I'm going to be seasick if they do that rotating thing a lot in the movie. What else can you do with a camera in a coffin, I guess.

Adventureland - Mini-Film Review

I finally rented Adventureland last week.  We couldn't get tickets for its premiere at Sundance last January, and somehow missed it this summer.  Greg Mottola, the writer/director, is the same one who made Superbad.  The trailer made it seems like it is a similar madcap raunchy comedy.  It's actually a much sweeter film than you would expect.

Jesse Eisenberg plays James, a recent college graduate with an English degree.  He's not qualified for many jobs, and with his family's changed financial circumstances he has to find a summer job.  The only thing left is working at the local amusement park Adventureland.  Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig play the hilarious owners.  Ryan Reynolds is the maintenance guy with the rep that he once jammed with Lou Reed.  James is immediately attracted to his fellow co-worker played by Kristen Stewart.  I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at how well she acted in this film.  She had much more range to show in this role, as she has a secret affair with the married Ryan Reynolds character.  It was interesting that Ryan Reynolds was playing kind of a sleazeball, too, as he has been so squeaky good guy in his recent Rom Coms.

Jesse Eisenberg's character is similar to every one that Michael Cera has ever played.  He's nerdy and a little naive, but somehow I found Jesse Eisenberg much more annoying to me than Michael Cera ever is.  He's supposed to still be a virgin after graduating college.  I suppose that's realistic, but I just found it difficult to swallow.

The plot is not completely predictable, and even the "sexpot" supporting character was allowed a little depth.  It's a lot of 80's nostalgia, too, especially with the music (a Foreigner cover band makes a funny appearance at one point).  I give it three stars for a surprisingly sweet story, and not just being a formula picture.  I won't, however, be going out of my way to see the next Jesse Eisenberg film.  Worth a rental.

Ryan Reynolds is Green Lantern

After rumors that the role of the Green Lantern was down to three - Ryan Reynolds, Bradley Cooper (whose star is certainly on the rise!) or Justin Timberlake (!??!), we have our answer. It's going to be Ryan Reynolds, who was one of the best things about Wolverine as Deadpool.

Empire agrees that “Reynolds can do headstrong and cocky in his sleep.”

Of the three actors vying for the role, Reynolds was our first choice to play the headstrong, cocky Hal Jordan, a hotshot pilot who becomes entrusted with an all-powerful ring and membership of a galactic corps of green-clad cops whose job it is to keep the peace in the universe.

Green Lantern is set for a June 17, 2011 release just in time for my birthday. "Green Lantern" a DC Comic that started in 1940, is the story of Hal Jordan, a second-generation test pilot. Jordan is an ordinary man who has been charged with defending a sector of the universe.

Yeah, Nathan Fillon would have been great, too, but we'll take Ryan. He's the whole package. Looks awesome, nailed the whole angsty superhero as Deadpool, and he's damn funny. I loved him in the Proposal. Ryan is an actor who has grown on me over the years. Good for him to get such a major role.

Here's hoping Bradley Cooper can snag something juicy soon, too.

Yum. Can't wait to see The Proposal. He's gorgeous and funny!

Notice what I did right away? The chest hair, and you know I love a hairy chest. Thanks, Ryan, for not waxing!
