Theater Whore: The Interview

The Interview 8/10

The fact that this movie was being treated the way it had with threats and such is hilarious after watching this. The Interview is funny as fuck. This is one of those movies like Stepbrothers or Tropic Thunder where you have to watch it a few times because you can easily miss funny moments because so many of them happen. Once you get past all the drama and shit involved with this movie just being released it makes it even funnier.

This is about James Franco as an entertainment show host named Dave Skylark. If you've seen Extra, Access Hollywood, or Entertainment Tonight you'll know what kinda show it is. His producer Aaron Rapoport played by Seth Rogen is confronted by a former classmate that points out that he works on 60 Minutes so what he does is more important. After being conflicted over his feelings about this, Dave brings him the story of Kim Jong-un played by Randall Park being a fan and decide to try and get an interview with him.

Theater Whore: Neighbors

Neighbors 7/10

I trust Seth Rogen. Whenever I hear an interview with him promoting a movie and he says that his movie is funny I believe him. The trailer for this movie really needs to be done over again because it seems to be aiming for Rogen's normal crowd which will enjoy this movie but I think that if you are one of those people that say you don't like his movies or think it'll be too crass for you that you should give it a shot. Its actually very funny. Just the scene where they try to have sex but can't because the baby is watching made me crack up.

With this movie Neighbors it seems like there is a lot working against it. It is starring Rogen as Mac Radner. Rose Byrne as his wife Kelly who you have seen in movies but might not really know who she is. Zac Efron as Teddy Sanders who I can say that I've never watched a movie with him in it. He is described physically as “something a team of gay guys built in a machine.” Dave Franco stars as Pete Regazolli. Mac and Kelly are new parents who are having a hard time adjusting to no longer being able to leave the house and have fun and being parents. There's a funny scene where they are invited to a rave and fall asleep just getting the daughter ready to leave the house.

Theater Whore: This Is The End

I put off for a long while watching This Is The End and I’m not quite sure why. It has done well but I have only heard from one person I knew that it was good. So I finally watched it and laughed my damned ass off. This was one of the funniest movie I’ve seen since Tropic Thunder and Stepbrothers. This is about a bunch of friends, all celebrities, that end up experiencing the end of the world during a party and trying to figure out how to survive it.

Jay Baruchel shows up to meet with his friend Seth Rogen to go to a party. Jay isn’t all that excited about going since he doesn’t really know the people there and had a particular hatred for Jonah Hill. They spend the day getting high and then head over to James Franco’s house. Jay manages to upset Craig Robinson, Emma Watson, and witnesses Michael Cera, who is creepy and high as fuck, getting a blowjob and his ass eaten while drinking a Capri Sun in the bathroom. Rihanna ends up slapping him for smacking her ass. 

After Jay and Seth head to the store suddenly there are explosions and people are zapped with blue light that sends them floating into the sky. Jay and Seth race back to Franco’s home and everything there is fine. They don’t believe anything until earthquakes happen and a hole opens up outside and folks start falling into a fire pit.
