We got out to see Nacho Libre last night. It was all right. Not quite as funny as we had anticipated. Although, maybe we just weren't in a giddy enough mood. I'm thinking that it may be one of those movies that gets funnier the more you watch it. Having said that, it still had a lot of great moments. And Jack Black's facial expressions are just priceless. The movie certainly had the feel of Napoleon Dynamite. Very similar in visuals and soundtrack. It looks as though Jared Hess has is own style and niche already.
If you enjoyed Napoleon Dynamite, there is a good chance you'll enjoy this as well. And if you hate Napoleon, well, there is probably little hope you'd like this. Its a good time, I wouldn't say rush right out though. It's definitely a good one for watching on DVD.
We hit the town last night with some friends for dinner and a moobie. Got to see Clerks 2 . If you are at all a Kevin Smith fan, you will not be disappointed. Randal and Dante haven't missed a beat. Jay and Silent Bob are back in true Clerks form. I'm not even really sure what to say. Tons and tons of dirty, nasty, gutbustingly funny dialog. And even some quite serious moments getting down to the business of true friendship and hetero love. Rosario Dawson was absolutely fantastic. She just looked like she had a blast doing this film. And the addition of Elias (Trevor Fehrman) was amazing. I had never seem him in anything before, but his character was a riot. You can still enjoy this if you haven't seen the first one, but you'll miss the many many throwbacks to the first. As long as you've seen at least one of Kevin's film (sans Jersey Girl) and enjoyed it, chances are, you'll enjoy this too. Don't be the only loser in your circle of friends that hasn't seen it. Go. Watch. Now.
