The Social Network

The Social Network, a movie about how facebook is bad for you and how Mark Zuckerberg is a jerk. Especially to his friend, Spiderman. it is also about irony, because Mark made this social network only to have no friends. Weird, huh?

So when the movie first starts out, you see Mark with his girlfriend, soon to be ex girlfriend. he is talking about how he is smarter then her and how the only reason why they got into the bar that they were in was because she slept with the gourd outside. Already you dislike him, and it hasn’t even been 3 seconds yet. Perhaps this scene was a little over done, mostly because you never got a chance to like Mark, and the question you ask yourself is, why on earth did this nice, sweet, woman EVER date this guy????

No one knows. But they don’t remain dating for long.

But anyway, then Mark shows his EVEN jerkier side by blogging about his ex girlfriend’s bra size. Now if there are any guys out there, the one why to make you look like a total @$$hole his to say something about a woman’s breast, weather it be her bra size or whatever. Take it from me, please, never, NEVER ever EVER say stuff like that EVER EVER EVER, because you will be hated by everyone (I actually think there is one, just one, exception to this rule, think Pam and Jim from the Office when Jan came in with her new boob job in season 3 or 4, back when the Office was cool, that's maybe okay. maybe.). So I cannot stand this guy now, because he broke the number 1 rule of me liking a person. But enough about breasts, on to the whole point of the movie.

Then you introduce the guys who are the hot rowers who also like computers. They go to Mark to get him to sign on to there Pre-facebook facebook idea thing. Mark says yes, and then starts working on his own thing, The Facebook.

The movie is constantly switching back and forth from the law suit to the time that it actually happened, and I got to admit, I liked that aspect of it.

So the two brothers get mad, and they sue him.

And then Mark starts acting like a total jerk to Spiderman, and I’m like, dude, back off. Then Spiderman sues him, and so you are seeing two lawsuits at once happening. Pretty exciting!

I liked the movie, although it wasn’t quite what I was expecting. It was a bit more dramatized and artistic then I was thinking, but I was still was a good movie. I know why it was nominated for best picture, but who could beat the Kings Speech? And Colin Firth? Who can beat him? I’ll answer that for you, no one. No one at all. Oh! I think I know who I’ll write about next!

My grade: 91

Rating: PG-13, but they do drop the f bomb, twice, but one time you can’t hear that well. There is also some pot smoking and sex, but you don’t see anything.

the Breakfast Club!

okay, confession time:

I had never seen The Breakfast Club until this year.

But now that I have, many of the references that are made in TV shows like Psych and Community make SOOO much more sense.

You see, when it comes to John Hughes movies, there is a pop culture club that no one knows they are a part of, but if you have never seen any of his movies, you are very much aware that you are NOT in his club. So even if you dislike the movies, you are a part of a club, which makes you feel special.

Okay, so now that I have got that out of the way, on to the review!

First things first: Molly Ringwald could be a young Molly Weasly. I just blew your mind, didn’t I?

Okay, okay, I’ll try to stay focused.

The Breakfast Club is always named as being funny and touching and whatever. I say that yes, it was pretty touching at some parts. But it wasn’t really all that funny.

But I didn’t think Stripes was that funny either, and my mom and dad thought that it was super de duper funny, so that may just be a generation difference when it comes to some of these older movies.

So whatever.

I thought that The Breakfast Club was a billion times better then 16 Candles, which I hated, but appreciated because of the whole club thing.

But that is an entirely different review.

The Breakfast Club breaks all social and political stereotypes.

Well actually, that’s not true. You will notice that none of the main characters are gay, which is a stereotype that is usually added in movies today. Also, none of the characters are black. ummmm, odd.

Anyway, The Breakfast Club breaks AL(most) stereotypes…. That doesn’t even make any sense.

ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT I will try to stay focused. I’m having some trouble today.

Anyway, the story starts out with the song “don’t you forget about me” which is THE 80s song. You know, like THE song of the 80s. In so many 80s movies, this is the song that they play in the credits, because this song sums up 80s music in a nutshell.

Then you learn that these kids have to go to detention for 8 FREKING HOURS ON A SATURDAY. And I died a little on the inside. That is the worse way possible to spend your Saturday. Or so I thought.  

Along the way of these odd friendships,  there is dancing and pot smoking. So it was actually a pretty wild party. The movie was very interesting because it was all about going against stereotypes, but then they encouraged the stereotypes when Molly Ringwald dressed up that one creepy girl and made her only slightly less creepy.

(Fun fact: the creepy girl (Ally Sheedy) plays “Mr. Yang” in Psych. HA! That made me laugh when I saw that it was her.)

Then Ally Sheedy gets the jock (Emilio Estevez) at the end of the movie, I’m pretty sure it is because he likes her personality, but we will NEVER know, now will we?

The reason that this movie is rated R is because high school itself is rated R. so I applaud that aspect of this movie. High school is NOT (Repeat IS NOT) like High School Musical, or like Glee, or like that new Prom movie (Okay confession time, I haven’t seen that movie, but I don’t need to, high school is just not like that). The jock will never fall in love with the dorky girl.

