three more movies

I’ve also recently seen:

Jennifer’s Body, 2009.

Ridiculous. Did a good job of portraying high schoolers and their relationships, actually. Except for the random addition of an evil succubus and evil rock band. What?

Youth in Revolt, 2009.

A lot better than I was expecting. Really quite funny. Very much a movie for people my age. But fun and enjoyable. I like Michael Cera, and I think he’s going to end up being more versatile than one might have expected at first. Yeah. The movie’s about him breaking out of the mold he started off in, and it’s silly, but it’s actually pretty clever and I laughed quite a bit. And got over the shudders over the awkward/embarrassing things that happened.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

Felt like it was taking the children’s book as a jump-off point, and like it was made equally for stoners as for kids, but actually quite fun to my surprise.
