The Switch

The Switch, formerly titled The Baster, is a romantic comedy-drama film starring Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman.The film is based on the short story "Baster" by Jeffrey Eugenides. An unmarried 40-year-old woman - Kassie Singleton (Jennifer Aniston) decides she wants to have a baby- turns to a turkey baster in order to become pregnant. Despite the objections of her neurotic best friend Wally (Jason Bateman), she chooses to do it alone, with the services of handsome and charming sperm donor Roland (Patrick Wilson). Wally has always had feelings for Kassie, but as his friend (Jeff Goldblum) points out, he missed his chance and she put him in the "friend zone".But things don't go to plan, as Wally gets so drunk at Kassie's "insemination party" that he accidentally spills Roland's semen and replaces it with his own. Seven years later, Kassie returns to New York along with precocious-but-neurotic son Sebastian (Thomas Robinson). Wally forms a bond with this loveable mini-version of himself, but the bad news is that Roland is in the picture too. It's a by-the-numbers movie, but the dots that get connected feel new. Aniston, playing a forward-thinking lonely girl, is at her most sexy and charming.The Switch is more Jason Bateman's movie than Aniston's, and he makes the most of what might have been a stock role. He plays Wally, the frowningly downbeat, way too sincere friend of Kassie (Aniston) — whom, of course, he's secretly in love with. The Switch squeezes fresh laughs out of what is, in essence, a rather startlingly post-Freudian, nature-trumps-nurture view of child development. Wally and Sebastian make a very funny and touchingly well-matched pair of saturnine brainiacs, with goggle-eyed Thomas Robinson playing Sebastian as a chip off the old grouch.The romantic-triangle plot, however, is standard issue: Wilson, looking more than ever like Paul Newman, does his jerk-lite variations, and Bateman winds his way toward the big moment when he declares his feelings to Aniston.The film could have used sharper scenes between Aniston and Bateman. The model here is too Woody Allen-ish, with Wally's neuroses and kvetching dominating their scenes without any real romantic spark. A romantic comedy needs at least some romance between its leads.There is more warmth between Wally and Kassie because of her motherhood and Wally's increasing interest in her son. And the ways the film finds to contrast father and son.Despite a virtually unplayable premise, "The Switch" overcomes this handicap to turn itself into a friendly, offbeat romantic comedy.

The Other Guys

The Other Guys is a 2010 action-comedy crime film directed and co-written by Adam McKay. The film stars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, and co-stars Dwayne Johnson, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Eva Mendes, Steve Coogan, and Ray Stevenson. The plot is about two mismatched New York City detectives seize an opportunity to step up like the city's top cops whom they idolize -- only things don't quite go as planned.
Detective Allen Gamble is a forensic accountant who's more interested in paperwork than hitting the streets. Detective Terry Hoitz is a tough guy who has been stuck with Allen as his partner ever since an unfortunate run-in with Derek Jeter. Detectives Danson (Dwayne Johnson) and Highsmith (Samuel L. Jackson) are pursuing a group of drug dealers in a Cadillac Escalade. After a brief firefight that results in the hood of Highsmith's Chevy Chevelle getting blown into the windshield, the two inadvertently crash into the side of a double decker bus. Danson drives it after the robbers and meticulously slingshots the trapped car out the other side of the bus (with Highsmith firing the whole time) and crashing into the Trump Tower, inexplicably surviving. The robbers manage to get away, until police backup quickly arrives and arrests them.
Detective Allen Gamble (Will Ferrell), is a forensic accountant who's more interested in paperwork than hitting the streets. Detective Terry Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg) has been stuck with Allen as his partner ever since shooting Derek Jeter during the 2003 World Series. Allen idolizes Danson and Highsmith, and both of them receive absolutely no respect from the other officers (especially Allen, who is tricked into firing his gun in the office and gets it confiscated, leaving him with a wooden practice gun). During a pursuit of a group of professional bank robbers, Danson and Highsmith die when they jump off a 20-story building into the sidewalk, inexplicably agreeing to aim for bushes that aren't there. Ferrell’s Allen Gamble likes his desk job. The pushing of paper and picking of nits satisfies his nerdy nature. Street crime doesn’t interest him. That’s precisely where his partner, Terry Hoitz (Wahlberg), wants to be. Hoitz is a blunt hothead with an itchy trigger finger. He screams at Gamble for depriving him of the action he so desperately wants. But once they do hit the streets and start cracking the case, they’re a disastrous misalliance. Expensive for New York, but easy summer entertainment for us.
When an opportunity arises for Terry and Allen (the "other guys") to step up, things don't quite go as planned. As things get worse, Allen and Terry are forced to split up. However, Allen still tries to solve the crime on his own even though Terry thinks it is a dead end. He finally gets credible evidence and earns his gun back. Allen finally convinces Terry to rejoin him and as things begin to go well, they both get shot (Terry taking one in the knee and Allen taking one in the shoulder.) However, the police finally come and rescue the two. They believe that the true heroes are the ones who make the world a better place, not the ones who appear in the newspaper or on TV.
The Other Guys is not only an odd-couple movie, but a wicked parody of badass-cop dramas, with all the shattered-glass, car-chase, bomb-exploding pomp glorified by all action pictures since Die Hard.It's the jokes that work best. And there are a ton of them. Most are chuckles, but there are enough gut-busters to make this one of the best comedies since The Hangover. It has the sweet, silly, and somewhat vulgar stamp of Team Ferrell, for sure—writer/director Adam McKay and co-writer Chris Henchy have worked with the SNL alum on various hits like Anchorman, and together launched FunnyorDie.com.“The Other Guys’’ is, at its core, a perceptive satire of the interpersonal boiling points in buddy-cop pictures. The movie works because it feels like its two stars have something they need to get off their chests. Ferrell is experimenting with restraint. His partner clowns around with rage.

