Pineapple Express (2008)
Wait for the DVD .. or possibly TV .. or not even then.
I really enjoyed Superbad and I think Seth Rogan is a rare talent, however this movie was really poor.
About halfway through the movie, it seemed as though whoever was in charge of writing the screenplay left and the cast were forced to improv the rest of the film ..
The action scenes were slapstick without the obvious kitsch that would make it acceptable .. and there way too many 'love-in' scenes between the male characters, it got a little embarrassing to be watching it.
This was probably the worst movie I've seen all year. If you must see it, do yourself a favour and leave after the dumpster scene .. it's all downhill from there .. plus, it won't taint your impressions of Seth Rogan .. hopefully his next one will redeem him.
Restraint (2008)
Great movie ..
Occasionally, a movie comes along which on face value doesn't really stand out .. this was certainly one of those. That being said, I'm really glad I took the time to watch this film.
Great acting, and a genuinely unique plot made this film most enjoyable .. I firmly believe this is a fine example of Australian film making at it's best. Whilst this is certainly no big budget blockbuster, and I didn't recognise any of the actors, I can guarantee Teresa Palmer is destined for great things and she was well supported. (not that she needs a great deal of support .. you'll see) Great film, great acting, great story and a tremendous ending. I thoroughly recommend this film.
