Film 145/365, Day 156/365 – Role Models

Fantastically brilliant comedy with more stand alone moments than I’ve seen in one film before.  On top of that it is a real feel good film with an excellent final scene.  There are too many hilarious characters to name them all.  The relationship between Danny and Wheeler and Jane Lynch’s character is exceptional and Christoper Mintz-Plasse is unbelievable.  Great film packed full of non stop laughs.

Synopsis:  Danny and Wheeler work for an energy drink company and go school to school giving presentations on their energy drinks.  When Danny is dumped by his girlfriend, just as tries to propose to her, they go on rampage and now face either jail or to become mentors for children.  Not sure who's being punished here!

Film 21/365, Day 23/365 – Slither

Deer hunting season has just begun, but a small meteor crashes into the nearby woods and will very much change the focus of the hunt. Local nobody Grant Grant, that is his name, finds the meteor and a strange pick blob like creature. The creature shoots a dart into Grant and takes over his brain. The creature sets about its plan of destroying all life on earth with the help of Grant’s body and the others that he claims with the help of its small pink worm-like offspring!

Slither is hilarious and very well done. The characters are as believable as they come, the hero even falls over a fence as he tries to jump over it. It’s a very simple plot, but then you’ll be here for the parasytic worm monsters, the zombies that they turn the people into, oh and you won’t believe where the worms came from! Now you’ve got to watch it to find out.
