Summer 2011 In Review

This summer, I managed to snag a job reviewing for my town newspaper. As a result, I saw more movies this summer than I ever have in my very brief and insignificant existence. There were some highs and some lows, but this summer saw a significant redemption from last year's crapfest (excluding Inception and Toy Story 3, of course). Here is what I thought of the films I saw.

30 Minutes or Less - Review



I had thirty minutes or less to write this review, so here we go.

A fine genre known as the stoner comedy has emerged recently, due to the rise of Judd Apatow and actor Seth Rogen. We've seen it in films like Pineapple Express and Harold and Kumar. It often refers to the fact that the film heavily features pot, but I tend to think it's more descriptive of the films' sense of humor. In this, the film feels like it's written for younger audiences with a sense of humor that, well, you may have to be stoned to get. With that in mind, 30 Minutes or Less probably fits the bill just fine.
