funniest-movies-2012

There are all kinds of comedies, some more critic friendly than others. Stupid comedies… critics hate those. Dramatic comedies… boy, do critics eat those up. But what really matters when it comes to comedies? I have very specific criteria: a good comedy has to make me laugh.

Review: ‘The Watch’ is Not What it Seems

November 18th, 2012
the-watch

A gang of idiots combines forces to hunt down a murderer only to learn that the murderer is an alien plotting an invasion of their small town in The Watch, a film that is less notable for any of its own merits and more for being affected by the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin shooting case.

New to Netflix: The Sitter Movie Review

April 26th, 2012
the-sitter

Ah, babysitter movies. Pillow fights, sexy vixens in underwear and crazy adventures. Or Jonah Hill. And not even post-weight-loss Jonah Hill either. Very disappointing. In the new ridiculously unfunny The Sitter, Hill plays Noah, a college student who does nothing but hang out at his mother’s house.

It’s an all but given that most professional baseball teams take advantage of sabermetrics to some degree or another these days, which makes it easy to overlook the fact that only a decade ago, the use of advanced quantitative analytics to rank players was in its infancy, if not wholly ignored. The adoption of sabermetrics by so many teams is largely credited to Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane, and the 2003 book “Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game.”

This caught my eye: The Sitter, the “filthiest babysitter movie ever”. Awesome. I mean, like porn-awesome.

But wait! It stars Jonah Hill.

Talk about limp noodle.
