148 - The Wackness

Squires and Shapiro, that's a funny tandem especially when you see that it's Ben Kingsley and Josh Peck......oh, and my apologies, Sir Ben Kingsley. He really pulls it off, hits his spots, and just has the facial expressions and nuances to match. The story is in the neighborhood of Wonder Boys....where in place of the mentor and student you have the shrink and the patient. The dynamic between Squires and Shapiro are both funny and geniune.

147 - The Go Getter

The story had promise and it had a supporting cast that can really carry it with Zooey, Jena, Maura, and Bill (Duke).....but the film falls short. Lead Lou Taylor Pucci has the innocent face, but just does not seem to be able to bring the character needed for the story.

146 - Comedy Central Roast: Denis Leary

I do actually like Denis Leary's film and tv work more than his standup.....despite the opposite of which was a common punch line in the roast.....but this was comedy central so that shouldn't be a surprise. While some film choices I'm sure were more for fun, I think he was good in films like Ref and his supporting roles in Suicide Kings and Ice Age (as Diego)...and what more can be said about The Job and Rescue Me? This roast was funny and entertaining and being on DVD was uncensored and you get a lot of surprises.

145 - Waltz with Bashir

This may be beginning of an era where animation is used instead of live action to tell a story. At first it feels like the film was a rotoscope like A Scanner Darkly, but it isn't. It was wonderfully done and the story was very compelling.
