5/23/2004 - HOLY SNAPS!
Bigger than Jesus indeed, and a lot quicker, as well. 3 Tornado warnings in 3 days. How the hell does that happen? I was in Michigan all weekend, so if you tried to contact me (Ha.), I had no way to reach you. My friend only has Dial-up. Anyway. While I was up there, I saw not one, but two movies, "Mean Girls" and "You Got Served". I'm not making this up. REVIEW CREW TYME! Mean Girls I went to go see Mean Girls at the Ann Arbor cineplex, which had recently converted to entirely digital projectors. This did a whole lot for the quality of the film, but we'll get back to the cons later. Anyway, Mean Girls is a teen Comedy, but it's written by Tina Fey, one of the most attractive women in the buisness. She is more than double my age, but I wouldn't pass up the chance to...well, you know. It's actually really good, for being a teen comedy. The plot heads out like this: Cady (pronounced "Kattie", but everyone says "Caddie") has just moved to America from Africa, after being homeschooled over there for a while in a Wild-Thornberriesesque scenario. She gets over here, and she enters high school, completely ignorant to the fact that there are, indeed, social cliques and groups. She meets up with this unlikley yet oddly compatible group of a goth-y chick and a "too gay to function" guy. Anyway, they guide Cady around the school, and they tell her about the groupings of people, such as the jocks, hot asians, nerdy asians, ect. THis is one of my few gripes with the film, actually. Even though these groups really do exist, we "teens" try our damndest to not bring them to a conscious level. We never really say "Oh, the nerds have to sit over here, and the band members sit over here". We naturally fall into those roles, we don't plan them out. From there on...I kinda get fuzzy, because due to a highly destructive storm, and the new-ness of the digital projectors, the film kept cutting out. I do remember laughing at certain scenes though, particularly the ones with Tim Meadows ("The Ladies Man"). He was LIEK, OMG BADAZ$ Final Rating: 7.5 out of 10. Nothing that's really "OMGSAUSAGEPARTY", but a solid film, nonetheless. ----- You Got Served See this film. But don't buy it. Rent it. It's hilarious. Final Rating: 1 out of 10. A horrible film, but a great one in it's horrible-ness. ----- Have you guys seen this Prince of Persia 2 shit? It's hot, man. The battle system is being refered to as "Tony Hawk, sans skateboard, plus sword." Also, BOSSES. :O Okay, it's getting pretty stormy out. I should wrap this up. Goonite. //Greg::9:14 PM EST\ # | |
