The Hangover Part II, a review by Dragonfire

---

The Hangover Part II Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Doug (Justin Bartha) travel to exotic Thailand for Stu's wedding. After the unforgettable bachelor party in Las Vegas, Stu is taking no chances and has opted for a safe, subdued pre-wedding brunch. However, things don't always go as planned. What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happens in Bangkok can't even be imagined.

After watching The Hangover again, I decided to follow up with The Hangover Part II.  There is very, very little different from the first movie, which is a shame.  Even the structure of the story is the same - starting by showing Phil making a call about how they screwed up, and then the movie jumps back in time to show how they got to that point.  This time Stu is getting married.  It is nice to see him with a nicer woman than that shrew he was involved with in the first movie.  Doug manages to escape the night, but once again, Phil, Stu, and Alan wake up with no idea what happened and they have lost Stu's soon to be brother-in-law Teddy.  Chow or Chan...I can't even remember his name at the moment, is back and ends up with more to do.  That is unfortunate because he is annoying.  The longer he is around, the more annoying he gets.  It does seem like there was an attempt to make this movie even wilder and more shocking than the first.  The face tattoo is the least of what happens to Stu.  He really should just lock himself in a closet or something and not leave his house.  The returning characters are pretty much the same without any development.  Alan is a bit jealous of Teddy being around, but that is it.

The Hangover Part II is too much like the first movie.  It does have some funny moments, but the fact that the movie is basically identically except for a few small changes makes it mostly pointless.

I barely gave this 3 stars when I originally reviewed it.

       In 1942, at the confiscated estate of a Jewish businessman, Reinhard Heydrich, Adolf Eichmann and the upper echelon members of the Nazi party, came together to set in motion the plan to execute all people deemed irrelevant and unnecessary to the forging of the new German state. The decisions made at the would lead to the systematic extermination of over 14 million Europeans, of which 6 million were Jews, and would be forever remembered as the ConspiracyRatings Criterion4 Stars - Historically important film, considered a classic.

"Due South" marathon, a review by Rick

Victoria's Secret - Part 1

From the very beginning you can tell this episode is going to be different. There was some comedy in it, the hat as Tom pointed out  I also got a chuckle at the vacuum and the TV Fraser borrowed, both were broken and HE had to fix them before he returned them  But it is for the most part all Drama.

I thought Ray acted kinda crappy when he came to Fraser's house to get the money, it did give them a chance for Fraser to leave the appartment I guess it worked. It seemed a bit out of character to me though.

The story is pretty predictible but still enjoyable. Great ending. The next episode is beginning right now
