50 First Dates

I was hastily trying to pick 2 dvd’s from a redbox and ended up getting silver linings playbook because I thought it would be funny because it had the guy from the hangover in it. Then I went back to my friend’s place and watched it and was like…man…this is a serious movie about some fucked up shit. 2 crazy depressed people who hate the world ending up winning a dance contest together or something.

Gorgeous performances all around in that movie. It was very well done.

No doubt. Not my usual shit. I prefer mindless, low brow comedy that doesn’t ask much of the viewer. Think step brothers or talladega nights. But a great movie nonetheless.

I have to admit, I’m a fan of Will Ferrell’s particular brand of ridiculous comedy, mostly because he commits so hard that even his over-acting comes across as quite genuine in a way that other famous over-actors (think Jim Carrey) fail to capture. Its all very charming in a ridiculous way. Interestingly enough, he’s also quite good in more serious roles. Stranger Than Fiction and Everything Must Go come to mind, if you haven’t seen them I’d recommend them both.

Seen stranger than fiction.

What did you think?

Not bad.

I find it to be altogether charming and quite emotional. “Charming” is a very apt description of Will Ferrell all around, he’s delightful.

Real Genius, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Sixteen Candles

No movie is strong enough for that but series are getting there.
Primarily: The Shield

After you watch all 7 seasons I can’t imagine you’ll even remember your own depression.
