Movie Review
The Hangover
2009
Starring: Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha
Directed by: Todd Phillips
Runtime: 100 minutes

The Hangover could have been a problem for Warner Bros. The studio gave the film a full cinema release despite it having many of the hallmarks of a straight-to-video release: too many C-list actors with several D-list celebrity cameos. The comedy is off the wall and the general plot is kind of the stupid. Todd Phillips pulls a rabbit out of his hat because despite all these telltale signs, The Hangover is a very good movie. It’s funny and witty. It can be a bit stale at times and there may be a couple of scenes that pretty much force you to roll your eyes but the film is quite enjoyable nonetheless.

This is the story of a Las Vegas bachelor party gone horribly wrong. Doug (Justin Bartha) is taken to Vegas by a couple of friends on the eve of his wedding. They’re having a great time living it up in Sin City. The boys decide to have a drink on the roof of the hotel and then the next thing we see is Stu (Ed Helms) passed out on the floor of their destroyed hotel room. Neither Stu, Phil (Bradley Cooper), or Alan (Zach Galifianakis) have any idea what had happened the previous night nor can they find Doug who is supposed to get married the same day. They try to desperately retrace their steps as they keep finding out how more and more bizarre their evening was. Escapades such as Stu getting married at a drive-in chapel to a stripper and the boys breaking into Mike Tyson’s house are only the tip of the iceberg. As the clock gets closer to the wedding, the guys become more frantic in their search for Doug and their way out of Vegas.

One of the film’s weaknesses is the character development. While it shouldn’t be a major issue in a zany comedy, it does hamper the experience a bit since this one deals with the maturing of the central characters. One problem is the script, which lets the actors improvise a little more than they should be allowed. The other problem is the limited range that the actors have. The whole romance angle with Helms’s and Graham’s characters is bad both because it’s written horribly and they are just poor actors. Meanwhile, despite Cooper’s character being poorly written, he shows much more depth in this movie than he has previously and actually does a remarkable job with what he’s given. Any revelations that are supposed to come as a shock concerning a character’s motive or profile are not all that surprising and telegraphed from miles away. The writers and filmmaker did not do a good job at creating a piece where the characters can naturally evolve.

Luckily for The Hangover, the film is not about character development and delivering an epic story. It is about having lots of laughs and a good time. The comedy in the movie can be quite sharp which is a testament both the writing team as well as the talents of Galifianakis and Helms. Both actors gave it all to deliver the most from the material they were given as well as adding to it wherever they could. Cooper helps too by playing everything cool rather than try and stand toe-to-toe with the other two and try to be a comedian. Even Mike Tyson shows more effort in this movie than he has shown in the ring since he was world champion. The cast really wanted to give a good performance and nobody underdelievered.

The film also does a good job at delivering joke after joke without all that many feeling lame or tired. Each character has their own unique style and they mesh together very well. There are times that some of the antics and scenes walk the fine line of being very funny and something even Comedy Central would reject (which is saying something). However, overall very few jokes cross into the latter territory. There are even times where you may feel like you know the punchline to the joke as it is being set up but you’re still laughing anyways. The whole scene with the tiger in the hotel room after the wild night is hilarious even though half the time you know what is going to happen next. The film is clever like that in the sense that it plays out like a friend telling an out-of-this-world story rather than a fictional piece of storywriting.

Todd Phillips’s The Hangover is a lot of fun but it’s far from perfect. It can be lame at times and Graham probably was a bad choice, and there were some annoying camera techniques but otherwise the movie is quite hilarious. It’s an easy film to recommend as long as you don’t get offended easily. Even if you don’t offend easily, it probably would be a wise idea to avoid the final credits.

☆☆☆

This book would be the appropriate reading as a punishment for Guantanamo Bay prisoners. I cannot believe I have wasted time actually reading this book. I tried to enjoy it; the premise seemed very interesting. Unfortunately, in retrospect, there really is no discernable premise.

I like apocalyptic fiction…things having to do with the end of the world, 2012, nuclear insanity, etc. If written well, it makes for very powerful fiction. Take, for example, the novel “The Last Canadian.” I will cover that in another entry, though. For now, we shall sift through this monstrosity.

There are two main characters…Scott Bryant and Melanie Regan. The author does a horrible job in characterization. Scott is a decent, outstanding business man; Melanie is a member of a secret organization, and has deep, dark secrets herself. In fact, these secrets are running throughout the book…the problem is, we have no idea what the secret is until near the end of the book. Note to Ms. Graham-it might have behooved you to mention this secret earlier on, so we could understand the character more. Alas, I digress.

