My Movie Weekend

Friday night I saw Superbad. In the style of Porky’s and American Pie it deals with adolescent males coming to terms with their manhood - except in this movie it all takes place in one day. The movie deals with three guys on a quest to get booze for a party in order to impress girls which then leads to a night of raunchy adventures they will never forget. Michael Cera who plays Evan is simply adorable in this movie. You could eat him up with a spoon with that baby face of his. However, Christopher Mintz-Plasse who plays “McLovin” was the best character in my opinion. His nerdy facial expressions and voice make the movie. As I had mentioned in my previous post it takes some very inappropriate behavior and comedy to make me laugh, and with Superbad’s scenes featuring dick-drawing obsessions and girls dancing while menstruating - this movie delivered it like Domino’s!

On Sunday I saw Stardust. This movie had it all: fantasy, comedy, romance, and suspense. Never since The Princess Bride or Willow have I seen such a great fantasy-based movie. Michelle Pfeiffer is fabulous as the head witch. I didn’t used to like Claire Danes, but I changed my mind after watching her remarkable portrayal as the Star. Robert DeNiro has the funniest role in the movie which involves a surprising gay twist which I won’t go into further detail about. Just go watch the movie as soon as you can! Best movie I have seen so far this year!
