The Spongebob Squarepants Movie

"Oh no!  This is terrible!  Who will sign my paychecks?"  Pretty much everyone who knows me knows that I am a HUGE fan of Spongebob.  As such, I may be somewhat biased in reviewing his feature-film debut, but I really don't give a rat's ass about my own biases.  Anywhoo, Plankton has tried every plan, all the way from A to Y, to steal the formula for the Krabby Patty, and as such is out - wait, what's this?  There's another letter in the alphabet?  Z?!?!?  Well, you get the picture.  And this plan is waaayyy more elaborate than anything that's come before - this time, Mr. Krabs could DIE.  Deliriously funny, with humor that is aimed (as in the show itself) more towards adults than towards its young target audience, the movie is definitely a treat for anyone who loves the show (and even for those who don't).

Rating: 80/100

Crazy, Stupid, Love.

A little crazy, but far from stupid, Crazy, Stupid, Love. is a funny, sweet romantic-comedy that just seems to work somehow.  I think the cast might be the cause of this, with exceptional performances given by all major players.  Now, where was I?  Oh yeah, the story: it starts off when Cal Weaver (Steve Carell) learns his wife Emily (Julianne Moore) has been cheating on him with her coworker, David Lindhagen (Kevin Bacon).  Having only been with one woman his entire life, Weaver is clueless as to how to find love again in his middle age.  Successful womanizer Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling) sets out to change this, helping Cal become confident enough to take women to bed.  Still, Cal can't seem to stop loving Emily, and it looks like she may still be in love with him.
Perfect for men and women alike, Crazy, Stupid, Love. will find a way into your heart (unless you're some sort of a weird, heartless douchebag.  Then you won't like it).
