Day 123 - The Wedding Ringer (American)


A man with no friends is about to get married, so he decides to lie to his soon-to-be wife and creates a fake best friend. After meeting professional wedding best man his lie turns into a better lie as he hires the man to pose as the fake friend he crafted. 

The film could have been so much more, the cast was great, but I felt like the script was lacking. It wasn't all that funny, it had a few good moments but besides that it was a little dull. I do happen to enjoy all the characters present in the film.  The jokes fall flat and the timing is a little weak. Everything feels a little too staged, there was a little chemistry between the two leads but it was not enough to save this comedy failure. 

1/5

Little info

The director stated that there might be a possible sequel. Let's hope not....

Day 136 - Casa Amor: Exclusive for Ladies (Korean)



Bo-hee (Jo Yeo-jeong) is a wife, mother, and a successful marketing executive. Sadly, her husband leaves her because they haven't had sex in more than a year and she rarely has time for her family. It gets worse when she is fired from her job. Eventually,  Bo-hee makes a deal with Oh Nan-hee(Clara), the local sex expert who runs an adult toy store. 

This is a very funny movie which a very interesting subject matter. Despite what the title says, this film can be watched by men and it should be. They focus more on the female side which is understandable but what is shown is quite revealing. Not in the nudity aspect but in the relationship aspect. Despite the comedy, it does have a serious subject matter that appears to be very realistic as I'm sure many couples have the kind of problems that are shown in the film. Plus we have the lovely Clara to teach us more about sex and that is very interesting in itself. Can't forget to mention Jo Yeo-jeong who is really good in this film. I think it was probably her best film role and I hope to be able to see her do more work.

3/5

Day 135 continued - Secrets of Underground London



This documentary was about what is under London, this is more of a history documentary. I mean that it showcases the history of important events like what occurred during the bombing of England during WWII. It features one of the rooms that Winston Churchhill used as the war was going on. If you are interested in that kind of history, then this is the documentary for you.

2/5

Day 135 - Crated (American-documentary)

Crafted is a documentary by Morgan Spurlock (Super Size me). It's a short documentary (less than an hour), that features several creative people. The documentary is very interesting, it showcases very interesting kind of art. From knife-makers to pottery makers in Japan. It may not be the best documentary, but it's interesting to say the least.

2.6/5

Day 134 continued - After Innocence (American - Documentary)





Do you ever wonder what happens to convicted criminals who were proven innocent? Then this is the documentary that you need to watch.



After Innocence is a 2005 documentary that follows the life of several people who were found innocent after spending several years in prison. The film shows that there is really no support for the men after they are released. Their records still show the crimes that were committed for. They receive no benefits from the government despite the fact that most of them spent over 10 years in prison for a crime they didn't commit.
It's not the best documentary, but it serves its purpose. This documentary shows you a different world that most people don't even think about.


2.5/5

Day 134 - National Lampoon's Vacation


The Griswold family decides to visit The Walley World Theme Park,  but terrible things happen to the family. 


The film was directed by Harold Ramis and stars Chevy Chase. The film still holds up to this day, the comedy is present and everyone is on the top of their game. Chevy Chase is very funny in the film especially the last half of the film as his characters kind of loses his mind after all the horrible stuff that has happened to him and his family. I'm sure a lot of fathers even to this day can relate to Chevy Chase's character. I will keep this short and sweet. This is an older movie (1983) but its still good. 

3.4/5
