One-word movie reviews

“I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry”

I now prounounce this movie: Unwatchable

Which is amazing for me, considering that I enjoyed Happy Gilmore and the Waterboy so I don’t mind the idea of a stupid movie with Adam Sandler. But this was painful. Honestly as a guy I was disappointed. I’ve never seen such poor acting on all parts or such awkward writing. The phrase "phoning it in" comes to mind, but in this case it was a collect call. I really hope none of my friends in LA worked on this. I saw an interview with Jessica Biel recently where she spoke about choosing to do this movie because she really wanted to work with Adam Sandler because she admired his work; not because she thought he was funny but specifically his skills. Now THAT’S acting. I’m now waiting for the “Inside the Actor’s Studio” with Adam Sandler where he is portrayed as a demigod, right up there with Olivier and Rob Shneider.

Debates

They had charts, graphs, one guy (Rajoy) had a color coded, post-it’d file full of photocopies. The other had a 3-ring binder.
They haven’t had a presidential-level debate here in 15 years, so perhaps they were out of practice, or perhaps they truly despised one another. But we heard some forceful language. You’re lying. That’s a lie. You cheated the public. You deceived the country. Pretty forceful stuff. I thought they were going to go over the table at each other.
