I won't go into some elaborate speech about the pros and cons of Seth McFarland's character choices. Or the fact that this movie is clearly inspired, if not completely ripped off, from the popular TV Show "Wilfred." I will say that McFarland has a history of perfecting others ideas. And for that, I applaud his genius.
Mark Wahlberg's wish of bringing his childhood teddy bear to life. But, his super hot girlfriend (Mila Kunis) thinks it's time for the bear to move out. You'll see why.
Check out this hilarious, raw, and uncensored preview for the movie Ted. Scheduled to be released on July 13th. Enjoy!
If you are like most people who remember 2004 vividly, the only theatrical event that changed our comedic lives was Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.
It remained as the most quoted movie for years. The following Halloween, costume shops were running out of Ron Burgundy costumes faster than a meth addict could convert your TV into more meth.
Believe me, that's fast.
Since, then Will Ferrell has peppered us with some truly hilarious movies, but nothing that could hold a candle to Anchorman.
It was original. It was ridiculous. It was everything you'd want in an actual comedy. Ever 10 seconds, someone said something ridiculous or something else happened, and you were left crapping your shorts.
I think it has been long enough. we waited 8 patient years.
Watch the video below and get all reminiscent like I did. 2004 was just a crazy for me. Anchorman was the best thing that happened to me. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way.

To say a movie trailer sometimes doesn't do it justice is a gargantuan understatement in this case. Leaving the theater, I realized my face was hurting from laughing and my hands were hurting from clapping.
This updated version on the iconic 80's TV shows is a complete 180 from the original format of witty quips and cliche, after school special moments that tried to teach America's youth that a life of crime at any level would lead you right to jail.
This film did non of that.
From the ending of the opening credits, this movie had you laughing. It didn't let off until the ending credits began.
The entire theater was flying out of their seat laughing, people were clapping, and high-fiving each other. No one screening this film expected a level of raw vulgarity this script, which may have been written on a wet-nap at a Hooters in Chattanooga, that made The Hangover look like a PG-13 film.
If you are looking for a top-notch crime thriller, look elsewhere. And pull that stick out of your ass while you are at it. People that go into movies with false impressions should do their homework before being disappointed.
This film is not for the faint of heart. This film is not for people who can't handle a barrage of dick jokes. This film is not for people who can't just sit back and laugh.
Jump Street opens with a line from Nick Offerman (Parks & Recreations) that solidifies the direction the rest of the movie intended on going.
Rob Riggle and Ice Cube both deliver the laughs in their cliche roles of crappy criminal and perpetually angry Police Captain.
The stereotype jokes were on point and I can't say enough about how fluid and hilarious the dialog was. Each verbal or physical exchange was on point. Every character's high-school counterpart was very realistic in their delivery and ironic appeal.
To showcase how times have changed from the mid 2000's to 2012 was simply brilliant. They pulled off the nuances of today's youth with accuracy and realistic reaction.
Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill are a dynamite duo! They feed off each others strengths and weaknesses like seasoned comedy vets. It's great to see Tatum in a roll that doesn't cause him to show off his abs. While Jonah Hill's weight loss becomes less distracting as the film goes on and you see how physical the role really was.
Let's face it, anyone who was a fan of Jonah Hill pre-weight-loss was worried he would not be nearly as funny after getting all skinny-miny on us. Remember Ron Lester from Varsity Blues? He played 'Billy Bob' and weighed close to 500 lbs. After shedding a tremendous amount of weight, he was rarely seen in movies again.
Now, this is how all comedies should be. Funny, fast paced, devastatingly raw, and most of all, hilarious. The fact that it's only February leaves me to wonder what movie could possibly come close to touching this amazing film.
I don't see one on the horizon, that's for sure. If you plan on going to see it 21 Jump Street, get ready for one hell of an ab workout.
There is one plot twist near the end that will put a huge smile on your face. I can promise you that.
So, I find myself here on a gloriously boring Wednesday morning, in the middle of another mundane week here in Central Florida. I find myself preparing for the continuation of this mind-numbingly tedious 7-day procession, asking myself, “just what the hell do I have to look forward to this weekend?” The answer to that question is the same its been for the last ten years I’ve lived ‘round these parts...not a damn thing. That is, however, until I remembered that the most badass thing in the history of badassedness is about to hit theaters in T-minus just a couple of days. Act of Valor! A movie made with real guns...real explosions...and, I’ll be damned, real Navy SEALs! Not Charlie Sheen, my friends, real...effing...SEALs! Now, the acting in this film promises to be of some truly questionable quality, but seriously, if your anything like me (reasonably young, immature, obsessive about tactical military shit and movie explosions) then the focus of this movie will be right were you want it...mind blowing action! As you can probably tell, I’m excited as the dickens about this movie, as it represents everything just about all young American men dream about, but are too damn pu...I mean, scared to actually try to achieve (and no, Modern Warfare doesn’t count). With all that said, I’ll definitely be at the earliest showing I can get myself to, and will bring a most compelling review of what promises to be the greatest military themed film known to man! See the trailer below...
Yeah...pretty badass right? Thought so.
 Gina Carano If you have turned on a television within the past two weeks, you have more than likely caught a preview for Steven Soderbergh's latest action flick Haywire.
You'll see the future ex-wife of the jerk who run's this site, beating the crap out of anyone who gets in her way. Her name is Gina Carano and anyone who follows MMA knows her name.
She's one of the top female MMA competitors and she's also drop dead gorgeous.
Capitalizing on the fact that there are no formidable female action stars would could pull of a convincing contract killer, Steven Soderbergh asked Carano to star in his film Haywire. For which, she immediately agreed to.
When Soderbergh makes a film, he goes big. Having built a history of gritty action, drama, and espionage films, he called pulled out all the stops for Carano's first role.
That says a lot about the faith he had in her ability to sell the image and deliver a role worthy of such co-stars as Ewan McGregor, Michael Fassbender, Antonio Banderas, Michael Douglas and a few others.
Judging by the previews, this movie looks promising. Rotten Tomatoes reviews show that even the bad reviews mention very interesting aspects of the film. Like the fact that the fight-scenes are incredible, and they are non-stop. Which is what anyone going to see this movie should be looking for.
If you are not a fan of films that showcase incredible levels of hand-to-hand combat and violence in general, don't go see it. If you're looking for the next (insert whatever you think is the best love story you've ever seen) you're clearly mistaken.
This is where film reviews usually lose the point and the target audience may not get to enjoy a movie made just for them, based on the advice of someone who should not judge films they are not fans of.
Chances are if Grandpa fought in Vietnam, he's not going to be a fan of "The Notebook" so don't base your judgement solely on him.
Give films a chance. Make a decision for yourself. If a film seems appealing, watch it. Everyone interprets movies uniquely. If you have a history of just not liking any movie, save your money and stop going. All you do is spread that negativity and prevent others from going based on your bias. At some point you have to accept it is not the movies, it is you.
Objectivity in film critiquing is out the window with thousands of film critics flooding the web with their own opinions, which are just that. Opinions.
In this section, I assure you we are going to review films that some will like and some will hate. There's no way to guarantee which movies will please everyone. If that was the case, we wouldn't offer this opinion at all because you can't make everyone happy.
So, we'll shut up now and let you enjoy the prettiest face in Mixed Martial Arts discuss the making of Haywire.
