To say I was hype for this movie is an understatement and I must say I was......disappointed. I knew the movie would be a little ridiculous because like come on getting into the same situation AGAIN. But, what I did not expect was for them not to stray away from the original at all. In this sequel Stu (Ed Helms) is getting married to Lauren (Jamie Chung) whose father is not very fond of Stu kinda like how Melissa, his girlfriend in the first one, was not very fond of him. The wolfpack is back and they decide to have one little harmless drink before they call it a night and this is where the madness begins. They wake up not knowing wtf happened last night with Teddie (Mason Lee) Lauren's brother is missing. They also wake up to find a monkey and Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong). From here they're on a mission to piece together what happened last night so they can find Teddie before its too late. I will admit there are some pretty big laughs in this one but this one is not the original. The original was so quotable and different. This movie is a carbon copy of the orginal and I really don't get why it was made. The characters really don't go anywhere! Alan (Zach Galifianakis) is more retarded in this one than the last one, I think its a good thing since he does provide us with most of the laughs in the movie but Stu who you thought became a man at the end of the first one is getting bitched by his father in law! Another thing is they amped up Leslie Chow's role, who I thought should't have been in the movie because a lot of what happened in the first one was funny because of the wow and fun new characters. This one just tries to make bank on the first one. The new characters in this movie also blow. For example: Paul Giamatti's character who I was kind of hype for was not funny at all and they found a way to get Eddie from the first one to play a different character in this one. What happens is also very predictable since it follows the same exact formula the first one went by. So, you do not get the same surprise the first one had. I think this movie gets a lot of laughs since people eat raunchy comedies up and I do too, but, considering how amazing the first one was, this movie is shit. Do not see this movie if you value the first ones memory.

Tom Hardy Will Break You
Today, the first official image of Tom Hardy (Inception, Bronson) as Bane in Christopher Nolan's third installment in the Batman franchise, the Dark Knight Rises, dropped. I must say he looks fucking sick. I really did not know what to expect since Bane is larger than life character in the comics and I just did not know how he would look or fit in Christopher Nolan's dipped in reality Batman universe. But, after taking a gander at this photo, I am literally counting the seconds till July 20th 2012. From the cast announcements to the locations, I think this will probably be the biggest superhero movie every, fuck an Avengers. It is hard to top what was done in the Dark Knight and to find a villain as iconic as Heath Ledger's Joker but I think Chris Nolan accepted that challenge and is looking to wow audiences once again. July 20th kiddies, remember the date.

Fuck Bill O' Reilly!
So, I copped Tyler, The Creator's sophomore outing "Goblin" this morning before I went off to the hell that is Kingsborough Community College. And, I must say....This shit is the BOMB! You know I liked his first album "Bastard" but I fucking love "Goblin." I have been bumping it all day. He kicks off this epic with the dopest album intro since Raekwon's Striving For Perfection on that "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx." The production on this album is fucking ridiculous. All the tracks are fucking dope but there is one song I was not feeling too much which is "Untitled 63" but outside of that this album is GOLD. You are probably asking yourself "why is Chris writing the most general review ever?" Well, its because I want you to go out and listen to this for yourself. Be sure to listen to it from beginning to end, this album plays out like a movie. So, to get the real experience, listen to the whole thing.
I Do It- Big Sean
I can't find a good video with the track, this is the best I can do. I just wanted to let you gyus know this single dropped today on Itunes and you should definitely check it out! Big Sean always delivers and this beat caters to his unique flow and listen in for some dope punch lines and references. You know how the west side repper does it.. B..I...G.

The Fast and The Ridiculously Awesome
The fifth installment of the "Fast" franchise is by far the best entry in the series. I am gonna be honest, I walked into this movie thinking it would suck ass because I just hate how the franchise has drifted so far away from what made the original such a classic. That being said, I don't know what the fuck I was thinking. This movie plays out like an 80s action movie, they just said "fuck development, where da C4 at?" And I love that approach. The movie picks off right where the last one ended with Brian (Paul Walker) and Mia (Jordana Brewster) breaking Dom (Vin Diesel) out of jail. Fast Forward a couple months, with these guys on the most wanted list and with their backs against the wall they take a shady job in Brazil and when all hell breaks loose 3 DEA agents are killed and they are pinned on them. This does not sit with The US of A, they send in there best hunter Hobbs (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson). But, Hobbs is the least of the crews problems they got a Rio Drug kingpin on there ass after the job that went sour. Now, with there backs against the wall AGAIN the guys decide to call in some old friends (Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Sung Kang, Gal Godot, Tego Calderon, and Don Omar) to pull one last job and disappear forever. This movie is super fucking hardcore. There is literally a 2 minute intermission between every action sequence. Again, I thought it being ridiculous would be its biggest fault, but boy, was I wrong. Hobbs is by far the best character in this movie like come on, its The Rock. He is a man on a mission and FUCK is this guy built. Hobbs is so badass he doesn't own any shirts, he just has under armour's which he even wears while doing paper work. I was hoping to see a Rock Bottom but that is literally my only complaint. The fight between Dom and Hobbs is worth the price of admission itself. In conclusion, I would like to say this is definitely the right way to kick off the summer of 2011 and if your looking for something to watch cough up the 12.50 to see this flick. I will see you guys this weekend when I finally get my eyeballs around Thor.
