The Hangover Part 2

   I loved The Hangover, it was hands down the funnest movie that came out that year, so it's very safe to say I was really looking forward to this one. Was I let down? A little bit, I expected more from the sequel, but instead I got almost the exact same movie. And when I say exact, I mean almost to the letter, exact same movie.

   The Wolf pack is back, and this time their in Thailand for Stu's wedding, but, after waking up once again in a strange place with no memories of what happened the night before, and another missing friend, they have to retrace their steps from the previous night and hope they can still come out on top.

   See what I mean? Exact same movie, it was still very funny, but, not as funny as the previous movie. It did well in the box office though, in fact I have already read that they are writing the script for the third installment to this franchise. Did I enjoy the movie? Hell yes I did, it was funny, as I said, and even know it was the same plot from the last movie, it still worked.

   They may have recycled a few of the jokes from the last movie, but there was enough new material to keep me rolling throughout the film. Especially the scene with Stu and the rest of the Wolf pack in the Thai strip club. This movie however was much dirty then the last, not just language wise, but, full frontal male nudity wise. You should keep that in mind before you decide to watch this one. I do recommend this movie to everyone, whether you've seen the last one or not, you'll still laugh at this one.

Limitless

   First of all, I love the basic idea for this movie, it's something I've always thought about. What if you could unlock the full potential of your brain. So, I was very much looking forward to seeing this movie. It may have not met all my expectations, but, it met enough of them for me to truly enjoy this movie from beginning to end.

   Limitless follows a struggling writer, who on a chance meet is offered a pill that will unlock the full potential of his brain, after using it for the first time, Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) is amazed at what he could accomplish, at his motivation, at the pure power his brain possess. As a series of twists and turns leads Eddie into a world he didn't know existed, he must ask himself, is it all worth it.

   The thought of a pill that can bring your intelligence into the four digits just amazes me, and this movie did a pretty good job as showing what that would be like in real world terms. How quickly someone could rise from having nothing, to having the entire world at their fingertips. How a man could take twelve thousand dollars, and in one months time turn it into two million dollars. I was hooked on it through the whole film.

   This movie deserves to be watched, just for the premise of it alone. The basic idea this movie is based around is so interesting to me. The actual plot of the movie is adequate, the pacing was a bit off I felt, and the way it ended left more to be desired. But, I still enjoyed the hell out of it, and I think you will too. I do recommend seeing this movie.
