No! This isn't about waking up next to some random co-worker the morning after your annual staff christmas party. Ladies, I'm looking at you? December 15, 2009 will forever be known as the day when Todd Philip's "The Hangover" & Quentin Tarantino's "Inglorious Basterds" got together, drank too much "spiked" eggnog and hooked up to create the most unholy of unions known as the "Inglorious Hangover." A day when 2 of the most awesomest ( that's right, I just made up a new word, look it up, I dare you) movies of 2009, in this writer's opinion, come out on Blu-Ray & DVD. I, "For Sheezy", recommend that anyone and everyone get out there and either rent/buy these 2 movies right away!
For those of you that haven't even heard of these movies, I say one thing: "Who are you?" Here's a quick recap. The Hangover from director Todd Philips, who brought us classic comedies the likes of "Road Trip" and "Old School", is a comedy about a bunch of guys going to Las Vegas for a bachelor party. Sounds like a pretty basic premise for a comedy that's already been done many times before (Very Bad Things anyone?) So what makes this one an instant classic? It's a combination of a great cast: Ed Helms a.k.a. Andy Bernard from The Office (this guy needs his own show) , Zack Galifinakis is one of the funniest guys most people never knew existed but now that's all changed & Bradley Cooper is bar none a future leading man in Hollywood, a good script and a refreshing take on an old formula... oh and how can I forget: MIKE TYSON!!!!
Inglorious Basterds is Quentin "I dare you to say WHAT one more godamn time" Tarantino's masterpiece. A culmination that started with Reservoir Dogs 17 years ago. QT has one-upped himself with each new movie he puts out there. Basterds is a remake,in name only, about a bunch of Jewish-American Soldiers dropped behind enemy lines in Nazi-Occupied France to kill as many NAZIS as possible. What surprised this Basterd the most about this film is that when you think you have QT pegged on what type of director he is and what type movie he's making, he throws your sense into a pound of Bolivian blow and mindf**ks you like no ones business. Oh and did I forget to mention that Brad "Tyler Durden" Pitt stars in this film?
So to recap: we have Booze, Las Vegas, Ladies Nazis, France, Brad Pitt, Jews, Mike Tyson & Tigers OH MY! What more can you ask for during the holidays? Nothing, that's what. Sound Good? YES SIR!!!!!!
