It's time for another Good Idea, Bad Idea...summer movie edition.

Good Idea-

"Knocked Up"- Judd Apatow is the luckiest man in HollyHood, and this movie looks genuinely refreshing and funny.

Bad Idea-

Let's try HORRENDOUS IDEA. "Mr. Brooks" has everything going against it. Where to  start? Let's just try and list them-

a.)-Kevin Costner? Are you kidding? The man hasn't done anything worth mentioning since "Field Of Dreams." GIVE. ME. A. BREAK.
b.)-Demi Moore? Maybe it's because i've never thought she was that attractive, but I am not one of Demi Moore's biggest fans. She's a c-lister at best, and only stays afloat in Hollywood circles because she manages to date A-list material men (Bruce Willis, Ashton Kutcher).
c.)-DANE COOK? WHAT? The man isn't funny as a comedian/comedic actor! How are you going to give him any kind of a role as a serious one?
d.)- Script. Apparently this script was written in the mid-80's, but contract disputes with William Hurt (e. on this list) and directors have caused it to bounce from studio to studio with reckless abandon over the past 20 or so years.

Good Idea-

"Day Watch," or "Dnevnoy dozor, " the second installment of Russia's highest grossing series in history, is going to be an epic watch, if you don't mind reading subtitles.
For those who are not as quick with the reading or less inclined to like foreign movies, maybe it would be better to wait for director Timur Bekmambetov's American cinema debut with Wanted.

Dude, after actually watching Mr. Brooks I thought it was o.k. and Dane Cook that guy is freaking hilarious! That's just my opinion! By the way, create another blog... it's been a while!

Sincerely,
Brandon
