Crazy Stupid Love


This movie is crazy, awesome fun. It is one of the best romantic comedies to come out in awhile with the same feel as When Harry Met Sally. It covers old love, new love, true love, disintegrating love, unrequited love, and plain ol' lust. There's something sweet about a wounded Steve Carell that makes me want to take care of him, so I fell even more in love Ryan Gosling when he does. Everyone in the film has great chemistry, created a wonderfully relatable cast. The best though is Steve Carell's son, a lovelorn 13 year old, convinced that his soul mate in his 17 year old babysitter. He's truly the heart of the film. A film that steals your heart and makes you laugh until you can't breathe.

Fright Night (2011)


This is one of those rare moments when a remake is better than the original. I liked everything about this movie from the actors and the characters they played to the story and dialogue. A perfect horror comedy filled with all the fun and chills expected from the hybrid genre thanks in large part to the incredible script by Marti Noxon. Colin Farrell plays the perfect dangerous, alluring and sexy vampire which contrasts well with Anton Yelchin's geeky boy next door. This was positively a truly entertaining film and worth watching and laughing at again and again.

Colombiana

Luc Besson has done it again. Another great film featuring a deadly female assassin just looking for some peace of mind. I love watching a chick kicking ass and Zoe Saldana was kicking it good. You don't want to fuck with Cataleya or get on her list, because she will fuck you up and mark you with the orchid she's named after.
