Grown Ups

Yesterday I went to the movies with the intention of watching Eat, Pray, Love but ended up watching Grown Ups ("Gente Grande" in Portuguese) with a couple of friends... It's not the type of film I usually enjoy... I mean, OK, it's funny, you can laugh sometimes but that's it, period. :)

Plot: After their high school basketball coach passes away, five good friends and former teammates reunite for a Fourth of July holiday weekend. (IMDb)

If you like comedies like this though...

New Chuck Lorre's series: Mike & Molly

Together with this storm of TV-series getting back on air in September, some new series are having their premiere also in September, some that we don't even get to know, because we are busy trying to keep up with Dexter, Fringe, Supernatural, House, etc.

One of these new series is called Mike & Molly, from Chuck Lorre, the same producer of both Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory, and just like both of them, lasts about 20 minutes and is based in comic facts. Mike ("My Name is Earl"), an obese police cop, meets Molly ("Gilmore Girls"), an obese teacher, in an OA (Obese Anonymous) meeting and start dating. The series tells the story of their new relationship problems and also the prejudice and problems they come accross because of their size...

A different and original series, if you enjoy the other Chuck Lorre's productions, it is worth checking out. I found the first episode rather interesting, and I will be watching a few more to see were this is trully going before I make up my mind, after all this was just the pilot... They were only introducing the characters... ;)

Check out the trailer!:

Inglorious Basterds and The Hangover

Yesterday I've been to a couple of friends home to watch some movies, actually to watch Inglorious Basterds that all of us, shamefully, hadn't watched yet... Directed by Quentin Tarantino (I really like his movies), Inglorious Basterds tells the tale of a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds" that are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. It is really good!

After that they still wanted to watch something, and they had just bought The Hangover ("Se Beber Não Case", in Portuguese) along with Inglorious Basterds and they hadn't watched it also, so... I don't know if it is possible, but I think that yesterday I laughed at some parts even more than I did at the first time I watched it... There are scenes that are still funny, no matter what... It's a Las Vegas-set comedy centered around three groomsmen who lose their about-to-be-wed buddy during their drunken misadventures, then must retrace their steps in order to find him.

Dead Like Me and Simpsons

Today arrived the 1st and 2nd season of Dead Like Me (I have watched just the pilot episode, it was a recommendation, but I got interested and it was really cheap... XD) and the 11th season of Simpsons (the 12th is on its way)... Unfortunatelly I don't own all Simpsons seasons... I already had the 8th, the 1st-7th and the 9th and 10th I have it recorded, but not the boxes... Shame, but I will be getting them little by little, but the 11th and 12th I didn't have either way, so... :)
