Week 2: Dumb and Dumber

Lloyd and Harry. One's dumb, the other's dumber. You pick which. Jim Carrey (Lloyd) and Jeff Daniels (Harry) deliver a delirious no-brainer as they hit the road to return a misplaced briefcase to its owner (Lauren Holly). The fellas don't know the case is crammed with ransom money. Maybe that's why smashmouth lowlifes are trailing them, you think? Best to leave the thinking aside as the boys and the filmmaking brothers Farrelly (There's Something About Mary) invent something really dumb... and really, really funny.

This week's movie was chosen by Sean.

"The Farrally brothers craft an expertly chilling view into a pre 9/11 America in which normal citizens are allowed to leave luggage unattended in the airport. The movie takes a gruesome turn when the main characters Harry and Lloyd assassinate their gas man with a chemical agent. Once again Janeane Garofalo steals the show when she 'pinches a lemon'."

"Dumb and Dumber is a hilarious insight into the mind of the Farrelly brothers. The movie was both brilliant and majestic similar to the Icelandic Snow Owl. Deciding who was funnier between Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels is like deciding when to give up your extra set of gloves. Both craft a genuine sense of stupidity that doesn’t eclipse the law of never going full retard."

"It’s amazing how well the movie holds up. It’s full of unforgettable moments, unless you haven’t seen the movie in 10+ years.  Just when you thought the movie selections couldn’t be any dumber – it just goes and completely redeems itself."

"I’m not yet movie savvy enough to know whether or not this is the epicenter of the series-of-coincidence movies, you know… the kind where the bad guy says 'Clearly we underestimated who we’re dealing with' then a smash-cut to the protagonist doing something retarded.  Even if it isn’t, we have Dumb and Dumber to thank for movies like Dude Where’s My Car and Zoolander. Harry and Lloyd deliver a couple hours of laughs with a rapist’s wit."

"This movie was successful in making me feel pretty smart. It’s surprising how well it stands up all these years later. I would say it’s worth watching but only once about every decade."

Week 1: Southland Tales

LOS ANGELES, 2008. Southland Tales is a darkly comic, fururistic epic set over the course of three days as the city stands on the brink of social, economic and environmental disaster, in an America under the thumb of the sinister all-seeing agency US-Ident. A large ensemble cast of characters includes Boxer Santaros (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson), an action star stricken with amnesia, Krysta Now (Sarah Michelle Gellar), a porn star with her own reality TV project, and Roland Taverner (Seann William Scott), a cop who holds the key to a vast conspiracy. Time travel, terrorism, and the End of the World collide with apocalyptic results in Southland Tales, the dazzling new film from the writer / director of Donnie Darko.


This week's movie was chosen by Drew.

 "Southland Tales opens the 25 week gauntlet of movie night with a bang. Blending time travel and the apocalypse like two cars crashing into each other. Justin Timberlake narrates the movie like a pimp, rivaled only by Morgan Freeman in Shawshank Redemption. Dwayne Johnson and Sarah Michelle Gellar play star-crossed lovers in a similar fashion to Romeo and Juliet, only with more cock chugging. While not family friendly, it is a movie I would share with my friends and family."

"It was 0.000000006% better than I expected, Janene Garafalo stole every scene she was in.  I am disappointed the movie spent so much time following Krysta Now and not enough time following Krysta Later."

"Ok, so the Sicilian invents a perpetual momentum engine using the ocean. It creates liquid energy that’s a drug. Time travel. The Rock and Stiffler go through a portal to the fourth dimension and two of each come out the other side. JT narrates and rocks the red karma. (He got FF’d by Stiffler #1 and now he’s a gov’t sniper post-plastic surgeries) Buffy’s a whacked out porn star. I’m glad I watched this movie. It’s a reminder (NAY - an announcement) that linear, clearly portrayed movies are a luxury, not a right. Donnie Darko 2 ftw."

"The movie was a little hard to follow but a shirtless Dwayne Johnson mostly made up for it. So just based on Dwayne Johnson’s chest I would give it..."