So, there is a terrible earthquake in Los Angeles. Never mind that it is a low magnitude EQ, suspend your disbelief. There is chaos running all over LA. Demons and vampires are running amok, coming from the cracks of the earthquake. The earthquake was merely an excuse for Bael, the demon from hell, to unleash his fury. As the characters cope with the odd goings-on, they are having dreams of a strange place in Rome, involving a telepathic nun they refer to as “the Oracle.” Yes, a telepathic nun. Anyway, there are some minor characters from this uber-secretive group called the Alliance. I do not feel the need to mention them.

So, while violence is descending upon the inhabitants of Los Angeles, these mystical dreams are directing Scott and Melanie to go to Rome to find out more apocalyptic information from the nun. Mix in some odd references to Norse mythology, Mayan 2012 theory, and a host of other bizarre things that are supposed to tie together. The mythology aspect does not fit in with all of the Catholicism involved. Supposedly, the astrological signs of Melanie and Scott show that they are earth signs and must battle the earth. Later books will concern other signs, I hope that this is not the case.

They are in Rome, the nun directs them to the catacombs to battle the evil Bael, yada yada yada. Bael has been living below the church for many years, awaiting his chance to battle the earth signs.  During this adventure, Melanie and Scott fall in love (of course), have a lot of sex, and another character who is also a member of the Alliance comes in to assist. Of course, he is another earth sign, and he has a past history with Melanie. I couldn’t see that coming down Main Street with its headlights on. Of course, Scott is paranoid that Melanie and Ranier are having some sort of affair. The nun dies, some guy named Lucien from the Alliance takes over as Oracle, and the battle must begin.

Confused? So am I.

We learn the big, bad secret of Melanie. She is a vampire. Not just any vampire, mind you, but a good, wholesome and pure vampire.

Screw it. I will give this book one star out of five. It isn’t even worth that. Disappointing.

Heidi-Lore

What a massively gratuitous use of a celebrity in this ad.  A terrible, cheap looking advert.  Celebrity advertising, political or otherwise, is only usually effective when brand values overlap to create a mutually beneficial relationship that has at least an element of consumer credibility.  I can just imagine the guy selling the script using the fact that she was in Scrubs as a justification for her casting…

Nós já falamos desse filme aqui, mas a @fbubu lembrou de uma outra cena. E hoje eu precisava dela para ter coragem de sair de casa…

…com jogadinha de cabelo e tudo.

I didn’t know much about this movie before going into it.  I saw the preview once, but apparently it wasn’t very significant for me because I couldn’t remember anything pertaining to the movie.  Plenty of people told me it was good – some told me not to listen to the hype.  We got to the theatre right when the previews were on, so we ended up having to sit 7 or so rows from the very front. Surprisingly though the seats weren’t so bad, as my neck didn’t end up being broken from staring up.

For those of you who don’t know: This movie is centered around a guy named Doug who is about to get married.  In true male form – him and his buddies drive to Vegas for his bachelor party.  After what appears to be an insanely drunken night out, the three friends, (Phil, Stu and Alan) find themselves passed out in their trashed hotel room, with Doug nowhere to be found.  Problem is, they have no recollection of what transpired the previous night.  As they try to piece together what little clues they had – they are taken on a whirlwind adventure trying to retrace their steps in hopes of finding their missing friend.

The movie was hilarious from beginning to end.  I found myself continuously laughing even after a funny part had ended.  I cannot think of one dull scene throughout the whole movie.  Although some of the things that happened have probably never happened in real life, it was so entertaining.  I’m sure everyone knows what it feels like to have faint memories of events that happened during a night of drinking.  Whereas these guys absolutely remember nothing, making it all the more hilarious when they’d find out more information of exactly what they’d done.  The way the movie ended was always very clever.  It really provided perfectly, the closure that many movies lack.

Thinking about it now, I’m still laughing!  I suggest if you haven’t seen it…GO SEE IT.  If you’ve seen it already…WATCH IT AGAIN!  And if you didn’t think it was funny…you need to go get checked.  Seriously.

In the late 1880’s, a lone man held a city in his grasp with fear, torture and murder. The city was London and the man was only known as Jack.

Johnny Depp stars as Insp. Fred Abberline, a reclusive and methodical detective who harbors a tormented past. Abberline ends up in the wrong place at the right time, deep in the heart of London’s White Chapel district. Abberline becomes caught up in the “Jack the Ripper” murders and the plight of London’s women of the night, which include Mary Kelly (Heather Graham). It seems that the “Ripper” is focusing on Mary’s cropping of friends. The mystery deepens and the murders become more intense as Abberline must give up every ounce he has left in his mortal soul to bring in the “Ripper”.

