The Other Guys


Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are the cops you don't see in the movies . . they're the "Other Guys"



Casey's Take:  Here's the first draft of the script of this movie.

ENT. Police Station

Mark Walhberg

"Hey, how's you mother doing?"

Will Ferrell
"AAAAAAAArrrrrrrrgggghhhh"

[Explosions and falling down]

END


Brotherhood

Two men thrust *wink* together in Neo-Nazi training camp overcome hostility and deepen their mutual admiration for each other until it leads to passion, threatening both of their lives.


Casey's Take #1:  Neo-Nazis and Gays . . .together at last.

Casey's Take #2:  It's like Brokeback Mountain, but y'know with more Nazi's. Guaranteed to win 40 Oscars.




Cairo Time

A woman waits for her detained Husband in Cairo and slips into an affair with a handsome local . . . 


Casey's Take:  Don't worry white women, if a Black Guy doesn't fall for you in your 20s, a middle-aged foreigner will in your 40s.



The Oxford Murders

Frodo applies to Havard and with his strong grasp of logic teams with his professor to solve increasingly complex murders.


Casey's Take: The DaVinci Code without the whole "religion" thing as a plot device . . . so it's probably good.


Lebanon


A depiction of the 1982 war between Israel and Lebanon as told from the perspective of an Israeli Tank Gunner.





Casey's Take:  You will probably be as tense watching this movie as the first time your parents had family movie night watching Dick Tracy and that Madonna scene where she comes out all naked happens.  I still cringe thinking about how Angry my Mom and Dad were at Warren Beatty.



The Concert

A Janitor who is a former Conductor engages on a madcap mission to put his old Orchestra back together to hijack a concert.


Casey's Take:  Don't let the synopsis throw you off, your Mom will LOVE this movie.



The Disappearance of Alice Creed

A woman is kidnapped and held for Ransom until something unexpected happens  . . . 


Casey's Take:  Grippingly Twisty Thriller could also be an allegory for masturbating at your in-laws house over Xmas break.

Also, you might remember Gemma Atherton for her prescient scene in "Quantum of Solace" as the perfect allegory for BP raping the Gulf of Mexico.


If you're confused, she's the Gulf of Mexico, the Bed and floor are the coastline, and the hotel room was paid for by *mostly* Republicans.






Twelve


Rich Boarding School kids from New York get pulled into the world of fake hard drugs and power.





Casey's Take: "Kids" with 50 Cent and a plot.








Step Up 3D


Just like Step Up 1 and 2 with no Channing Tatum and more "In Your Face" dancing.





Casey's Take:  Probably the best movie ever made. .  .
