For the first time in forever, we rented a few movies. We had some time over the holidays, so I used a gift card I got for my birthday and picked a pair up at Blockbuster.<\/p>\n

We had want to see The Ex<\/strong><\/a> (which has somehow been re-titled “Fast Track) when it came out in the theatre, but just never had a chance. Part of that was because the film flopped. After watching it, I’m not entirely sure why. Sure, I’m easily entertained and was pre-disposed to like it because I love the Jason Bateman and the Zach Braff, but the film was not that bad.<\/p>\n

What is the world coming to when easily tied up 90-minute romantic comedies with a fairly unbelieveable premise can’t get any attention? I love that the real <\/strong>R-rated comedy<\/a> has made a comeback, but I hope that’s not at the expense of movies like The Ex. Especially since Charles Grodin does a fantastic job in the film.<\/p>\n

Our other choice was Ocean’s Thirteen<\/strong><\/a>. <\/strong>I pretty much knew this would rock because I liked the first two versions, and I really like watching pretty much all the guys in the cast. The interplay between all the characters is so entertaining even though you know the entire scenario is completely unbelievable.<\/p>\n

The whole storyline in Mexico with Casey Affleck cracked me up.\u00a0 Plus, I liked getting to see all the Vegas scenes, although I think the fake hotel featured in the plot had about four different locations on the Strip based on the CGI external shots.<\/p>\n

Who cares though? That’s what makes movies like that great. I knew it was totally implausible. They knew it was totally fake. But they still managed to entertain me for two hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
