Maybe not THE BEST THING EVER but I was thoroughly entertained and had a lot of laughs. A cameo towards the end was particularly fantastic. I'd recommend it to anyone - definitely a new favourite of mine from this group of funny people.Sol O.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-87744749555337343812013-06-12T00:43:26.563-05:002013-06-12T00:43:26.563-05:00Adam as for the movie Your Highness, I think the t...Adam as for the movie Your Highness, I think the thing I liked about it a lot beyond the admittedly juvenile jokes (The Fuckening!) was beyond those jokes the world they were in seemed legit, production design, the cool robotic bird thats straight out of 80's fantasy movies. <br /><br />I am an unabashed lover of good parody movies (Naked Gun Trilogy and Airplane, not Disaster movie Epic movie etc.) and I really like it when a parody/homage movie comes out that feels like it could be the real thing if they took out the jokes. It just had a fun energy for me and is definitely one of my guilty pleasures.Tom Bartmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-26114137386604522622013-06-11T21:15:16.869-05:002013-06-11T21:15:16.869-05:00I've seen it about a month ago. I do get that ...I've seen it about a month ago. I do get that you talk about Apatow and his rising stars the way I feel about John Hughes and his stars. You're completely investing in them. <br /><br />I disagree on your assessment of Jonah Hill. He will probably keep acting and keep with better supporting roles. He probably has a long career ahead. Jason Seigel though after the stuff i've seen him in in, just can't carry a film. He's doomed to supporting and never again co-starring. He's just not capable of it. Seth Rogen could be the next Tom Hanks I see it I believe it its not that out of the realm of belief to be honest. and Michael Cera suffers from Jessie Eisenberg. The to are so interchangeable that neither will be that big because people will always cast 1 or the other and use them as if they can be replaced with each other.

I don't see him branching out TOO much from what we've already been seeing from him. That said, I just have really enjoyed him for what he is. I think he's good at playing a certain kind of character and really enjoyed him in the movies in which he has starred, as well as Arrested Development (although I agree with the assessment that the new episodes are not all on par with those from the series' past).John Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810774557887719483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-84878425782377330432013-06-10T15:50:48.297-05:002013-06-10T15:50:48.297-05:00Cant wait for this movie myself Adam, by all accou...Cant wait for this movie myself Adam, by all accounts of the early reviews I have read this one is pretty sweet. Also your list is pretty accurate to mine (although Grandma's Boy I would trade that out with Your Highness which I am apparently the only fan of that movie.) <br /><br />I am glad that they have put some distance between this movie and The World's End coming out later this summer. While by the trailers it looks like both films are pretty different I think they may have cancelled each other out if they were released too close together. I'll be up at Second City and IO in a couple months to start a run at that can't wait to find your picture and inspiring quote:)Tom Bartmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-24627842687128056612013-06-10T13:10:46.792-05:002013-06-10T13:10:46.792-05:00Because of the way Adam phrased his questions I di...Because of the way Adam phrased his questions I didn't say so, but even though Cera isn't my favourite dude, <i>Scott Pilgrim vs. the World</i> is probably my favourite of all of that roster's work.Sol O.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-42733622630409964972013-06-10T13:08:12.766-05:002013-06-10T13:08:12.766-05:00I'm pretty pumped for this too - comes out on ...I'm pretty pumped for this too - comes out on my birthday and I've taken the day off so we're going to catch a matinee showing. I'm avoiding reading reviews and just going in with my own gut feeling that this has the potential to be either THE BEST or THE WORST or more realistically, somewhere in the middle. But hoping for THE BEST!<br /><br />And totally agree that movies borrowing more from TV is a potentially good thing - it seems not that long ago (I guess when it looked like "Reality" TV was going to take over) that everyone was complaining about how shitty TV was becoming. Now there are too many genuinely good/great shows for me to keep up with them all.<br /><br />I'd have to agree with you that James Franco and Seth Rogan have the brightest futures. Fellow Canuck Seth Rogan (actually Jay and Michael are too - can we agree that, per capita, Canada is the funniest country in the world?) is my favourite of the group and I'd go with <i>Knocked Up</i> as my favourite of his (I also probably liked <i>Pineapple Express</i> more than most).<br /><br />Until I read that Rolling Stone article F This Movie tweeted last week, I would have considered Jonah Hill one of my favourites, and <i>21 Jump Street</i> was probably my favourite mainstream comedy last year, but man, what a dick. I don't think he'll ever be what he seems to think he is.<br /><br />Looking forward to our thoughts on <i>This is the End</i>!Sol O.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-13775537079507243512013-06-10T12:50:27.270-05:002013-06-10T12:50:27.270-05:00I'm quite excited about this movie, as well.

That, and I really love Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World (which I would place at the very top if I were to make a similar list. Rogen and Hill would be a close second and third.John Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810774557887719483noreply@blogger.com
