3. The Hangover Part II
The Wolfpack is back!There's been a lot of talk about how the sequel is essentially the same movie as the first, and that's not that far from the truth. But the simple fact is if you liked the The Hangover
, if you want to see what types of screwed up nonsense these guys can get in to, then this film is for you. It's crazier, more depraved, and nearly as funny as the first, so go ahead and treat yourself to another round courtesy of director Todd Phillips, Bradley Cooper, and the rest of the gang.2. Midnight in Paris
Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris is a crackling romantic comedy, beautiful travelogue, and a smart historical piece all rolled into one. Owen Wilson stars as Gil, a neurotic writer in love with the city of Paris and in particular the roaring 1920s. One night while getting away from his wife(Rachel McAdams), Gil finds himself transported back to that time where he meets all of his idols: F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and more. The most fun Woody Allen movie in years.
1. Bridesmaids
Sorry, Wolfpack! The ladies of Bridesmaids are still the most hilarious game in town! If you haven't had a chance to catch up with the best comedy of the year, then what the heck are you sittin' around for?
DVD Pick of the Week: Gnomeo & Juliet
Shakespeare's most beloved tale of forbidden love has never been so colorful. Nor has it been quite this quirky and funny, but that's what happens when the tale is a literal turf war between red and blue garden gnomes. The point hatted gnomes are doing more than schilling for Travelocity. All heck breaks loose when blue hat Gnomeo(James McAvoy) and the red tipped Juliet(Emily Blunt) fall in love, but neither's clan will ever allow their relationship to blossom. Director Kelly Asbury does a clever job taking some of the story's more adult elements and spicing them up for the kiddies without ever losing Shakespeare's core theme.
