Film: Get Him to The Greek (2010)

Blu-Ray

Review: This is a sort-of sequel to "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", this time centering on Aldous Snow, the rock star played by Russell Brand, from the first film. Jonah Hill plays a new character, a music executive who must escort the British singer from London to Los Angeles for a comeback concert at the Greek Theater. Wrangling the hard-partying musician turns out to be harder than herding cats as the normal journey is turned into an out-of-control road trip filled with sex, drugs and alcohol.

Quotes:
"What you did was very spiteful, but it was also very brave and very honest and I respect you for doing that. But the content of what you said has made me hate you. So there's a layer of respect, admittedly, for your truthfulness, but it's peppered with hate. Hateful respect."

"Would you like me to take the Chiswick Roundabout through Hounslow and Staines?"
"What is this, fucking Middle Earth? Just take us to the airport, okay."

"If he tells you to stick the drugs in your ass, you stick them in your ass."

"You've been mind-fucked before?"
"I don't think so."
"I'm mind-fucking you right now."
"You are?"
"Can't you feel my dick fucking your mind?"
"No, I can't really feel anything."
"See? That's it. That's the art of it. I'm mind-fucking the shit out of you."
"Well I hope you're wearing a condom cause I have a dirty mind."

"I labored under the myth of monogamy for several years with Jackie and it was pointless."
"So you only slept with Jackie?"
"No, I slept with other people but I always told her about it. Monogamy."

"We're gonna fuck these two girls."
"I just got out of a relationship."
"Was your ex a blonde or brunette?"
"Brunette."
"Blonde it is."

"Aaron! Where the fuck are you? I'm gonna kill you! Smiley face."

"Nothing you say makes any sense, I understand that now, you're just a fucking junkie and you're smart so you make your insanity sound good but its bullshit."

Film: Dinner for Schmucks (2010)

Blu-Ray


Review: This is a funny movie where Tim is up for a big promotion if he can bring an entertaining idiot to his boss' themed dinner party. Sickened by the idea at first, he changes his mind when he bumps into the perfect guest, a naive man-child named Barry who builds dioramas with stuffed mice. The dioramas displayed during the opening and closing credits are hilarious!

Quotes:
"Have you ever lived among a herd of goats, for months at a time, as one of them?"
"No."
"That surprises me."

"You might not like him. I don't like him. I hate him! But we need him. You know? It's like the CIA."
"The CIA?"
"The CIA does some pretty funky, nasty stuff in the shadows, but I, for one, am glad they're there."
"The CIA doesn't invite people to dinner to make fun of them."
"No. The CIA kills people. And I'm getting raked over the coals because of a little dinner."

"I need to be punished. I cheated in class. Don't you want to be my school teacher?"
"I'm really not qualified. I work for the IRS."
"Not tonight..."
"No, all the time. I work..."
"Ok, ok! You work for the IRS and I have been very, very bad. I haven't paid my taxes and I need to be spanked, NOW!"
"Well, that's really not the way it works, you probably just have to pay the difference, plus interest...

"Well, these people invited us here to make fun of us. This is a contest for the biggest idiot... which I nailed!"

Film: Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)

Blu-Ray


Review: A funny movie about an irresponsible father, played by Robin Williams, who loses custody of his kids after the divorce. Desperate to see his kids more often, he dresses up as an older woman to answer an ad placed my his ex-wife for a nanny/housekeeper. Robin's trademark humor along with the slapstick costume changes is very entertaining.

Quotes:
"Look at this! My first day as a woman and I'm getting hot flashes."

"We're his damn kids too."
"Heh, heh, kids say the darnedest things."
"Thank you. Any other choice phrases you'd like to teach our five year old, Daniel?"

"Could you make me a woman?"
"Honey, I'm so happy!"
"I knew you'd understand."

