REVIEW: CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE.

There are comedies, there are romantic comedies, there romantic comedies that are actually good, there are dramadies, and then there's Crazy, Stupid, Love which manages to find a piece of every single one of them.

Review: DESPICABLE ME

Universal's Despicable Me is exactly what I expected out of a non-PIXAR animated summer release, though perhaps a bit funnier than it should be.

Despicable Me's hero is Gru, a villain. He doesn't want world domination or to kill thousands of innocent people however. All he wants really, is some respect. Gru is easy to empathize with, and Steve Carell really brings him to life, perhaps more than anyone else could. I usually don't care for big celebrities in voice acting roles but Carell does a very good job with Gru, giving him a humorous eastern European accent that works.

Review: DATE NIGHT

FINALLY!

I have mentioned before on this blog that I have been waiting for Shawn Levy to make a film for someone his own age. I've always known he was a capable director, but he had misses like Cheaper by the Dozen and The Pink Panther. It was quite relieving to hear the F-Word in a Shawn Levy movie. The Night at the Museum franchise has been solid, but this movie is what I've been really waiting for.

I loved Date Night.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS MOVIE ABOUT?

Despicable Me

Well... if this trailer told you anything. I missed it.

Get Smart

Also Coming in 2008 is a spinoff of the Get Smart film titled "Get Smarter: Get Bruce and Lloyd". Seems a little early to make a spinoff, does it not?
