Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa

Either one of if not THE funniest movie I have ever seen. I laughed so hard I cried...FOUR TIMES! I have always thought "Borat" was the funniest movie ever, but this is just beyond that. The premise is a grandfather (Johnny Knoxville) with amazing makeup drives cross country after his wife dies to deliver his grandson to his deadbeat son-in-law after his daughter goes to prison for crack addiction...got it? 10 stars outta 5.


the one about Adam Levine and Henry Cavill

So I am TOTALLY reaching, but here's my thoughts: I've always regarded these guys as two of Hollywood's biggest douchebags. Adam Levine ONLY dates Victoria's Secret models and Henry is just so stiff and NEVER smiles. Well I did research on both.

Bridegroom

 
 
I just watched "Bridegroom" on OWN. It's about the life and death of Thomas Bridegroom told by his surviving boyfriend Shane Bitney Crone. 

CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story

This movie wasn't made to win Emmys. For me this movie was 4 stars out of 5 and here's why...

the one about Milly's Quinceañera

For some reason this story popped into my head. I was in 11th grade and my bff Jamie was in 9th. She was dating a kid Alex in my grade at the time. I was also friends with Carmen "Milly" who was turning 15. Milly invited me and of course popular people in our class to her Quinceañera (Jamie's mom called it a "Kiss My Ankles" party cuz she couldn't say it).


the one about Kanye West

 
Let me first clear this up RIGHT QUICK: I love Kanye West. The older I get the less tolerate I get of celebrities. Jennifer Hopez: I like some of her movies and music, but don't like her persona. Tom Crazy Cruise: I like his movies but don't like his persona. Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus: I like their music, BUT CANNOT STAND their personas. Kanye West: I like his music AND him. Do I disagree with some of his actions YES. Case in point the drunken Taylor Swift interruption at the VMAs. Why would he do that?

the one about Bruce & Kris Jenner

Okay well I am a HUGE fan of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." I've been watching since the premiere episode in 2007. I'm not going to go over my previous rant about Kim and Ray J, but I am upset over a new thing.

It was announced today that Kris & Bruce are separating after 22 years of marriage.  I literally am beside myself after the news. Why? It's just a reality TV show. Well this show has been in my viewing habits for 6 years non-stop. I've seen the evolution of Lord Dissick, 3 babies born, two marriages, opening of all wounds brought on by the Jenners. This family has been as open and honest as any scripted drama. And NOW this? I'd react the same way if Olivia & Fitz broke up on "Scandal" for good. 

2013-2014 Fall TV season

Lots of new shows to watch and not sure what to watch? Me too. When I was a kid my mother would buy the Fall Preview TV Guide. Now it's much easier to go online. I currently record 40+ shows between my DVR and Huluplus. Here's what I watch (if a show isn't listed I don't watch it):

House of Versace

Let me tell you right off the bat this movie is 4 stars out of 5, and the only reason it's not 5 stars out of 5 is because of the documentary "Beyond the Headlines: House of Versace."

Don Jon

Joseph Gordon-Levitt makes his directorial debut in "Don Jon." Think a modern day "Saturday Night Fever" without the dancing.

The movie is about a guy living in New Jersey who comes from an average family, works as a bartender, has a great apartment and car, supportive friends, and gorgeous face/body. Only problem is he watches porn like people play video games or watch TV. In fact he hasn't seen a movie in a long time. His world is turned upside down when he meets the unattainable Scarlett Johannsson. Not only does she not fall for his player ways, but she makes him a better person. His world is further complicated by the awkward Julianne Moore. While Scarlett is his dream girl, Julianne is his worst nightmare. In the end these two women affect him more than he even thought he could be affected.

ScarJo was perfect for this role. JGL directed himself in a cult classic and Tony Danza playing his dad Jon Sr. is perfect. The cast, writing, and directing was amazing. 

This is such a good movie. There are times when actors TRY directing and fail miserably (I'm talking to you, Madonna). But sometimes they get it right (*waves at Ben Affleck*). This is another instance where it's right. JGL needs to keep directing, and keep making quality films.

4 stars out of 5.
