Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010)
Gets better with every viewing
I wish I could give this movie an 11 or higher. I admit to being put off by the title,who wants to watch a movie about wimpy kids,right? The characters are charming in their own ways.Each have their own little idiosyncrasies that don't really show the first time around. Clever little jokes are sprinkled throughout.The soundtrack is appealing in it's own right. The animation sequences are fun. It's a simple story about the friendship between two middle school friends adjusting to life in their new surroundings. I wish idiots like the one who referred to it as diary of a waspy kid would keep their racist comments to their self.If you watched the movie you'd see faces of every color sprinkled throughout the movie.Stop trying to read something into it that isn't there. This has become my second favorite movie ever and I've watched it at least 20 times since I bought the DVD.
Meet the Applegates (1990)
A fun waste of time
I'm sick and tired of people ripping this movie apart. Who cares why there's a scorpion featured in the opening shot when the movie is about cockroaches.Beetlejuice opened with a spider and that's not the main character either. Yes,in this age of political correctness there are flaws.Is rape ever funny? Funny that foul language isn't mentioned yet,I guess nowadays it's too commonplace and nobody cares. Low budget special effects-check. Cheesy dialog-check. Nods to John Waters-I guess so. I think this movie entertains.It also offends from what I've read. Is it one of the worst ever made? Hardly. I can think of 50 films right now (recently released) that should be flushed down the toilet immediately.Hollywood excels at churning out bland,tasteless fodder for the mainstream masses. Stop taking it so seriously.It's meant to be a dark comedy and that's exactly what it is. Now where's the DVD?.
