In Stronger, which is based on a true story, Jake Gyllenhaal plays Jeff Bauman, a victim of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.

While struggling to recover from the devastating trauma, he helps the police track down the killers. Stronger is directed by David Gordon Green and also stars Tatiana Maslany, Miranda Richardson and Clancy Brown.

I want to and will watch this because Jake Gyllenhaal is super, and director David Gordon Green also directed one of my favourite films, Pineapple Express (2008).

Also, I kind of don’t want to see it because a) I just saw plenty in the trailer, and b) I don’t want to watch too many movies that make me cry a lot. I’m a sensitive soul, you understand, and tears can be draining.

Stronger Release Dates: September 22nd, 2017 (US)…

The trailer for Sandra Bullock’s new movie, Our Brand Is Crisis just landed.

David Gordon Green, a man I know of because he directed one of my favourite movies, Pineapple Express (2008) is in charge.

Really looking forward to this, mainly because of Bullock but also Zoe Kazan, an actress/writer I’m a fan of because she’s the reason for the existence of the movie Ruby Sparks (2012).

Anthony Mackie and Billy Bob Thornton also star.

Our Brand is Crisis Release Dates: October 30th 2015 (US)…

PINEAPPLE EXPRESS (2008): A Definite Seth Rogen Win

9 Comments

This is absolutely not a horror film, but who knew that Seth Rogen playing scared out of his mind could be so entertaining?

Coming from the same team that delivered comedy hits Superbad (2007), Knocked Up (2007) and most recently, This Is The End (2013); Pineapple Express is an action-packed comedy/bromance. One focused on two mid-twenties, weed-smoking males, played super well by Seth Rogen and James Franco.

There’s plenty to enjoy in this movie, including the dialogue, well-choreographed action sequences and a series of oddball characters; not to forget the undeniable beauty of James Franco’s Smile… 🙂 …something I hadn’t been aware of until this movie. Oh yes.

Last but absolutely not least, should you find yourself to be a fan of writer/director, Judd Apatow before watching this movie, then you know you’re in good hands.

Happy Film Loving,
