New Movies


There are many new movies that just came out in theaters. There are Baby Mama, Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?, Deception, Then She Found Me, Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay, and Made of Honor. In the last two weeks I have seen three out of these six movies.

The first movie I saw was Baby Mama. Tina Fey is her usual smart funny self as an uptight, unmarried, infertile executive, and Amy Poehler is flat out hilarious as the bleach blond trailer trash Fey hires to be her surrogate. This match up makes no sense, but it’s designed to bring out the best in two brilliant comedians. With the help of Steve Martin as Fey’s spaced out, pony tailed new age boss, this movie is very amusing.

Next, I saw Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay; the follow up to 2004’s Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle. It was the greatest movie made about the search for burgers, which soon heads into riskier territory. Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay picks up right where the last one left off, with the guys chasing Harold’s dream girl to Amsterdam. But on the plane ride, Kumar’s naughty habits make them terrorist suspects and land them in one of the world’s most notorious prisons. They quickly escape and set off on another string of outrageous events. My favorite part was when they go parachuting into President George W. Bush’s Texas ranch house.

Lastly, I saw Made of Honor. Patrick Demsey falls for his just engaged closest pal, Michelle Monaghan. She asks him to be her maid of honor in this romantic comedy. He agrees and tries to win her heart, it wasn’t so hard for a guy with “the best hair ever!’

There will be more new releases in the next couple of weeks. These include Sex And The City, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, What Happens in Vegas, Speed Racer and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
