Andy Samberg plays the titular character, a wannabe stuntman who is trying to raise $50,000 to save his dad so he can kick his ass and win his respect.
Like his digital shorts on SNL, funny at times, but a lot of stuff was just repetitive and/or random. A lot of filler to make up for flimsy story. Still, kind of funny.
6.5/10
Superbad dir. Greg Mottola (2007)
Two high school boys try to get alcohol while a third goes on a wild night with two inept cops.
Really funny. All the main characters are great. Reccomend to anyone who went to high school.
9/10
Youth in Revolt (book) C.D. Payne
14 year old Nick Twisp tries to lose his virginity to Sheeni Saunders, put up with his divorced parents, and elude the FBI.
Funny, and entertaining. A little too much after awhile. Probably would've liked it better if I was younger and if the main character wasn't posing as a woman for the last third of the book.
7/10
Raising Arizona dir. Coen Bros. (1987)
Ex-con H.I. (Nic Cage) and his ex-cop wife, Ed (Holly Hunter) want a baby but can't have one so they kidnap 1/5th of the newborn "Arizona Quints".
I haven't seen this all the way through in a long time. It is still hilarious and one of the best Coen Brothers movies.
9/10
The Venture Bros. Season 1
Dr. Venture, a pill-popping scientist living in his father's shadow, goes on adventures with his two moronic sons and their ultra-violent bodyguard.
I like this show because unlike some shows on Adult Swim it's actually funny and there is something resembling a plot, instead of just being offensive or super-weird (even though it is offensive and kind of super-weird).
8/10
loudQUIETloud: a film about the Pixies dir. Steven Cantor (2006)
Documentary following Pixies on reunion tour in 2004.
If you don't like the Pixies, you won't like this film. I do like the Pixies, and I still was kind of bored. It's ok.
6.5/10
