Crimes and Misdemeanors
Ends justify the means in this movie. Meaning, I like the ending; it puts the slant on this movie that makes it interesting. Gotta be in the mood for Woody Allen. His verbosity and high brow humor can be much at times, and it doesn't let up here. None of the characters are particularly likable, yet it works here and possibly makes it interesting to watch. You get the effect of a play, although subtle filming techniques like long takes and overlapping dialogue bring this movie to life. My favorite is Alan Alda as the seedy egocentric yet lovable producer.
Pineapple Express
A satisfying comedy and light hearted action. Pacing keeps it moving along with enough suspension of disbelief to enjoy the ridiculous antics. The jokes are pretty effective and draw honest laughter. James franco is great as a pothead potdealer, though he could work on his fake cough. and Seth Rogen should definitely work on his fake crying. I would have like to see more of Rosie Perez and that spunk. A fun buddy movie that did its job for an easy-going Sunday evening.
