Slept on Cinema

You Don't Mess with the Zohan has become one of my favorite movies. No matter when it comes on I have to watch it. I don't know why. It's just one of those sleeper comedies or as I call them "Slept On Cinema". For the most part I love me a good Adam Sandler/Happy Madison movie. I even like the Adam Sandler non Happy Madison movie Reign on Me but it was super sad, but Adam did a great job in it. The other day I saw Grown Ups...eh, it was alright for what it was. Anyways I'm getting away from the point. If you are not familiar with the movie plot it goes a little something like this: Zohan is an Israeli super killing machine, but he wants to be a hair stylist, he fakes his own death, moves to the US to embark on his dreams and it just goes on from there. Oddly enough the movie has some poignancy to it. With the Jewish/Palestinian/American relations and how they all view each other and how in the end the Jewish and Palestinian folks get along to defeat the bad American but they have love for the country (United States) that has allowed them to have all these opportunities. MESSAGE! Plus John Turturro is in it and you know how much I love him.

Slept on Cinema

If you know me, you know I am not a fan of animated movies, although I still want to see Toy Story 3, AND Princess and the Frog was pretty BAWSE but besides the point I really just dont do animated movies. I don't care how cool it looks, or how cute the story is, unless I have nowhere else to go and nothing else to do, I will not watch an animated movie. Well sunday morning I had nowhere else to go and nothing to do so I watched Up. First off it starts as a TOTAL DOWNER. Killing off the wife right off the top of the movie!? How Disney of you! Anyways to make a long story short the movie Up is one of the most touching movies I have watched ever. I was really into this movie, it was great. And the only reason I titled this "Slept on Cinema" was because I was the one who slept on this movie. Even if your not a fan of animated films this movie was freaking amazing, you should watch it. The end.

Slept On Cinema: The Five Heartbeats

My bestie since middle school recently got back in touch with me through facebook and this makes me very happy. Back in middle school we used to talk about this movie The Five Heartbeats all the time which inspired me to write this blog. The Five Heartbeats is one of my favorite movies of all time! Seriously. The movie is about a fictional group based on several artists from the 50s and 60s. The movie takes us through the journey of the group over a few decades. Although marked as a "musical drama" they movie was directed by Robert Townsend and Co written by Kenan Ivory Wayans, both whom are comedians. Either way if you have not seen this movie, you have not lived. And if you don't get goosebumps from the second half of this upcoming video....you don't have a pulse!
This is pretty much the best scene of the movie, observe:

This is one of the saddest yet funniest parts of the movie. This is me and Quana's (middle school bestie) favorite part!

And another awesome scene.
