The week of 9 years (November 4, 2011)
Anniversaries are for those without Alzheimer’s. First up…
Crazy, Stupid, Love
The key to having a marriage built on trust, respect and love is to tie the knot on your deathbed.
Unfortunately, the couple in this dramedy decided to get married right out of high school.
Subsequent to an affair with her colleague (Kevin Bacon), Emily (Julianne Moore) decides to end her marriage to her high school sweetheart Cal (Steve Carell).
Forced from his home, Cal returns to the dating scene where he meets a hip, young, playboy, Jacob (Ryan Gosling), who shows him the ropes.
But when Hannah (Emma Stone), a feisty fawn he failed to conquer, re-enters his life, Jacob begins contemplating settling down.
All the while Carl and Emily’s children learn their own lessons about love.
A sharp, funny, timely romantic-comedy, Crazy, Stupid, Love cunningly weaves an unexpected and unconventional love story.
Despite the film's optimistic message, however, crazy, stupid, people should still not be allowed to procreate. 0
Water for Elephants
If you fall in love with the circus boss’ wife, it usually means you are into bearded woman.
Thankfully, in this love story, the ringmaster’s mistress is clean-shaven.
Forced from his home following the death of his parents, Jacob (Robert Pattinson) hops a train in hopes of finding a new life, which he does, aboard a circus train.
Relying on the little veterinarian skills he has to remain germane, Jacob's hired by the hard-nosed owner, August (Christoph Waltz), to maintain his pachyderm star.
But when Jacob learns that August rules over his wife (Reese Witherspoon) the same way he lords over his animals, he soon plots an escape for her and himself.
Despite its obviousness love triangle, this adaptation of the popular novel has a thrilling backdrop and a ferocious performance from Christoph Waltz.
As for animal cruelty in circuses, it needs to stop...and be re-directed upon the clowns. 0
Cars 2
Great, now that cars can talk, we’re going to need to draft up another distracted driver bylaw.
Wait a minute! There are no humans in this animated movie to enforce such an edict.
Returning home after a long stint on the racing circuit, Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) gets reacquainted with his dim-witted tow-truck friend, Mater (Larry the Cable Guy).
But their reunion is short-lived, seeing as Lightning’s been invited to the World Grand Prix.
Fortunately, he can bring a guest. Unfortunately, it’s Mater, who inadvertently becomes embroiled with two spies (Michael Caine, Emily Mortimer) trying to thwart a power move by history’s worst selling cars.
When it comes to the animation, all of the Pixar earmarks are present. But when it comes to the Mater-centric story, and espionage sub-plot, Cars 2 gets lost.
Besides, who wants to watch a movie where the cars all have better jobs than you do? 0
***Slide-Show Freak***
Dumbo
While human beings runaway to join the circus, wild animals, on the other hand, are more inclined to run away from the circus.
Either way, the elephant in this cartoon had no choice as to where he would grow-up.
Delivered to a travelling circus via stork, Dumbo, a pint-sized pachyderm with over-sized ears, becomes the target of cruel circus goers.
Defending her son’s honour, Mrs. Jumbo strikes out at the taunting youths, which lands her in isolation, and Dumbo all alone.
Luckily, he meets a motivated mouse (Edward Brophy) that shows him the ropes of big-top living and helps him realize the true potential of his unfortunate, yet aerodynamic, attributes.
Though it is considered to be one of Disney’s saddest cartoons, Dumbo is also one of its most inspiring.
So, if you have a physical deformity like Dumbo, rest assured: There’ll always be a place for you in the circus.
He’s the Elephant Man in the Room. He’s the…

From his greasy hands to your boring Weekend.........It's time for the Vid Idiot.
The week of November 5, 2002
Whoa,Whoa!!!! Let me catch my breath. Jeez after last weeks Debut (Debiew. if your french) of that Wacky wall crawler Spider-Man, I'm worn out. And now it's, mid-to-almost over, of the end of this week and the New Arrivals are straggling...
1. For the Ladies: The Divine Ya-Ya-Ya Fucking Sisterhood shit, some club or gang ....... Didn't see it.
2. for the gents: It's a toss up in-between the full dvd mini series of the hit war drama "Band of Brothers" or "Ghetto Dawg".... Represent, Yo.
3. for all the "art crowd"- there's "the dangerous lives of alter boys", a hokey piece of coming of age story about two best friends who pull pranks and stuff on, mean old Jodie Foster the nun at the catholic school. The idea was there, but for some reason it made me want to eat fuck.
If you like quirky, "stand by me", "oh, no! My best friend got eating by a tiger, bull shit movies; then it's right up your alley. For me the coming of age movie genre ended with Ghost World. All that follow are just crap.
**************PICK OF THE WEEK********
Nothing buffers nicely between Spider-Man and Attack of the Clones then PUMPKIN a quirky, comedy about sorority sister Christina Ricci falling in love with the retarded boy she is mentoring; to win best sorority on campus.
If you like "heathers," with a dash of "legally blonde". It's a fun movie with some serious under tones and great moody music. I liked it so much I even paid for the late without whining.
The only bad thing I've heard bad about it came from Stephen McLean who said "there weren't enough "real" retarded people in it."
Hey if that's the only bad thing you can say about a movie, then it must a pretty good fucking movie.
'Til next time my greasy hand touches your soft skin in a sales transaction.......... I'm the Vid Idiot
