‘The Inquisitor’ Commentary: Wow…so I have been blogging much less these days, which can be seen as good and bad I guess. Good because that means Im busy with work and makin that almighty $$$. Bad because it means Im not getting to talk about a lot of stuff thats going on in The Inquisitor’s brain…which is a ton of stuff these days. So, I’ve got to find a wayt to get back to blogging more, which I am definitely going to do…starting today.
:)

THE QUESTION: How many silly, brain cell reducing movies can one person watch in a day…?

‘The Inquisitor’ Commentary: At least 4…before the brain cells really start disintegrating. LOL. So, yesterday I watched, in order…

• Half Baked
• Hamlet 2
• How to Lose Friends and Alienate People
• Spies Like Us
• Cannonball Run
• The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai

Now…what you should know is I think all those movies are absolutely classic and I love them. Its ok, if one day every so often, you let your brain get turned into complete mush…especially if you can be laughing hysterically at the same time. Oh, and seeing Megan Fox, it’s like dessert. LOL. :)

BTW, if you havent seen Hamlet 2…wow. Very very funny. Steve Coogan is a riot and the movie is an absolute trip.

‘The Inquisitor’ Commentary: No offense but I didn’t know that Betty White was still alive…and good thing she is because she is still a very funny lady…especially in the movie “The Proposal,” which I saw yesterday. This movie is a pretty standard fare romantic comedy that stars Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock. Bullock plays a heartless boss of a NYC book firm and Reynolds is her kiss-butt assistant. Everyone despises Bullocks character, including Reynolds’ even though he has to be the kiss-butt guy to get where he wants to go. When Bullock’s character finds out that she is about to be deported for not having a valid US visa, she and Reynolds concoct a scheme to get married. The romantic comedy part of the story ensues after that has they have to go visit his parents/family in a remote small town in Alaska. Take a big city, tough ass business woman and put her with a sensitive small town roots guy who left home with aspirations of grandeur…and you get…this movie The Proposal. This movie also has Craig T. Nelson (another person who I hadnt seen in anything in years), Mary Steenburgen (most recently the mom from “Step Brothers), Malin Akerman (hottie from “Watchmen”) and of course Betty White, who plays a very funny role as Reynolds’ grandmother.

While not the funniest romantic comedy I’ve seen, The Proposal has its moments, including a couple very memorable ones, like watching Sandra do some booty droppin dance moves (yep…you heard that correctly…lol). So, go check out a matinee of it…I give “The Proposal” ** 1/2 stars out of five.

‘The Inquisitor’ Commentary: I know, that from now on, I should only ever walk into movies with completely empty levels of expectation about them. I should even try knowing very little about them as well. In this way, I will always be surprised…good or bad. Why am I mentioning this first…? Because I just saw the movie “Moon,” with Sam Rockwell, and I had very little expectation and knew very little about the movie other than it was a sci-fi/thril-rama. This served me well I think because I really enjoyed the movie.

Its about Sam (Sam Rockwell) working for a fusion power company who collects power from the moon, where Sam is stationed. While stationed there, Sam has contact with no humans, only a single AI machine, voiced by Kevin Spacey. After an accident, Sam finds out some very strange and startling details about his life on the moon and his existence on Earth with his family. I dont want to say too much more other than it’s interesting to watch it unfold. The whole movie basically takes place on the moon and is really centered around just a few characters. There was a movie that came out a couple of years ago called Bug with Ashley Judd that was made in a similar fashion (one primary location focus and very few characters) so if you have seen it, you’ll know the feeling.

Moon kept me intriguing all the way thru with the story, the diglogue, and the performance of Rockwell. It’s very much an independent movie so you might not have it at many mainstream theaters unless you are in a big city. But its worth taking a chance on for a matinee. I give Moon *** out of five stars.
