Went to the screening of This is the End last night and I loved it, if you are a fan of those guys and Apatow comedies you'll enjoy it too.
Anyone seen 10 Years?
Strictly about a high school reunion. I remember seeing a preview for it in theaters what seemed like five years ago, but it just came out in 2011.
Channing Tatum, his real wife, Rosario Dawson, Justin Long, the dude that is about to play the lead role in Llewyn Davis, Anthony Mackie, the other dude from We Are Marshall, Aubrey Plaza, Kate Mara, Ari Graynor, Chris Pratt, Street from Friday Night Lights, the dude that isn't Zuckerberg in The Social Network, Office Space dude, Aaron Yoo...
Nice little flick. Nothing groundbreaking, but a decent character study/dialogue (albeit predictable) kind of movie. Mostly just a fun cast.
My biggest takeaway was either how much I love Justin Long, or the Llewyn Davis cat. Feel like he's going to be a star. He's playing Pablo Escobar in a biopic soon, too.

Roger Ebert (1942-2013) was the world’s most respected and celebrated film critic. I can’t possibly do justice to his legendary career in the movies. For that, I recommend this beautiful obituary from The Chicago Sun-Times, the newspaper Ebert worked for since 1967.
To be honest, up until about four years ago I only knew Ebert from seeing his name on movie posters with the famous “Two thumbs up” tagline. His television shows and film reviews never appeared in Australia (that I know of), so he was always just the ‘movie review guy’ to me.
That was until I found his blog. After Ebert was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2002 he underwent several surgeries which left him without a lower jaw or the ability to speak. He found solace on the internet, where he applied his Pulitzer-prize writing skills to the world of blogging. His blog, Roger Ebert’s Journal, took the place of the voice that he had tragically lost and will go down as one of the best-written blogs the internet has ever seen. I don’t remember how I stumbled upon it, but it quickly became one of my favourites. Some of his best articles include his takedown of the pro-creationist film Expelled, where Ebert beautifully argues the case for evolution, his infamous post on why video games can never be art (I strongly disagree with him on that topic) and his past battles with alcoholism (there are literally hundreds of more fantastic posts you can read in the archives). In 2010, Ebert won the Webby award for person of the year “for his contributions to the craft of online writing and journalism” and making the internet “a more thoughtful, engaging and self-aware environment.”
This quote was taken from Ebert’s autobiography Life Itself, which is being turned into a documentary produced by Martin Scorsese.
One of my favorite lines in that movie is:Watching Friday for the first time.
