Movie Review: "Liberal Arts"
A movie starring one of my favorite sitcom actors and Zac Efron as a beanie-wearing stoner sidekick?! Count me in. This film is Radnor’s baby- and while I wasn’t bothered by his performance, during the whole movie I kept wondering when he was going to stop acting like Ted and start acting like the lead role “Jessie”. Sadly, it never happened. It wasn’t atrocious-by any means- it just wasn’t anything radically new for Radnor. Luckily, I think we might have finally found the most talented member of the Olsen family, and I can’t wait to see Elizabeth does next.
Rating: 7/10

“Funny funny, raunchy raunchy, Marky-mark and Mila…
Movie Review: "Ted"
…Them other teddy bears can’t talk so I don’t even botha” (It helps if you sing that as Kreayshawn’s “Gucci Gucci”). Don’t let my sub-par parody of a rap song deter you- the humor is this film is much more conducive to actually making people laugh. It might seem too soon to say this, but I can‘t hold it in any longer: I love Ted. I love him so much, I want my own Ted. Other than that, Mark Wahlberg is hilarious, lovable, and hot, and Mila Kunis gets more attractive by the minute-someone make her stop.

Ryan Gosling is Suffocating Underneath a Pile of Women?!
Movie Review: Crazy, Stupid Love
Rating: 9/10"Crazy, Stupid Love"
Directed by Glen Ficarra and John Requa
Written by Dan Fogelman
2011
I originally wrote off
this film before seeing it as a romantic comedy with a few take-away one
liners. As it turns out, the joke was on me. Punctuated by a shocking yet
hilarious plot-twist from left field, this film is pure entertainment. Steve
Carell warms your heart with his good-intentioned (though usually flawed) plans
to reunite with Julianne Moore, his gracefully-aging better half. Kudos to
Mindy Marin for casting Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as love interests- there’s
nothing I to see more than sexiest man alive in love the most adorable woman to
ever exist.
