This isn't a military film at all, it's just a satire with a military background. It's so funny because of the characters and how they act completely different from how you'd expect a blood-drenched doctor in the Korean War to act. While they're not sawing off limbs and clamping arteries, they're off on their own trying to keep their sanity by using a sense of humor in practical jokes.



The characters are cold-hearted in an enjoyable sense and M*A*S*H is well written enough to turn something that could be portrayed as shocking in another movie in an average setting to comical in a war-like setting. I'd even be willing to say that the comic timing is so well done that it resembles the Marx Brothers in certain parts. That's why the movie works so well though, and that's what the movie's about. Characters that are converting their suffering to laughter and inflicting it on others they would probably love to convert.

The best way to describe this movie is that it's a step down from Napolean Dynamite. The writing is a little less funny, the characters less interesting, and the ending doesn't wrap the movie up as well. That isn't to say that it's a bad movie, but it's so similar to Napolean Dynamite that I can't help but compare the two. About a cook (Jack Black) working in a church with a dream to become the greatest wrestler ever. Wrestling is a sin, however, so he has to be secretive about it. He stinks at wrestling, but since him and his tag team partner (Cesar Gonzalez) are popular characters, he still gets paid to lose. The movie starts off quirky with Jack Black playing a fiarly strange character, and then picks up when he joins hands with his tag team partner. The comedy is short-lived after that though, with the only funny moments circling around Black getting kicked around from time to time. You can see the movie slowly get less and less funny as time goes on, and the ending becomes more, and more obvious. Acting is really what gives the movie life, as it's the interesting characters and how they react to things that bring the laughs. "Nacho Libre" is certainly good for some laughs and keeps you at least smiling along most of the way, but it isn't funny enough or quirky enough to hit the high notes "Napolean Dynamite" succeeded with.

Where to start? These next few days I'm gonna be out of the house for probably a good 3/4 of the time which means I'm not gonna be here for all of that time. One of my best friends is going away in a week and another one is coming back lol. So, I'm gonna be gone with them for the majority of these next few days. Also, I've been unfortunate enough to be trapped in the house for the last few days so I'm getting sick of staying in here.

I did, however, see Capote today and I really liked it. It's a great movie about a writer trying to make what he thinks will be one of the greatest non-fiction stories ever made. It's great, and I think it's one of those movies anybody can enjoy. So... again........ I have to change my top ten of 2005. I'm getting lazy with this stupid list because I'm seeing new movies every day and have to change it almost weekly now. So, I'm just gonna wait until I feel content with it and then post the list. I know you've all been waiting on it. ¬_¬

So, yeah. Not going to be here and Capote is great. Come to think of it, it's not much to say. I guess I just wanted to say something I've been in this house for too long.

Hey, it's my friggin journal, I can give myself a little self-praising. :P

Lost, 24, House, South Park, Invasion, The Sopranos, Big Love, The Office, American Idol, especially. Well scratch off South Park. These are the shows that offer what is called a good dose of escapism. Fun entertainment to give you a break from reality. Everyone needs a break. But since when did Fantasy completely take over Reality? No, "reality Tv" is not reality. Just something I've noticed, the News has become so much more standoffish nowadays and Tv Corporations pour almost all of their money into entertainment. I know the tube isn't the only source of the news, but let's face it, it's what the majority of people follow. And the news is important. Yeah, it's boring, but it's important. Things are going on all over the place but people don't even care or get out of bed for it unless it's being spoken by Charles Gibson or Katie Couric. Nobody even watches CNN.

So, why does the news fall to second behind entertainment? Shouldn't the news be the most important thing showed on television? I mean, when was the last time people were really glued to the tube for the news? I suppose that would be when we caught Saddam Hussein. But that was a long time ago. And there are still important things happening. Most of which revolves around Iran right now. But the American public will not pay attention or even listen to these things until it breaks into their entertainment! It's only when the news breaks into the scheduling of entertainment that people listen. Maybe there should be more of that going on. I mean, more people voted on American Idol than the election of our president. How stupid are we? We'd rather vote for a singer than the leader of a world power?! That's insanity!

But just imagine what would happen if news broke out into American Idol. THEN people would be listening. Let me not stray from the point which is that the news is much more important than trivial shows and there should be a lot more of it and a lot more of people paying attention to it. Most people don't read books or the newspaper or internet articles. Most people watch the bloody tube for all their info. Imagine what would happen if the Tv disappeared off the face of the Earth? All of the sudden the news would matter a lot more. I remember not too long ago a hacker from Britain with limited experience hacked into the Pentagon looking for evidence of aliens. He was in our security system for a year and cost millions of dollars worth of damage. He's gonna be in prison his whole life, but none of this has been reported. How can that NOT get reported? I don't even think CNN covered it.

Oh also, I just had the best ice cream ever. Chocolate Peanut Butter by Haagen Dazs. Hmmm... so good...

I stole that title from an article name because it sounded so cool. :)

Anyways, in a town in Northern Canada, a high school teacher has been handed a reprimand for refusing orders from supervisors. He has stirred us a lot of tension with the community, parents, and employees. His offense?

He taught his students the theory of evolution.

Unbelievable... I honestly can't believe that there are so many people nowadays that reject evolution. Seriously, what kind of teacher isn't allowed to teach his students? If the students truly wish to remain ignorant than they can just not pay attention. It's science class so there's a lot of that anyways.

Look, we came from apes. That's it. If you don't believe that, then tough. At least let your children be taught it.

I'm sorry, but I got into sort of a fight with a close minded religious person today. I thought it would be a good idea to forceably beat the information into his head.

For at least a couple weeks. Maybe the whole summer. So Long. Oh also, the Pepsi+Mentos thing works.

I'd like to say that, aside from some script problems and lack of strong delevopment, this movie works as good entertainment. The special effects are obviously very good, and the ending leaves you thinking. For the most part, if you enjoyed the first two movies, you'll enjoy X-Men 3. The direction and especially script, however, is rushed. I'm not gonna side step that, it was rushed. Followers of the comic book might not enjoy it because it does not follow the storyline of the comics at all.



Acting is pretty spot-on. In a super hero flick, that falls far behind to the most important aspect: storyline. It's only real problem is that it doesn't follow the comic book story well and lacks some character development. Most of all super hero flicks will generally lack character development anyways (Batman Begins an exception). However, it is a good movie in its own rights. One that entertains and keeps your interests up until the conclusion.
