Maybe Watch This: Wild Cherry

Movie Poster for Wild Cherry
Tonight began much like any other night, I was bored and browsing through a long list of movies that did not seem very interesting when I came upon one that caught my eye. So I opened it and read the description about what this strangely titled movie I had never heard. Then, when all of the details satisfied my tastes in some manner or another, I decided to start watching it. 

What I learned from the description was this movie is about three female high schoolers that are apparently on some sort of list to have sex and they discover the list. So then these girls decide to seek revenge against the main character's boyfriend, because he should not be doing something so sinister as helping the main character get laid. Oh yeah, and Rob Schneider is in this movie as the dad. But what that description forgot to tell me was that the movie I was about to watch was one of those very awkward ones, a film that puts even the viewers into their own little place as they wonder what they are watching and why they cannot turn away. If that alone does not give any idea to what Wild Cherry is about, here is my full review!

Maybe Watch This: 21 Jump Street

21 Jump Street Movie Poster
I cannot get to sleep tonight, which is maybe because I took a two hour nap earlier. At any rate, since my insomnia is keeping me up I decided to watch a movie. So I picked the one that has been bugging me for a while, 21 Jump Street. To explain how this movie has been bugging me, on Comcast they keep running an ad for the movie on their On Demand service, stay on the screen looking for a movie long enough and you'll see how annoying it gets. Anyway, I thought you should maybe watch it.

21 Jump Street [2012]
So this is just like any other typical movie you have seen about officers of the law going under-cover in a high school to find out who is selling drugs. Basically they both were strangely different in high school, the extremes of nerd and geek, and they in general did not get along. Then they get out of high school and become friends for one reason or another, so it should lead to a funny but very generalized comedy. And to that effect, that is exactly what this movie is, a funny but very generalized comedy.
