Decline in the Modern Age

  Whooo! So it's been a while since I blogged it up, so I thought, "hey, why not blog at 7:30 in the morning?" Currently I've been up for 18 hours and counting, so I thought I might abuse myself for the sake of humor. Just kidding, I'd be up anyway, almost everyone here knows that. So I've got about 10 movies here, all ripe for the reviewing, and we'll see how many I get through, probably one or two more. I'm just here to have fun, like the rest of my blog, so don't take these too seriously. And yes, I know it's formatted a bit like Cracked, but I like it, and that's where I'm going with it.

I'm not going to bother summarizing these movies for the sake of spoilers. Besides, that's what all those movie sites out there are for.

  Basically what I did last night was looking up the filmography for Robin Wiliams, Liev Schreiber, Stanley Tucci, and Simon Pegg, purely on a whim. I will be updating as I finish the movies, instead of one massive update, it just looks nice!

So here are some movies foooor you!


#1) Good Morning, Vietnam
The Movie:

This one was pretty good. Robin Williams being his quick-talking, funny-voiced self. I was pretty amused, even if I could only understand half of what he was referencing. I liked that the mayor from Pleasantville played the sergeant major (your guess is as good as mine). I just assume that after the war is over, he hightails it to Pleasantville to try and set up the police state he's always wanted. I'm not going to lie, I was pretty surprised his black friend wasn't killed in the roadside bombing three quarters the way through the movie, but I suppose it wasn't supposed to be that type of movie. I understand the underlying point to Military Police, but it almost seems silly. It's like bringing a rifle to a rifle fight. Congrats. On that note, check this out, it was terribly amusing.


Favorite Line:
"You are in more dire need of a blowjob than any white man in history."

EDIT: There will not be a Pt. 2, because it ended terribly (the movie and the writing), so we're just taking this as a review of Good Morning, Vietnam!
