Get Him to the Iron Man 2

...

Want two short reviews of recently-watched movies written in incomplete sentences?

Okay!


Iron Man 2:

Overrated and unfocused film canceled out by okay special effects.

Tony Stark: good … eventually annoying.
Scarlett Johanson: wooden and superfluous.
Samuel L: unnecessary.
Mickey Rourke: stene scealer.
Other bad guy: okay, but expected him to die at the hands of his robot army.
John Favreau: cool as limo driver, slightly less so as director.

Still, probably the best Summer Flick I didn’t see in the theaters this year.

Grade: B+


Get Him to the Greek:

Immensely uneven and often uncomfortable half-rock n roll, half-stoner, half buddy-buddy flick.

Jonah Hill: funny and drowning in fat-boy charisma.
Russell Brand: annoying with a hypnotically massive lower jaw.
Sean Diddy (or whatever he calls himself): strangely the best and funniest thing about the whole flick.

Best scene: the Geoffrey and furry wall business, or any of Puffie’s later scenes.

Grade: B+
