We're The Millers

A lot of people wanted to see this movie to see Jennifer Aniston strip. I wanted to see it to see the white kid rap! And some RON SWANSON!!!

You can gather what "We're the Millers" is about from the trailer. It is a raunchy comedy following a drug dealer, a stripper, a homeless girl and a super dooper white kid on a major drug smuggling mission. Hilarity inn sues. Especially when Ron F***ing Swanson shows up!

Honestly, I thought this would be one of those movies where all of the funny parts are in the trailer. And apart from Nick Offerman and Will Poulter (White kid, "Son of Ranbow"), I'm not a huge fan of anyone in this movie. But it exceeded my expectations.

I'm gonna take this moment to ask a question. Do I seem like a broken record. I feel like I say the same stuff for every movie. Perhaps I just have a smaller vocabulary than previously thought, but I just don't know how else to describe these movies. Oh, well.

Anyway, this movie had me laughing throughout and even pumping my fist in celebration at some moments. Not many movies can do that.

Go see it. Or else... Nothing will happen, but still, go see it.

The Kings of Summer

I love when movies that weren't released when you were a kid gives you a sense of nostalgia. When it brings back memories of you when you were the main characters age. Now, I never ran away from home, but the one thing this movie reminded me of was the sense of freedom during the summer before I went off and got myself a job. The memories of running around the woods with your best friends and just being free. I miss that.

I know that trailer doesn't show much, but it is the essence of this movie. Here's a better trailer if you'd like, but this scene just sums up the movie perfectly.

"The Kings of Summer" tells the story of three kids that run away and build a house in the woods. A quite impressive house, I might add. Tired of their parents ruling their lives, they decide to live on their own in the woods. The three bond closer together as they try to survive in the wilderness. And as always with boys, everything is fine until you throw a girl in the mix. Why can't you ladies just mind your own business? Jeez!

Backed by a veteran cast that includes Nick Offerman, Allison Brie and Megan Mullally, the three young leads really drive this movie. Especially Moises Arias who plays the uninvited and slightly terrifying comedic relief.

Why they ever trusted him with a Machete, I'll never know.

Perhaps it was out of fear.

I still have to mull it over for a few weeks before I decide for sure, but this is looking like it could be my favorite movie of the year so far. Granted, we still have 6 months left, and the last 6 months are better than the first, but this movie was good. Damn good.

Go see it! You will not be disappointed.