CHRIS EVANS WILL NEVER COME TO MY SCHOOL AND SAY THAT HE IS MADLY IN LOVE WITH ME AND SAY THAT MY TOTAL LOVE OF STAR TREK IS CUTE

er, what? Don’t look at me like that! This is my public service announcement to the world and to myself! I- *SOB* CHRIS! *Molly brakes down crying*

Okay, back to the review.  

So this movie has some really good parts, but it also has some sorta bizarre (bizarre is a really bizarre word) parts. Like when Ringwald puts on her lipstick from her bra…..that was a weird part. But the weirdest part of the whole movie was WHY on EARTH would Clare (Molly Ringwald) fall for John Bender (Judd Nelson) he is a total jerk to her, so and he is not even that funny or anything. And when the whole bra-lipstick part happened, he totally slapped her in the face (Not literally).  Why would anyone like the stupid bad boy routine?

What was that?

You say that Chris Evans is a bad boy?

How dare you! He is the love of my life is what he is.

CHIRS EVANS I LOVE YOU!

er, *awkward pause* *clears throat*

Nice weather we’ve been having, huh?

Okay, so I’ve sorta fell for the whole bad boy routine when it comes to Evans (Although he plays Captain America and he was a really noble person in that movie) but that is completely beside the point. The point is why would someone fall for a person who is a jerk to them? I don’t know, maybe Clare likes the fact that this guy will someday end up being an abusive husband with the wife beater shirt and the beer drinking. I mean, how can anyone NOT love that? Please ladies, try to control yourselves around Mr. Bender.

Another thing that weirded me out? The fact that Clair and Bender kissed in front of Clair’s dad.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t think my dad would be too thrilled if I started making out with a guy who is obviously a pot-smoker-wife-beater-beer-drinker. But he obviously doesn’t know that all women are insanely attracted to those characteristics. (I’m being sarcastic for all those who don’t know)

So over all this is a pretty good movie, I wouldn’t call it one of my favorite movies, but if you don’t see it then you are not apart of our club. So you need to get your butt over to the computer (But if you are reading this then you are probably at the computer) and open your Netflix account and get the Breakfast Club, because it is worth seeing.

What? What was that? I was the only person in the entire world who had not seen the Breakfast Club?....I think this reviews over.

My Grade: 83

Everyone else’s Grade: how the heck should I know, you are the ones who know SOOO much about this movie *Molly Crosses her arms and walks away in a sulky manner* (I may be a resentful at your earlier comment)

Rated: R for pot use and repeated use of the F bomb.

Crazy Stupid Love Review

Crazy Stupid Love…. huh, this was an interesting movie.

Not because it was good. But because it wasn’t that good, yet I still liked it.

Weird.

Why did I think it wasn’t that good of a movie? Well, I guess it’s a matter of what you like and what you don’t like, but I thought that some scenes were just plain creepy, and that sorta bothered me.

But that doesn’t mean it won’t bother you! My sister loved the movie. I didn’t.

so, the scenes that creeped  me out:

Every scene with the babysitter

Almost every scene with the son

Let me explain: you first see the son, um, you know lets not get into what you first see the son doing (or you know, NOT see, this is only PG-13 after all). but whatever, even though I am grossed out, I don’t let that bog me down. Then you learn the 17 year old babysitter is in love with Cal, Steve Carell’s character, who is a 40-something man. and I’m all like, “Okkkkkkkkkkkkaaaaaaaaayyyy” but I’m not too bothered, after all it is only the beginning of the movie.

Then it starts getting to the good part. the minute that Ryan Gosling steps onto the screen I started liking the movie. You know, I didn’t really like him in The Notebook, (but wait! before you crazy females start attacking me let me explain myself. I’m all for guys that have beards, I like beard [I feel like Ke$ha now, uhg] he just doesn’t look good in full grown facial hair. He looks good in a shorter, trimmer beard, like in this movie, just not Santa type whiskers. okay, you can start attacking me now, just as long as there are no flame throwers involved) but in this movie, Gosling really stands out. He made ME, (Who is waiting for marriage before I have sex, I might add) want to go home with him, he totally had moves that you could see why girls fell for his one night standness (That’s not a word, but whatevers)

and it is sort of funny, and you are kind of laughing. but its not enough to make me burst out in giggles, like some movies make me do.

Then the creepy babysitter takes some naked pictures to give to Cal, and I’m like, “Oooooooookkkkkkkkkaaaaaayyyyyyy,”

Then it starts to get SO FUNNY THAT I AM LAUGHING RIGHT NOW AS I TYPE THIS (I needed to put it all in caps to show how funny it was)

I won’t tell you why it was so funny, mostly because I’m evil that way, but also I want you to enjoy the movie and the only truly funny part of the movie.

And it is approaching the end of the movie and I really started to like this it and I am smiling and I am glad at the turn of events and yatta yatta yatta, when…

The ending was ruined by the creepy babysitter.

She gives the 13 year old boy her naked pictures that she had intended to give to Cal.

And at this point I am totally grossed out. That left a bad taste in my mouth, but it other then that, it was a pretty okay movie. So I didn’t really enjoy this movie, but I’m sure some of you insane females will love this movie. All I ask is that you don’t attack me with flame throwers. But nun chucks are okay (I’ve been learning how to fight off nun chucks)

My grade: 81

Everyone else’s grade: 89-10001 (Those crazy insane females)

Rated: PG-13
