‘Nuff said.

Are we still there for the caring?

I am done.

How long can this go on?

The Hobbit (Kim Kardashian) continues on its quest.

Things go on forever. BUT, 3-D IMAX made my pants a place for the peeing.

Awesome!!

Go see it.

You will if I do or if I do not say the right things.

As much as thinking Peter Jackson drools over money, the film still makes the mind flop on itself.

Good work, moneygrubber!!!

In other ways, go see “Afternoon Delight.” Independent films make on feel the smarter.

This is the time of year when Hollywood makes the liking of Hollywood seem like the boning of one’s sister.

Kind of hot. Totally sleazy.

If Hollywood was a man, “The Hobbit” would have been 10 movies.

Hollywood – you are a pussy.

So…Two thumbs up.

Made up story is still good story. IMAX 3-D is still IMAX 3-D.

Hey, Hollywood whoredom works. I must deal with this.

See this three times.

P.S. Now for brain expanding Vonnegut (Dead Eye Dick – 1982 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadeye_Dick) – “We all see our lives as stories, it seems to me, and I am convinced that psychologists and sociologists and historians and so on would find it useful to acknowledge that. If a person survives an ordinary span of sixty years or more, there is every chance that his or her life as a shapely story has ended, and that all the remains to be experienced is the epilogue. Life is not over, but the story is.

Some people, of course, find inhabiting an epilogue so uncongenial that they commit suicide.

P.P.S. “Survivor” finale on Sunday! Whoop dee whoop!!

Bridesmaids

With Wit, Reviewed By Kimmo Mustonenen

Yes, I know I’m not the target audience for a movie called Bridesmaids.

But if a producer Judd Apatow guarantees with its name, then this promises to be something different to what the title suggests. And as expected, is also a film Bridesmaids of opposites.

This is thoroughly Chick Flick, but the only genre in which a woman with the words “It’s like hot lava” poops in a sink (yes!).

It is a film about female friendships, but in a way that men can understand very well because he stringing together not only Sex And The City bimbo stereotypes. It is a film one can laugh, the one affected and one marks his sincere compassion for all figures.

The pivotal point of the bride alarm is Kristen Wiig, who is their role vulnerable, but strong play. It is one of the few women in Hollywood who are really funny without descending into silliness.

Although it appears from a foot in the next, it never seems ridiculous, and as a spectator while you laugh over their misfortunes, but never over (at) it.

Instead, you feel with her and pressed her fingers crossed that she finds it to a successful conclusion. Must be comedies, then the audience does not care.

That’s bad.

For many years Kristen Wiig fans of this unequal, long, emotionally engaging and representing discreetly ambitious film is a welcome and overdue step away from their popular skits on Saturday Night Live and toward something that is sustainable and powerful. Apart from this it is a pretty funny movie.

If Bridesmaids is a women’s film, then call me quiet a woman. The film is witty and funny, touching and lewd. It crosses borders by making it cheerfully ignored.

In a moment of alarm for a bride is broad-gauge farce explores the sex (but not enough), from the standpoint of a woman from the next moment then it is a comedy of manners and class, which plays off against each other two bridesmaids.

If I were waiving thumbs, Bridesmaids would get more thumbs than my hand part protrudes.

And that is good.
