ghost town

i just wanted to really quick give a plug for this movie. not that i have a large audience for this blog, but i didnt know how else to really give a plug for it. i was planning on seeing it, but then my friend zach saw it and raved about it, so we went last night. its great. so here a few reasons why you should go this weekend:

1. it probably wont be in theaters next weekend. sadly, its a great movie that, like other quality movies, isnt making much money. it came out last weekend, critics loved it, but somehow 'tyler perry's the family that preys together' and other cinema vomit makes more money. its well thought out and has quality, but maybe not big named actors in it, so it doesnt do as well as lame movies with crap plots and junk actors. bummer.

2. the actors are really actually great though.

a. ricky gervais. if you havnt seen him then you have to go. he is the inspiration behind 'the office.' it started in england and he created it. so what you see on nbc every thursday is a knock off of his creation and brilliance, so dont give steve carrell too much credit (although he does do a good job and has done well at making the character his own), he's just trying to be what ricky gervais was/created. if you look in the credits of the office youll see that he produced it.

b. greg kinnear. who doesnt love this guy?

c. tia leoni. also fantastic. she's great. she's a 40 year old that is totally hot but seems like a normal woman and not a celebrity (can i say that now that im married? i dont really know if i can make comments like that anymore. i guess ill find out tonight... love you nellie).

3. the movie perfectly captures the comedy that ricky gervais created and/or perfected. so entertaining. nellie had never seen him before and she and i were both laughing hard at so many parts. he's created a really funny character.

4. its just a flat out good movie. good story. not too predictable. youll be happy you went and wont be upset you spent $11.50 getting in. look, its a weekend, youre probably going to the movies anyways, just go to it. all the other junk will be there for you next weekend.

5. the previews we saw were fantastic. the new bond movie looks amazing. 'australia' looks really, really good. something else. and that other one too. they both looked good at the time even though i dont remember what they were.

Kent-

Ghost Town was so good. I watched more episodes of the Office after I saw it just because I never get tired of Ricky Gervais.

As you already know, I totally loved this movie. Can you believe the power of blogs? I felt compelled to watch it last weekend, even by myself, just because you had raved about it so much. Tia is hot. Another thing about her? Wonderful legs. I don't how she does it, but they're great. I was laughing out loud throughout most of the movie. Very entertaining.

And you're right...the previews were also good. Bond looks great. I also liked The Soloist and Flash of Genius, another Greg Kinnear movie. Anyway...thanks for the shout out on my blog, and I second your rave review of Ghost Town.

Thanks for the review -- we actually tried to see this one night in Hawaii but the times were messed up in the paper. I'll have to take Eric this weekend.

I concur. We went last Saturday and it was hilarious. Dave actually cried because he was laughing so hard (the scene with the curry and dog breath and smelly spray). Everyone who claims they have a sense of humor should see it.
