Pineapple Express

REVIEW: Not as good as their previous films. Don't get me wrong, it made me laugh plenty. I really enjoyed James Franco's role. But it just carried on. And Seth Rogen is the same character over and over. He isn't even acting, just living out his real life on camera. Entertaining, but a bit repetitive. Am I the only one noticing this?

The story also has similar "bonds of friendship" found in Superbad. Challenging the idea that it's not socially accectable for men to show affection toward one another, even if they are just friends. You know "man law", "guy code", call it what you want. However, they couple it with stronger homosexual undertones throughout the film. Making for a funny, sarcastic message.

I know I am being pretty negative here, and the movie is good, but not great. I just hold these guys to a higher standard for their previous accomplishments.

RATING(of 10): 7

If you are in no hurry, wait to rent it.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

REVIEW: The Mummy dies and hopefully so does this franchise. A far cry from the first film. Brendan Fraser is still cheesy, but this film takes it to new heights. The replacement of Rachel Weisz with Maria Bello was a terrible move. If you don't have the full original cast of characters then do away with that particular character somehow. I mean come on, its a quick fix, little bit of creative story writing. CGI quality wasn't good either. Overall just not a good movie.

RATING(of 10): 4.5

If you bother, rent it.
