The Useless Critic 2.0

Forget what you know about movies, and forget what you know about movie reviews. This one from Mike Judge has nothing in the book of conventions. I had the chance to watch "Extract" in French, but I don't speak any French, so recently, I finally saw it in English. When it comes to the filmmaking of Mike Judge, of course I was a fan of "Office Space," "King of the Hill," "Beavis and Butthead," and even "Idiocracy." So I greatly awaited what this film had to offer. The premise is Jason Bateman is trying to fuck Mila Kunis :P So far off to a good start. However, Jason Bateman is sadly married to a coupon designer named Kristen Wiig. (Forget character names). A Wife is a Horrible Cockblock  The plot thickens like brownie batter as Jason Bateman takes advice from hairy Ben Affleck and plans to have Kristen Wiig sleep with Ethan from 90210, otherwise known as the sweatshirt wearing bonehead in the photo above, Dustin Milliga...

I have had a few bosses in my time that I could not stand. Granted, I don't think I ever wanted to kill She-Thing. Trip her yes, but my boss was never one of the following: a.) a sex-crazed deviant b.) a coke-addicted tool c.) a pure evil psychopath do you think if I had a boss along these lines I would have had a similar reaction to the three bromantic protagonists of Horrible Bosses ? Possibly.  It's not as funny as Bridesmaids , which is the movie which all future 2011 comedies will be judged by from here on out. But it's a lot better than Bad Teacher  and ends up leaving the audience with a fascinating, somewhat complex plot.  Yet the big key for this movie to succeed is the interaction and dialogue, back-and-forth between the three protagonists, a group of friends (who all loathe their superiors)- Jason Sudekis, Jason Bateman (HOLLA USELESS CRITIC FAVORITE) and Charlie Day, who I have just been introduced to and think is wonderful. Divine, really. Espe...

So so so-la-la, I recently wrote one of these for Rob Lowe, and now I have decided to try this for Jason Bateman. QATFYG: Simply, which Jason Bateman role is the best? In your eyes and in your truth?

today I am tackling two of the more-hyped movies left this summer: The Switch what about this? I don't hate J. Aniston so much these days- she's really getting more and more likeable to me. and Jason Bateman! I love him! I think it has something to do with his head and the shape of it. that's an odd thing to say but it's true. plus this is the team that brought you Little Miss Sunshine so come on it will be amazing. the plot- the lonely older woman who wants a kid- has been seen so often in contemporary cinema (i.e. Baby Mama and the Next Best Thing , remember that?)- but this is a nice refreshing twist on it. thoughts? AND THEN, OH MY GOD Eat Pray Love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1bSFT60sXI thoughts: I hate society.

Every time I see another preview for this film, I get more excited to see it in the theaters. where it opens today! it has an all-star cast (well, what I consider to be, anyway) with a pretty novel concept: in a world, where no one has ever lied ... (cue "Star Wars" theme music) here's a review of it from Indiana: http://www.indianagazette.com/articles/2009/10/02/features/entertainment-media-t/10024904.txt I mean, Tina Fey! Ricky Gervais! Rob Lowe! ... comedic genius? well, do you want to see it at all? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_V9b8upG9E you know, for never having seen it, this reminds me a lot of "I
