Tropic Thunder (2008)
Terrible
I am astonished at how many people like this movie, I was bored from beginning to end laughing a handful of times (I counted) and couldn't wait to get out of the theater.
The movie is about these actors who are doing a very good job making this war movie so the director decides to put the actors in the real jungle and film them after the director dies so does the movie. Just about nothing happens after this point that's remotely funny. Tom Cruise's character was terrible all he does is yell and curse.
I really wanted to like this movie but in the end hated everything about it, biggest waste of money I've ever spent at the theaters. Many people I know feel the same way about this movie. Go rent Dumb and Dumber.
Dazed and Confused (1993)
One of my favorite movies ever
Dazed and Confused is one of the greatest Cult classics ever. Everyone has there favorite character and everyone knows some great lines from the movie.
The movie takes place on the last day of school where the high school SR's haze and paddle the now high school Freshman. No character takes the hazing as seriously as O'Bannion (Ben Affleck). It also revolves around drug use and a late night kegger. Two of my favorite characters in the movie are resident cool guy, Wooderson (Matthew McConaughey), and stoner Slater (Rory Cochrane.) A number of reasons can be given as to why this is such a great movie but I'll give 1. The movie feels remarkably real and authentic. A lot of the kids in this movie are just kids found and asked if they would play in this movie. They are all very good and there inexperience makes the movie feel even more real. There is no real point to the movie which I suppose is the point of the movie. It's a movie where if you like it you'll watch over and over and over and over again (I think I've seen it 20 times since last year.)
