely be buying the home release and revisiting for years to come.

It's Magic


Fright Night (2011)
Dir - Craig Gillespie

Heard some fairly good things about this so I went to see this remake that I was mostly against. Overall I enjoyed the film but the majority of the CGI is just a notch or two above that of a SyFy Original Movie. The best of these VFX are at the very end. An interesting take on the original that hits the main points but does so differently.

More on my next post...

Maid of Dishonor


Bridesmaids (2011)
Dir - Paul Feig

I've heard many mixed things about this, but I really enjoyed it. Probably a tad too long but it held my interest, kept me laughing and had much more heart than I expected. Wiig and Rudolph are always funny but Melissa McCarthy stole the film for me. I especially love everything with her and her real life husband Ben Falcone, Air Marshall Jon. Oh, and awesome musical group cameo!
