Casa de mi Padre (2012) Pantelion Films 1 hr. 24 mins. Starring: Will Ferrell, Diego Luna, Gael Garcia Bernal, Genesis Rodriguez, Pedro Armendariz Jr, Efrin Ramirez, Manuel Urrego, Nick Offerman Directed by: Matt Piedmont MPAA Rating: R Genre: Comedy Critic's Rating: ** stars (out of 4 stars) Nobody knows how to grind out lifeless comedies in conveyor belt fashion such as Will Ferrell. Nevertheless, the ex-SNL star continues his consistency with the latest ethnic dud-of-a-laugher Casa de mi Padre. Sadly, Ferrell's "hombre loco" act wears thin on the nerves and the overall movie is about as hollow as an empty piñata.
Tom Hanks' Career is a Urinary Morality Play Most movie stars use their careers to build up enough credibility to avoid urinating onscreen. Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller each had a couple piss gags early on, and then they got successful. It's just not
Hot Cheetos are a skyrocketing snack that is enjoyed by consumers of all ages. Cheetos has their own Tumblr page in which they advertise the hot chips in a way to persuade their audience. The blog post is about how new and inventive their glow in the dark Cheeto bags are for this years Halloween. The purpose of the glow in the dark bags are to make kids completely amazed and shocked at the simple glowing effect. The bag portrays spooky trees and a glowing Chester the Cheetah.
His diction is picturesque. He “[gazes] at the nine kinds of pie.” Soto uses the word gazes to elaborate his want and need of the pie. The pie is “like a discus in [his] hand.” The pie is heavy like a discus. The guilt of stealing slowly starts to sink into his conscious and weigh him down. He “[races] on skinny legs” back home.
The movie had humor in it which was distributed though-out the movie by many of the characters. For example, Wallace Shawn played an odd man named Vizzini and his character would keep saying, “Inconceivable” for just about everything. Even though everyone added his or her own little bit of humor, these two gentlemen were the ones who both with a shared sense of humor, which increased the level of comedy in this movie. Both Westley and Inigo had a knack for talking or joking around when fighting or dueling others. In most cases when someone would fight they wouldn’t talk, but these two couldn’t help it to talk while fighting.
The film writers, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, supposedly based this film loosely on their personal experiences during their own awkward teenage years. Though I’m not sure how true this actually is, the film is excellently written. There is sensitivity in superbad that other teen movies such as American Pie don’t achieve, this gives the film heart. This is also the main reason that Superbad works so well, it gets away with being immature and crude by using well-written and well-acted parts to create a sense of vulnerability and loveable geeky awkwardness in the three main characters, who constantly attempt to appear cool and confident, particularly around their high school crushes, desperately fabricating stories, with hilarious
Ray continues with his self-centered behavior once they run across something that he actually is interested in, the film crew. Ray is immediately fascinated and is quick to point out that watching the film is “the best bit of Bruges so far” (14). It is evident that Ray is looking for distractions from what they are really doing in Bruges. Ray isn’t ashamed to make known his disgust with Bruges and the fact that there is little in Bruges that is of interest to him. He is even more upset when he finds out that Harry sent him to Bruges as his “one last joyful memory” before dying (58).
Adventureland- The ace in the pack Greg Mottola’s Adventureland (2009) belongs to a cycle of teen indie Rom-Coms that include Juno (Jason Reitman 2007), Youth in Revolt (Miguel Arteta 2009) and Mottola’s own Superbad (2007). These ‘Teen-Indies’ all contain biting wit, heavy doses of crude humour and the obligatory teen film criticism of adults. The problem with a cycle of films is that when the inevitable diminished forlorn imitators disappoint the audience the shine is rubbed off the originals. The producers of ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ (Jonathan Dayton/ Valerie Faris 2006) even had the cheek to cast Alan Arkin as another crazy loveable granddad two years later in Sunshine Clearing (2008)[1]. Adventureland will escape a possible future tarnishing as it differentiates itself from the other ‘Teen-Indies’ by virtue of its setting.
However, with the use of this word, it implies humor saying that all the master does is talk a big word, but never actually does as he says. It is nice to see Franklin change it up once in a while, adding some humor although it may not be his forte. Likewise, Lame Deer too involves unexpected humor when he says, “You can’t do much with a cat, which is like an Indian, unchangeable” (121). After bashing the whites a countless number of times, Lame Deer finally softens his statements with an attempt at humor. Instead of making fun at the whites this time, he pokes fun at his own race, saying that they are stubborn to
Bud Light: Real Men of Genius “Today we salute you Mr. Unathletic sports talk radio guy.” (www.budlight.com) That is just one of the many Real Men of Genius commercials produced by Anheuser-Busch. Many people think they are dumb and pointless, while others get a hilarious laugh at the stereotypes and “paying mock tribute to the unsung heroes” (www.usatoday.com) of the particular ad, whatever it may be. Over the course of this essay, the stereotypes aimed at the male gender and the points of the ads will be discussed as well in hopes of shedding some light on a great ad that a lot of people don’t understand. The stereotypes in the Bud Light ads are aimed towards the male gender and the “unsung heroes” of America. The “unsung heroes” are the inventors or facilitators of the great things that all men have come to love in America.
