Three To Watch

I've taken the liberty of watching a couple of movies and grouping them in their appropriate category.

First up, I Love You, Man. This movie is not what one might expect out of a typical guy movie like Old School or BeerFest. The movie chronicles the road it takes to go from stranger to best man at a wedding all without a single homophobic remark about two guys being good friends. Jason Segal and Paul Rudd star in what I'll categorize as a Romantic Comedy.

Next up, The Hangover. Doug is about to get married and what a better place for his two closest friends and his oddball brother-in-law to host a bachelor party than Las Vegas. After a night of partying they wake up not remembering a thing and with the groom missing. The guys must piece together a puzzle of a night that includes a baby, a hospital, Mike Tyson, a tiger, a stripper, and of course a conflicted Chinese gang leader. A bunch of guys who's names I could type here and nobody would probably know any of them star in what I'll categorize as a Mystery.

And last up is, Up. Disney and Pixar team up for another hit with this animated film about an man's promise he intends to keep to his wife. The score and style of Up is unlike any other D/P film in the way that the first 15 minutes of the movie has very little dialogue and revolves more around a montage time sequence. This film can satisfy a kid with the computer animation and humorous storyline, while capture emotions in adults with the love story that lies underneath the whole plot. If anything this movie makes you appreciate the time you have with the one you love. Because this film covers so much I think I can categorize it as one phrase and most people would understand: Disney/Pixar.

Three Movies, three reviews, now go watch.