The film’s title is derived from the return address penned on the “Ripper” letters to the police of London. The Hughes Brothers, who directed this film, bring us knee-deep into the hell so that they can tell their story. From the flaming skies of London’s evening skies to the animal lusts of the people in the alleys of White Chapel, hell is definitely evident. The Brothers’ direction is so intense at times that I felt I could smell the decaying corpses of the slain women. But for these directors that wasn’t enough as they showed the killings with oodles and oodles of blood. You never fully see the “Ripper’s” blade pierce his victim’s flesh but it’s what you don’t see and know that makes your stomach upset. This grotesque direction makes the film powerful but will definitely make you think twice about having another handful of popcorn.

Within this macabre fest is a brilliant performance by Johnny Depp who continues to impress me with every film he does. He is one of the best actors of his generation. He has the encompassing power to electrify an audience with a look or expression.

The character of Abberline has a lot of similarities to other characters Depp has played but here he is able to bring a new angle on an old concept. It is flawless.

The saddest thing about the film is the casting of Heather Graham. Graham is way out of her element and proves she has a tough time adapting to challenging roles. Behind the eyes of Graham there is no depth and this is really needed if she is supposed to be the film’s leading lady. I really had a hard time seeing her being able to fall in love Depp’s Abberline.

The character of Mary needed an actress who could display sensuality, torment, and an ounce of innocence in her scenes with Abberline. Graham couldn’t do any of them. She was excellent in “Boogie Nights” but I haven’t really seen her in anything since that shows that she can display the detailed emotions needed to flesh out Mary further. It is also hard to take her performance when her accent flickers instead of sticking.

I found the blood and gore very rich and very gratuitous. I know its great to have as much realism when doing a historical film but there is such thing as overkill. I really liked the mystery of the case and the performance of Depp but that is about all. The film displays a very bold, clever and interesting take on the “Ripper” murders even if it’s not the theory I fully believe.

This film will definitely alienate some moviegoers.

3.5 out of 5

So Says the Soothsayer.

Não deveria ter demorado tanto a fazer a resenha de “Se Beber, Não Case” — afinal, eu o assisti logo na estreia, quase 2 meses atrás) — mas foi bom revê-lo para tentar descobrir se a (ótima) impressão inicial se manteve. Felizmente, isso aconteceu. Longe de ser uma comédia para entrar nos anais da história do cinema, se também não chega a ser um dos grandes filmes do ano, chega perto.

Os diretores americanos muitas vezes têm maneiras óbvias e escatológicas demais de tentar fazer rir, mas este não é o caso de “The Hangover”, o título original desta surpreendente produção que arrecadou igualmente surpreendentes 460 milhões de dólares no mundo inteiro até a criação desta resenha, em 22.10.2009 (entre os 10 filmes de maior arrecadação no mundo inteiro em 2009), bem superior aos cerca de 35 milhões que custou (no Brasil, ainda em cartaz, também teve boa performance, tornando-se um dos 20 filmes mais assistidos em 2009 até agora). O sucesso foi tanto que o diretor Todd Phillips está planejando uma sequencia para 2011.

Dois dos galãs americanos do momento, Justin Bartha e Bradley Cooper, acabam servindo de ‘escada’ para os excelentes (e inacreditáveis) Zach Galifianakis e Ed Helms, que formam o time de quatro amigos rumo a Las Vegas para uma despedida de solteiro, num filme com ótimas participações da bela Heather Graham e até Mike Tyson — sim, ele mesmo, interpretando ele mesmo. Destaque também para o hilário Ken Jeong.

Com uma história simples, bem contada, bem escrita e com um elenco inspirado e bem dirigido, “Se Beber, Não Case” acaba sendo uma divertida comédia que, apesar de juntar esse povo todo e mais um tigre, um bebê perdido, casamento, máfia chinesa, cassino e até uma galinha, não vira um daqueles pastelões agressivamente tolos que todo ano aparecem nas telonas. Vale o ingresso.

If I posted every cool video I got from Moveon.org, our blog would be nothing but videos. But this one, a commercial that Heather Graham taped recently in favor of keeping the controversial public health insurance option on the table, was just too awesome not to share with you guys.

And hello, I don’t care what side of the public option fence you stand on, if it looks as good as the shockingly-limber Miss Graham does in this clip, then pass that freaking bill already! Jeez…

The greatest night of your lives just happened but you can’t remember a thing. This is how badly that sucks.

