Watch These

What's up gang.  It's a recession, depression around these parts, and while I would love to "pop the cris" and make it rain at the local burlesque parlor, the wallets tight, and it's not getting any sluttier. 

So to help keep you financially secure, here are the movies I will check this month on the weekend instead of ordering Bear Fights.

April 3 - Adventureland

Director Greg Mattola is already being hailed as the next John Hughes, who had such 80s classics like Ferris Bueller's Day Off and The Breakfast Club.

With Superbad already under his belt, you can bet dollars to donuts my ass will be planted at the theater for his follow up.

Adventure land is a comedy set in the summer of 1987 and centered around a recent college grad who takes a nowhere job at his local amusement park, only to find it's the perfect course to get him prepared for the real world.  As a recent college grad who needs a summer job instead of blogging to the 13 people that actually read this blog, maybe this will give me some motivation.

Let's not forget about the cast.  We have two of SNL's best with Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader, my new goth-crush/Deadly Attraction worthy Kristen Stewart, and new comer Jesse Eisenberg.

April 10th - Observe and Report

Everything about this movie looks funny.  It looks like what Paul Bart: Mall Cop wanted to be if it wasn't for Happy Madison Productions  deciding to appeal to soccer moms of the planet (Grandma's Boy excluded).  Seth Rogen is kicking ass and taking names as Ronnie Barnhardt, head of mall security, who has a psychotic streaker on his hands. 

Driven to protect and serve the mall and its patrons, Ronnie seizes the opportunity to showcase his underappreciated law enforcement talents on a grand scale, hoping his solution of this crime will earn a coveted spot at the police academy and the heart of his elusive dream girl Brandi, the hot make-up counter clerk who won't give him the time of day.

Seth Rogen is on a hot-streak and I don't think this one will disappoint.

April might be the best month for sports (The Final Four, Opening Day, WrestleMania, first month of baseball, start of the NBA and NHL playoffs, The Masters, the NFL draft), but it is definitely the calm before the storm of the summer movie madness. A summer movie preview will be up shortly.
