I’m still on my movies in the summer kick and looking forward to taking in Mission Impossible. Perhaps looking forward is a bit much. I’m doing as expected, much as I will do with Fantastic 4 but with much less hope that the film is going to turn out okay. One film that did turn out okay was Trainwreck. Amy Schumer plays a chick who is a bit of a mess–not in terms of her out there sexuality but mores because of her being a total asshole. Yep, she’s an ass and totally out there about it. This is an important aspect of the story because this isn’t about the really sweet and wonderful girl getting the dude. This is about real people who aren’t perfect getting something that works for them.
It is also crazy funny.
Without giving too much away, John Cena plays a character that I couldn’t stop laughing about. He stole most of the scenes he was in. My favorite was the movie theater scene. I’m in love with the line, ‘You ain’t about that life’–once you see it you’ll understand.
I’m about done with this ten minute stretch, much like the boys are about done with the summer. School starts in the morning and I’m looking forward to having a few extra moments to myself.
