The Bling Ring (2013)
Not a lot of bling for your buck
Only one word can describe this movie: boring. I imagine there are plenty of indie-loving, artsy types that loved it but I found it very dull. There were a lot of nonsensical scenes that had no point and didn't add to the story at all. One in particular saw the male lead dancing and smoking weed in front of a night visioned camera by himself for a good 2 minutes. Don't ask me what the purpose of that was; I just don't know. The movie was sloppily cut and jarring in it's transitions at times. Not to mention repetitive. How many times can you watch this group of kids break in to Paris Hilton's house and try on hats? The only saving grace was Emma Watson. She played her character's self-centered, shallow, vapid nature with subtle believability. Other than that, I'd say avoid this movie at all costs. The level of boredom it conjures is mind-numbing at best.
Movie 43 (2013)
I don't know what people are complaining about....
I realize that, for the most part, people don't like to post anything positive on the internet. It's mostly just a bitch fest. I've heard nothing but negative comments about this movie but, I gotta say, I thought it was hilarious. My wife and I had a great time at this movie. The Naomi Watts skit was uncomfortably terrific. Hugh Jackman's skit was funny as hell. Actually, Kate Winslet playing her role so well really sold this skit. It was odd and a little strange. But as far as being funny, which was the whole point of the movie, it was. The I-Babe commercials were a cute interjection. Although I do have to say I think I've seen the shark eating the woman on her period gag before. Is the movie genius by any means? No. But it's fun, light hearted and good for a laugh.
