watching movies one cup at a time

Welcome to Ice Cubes In My Coffee :: The Caffeinated Movie Guide. I love movies and I have strong opinions about all of them. When they are great, they can change your life. And when they suck, you can at least have fun ripping them to shreds. I have seen a million movies and I have a bunch of movie facts and trivia stored up in my head - it's time to share. I'm going to be filling this movie guide with reviews on an ongoing basis, building up a large library of reviews so YOU, the movie-watching public, will know what movies are essential viewing and what movies you must avoid at all costs (hint: anything with the words "Starring Dane Cook"). I will also be posting some interesting articles and lists along the way as well. So grab a cup of joe and settle in for some movie talk!

Ya know, people made a big deal about this movie, but I really didn’t think it was that good. There were a couple “ha ha” moments, but overall it really wasn’t that funny. The funny parts were mostly when the guys were all sitting around talking sh*t. But I have a feeling they do that all the time, except this time someone filmed it. It’s funny but so what. And then later on in the movie they even ditch all that and it goes full-on rom-com (romantic comedy). It felt like 2 different movies, which I’m sure is part of the point to show how much Seth’s character has grown. But guess what? I don’t buy it. The guy spends his whole adult life smoking weed and making dirty jokes with his friends and then ditches it all in 9 months? Granted, a kid is a big deal. But I think in real life that guy would have been a lot LESS cool about it all. Maybe I’m wrong. But it just felt too hollywood to me. Read the rest of this entry »
