The Hangover Part 2 (The Hangover Part II) - Official Movie Trailer 2

We've seen the first one and laughed our butt's off. When we heard that they were making a second one we were a little surprised. I mean how much more can they add to a second one?! Well after watching this new trailer for it you can clearly see how much more you can put into a movie like this. This is another movie that we plan on seeing when it comes out and not wait to see it on DVD. The whole gang is back in this sequel. Release Date: May 26, 2011

DVD Review: St. Trinian's School for "Bad" Girls

St. Trinian's

DVD RELEASE DATE: January 26, 2010

SYNOPSIS:

St. Trinian's, the infamous school for 'young ladies', is in trouble. Despite being an old flame of its Headmistress (in a top-of-his-class comic performance by RUPERT EVERETTMy Best Friends Wedding), the new Education Minister is shaking things up and the school is facing financial ruin. But the students of St. Trinian's aren't going to give up without a fight. After all, they excel at chaos and attitude, not chemistry and algebra...and that's exactly what it's going to take to beat the authorities, before they close down their beloved school for good. Starring COLIN FIRTH (Mama Mia!, Bridget Jones's Diary), LENA HEADEY ("Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," Vacancy), RUSSELL BRAND (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and CATERINA MURINO (Casino Royale). Also starring MISHCA BARTON ("The O.C.," "The Beautiful Life"), TALULAH RILEY (The Boat That Rocked) and GEMMA ARTERTON (Quantum of Solace, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time), with a cameo appearance by U.K. sensation GIRLS ALOUD.


Our Thoughts:

First of all this movie is one of those movies that one of us randomly saw at a Blockbuster and decided to rent it. Then decided to buy it and got her friends to watch it, which they ended up loving it also. This movie also makes you watch what is going on in the background. Rupert Everett was great as the headmistress. Yes, mistress. The girls of the movie worked well together and made chaos look like fun. Great laughs, great chaos, and great Mission Impossible-esque adventure. The one downer: St. Trinians 2 is available on DVD, as Region 2 only. The first one ended where there was nothing left hanging. But we are curious to find out what mayhem they unleash while looking for treasure in the second one.

Theatre Review: Paul

Paul

Release Date: March 18, 2011

Plot

Two average sci-fi geeks get caught up in the ultimate interplanetary adventure after picking up an extraterrestrial during a road trip to Area 51 and becoming the targets of a nationwide manhunt. Graeme (Simon Pegg) and Clive (Nick Frost) are two British sci-fi geeks on holiday in America. After a trip to Comic-Con to meet their favorite author, Adam Shadowchild (Jeffrey Tambor), Graeme and Clive load up their RV and hit the road for a tour of some of the most famous UFO hot spots in the American Southwest. They know we're not alone in the universe, but they won't be satisfied until they get a firsthand glimpse of the famed Area 51. However, somewhere deep in the Nevada desert, the two UFO enthusiasts narrowly avoid crashing into a speeding car when they happen across a most unlikely hitchhiker. Paul (voice of Seth Rogen) is a pint-sized alien who has spent the last 60 years in Area 51. He's been cooped up in the care of the U.S. Government for far too long, and he's starting to get a little homesick. Though Graeme and Clive are more than willing to help their wisecracking new friend get back to his mother ship, Special Agent Zoil (Jason Bateman) of the FBI is closing in fast. And he's not the only one; in their race to get their new friend home, Graeme and Clive have also become unwitting kidnappers, and the enraged father of their not-so-unwilling captive, Ruth (Kristen Wiig), is determined to rescue his daughter at all costs. Sigourney Weaver, Bill Hader, Blythe Danner, and David Koechner co-star.


Our Thoughts:

You put Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in a movie together and it is a must see. How can you not like a Simon Pegg and Nick Frost movie? We were a little apprehensive about watching this movie because of Seth Rogen playing the voice of Paul, but we gave this movie a chance because we just love Simon and Nick together in movies. As with some actors/actresses in movies it's better to hear them, than see them in movies which was the case with Seth Rogen in this movie. Simon, Seth, and Nick worked well together and provided us with many laughs. We would recommend this movie to those who can handle excessive cursing and who like a good laugh.
