<p>The art was interesting and different.  The storylines flowed together really well.</p>
<p>I just didn&#8217;t really like the voice talent.  Some of the main people just didn&#8217;t sound like the characters they were portraying.</p>
<p>But, overall, it was a very good animated film!   And from what I&#8217;ve been told, it follows the maxi-series by the same title almost frame per frame.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We of course all love <a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0163651/" title="American Pie" target="_blank">American Pie</a>, <a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0252866/" title="American Pie 2" target="_blank">American Pie 2</a>, and <a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0328828/" title="American Wedding" target="_blank">American Wedding</a>.  Not everyone knows this, but there are also 3 straight-to-DVD American Pie films&#8230; one of which is <a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0974959/" title="Beta House" target="_blank">American Pie Presents: Beta House</a>.</p>
<p>This movie was filled with some of the most outrageous raunchy humor around.  There were drunk antics, speculation of she-males, and sex with a goat.</p>
<p>What I&#8217;m trying to say is this was FUNNY!  I&#8217;m sure there are many people in the older generations who will find it rediculous and uncalled for&#8230; but for a 20something male like myself, it was hilarious!</p>
<p>So if you don&#8217;t like the f-bomb, sex jokes, nudity, and TONS MORE sex jokes&#8230; don&#8217;t bother with this.  If you&#8217;re into that sort of thing, it&#8217;s a surprisingly must see.  I thought it&#8217;d be crap&#8230; but it made me laugh a LOT!</p>

<p>Well, at least the story is cool.</p>
<p>Lots of espionage and such in this flick, as well as a ton of interwoven characters!  The story had several twists I was NOT expecting.  It had a lot of energy and kept you guessing, and on the edge of your seat.</p>
<p>What I didn&#8217;t like, however, was the style.  This whole show a bit, rewind, show again plus some, rewind, show again with more&#8230; it&#8217;s been done.  I&#8217;m sure they THOUGHT they were being original with it (and, I GUESS it was kind of clever in a way)&#8230; but it&#8217;s an idea that&#8217;s been played to death.  They even did it once on Dawson&#8217;s Creek!</p>
<p>So, I guess what I&#8217;m saying here is that Vantage Point is a must see&#8230; just be warned that the style in which the story is presented might irritate you a bit.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Will Farrel&#8217;s new movie Semi-Pro is all about the basketball team the Flint Michigan Tropics.
This movie is supposed to be a comedy.  Key word?  SUPPOSED!  It fails.
Well, don&#8217;t get me wrong, it&#8217;s an ok movie.  It&#8217;s got a simple story, but it&#8217;s entertaining at least with the costumed dancing, the bad playing of the team, [...]]]></description>

<p>This movie is supposed to be a comedy.  Key word?  SUPPOSED!  It fails.</p>
<p>Well, don&#8217;t get me wrong, it&#8217;s an ok movie.  It&#8217;s got a simple story, but it&#8217;s entertaining at least with the costumed dancing, the bad playing of the team, and of course Will Farrel getting beat up by a bear!</p>
<p>But&#8230; is it funny?  I wouldn&#8217;t say so.  Most of the film is kind of bland at best.  Granted, I laughed at a few scenes&#8230; but it wasn&#8217;t enough for me to call this movie &#8220;funny&#8221;.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a Will Farrell fan, you might really enjoy this.  If you&#8217;re not&#8230; you&#8217;ll only be mildly amused.</p>

I felt like the combo of Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson wasn&#8217;t as strong here as it was in &#8220;How to lose a guy in 10 Days&#8221; I also think this was Donald Sutherland&#8217;s worst performance to date.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the movies to come out over the weekend was &#8220;<a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0770752/" title="fool's gold" target="_blank">Fool&#8217;s Gold</a>&#8220;.</p>
<p>I felt like the combo of Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson wasn&#8217;t as strong here as it was in &#8220;<a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0251127/" title="how to lose a guy in 10 days" target="_blank">How to lose a guy in 10 Days</a>&#8221; I also think this was Donald Sutherland&#8217;s worst performance to date.</p>
<p>The girl who playd Sutherland&#8217;s daughter was annoying as HELL!</p>
<p>The bad guys weren&#8217;t really convincing.</p>
<p>What I&#8217;m saying here is that the acting was pretty forced and kinda crappy.</p>
<p>The story, though was good.</p>
<p>The pacing was a bit slow (especially during history lesson scenes).</p>
<p>All-in-all, it felt almost like&#8230; National Treasure meets How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.  It was odd.</p>

<p>I did see most of it though, and I didn&#8217;t really like it.  I&#8217;ll admit that the music was fairly decent, but I think it was one of Jack Black&#8217;s weakest performances to date, and the story didn&#8217;t thrill me either.</p>
<p>I was going to say Joan Cusack wasn&#8217;t  very good either&#8230; but those who know me know I think John is by far the superior Cusack sibling.</p>

<p>It was ok.</p>
<p>I was expecting a laugh riot&#8230; what I got was a fairly slow-paced film that had a couple of comedic parts and a couple of tear jerking parts (YES, I cried).</p>
<p>The acting was very good (duh!  Look who&#8217;s in it!), and the story was unique&#8230; but it got old after a while and I started losing interest pretty quickly.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure the plethera of senior citizens in the audience loved it and felt some strong ties with the characters and the story&#8230; but for me, as a 20-something, it was pretty dull.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t hate it.  Like I said, it had good points&#8230; but it was just ok for me.</p>

<p>There were a couple of plot points that I didn&#8217;t agree with out of personal taste, but all-in-all, I thought this was a very good film.</p>

<p>This movie is awful!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s slightly amusing in some place, and is a cool little easter-egg film with TONS of cameos, but that&#8217;s where the good words stop.  The story was stupid as hell, the pacing was off, the acting was crap, and with exception of a couple of jokes it wasn&#8217;t very funny.</p>
<p>There is no reason to watch this movie.  If you haven&#8217;t seen it, don&#8217;t.  It&#8217;s 104 minutes of pointlessness</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have had the movie &#8220;The Oh! In Ohio&#8221; sitting around my room for quite some time now, so I decided to watch it the other night.</p>
<p>It was ok.</p>
<p>The acting wasn&#8217;t as believable as it could be, the story is about a woman who&#8217;s never orgasmed (and when she does, she becomes addicted to it), but it looked good.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a few stars in it: Danny Devito, Paul Rudd, and the star is Parker Posey.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s got some funny parts in it, but all in all it didn&#8217;t have me really caring enough about the characters or what happened with their relationships&#8230; which was what the movie was all about.  So basically, it failed&#8230; but like I said, it was good for a couple of chuckles.</p>
