Produced by Hughes, innit? And directed by the other double H, Howard Hawks, who was also at the helm of my current favorite thing to watch 15 minutes of before passing out drunk on a Saturday night, Bringing Up Baby.
Anyway, I had forgotten about this thread, and I love it.
Hall Pass (2011)
The Rub - The Farrelly Brothers try to live down Fever Pitch and The Heartbreak Kid by paying lip service to the idea that monogamy isn't for everyone, but get bored and fill up the slack with diarrhea farts.
The Tug - Outside of 2 or 3 scenes (most notably the Stephen Merchant-centric coda), a disheartening mess. Jenna Fischer has the on-screen charisma of a bale of wet hay.
Tropical Malady (2004)
Pre-Tiger - A Thai soldier begins a tentative romance with a local village boy, which seems to be going well...
Post-Tiger - ...until halfway through, when the film more or less resets, and the soldier is now hunting his would-be lover through the jungle, said lover now being some sort of ghostly tiger spirit.
I Saw The Devil (2010)
Hrmmm - Korean director Kim Ji-Woon wonders: could the quest for revenge cause a person to do some fucked up shit? Uh...dude, have you seen any of the movies your countrymen have been making for the last decade?
DUH - Yep, it does. It just takes an hour longer than it should as the pointless butcherings pile up. If Choi Min-Sik weren't such fun to watch, I might have left this one early.
i'm 2 much for these niggas and 3 much for these hos
