21 Jump Street - a parody of a nostalgic TV Show!

I took JHKey to 21 Jump St yesterday.  I had a lot of fun - only because I watched it as a parody not as an imitation of the great show.  As a Parody it was very funny - it made fun of the show and 80's remakes all together.  However beware - it was VERY RAUNCHY!  I would not have taken JHKey if "Fandango" had been more honest about why it had an R rating.  The language and jokes were more than R rated.  But it was hilarious.  I really enjoyed the cameos of the original cast - keep an eye out for them!

The Hunger Games - I was disappointed

I haven't been to the movies since my birthday in January - a major dry spell....So I took JHKey to see the Hunger Games yesterday.  I was expecting to be dazzled, it was good, but not excellent.  I plan on reading the books, maybe then my opinion will change.

The acting for the young cast was great.  The concept was cool (like Mkey says - teenagers killing teenagers what could be bad - just kidding) but it was just ok.

If the movie can get kids to read (like Harry Potter did) then by all means take them.  I think it's a little weak for adults.

PS caught up on dvd on The Descendants which also disappointed me.  I mean I can never get enough of Clooney Man but I thought it would be more of a tear jerker than it was. Shaylene was great.
