Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay



My friend took me to see a screening of Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay last night. I don't know about y'all, but I really love the first one so I was pretty excited about this.

Let me tell you, the movie did not disappoint. It was just as good as the first one, and actually even bolder and grosser and wittier. John Cho and Kal Penn are perfect together in this buddy comedy as they play off of one another -- John Cho has that knack for funny expressions that speak a million and Kal Penn has that unadulterated mouth that spouts the most unexpected ridiculous awesomeness. Neil Patrick Harris comes back for a fantastic cameo... And Rob Corddry plays the bad gov guy. But I guess that's all I will say for now. Go see this movie when it comes out in April!

Watch the trailer here.

7-Elevens turn into Simpsons Quik-E-Marts


last week mike and i went to visit the Quik-E-Mart located near port authority in New York. yep, the 7-Eleven convenience store was transformed into Simspons-mania. it was fun! this is all part of the crazy, omnipresent simpsons movie promotion. they sold buzz cola, but i couldn't find any. my friend jason though bought a six-pack of buzz. i was looking for duff beer but they didn't have any. all of the pink-frosted donuts were gone. they had squishees instead of slurpees. we bought a box of Krusty-Os, still uneated above. i loved it all.

movie review round-up



transformers may be the #1 movie this week, but it TANKED in my book. the animation was great. the story was cheesy. and did it really have to be 2 and a half hours? HELL NO!

ratatouille was another cute pixar film, except that rats are NOT CUTE in my book. i felt more for the stern french girl in the kitchen than the main rat character... no fault of patton oswalt.

oh, and i finally went to see knocked up. it had its moments, but overall, i thought it was weaker than judd apatow's other flicks -- 40 year old virgin (which i loved) and talledega nights (which i didn't love as much). however, i definitely want to check out superbad!
