Casino Royale ****

Casino Royale is the awesomest James Bond movie ever. I have seen like 10 of them so far and Goldeneye and Gold finger were the two best ones i thought. I was a little skeptical about this one since it did not have gold in the title and they got rid of remington steele. mr steele looked fat and old in the matador so i guess thats why they got rid of him. My mom always liked that show, but I thought it was kinda repetitive so I did nto care much when they got rid of mr steele. I looked up the new guy and he was in layer cake, which i thought was kinda boring. this movie is wya not boring. at the very beginning layer cake is in black and white and fights super loud and awesome in a bathroom then he chases after some guy for like days and never gets tired, even though he breaks through walls and jumps and runs and spins and dodges bullets. and! right after that he has to go on two crazy missions in a row with guns and bombs and american police, which is crazy for him because layer cake is british. I guess he got tired after all of this because then the movie slows down and he drives a way cool car after a stupid ford and some really old car. He kisses some girl all over like he always does and then plays cards for a long time. i am glad that lots of cool chases and explosions and guns happened before the cards and kissing because it all drags a little, but then it gets super cool and suspensful in between card playing. Plus a lot of times when Layer Cake and the girl are together, the audience laughed so you know this movie was funny too. Anyway cards is over thank god and the movie gets kinda confusing and feels like it ends boring and kissy. But it doesnt end! It keeps going and I was like will it ever stop but then it got cool again and I did not want it to stop ever. It finally ends super awesome and we realize layer cake as james bond is a lot more vioolent and killing than the people who played james bond before and the audience is happy about that because guns are cool but beating somebody with your fists is also cool.
I liked this movie a lot, but it did seem slow in parts and while i was watching it, someone was hitting my windshield with a baseball bat and now i have to get a new one which made me sad. I wish I had some of layer cake's guns with silencers to shoot the windshield people with. Until I get some though I will just watch this movie again and again and pretend those guys are the people getting shot.

The Break -Up ***1/2

I liked this movie and thought it was funny. my girl hated it and said it was sad. it has the good guy from dodge ball and wedding crashers and it has the guy who he was with in swingers and made, which were both awesome movies. so this movie has gotta be awesome too. It also has one of the chicks from friends in it. So friends and dodge ball are a couple and dodge ball only buys a couple of lemons one day when he is supposed to buy more and he wants to watch sports instead of set the table or something so his girl breaks up with him. they have a really good apartment apparently so neither one wants to move out. they stay together for everything like bowling night and game night with their friends, but they are broken up and they keep yelling at each other randomly. they divide the apartment and kinda try to get the other person out, but not stupid like duplex which i hated. anyway dodge ball says lots of funny things, but in his dodge ball way so you miss where to laugh if you dont really like his jokes normally. When he is with his swingers friend he is especially funny, but not as much as he was in swingers or made. One good thing happens when they go to see The Old 97's and they sing that time bomb in my mind mom song which is fun, but it is also a sad scene at the same time. So SOME people dont like this movie because they see funy and sad things next to each other and only end up sad and then the ending pushes them over the edge. I did not think the end was sad if you listen to what dodge ball and friends are saying through the whole thing and know when to laugh. The ending seemed proper to me because no one can live in the same place forever on purpose.
This movie wasnt as funny as swingers or made and it made my girl sadder than happy. dodgeball and friends are always talking about what they dont like in the other person and i do not know why they did not just stop talking to each other. there is a gay guy from best in show in this film. if it had been funnier i would have laughed more and so would everyone else so I only give it 3.5 stars.
You should watch all of dodgeballs other funny movies if you liked this movie.
