Movie Review: The Love Guru


Mike Myers and Justin Timberlake, two people that I am generally not a fan of at all. However, in this movie the both of them are just funny as all hell. With Myers playing an Indian guru and Timberlake a "bad-ass"(and I use the term loosely) canadian hockey player, you should know right off the bad. This movie I think also has a special place for me because my girlfriend has been making me watch lots of Bollywood movies(Indian movies) and there are lots of jokes about things that frequently happen in those. Hearing Justin Timberlake say "Don't look at me with that tone of voice or I will punch you in the shirt!" is still more then enough to cause me to crack up.
Overall: [9/10]

Movie Review: Hancock


Hancock, starring Will Smith and Charlize Theron, is a great movie. Seeing Will Smith play a "less then wholesome" character alone is worth seeing the movie for. Fans of comic books or super hero movies will get a kick out of the idea of the "asshole" super hero and of the portrayal of super heroes later, others will just get kicks out of the action and great jokes that occur throughout the movie. I didn't see it in theaters(or the theatrical version) so I'm not sure with the differences are, but I'm pretty sure you can't go wrong either way. The only real complaint I had was the ending starts to go in a direction that is highly annoying, but luckily they correct that. The only thing I could say would improve this movie, would have been a cameo by Stan "The Man" Lee, just like in all the Marvel Comics movies.
