As you can see I’m doing a top 10 of ‘09 list for movies because I saw a lot of them and I feel passionate about my choices. The trick of it is… I didn’t see all of them so really this is just the best of 2009 based on what some dude in New Jersey saw. Then again, aren’t all Best of lists a variation of that?
Fall is nearly upon us, bearing down like a ravenous balding beast looking for one last meal before the winter of its discontent. I’ve had a relatively hectic summer between shooting and post production on F series 2 (FYI We’re calling it a series now instead of a season.) I think I’m finally ready to commit to a mid October launch of the new episodes, though Twilight may take longer since the graphic work hasn’t even begun yet and it’s the most intensive and longest. Other projects are sort of on hold for the moment (Ying has asked for some time to sort of his life putting the band in stasis,) but I’ve found other ways to bide my time. I’ve been cast as the lead in fellow F man, Shawn Stutler (whom you may know better as Roscoebang,) and Casey Kirkpatrick’s short horror film “The Courtship of Ronson Crumb.” I get to play a delusional serial killer looking for love one engorged victim’s heart at a time. Awww. Ain’t love grand? We’re shooting in October so I’ll have more deets and maybe some on set pics later.
The Hangover is like a greatest hits of male bonding comedy gags delivered with a keen sense of timing by some undeniably likable characters. It will not reformat your comedy hard drives but it will take your discs for a spin.
I thought the Mike Tyson bits and the effeminate Asian man fell incredibly flat, but anything and everything with Zach Galifanakis was amazeballs. Also the impromptu fourth wall shattering Tiger Song was a risk that worked. I wish more of the movie pushed the limits but I should be content with the laughs I got. Some theater-goers apparently got no laughs at all and were seen begging for them outside the theater following their screening of Year One.
