Summer Movie Review - Lost in Translation

Let's start with the obvious - Bill Murray is awesome. That's not an opinion, that's straight fact. And he was awesome in Lost in Translation. Second, Lost in Translation is pretty fuckin' good (they should put that quote on the movie poster, assuming they take quotes for movie posters years after the movie comes out and from little-known blogs). Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson are both great, and the story, unlike many other movies, feels like it actually could be true. My roommates had different reactions to the movie, but I really liked it, and reccomend to everyone that hasn't seen it to check it out.

Best Part - Staying up all night singing karaoke in Japan with Bill Murray seems like fun.

Rating - 4.5/5

Summer Movie Review - See No Evil, Hear No Evil

I had no idea what to expect going in - I felt this could either be pretty good or really bad. While it wasn't amazing, See No Evil, Hear No Evil was a pretty solid comedy, though the idea that one guy was blind and one guy was deaf both sounds and was really gimicky. It's got all your eighties comedy staples - mixed race leads, slapstick humor, funny accents and, of course, boobs. All in all, a solid movie if you're bored and can't decide what to watch on Netflix.

Best Part - Richard Pryor having to pretend to be a renowned gynecologist just writes itself.

Rating - 3/5

Fireworks are Awesome

I think Apu said it best - "Celebrate your country by blowing up a small part of it!"

Monday Music - Michael Jackson

MJ, otherwise known as the Crowned King of Pop, was and still is the single greatest musician of all time. Sure, he might have been a little strange, but that doesn't stop him from being one of the most talented performers ever. RIP MJ.

"Beat It"

"Don't Stop Till You Get Enough"

Summer Movie Review - The Fighter

The moral of the story? Don't do crack. Also there were a shit ton of mosquitos in the house when I was watching this movie. I must have killed a solid dozen while the movie was on.

Rating - 4/5 (Not as good as True Grit, but better than the Social Network)

Best Part - Watching Christian Bale fall into garbage twice was pretty funny. But that might just be me.

Karl's Top 7 - Favorite Internet Memes

If the Internet was a real place, it would be the strangest/coolest/scariest place in the world. The Internet is great because it allows the world to connect with each other, and is frightening for the very same reason. Memes are the product of this interconnectedness, and are one of the greatest things to come out of the Internet since Betty White. For more information on memes, check out Know Your Meme.

Honorable Mentions - Musically Oblivious 8th Grader, Most Interesting Man in the World, PTSD Clarinet Boy

7. Vengeance Dad

Remember when I said the Internet was scary? Vengeance Dad plays on how creepy the dad in this picture looks. The look on his face is one of no remorse, as if he has lost his soul long ago. Vengeance Dad is one of the creepier, though still hilarious, memes out there.