Vampires Suck

Vampires Suck is a 2010 American vampire spoof film directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, starring Jenn Proske, Matt Lanter, Christopher N. Riggi, Ken Jeong, and Anneliese van der Pol.Vampires Suck has received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics, and it currently has an approval rating of 5% on Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus being "Witlessly broad and utterly devoid of laughs, Vampires Suck represents a slight step forward for the Friedberg-Seltzer team. Metacritic, which consists of a normalized rating from 0-100 on reviews from mainstream critics, calculated an average score of 20 based on 14 critics. Surprisingly, Vampires almost exclusively skewers the Twilight franchise with only passing swipes at other properties like Buffy. The story centers on sulky sourpuss Becca Crane (Jenn Proske), who returns to Sporks, Washington, to live with her sheriff dad. At school, she meets and slo-mo moons over pale, pompadoured Edward Sullen (Matt Lanter), part of the mysterious Sullen family of vampires.Becca, an anxious, non-vampire teen, is torn between two boys. Before she can choose, Becca must get around her controlling father, who embarrasses Becca by treating her like a child. Meanwhile, Becca's friends contend with their own romantic issues -- all of which collide at the prom. Also bitten by Becca's, um, charms is Jacob White (Chris Riggi)—instead of Jacob Black,-an oft-shirtless Native-American werewolf sporting a furry tail from his tight jeans. Becca's bloodsucker-lust soon attracts a dangerous clan of nomadic vampires who don't share the Sullens' ethical reservations about drinking human blood. Advisory: This film contains sexual content, violence, strong language and humor at the expense of your favorite celebrity.

The Expendables

Sylvester Stallone's old-tin-soldiers-of-action mercenary thriller, the director-star and his right-hand lug, Jason Statham, lead a band of commandos in an assault on the island fortress of a corrupt general. They show up and attack the general's men with fists, knives, and very big guns. The Expendables is that it's a completely low-tech, brute-force movie.We first meet the Expendables while rescuing the crew of a tanker overtaken by Somali pirates. The main group consists of Barney Ross (Stallone), his right hand man and knife-wielder supreme Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), combat specialist Yin Yang (Jet Li), demolitions expert Toll Road (Randy Couture), heavy weapons god Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) and mandatory loose cannon Gunnar Jenson (Dolph Lundgren). A group of mercenaries is hired to infiltrate a South American country and overthrow its ruthless dictator. Once the mission begins, the men realize things aren't quite as they appear, finding themselves caught in a dangerous web of deceit and betrayal. With their mission thwarted and an innocent life in danger, the men struggle with an even tougher challenge -- one that threatens to destroy this band of brothers. Barney Ross is a man with nothing to lose. Fearless and void of emotion, he is the leader, the sage and the strategist of this tight-knit band of men who live on the fringe. His only attachment is to his pickup truck, his seaplane and his team of loyal modern-day warriors. His is a true cynic who describes what he does as removing those hard to get at stains. The team behind him is made up of Lee Christmas, former SAS and a savant with anything that has a blade; Yin Yang, a master at close-quarter combat; Hale Caesar, who has known Barney for ten years and is a long-barrel weapons specialist; Toll Road, a skilled demolitions expert and considered the intellect of the group; and Gunnar Jensen, a combat veteran and an expert in precision sniping who struggles with his own demons. When the mysterious Church offers Barney a job no one else would take, Barney and his team embark on what appears to be a routine mission: overthrow General Gaza, the murderous dictator of the small island country of Vilena and end the years of death and destruction inflicted on its people. On a reconnaissance mission to Vilena, Barney and Christmas meet their contact Sandra, a local freedom-fighter with a dark secret. They also come to learn who their true enemy is: rogue ex-CIA operative James Monroe and his henchman Paine. When things go terribly wrong, Barney and Christmas are forced to leave Sandra behind, essentially giving her a death sentence. Haunted by this failure, Barney convinces the team to return to Vilena to rescue the hostage and finish the job he started. And to perhaps save a soul: his own. The action scenes are spectacular. Seeing this crew dispatch faceless hordes of soldiers is all kinds of hard-R awesome and never gets old. During the fabulous finale that sees Crews literally tearing the movie apart with his sub-nuclear hand bazooka while the rest of the group maneuvers a multitude of bomb blasts, The Expendables finally proves its point.

Soon the couple return, and the woman flier has aged, considerably.Tarzan refuses to return the couple and their party to where she had achieved her 'youth', so Jane decides to take them herself, based on what the flier remembered of the journey, and the bits and pieces she'd learned from Tarzan. The group reach a forbidden city, and a fountain that IS the 'Fountain of Youth'...and face the ire of the 'lost civilization' living there, who had trusted Tarzan to keep their location secret.
