Review: NO STRINGS ATTACHED

No Strings Attached is a sweet and earnest romantic comedy that is very modern in its premise and yet has a surprisingly conservative payoff. Can friends have sex and stay friends? According to this movie the answer is no. This being a romantic comedy, you know they have to fall in love in the end, so you see it coming and yet this clashes so much against the philosophy through out of the rest of the movie that it bothered me enough to that the movie was no longer enjoyable as it had been for the previous hour and a half. I wish for the creative forces in Hollywood to be bold enough to do something different; I can keep wishing but I don’t think that is going to happen.

Review: ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO

So Zack and Miri made a porno. Then I reviewed it.

Basic Summary (Spoilers May Occur) - not major ones though!

Zack (Seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) are two friends who have known each other in the platonic way since 1st grade. Now they live in a little loft in the suburbs. However, neither of them have jobs that are that great. Zack works with his best friend Delany (Craig Robinson) at a coffee shop known as Bean-n-Gone, under an unforgiving boss (Gerry Bednob). After work one day, Zack purchases a 'self pleasure' item, and subsequently finds out he cannot pay the bills for the month. The power and water get shut down. So rather than live like hobos, they get Delany to invest as a producer, and decide to join the porn industry with Zack and Miri as the main stars. However... soon it becomes apparent that this media venture will not run as smoothly as it did on paper.
