Topic: A few films to see, and a few to skip. Volume 1

I watch so many damned films I need to start recommending and hating on a few, so I will. Fuck TV. All movies won't be new, just ones I've seen recently.
See it.
Hall Pass.

I didn't expect much and it wasn't GREAT, but it was good enough, a few parts were just hilarious. Good comedies are few and far between.
Jarhead.

6 years old, but somehow I missed this one until recently. Nothing spectacular, but a very solid war movie with some surprisingly good acting. Jake Gyllenhaal is a fantastic actor and I wish he played more parts in movies.

Skip it.
Cedar Rapids.

I watched this because it has Ed Helms and John C. Reilly in it (the dentist from The Hangover, and the curly headed guy from Stepbrothers and many other good roles). I mean who doesn't like those guys? What an abysmal waste of talent. This was the film that didn't try and failed hard. Really nothing good to say about it...
Paul.

This stars the guys from "Sean of the Dead" and I really expected more from them. A pretty boring movie, not really a comedy, or a drama, or even very entertaining. Just kind of bleh. Kids might like it, that's really all it has going for it. I wanted to like this film, but is just wouldn't let me.

No. Is it good? It doesn't look very good *shakes head*, but if you say it is I'll give it a chance.

I feel like I'm the only one who hated Toy Story 3

NO U. Making a mediocre film longer doesn't really sound like its gonna improve the situation much. Mediocre, watery crap is mediocre and watery. I like them guys, "Paul" just didn't really try.

How could you hate it? I mean the best one was the first one, but still, it wasn't bad unless you're some kind of psychotic "Toy Story" purist. It was just a continuation of the series, much like any other series they get gradually worse.

(read this in a serious voice) It is one of the best comedies ever. You must watch it.

no, the extra 5 minutes of footage really helps to pull the film together!
I SWEAR!

1 was great, 2 was spectacular, 3 just felt like a cheap attempt to cash in on nostalgia and was just bad overall
