Old School
See. This. Movie. I've read bad reviews of Old School but the reviewers were people like Roger Ebert. Of course he wouldn't get it, he has two thumbs up his ass! (both clever and disgusting, eh?) College students get it. People who went to college within the last ten years get it. These are the people this movie was made for and so it achieves its goal with ease. Luke Wilson is naive enough to get into the messy business of starting a fraternity due to the influence of his best friends, sweet enough to make you want him to succeed, and hot enough to pull it all off. My only complaint is that we see far too much of Will Farrell's ass. Make it Colin and you've got something. As is, its a little disturbing- but funny as hell.
Grade: A+

Daredevil
Ok- to be fair, I didn't go into the movie expecting much. What I got was even less then I expected, though. Ben Affleck should fire his manager for telling him he could play a superhero. SO he's a fan, big deal. That's like me joining the mafia because I like Italian food. Um- it makes sense. However, Colin Farrell, bald and crazy, still makes my heart flutter as the villian, Bullseye. What can I say, the smartest move the movie makers made was to allow Colin to keep his Irish accent for the film. I shouldn't let my emotions towards an actor influence my reviews, but I do so shut up. I think the movie is watchable purely for the Colin aspect. Also, Kevin Smith (my personal hero) has a cameo. So, get rid of Ben, give Colin the lead, and Kevin a bigger role and the movie could have potential. On a side note, I saw Joe Pantoliano naked. Long story.
Grade: D+

The Recruit
Sigh... swoon... mmmmmm. Colin Farrell is the star and everything is right with the world. Teamed up with movie maverick Al Pacino, Colin has the confidence to seem perfectly matched with Michael Corleone. As a new recruit for the CIA, Colin goes to "the Farm" where he learns all the important lessons good, little CIA agents learn including betrayal, distrust, and how to get it on with your attractive co-agent. And let's mention the sex scene... oh, the sex scene... It's five seconds total and yet you can literally feel your body temperature rise. Yummy Colin. Um... right. Back on track. The movie is good and though I seemed to know the ending before I walked into the theater, the other people in the audience were surprised (I see too many movies and my punishment is the uncanny ability to know the endings that were meant to be a surprise). My only complaint is, therefore, that Colin should have been allowed to keep his Irish accent. Yes he's supposed to be in the American CIA. Shut up. Don't use your silly "logic" on me.