"It's not working. I need to go older."
"Older? You mean like a Shelley Winters older, or Shirley MacLaine older?"
"What's the difference?"
"Some Scotch tape and red hair dye."
"What about Joan Collins?"
"Oh, I don't think I have the strength. But I have some plaster."

"Isn't he fabulous?"
"If you like that handsome rugged type. But personally I prefer short, furry and funny."

"Oh, sir. I saw it! Some angry member of the kitchen staff, Did you not tip them? Oh, the terrorists! They ran that way. It was a run-by fruiting. I'll get them, sir. Don't worry."

"I like that Mediterranean look in women. Natural, healthy. Just the way God made you."
"Well, he broke the mold when he made me. He made me very special."
"He sure did."

"Mrs. Doubtfire."
"What?"
"You're going into the men's room."
"Huh? Oh, so it is. I do need new glasses dear. Sorry."

"Tell me, why would Mrs. Doubtfire be a good host?"
"I'm a hip old granny who can hip-hop, bebop, dance til ya drop and yo yo, make a wicked cup of cocoa."

Film: Sex Drive (2008)

Blu-Ray


Review: A pretty good road trip movie about a high school virgin who borrows his brother's hot rod to visit a babe he chats with on the internet. Along for the ride are his two best friends, Lance, his more experienced and confidant buddy and Felicia, his childhood friend with who he has a secret crush. James Marsden is the highlight of the movie as the tormenting older brother.

Quotes:
"Hey babe, you wanna party?"
"I'm at a party."
"You wanna make out with us?"

"Where do you guys get the confidence to, like, hit on every girl you see?"
"Cause we're the shit."

"Ian, you're 18 and you've never had a girlfriend. That's how people wind up getting gay, you know?"
"I don't think that's really how it happens."
"Tell me how it happens expert, ya cock expert, ya cockspert. Hey, what do you like better the shaft or the balls?
"That's gross."
"You like em both don't you. It's like, sometimes Tuesday you want the big, old, shiny-ass cock. Wednesdays and Thursdays you're onto the balls."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You can't choose can you? Thats a tough one. You love it. You're obsessed with it."
"No, you are, your talking about it."

"Oh, fuck. I know you didn't take my car again. 'Cause you're a big giant pussy. That's right. I'm gonna lift up this door, and my big, fucking glorious bitchy Judge is gonna be sitting right there gleaming at me."

"You can punch my friend here, but just once."
"Wait what? Come on man!"
"Dude, you slept with his girlfriend!"
"But..."
"AND he drove all this way."
"...All right."

"I miss sarcasm. It's mostly lost on my people. And gambling.... went to Vegas once.... And buttfucking."

Film: Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

Blu-Ray

Review: A quirky Wes Anderson movie about a boy scout who runs away with his girlfriend on a small island in New England. Their past is told in flashbacks as they are tracked down by his troop and her parents.

Quotes:
"Jiminy cricket, he flew the coop!"

"What happened to your hand?"
"I got hit in the mirror."
"Really? How did that happen?"
"I lost my temper at myself."

"Why do you always use binoculars?"
"It helps me see things closer. Even if they're not very far away. I pretend it's my magic power."
"That sounds like poetry. Poems don't always have to rhyme, you know. They're just supposed to be creative."

"Sometimes I stick leaves on my hair. It helps cool your head down."
"Hmm. That's a good idea. It might also help if you didn't wear a fur hat."

"These are my books. I like stories with magic powers in them. Either in kingdoms on Earth or on foreign planets. Usually I prefer a girl hero, but not always."

"You can touch my chest. I, uh... I think they're gonna grow more."

"I'm a civil law scrivener. I'm authorized to declare births, deaths, and marriages. You're kind of young. You got a license?"
"No."
"I can't offer you a legally binding union. It won't hold up in the state, the county, or frankly, any courtroom in the world, due to your age, lack of a license, and failure to get parental consent. But the ritual does carry a very important moral weight within yourselves. You can't enter into the contract lightly. Look into my eyes. Do you love each other?"
"Yes, we do."
