Hamlet 2

Hamlet 2 is what I would call a "renter." You know, the kind of movie that is somewhat entertaining, but you shouldn't waste $10 to go see it?

I don't really have anything bad to say about the movie except that you should avoid it if you are easily offended. The humor is very similar to that of South Park, which likes to take aim at anything and everything. The same goes for Hamlet 2. No one is spared!

The movie had some really great, funny moments, but also fell flat during many parts. David Arquette, who has the potential to be a very funny actor wasn't given anything to do in this movie. Elizabeth Shue, on the other hand was a joy to watch. I love to see actors poking fun of themselves in movies (Neil Patrick Harris in Harold & Kumar comes to mind as a favorite of mine.)

But by far the best part of the movie was when we finally get to see the play at the very end of the movie. The musical numbers are ridiculous and offensive and very catchy! Try to get "Rock Me Sexy Jesus" out of your head after seeing it.

Speaking of that song, I feel the need to stick up for it in the movie. Knowing people who work at a movie theater, I know that there have been a lot of complaints about the trailer for Hamlet 2, because of that song. People find it offensive. What I find ridiculous is that the people that were complaining about Hamlet 2 being offensive were there watching Tropic Thunder, which has offensive content on it's own!

So, the bottom line is, if the title of the song "Rock Me Sexy Jesus" offends you, then just skip the movie, because it only goes downhill from there. But if you are open to all kinds of humor, then I recommend you see Hamlet 2. Just wait til it comes out on dvd and rent it!

Big Brother 10 -- Final Two

Tonight was the final Head of Household competition for this season of Big Brother. We found out that Dan won round one of the competition, leaving Memphis and Jerry to vie for the second position in the final round. Memphis easily kicked Jerry's butt in the competition ( 8 minutes to Jerry's 51 minutes) which meant that Dan and Memphis got to compete in round 3. Dan won, and it was no surprise (to anyone except maybe Jerry) that Dan chose to evict Jerry and take Memphis with him to the finals.



Dan and Memphis have had the "Renegades" alliance since week 4, and I have to give them both so much credit. Dan played this game the best out of everyone; he lost when he need to look weak and won when he needed the power to save himself. He "betrayed" people and voted people out, never forgetting that "this is a game." In a season when so many of the houseguests took things personally and forgot the whole point of the show, Dan always remained cool, calm, and in control.



Memphis played a strong game, too, though. Brian mentioned in the first week that Memphis was not to be discounted, and no one believed him. Memphis won the first luxury challenge, yet still he didn't have a target on him. Memphis coasted along each week, never having to win an HOH competition. He made alliances when he needed to, broke those alliances when he needed to and also followed the mantra of "it's only a game."

This is the first time in many seasons of Big Brother, where I can actually argue for each of them to win the prize money. My preference is probably Dan, because he did stick his neck out on the line and make more "big" moves in the game.

I am looking forward to seeing how the jury members choose the big winner next Tuesday.
