The Hangover, a review by Dragonfire

At first I wasn't interested in seeing The Hangover, then once it was out, I started seeing a lot of positive reviews about how funny it is.  So I changed my mind.  I was finally able to go see it the other day. 

Doug is getting married.  He's going to Las Vegas with his two best friends and future brother-in-law for a bachelor party.  The next morning, the room is in shambles, there is a baby in a closet, a tiger in the bathroom, Doug is missing, and the other three can't remember anything that happened.  They start to try to piece together the night in an attempt to find Doug. 

This movie is hilarious.  It is truly the funniest movie I've seen in a long time.  It won't appeal to everyone though because a lot of the humor is crude and offensive, with some of it even being obscene.  There is a lot of swearing, some nudity, and some drug use, so the movie is not family friendly.  It will end up offending some people, but it is well worth watching for people that like this type of humor. 

The plot isn't that complicated, but the movie is still very entertaining and there are a few minor surprises that keep things interesting.

I've heard there is already a sequel being planned and I'll probably go see it too.  I'm sure I'll get the DVD once it is out.

 

I did get a review posted at Epinions if someone wants to take a look.

Smallville: The Complete Seventh Season, a review by addicted2dvd

Smallville: The Complete Seventh Season (2007/United States) There are two CLARK KENTs. One is the young man whose life in a tiny Kansas town sets him on destiny's path. The other is a BIZARRO show shares Clark's DNA but not his values. Only one of them can survive. SUPERMAN mythology grows deeper and more powerful in an event-packed season that includes the arrival of Clark's cousin KARA/SUPERGIRL. Keep a low profile and master your powers, Clark says. Kara has other ideas. Plus: LANA LANG might prefer Bizarro to the real deal. LOIS LANE makes a career leap. CHLOE SULLIVAN finds that balancing a meteor power with a personal life isn't easy. And LEX LUTHOR's power-lust has a new fixation - Kara. New characters and complications. New secrets and lore. New thrills and special effects. Power up to Season 7! Episodes: 1. Bizarro 2. Kara 3. Fierce 4. Cure 5. Action 6. Lara 7. Wrath 8. Blue 9. Gemini 10. Persona 11. Siren 12. Fracture 13. Hero 14. Traveler 15. Veritas 16. Descent 17. Sleeper 18. Apocalypse 19. Quest 20. Arctic

While I still enjoyed this season very much over-all... it has my least favorite storyline of the entire series. That being the Veritas storyline. The episodes dealing with Veritas just didn't hold my interest as much as any of the other episodes. This season does introduce Kara/Supergirl. As for guest stars I am familiar with for this season. There was Dean Cain who played Clark Kent/Superman himself in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.  James Marsters returns in several episodes as Brainiac. This season we also see the long gone  Sam Jones III (Pete Ross) back for a single episode. Gina Holden (Blood Ties) shows up for a single episode as well.

The seventh season aired in 2007. Which is the year of the writer's strike. But we seemed to get lucky for this series... and didn't lose out on too many episodes this time. As this season still has 20 episodes. So I am thankful for that.