The main plot follows four friends who travel to Las Vegas for a bachelor party,only to wake up the next morning not remembering a thing and missing the groom, whose wedding is scheduled to occur the next day. The three friends that are left over try to track down the groom through asking questions and finding more and more clues to hopefully finding the groom in time for the wedding.

The great thing in the movie is we do not see what happens that night we are either told or we just wonder. That is what gives this film the full mystery and kept me guessing throughout. The absurdity of the situation is backed by raunchy behavior that could’ve spiraled out of control, but thankfully doesn’t.

The trailers totally fooled me into thinking that this was another frat boy movie that was made for 17 year old or possibly even younger. For this movie however, that is not the case. The comedy is more sophisticated and more adulta and surprisingly not too sexed up.The screenplay is very clever and hilarious and it has the right actors to deliver the lines.

This movie was directed by Todd Phillips who is also known for Old School and Road Trip, and a lot of the similaritys are shown. However this films comedy seems more mature than both, and is more likely to be more of a classic because of its ways not too become too raunchy.

The performances from this cast is great as well. The cast may not be so big named but they are very well-picked for each role and all do great. The one I was most surprised by was Ed Helms, of The Office fame, does really step out of his shadow from The Office and really does shine, and proves he can act in a big time movie. The other funny thing about the cast is that the cameos from people such as Heather Graham and Mike Tyson were all shown just to add on to the story and show their charm, and I highly respected that.

Their were however some parts that I had a problem with. I didn’t enjoy how they would just show an ass or a penis shot just for the sake of humor. But more of that nervous humor that doesn’t shock me anymore with just seeing a penis. Yeah its raunchy but not funny nor shocking any longer.

This film is hilarious from start to end. Although there were some forced laughs I thought the performances are great and each star delivers on a great and clever script. It is better and also in a way smarter than Old School.

9/10=Full Pricee!!!

A new ad released Wednesday by MoveOn.org features Graham representing the public option.

(CNN) – Supporters of a public health care option are getting a helping hand from Austin Powers actress Heather Graham.

A new ad released Wednesday by MoveOn.org features Graham representing the public option in a foot race towards the finish line against big insurance companies CIGNA, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, United Health and Humana.

“Insurance companies have gotten lazy, bloated from the profits of raising our health care costs sky high while the health care crisis keeps getting worse,” the announcer says in a 30-second version of the spot, which will air on national and cable television. A 60-second version of the ad is set to air on the Web.

The ad targeting insurers comes amid a new push by liberal groups against the industry. The fresh pressure follows the release last week of a report, funded by the industry’s lobbying group and heavily criticized by Democrats, that suggested the president’s health care plan would do little to stem surging insurance premiums.

Moveon.org is not releasing the size of the ad buy.

Hangover.
DVD mit Bradley Cooper

Doug feiert zwei Tage vor seiner Hochzeit in Vegas mit seinen Freunden Stu und Phil und dem künftigen Schwager Alan Abschied vom Leben als Single.

Doch am Morgen danach ist Doug verschwunden und mit ihm jede Erinnerung an die Nacht der Nächte. Unter Kopf- und Zeitdruck muss das verbliebene Trio klären, was mit Doug und ihnen passierte.

Warum ein Baby im Schrank und ein Tiger im Bad lag. Wieso eine Stripperin ehetauglich und ein Gangster gewalttätig wurde. Ein unvergessliches Abenteuer, an dessen Ende nicht nur für Doug ein neues Leben beginnt.

Videobuster Zitat: Zwei Tage vor seiner Hochzeit fährt Doug (Justin Bartha) mit seinen Freunden Phil und Stu (Bradley Cooper und Ed Helms) und seinem zukünftigen Schwager Alan (Zach Galifianakis) nach Las Vegas, um richtig einen draufzumachen: Diese Junggesellenparty wollen sie ihr Leben lang nicht vergessen.

Doch als die drei Trauzeugen am nächsten Morgen mit dröhnenden Schädeln aufwachen, erinnern sie sich an nichts mehr. Ihre Luxushotelsuite ist ein Trümmerfeld, der Bräutigam spurlos verschwunden. Weil die drei einen totalen Filmriss haben und die Zeit knapp wird, versuchen sie die fatalen Ereignisse der vergangenen Nacht zu rekonstruieren: Irgendetwas ist fürchterlich schief gelaufen.

Jedenfalls muss Doug schleunigst zurück nach L.A., wenn der Hochzeitstermin nicht platzen soll. Doch mit jedem Puzzleteil, das sie finden, wird deutlicher, wie tief sie wirklich im Schlamassel stecken. Zitatende.
