This Is The End 2013 Review
After along break (in Benders voice) I'm back baby. Too be honest it's been a pretty long time since i saw a movie that merits having to write a review S.T.A.T. Then this month bam, I got hit with a ton of good movies, and I saw tons of people comming to my site, I guess I gotta get off my butt and start working harder with this, well anyway i'll talk more when i create my blog for this site. Up right now is the new comedy slash horror movie This Is The End or as I'll be writing T.I.T.E. I knew when this was in the cinema I wanted to see it, but I didn't think it needed to be seen in the cinema, well i was wrong. The movie takes a different approach to the end of the world movies. First all the actors in it play themselves, well kinda of(more on that later). Seth Rogen and Jay Baruchel are best friends and get together when Jay comes to L.A. Jay does not like L.A. and wants to spend the entire trip getting high with Seth at his crib. Eventual Seth convinces Jay to go to a party hosted by Seth's co-actor James Franco. At the party we get to meet several actors partying, which is funny but the big grip I have with this movie is all the actors while playing themselves create alter egos for this movie, which most are just assholes and just not good people. I didn't have a whole lot of sympathy for most of them. Jay decides at the party to get smo0kes at a gas station and while there there's a huge earthquake and then people get beamed up in the sky. Then all hell breaks loose and they decide to go back to Jame's house. At this point in the movie your not sure what's going on, wither it's aliens or the end of the world. One thing worth noting is for most the movie I had a tough time thinking this was hell on earth, I just kept wanting to think it was aliens. The first half of the movie goes really slow and just makes you hate most of the cast a little by little. Finally things pick up and then it's over before a blink of the eye. Most this movie takes place in Franco's house and there are a lot of funny jokes,most of them being penis jokes, I did like the peeing joke and the rape joke with lovely Emma Watson of Harry Potter.. We are introduced to the black sheep pretty early on and it's Danny Mcbride. Danny why do you alwas get c cast as the asshole, your so good at playing it I wonder if you are a dick in real life. Really Danny gets to be very bad for little reason, in fact most of them are shitty to each other for no reason,, and Jonah Hill was sooo nice that I found it irritating just hearing him but man do they screw him up in the end. The direction in the movie otherwise was good, the effects didn't look bad for cgi. The music that was in it really fit besides the panty song lol. Craig Robinson was also in it was very great in it. He made me laugh out loud. Now I really don't like spoilers, but something must be brought up.. If you don't want end movie spoilers stop reading now and go to score or the trailer n now..........Ok the end it's decided that they have to themselves right with god to go to heaven and get off of earth,, how do they do that you ask? by sacrificing themselves. The problem with that is they all start doing that to get to heaven, what a scary idea, at one point James does that and gets sent back down for being a sore winner, not to mention even after they get to heaven they still have horrible mouths, show some freaking respect. That concept scared the crap out of me,, and they last thing I thought was screwed up it's decided that in heaven you can wish for anything you want, does jay wish for the people who died to be there? Nope instead he wishes for the backstreet boys, while this is funny it just shows you how unlikeable the main cast is. OK score time.
8 out of 10 skulls a must watch if you can get past the unlikeable cast and concept.
