The Change Up on HBO

I did not get to see this while in theaters, but watched it on HBO.
It was Jason Bateman at his best, it remined me of his role as Dereck on Silver Spoons with Ricky Schroder back in 80's.
It was good raunchy humor, very Farrelly Bros-esque.
I laughed out loud a bunch.
Rent it with your wife or girlfriend and have a few drinks to lighten the mood, it has a good moral to the story in the end.

6 out of 10

Dark Knight vs Occupiers of Wall St

Ok the Dark Knight rises is a movie about our society of the have and the have nots.
Its about class warfare, period. When there is too broad of distribution of wealth, the poor rise up.
That is  the premise of this flick.Bane is the ultimate Occupier on steriods!
Tom Hardy who plans Bane is a fantastic villain, and Christan Bale does a good job as Bruce Wayne.

There was a good plot twist and I liked the ending, which keeps it open for a Batman in any justice league movie--like the Avengers.
I'm sure that is the plan, to have Green Lantern, Super man, Batman, Flash, etc..
If I was running the movie studio that wouold be my plan.

Anyhow, iftwas very well done and did not seem like 2hrs 45min.
It did hit a little too close to home as far as society and our current financial status.
But I give it a 7.5  out of 10

The Watch is NOT worth watching on big screen

OK, I had big expectations for this flick. It did not deliver. It didn't suck but no need to run out and pay theater prices.
It would be a great man cave movie, or something to watch with the guys, get a good buzz on before seeing it.

Vince Vaughn always delivers as does Jonah Hill. they both were funny.

I would like to watch it again when it comes out on DVD and really listen to some of the dialogue. Which at times was funny but things happened so fast it was hard to comprehend sometimes.

OK flick
Give it a 5 out of 10
