Not to be confused with Heat, which is probably the greatest action movie ever made.
So this weekend, after embarrassingly not realising I had to pay to do so, I rented four films from the library. I watched three of them yesterday (I WAS BORED, OKAY?).
First watch was The Campaign, which for those who don't know is a political satire starring Will Ferrell and Zack Galfiankf... Galipoli... Galifanfkae... the guy from The Hangover. It's just not very funny, there's not much to it, it's not especially well written and there's no legitimately skewering satirical moments in it, which is bizarre because the cast is INSANELY good, Brian Cox, John Lithgow, Dan Ackroyd and more.
Second watch was Ted, which is just... well, a Seth Macfarlane movie, as much as can be expected. 80s references, lots of stuff we've seen before... it's quite funny in a few places, but it's just not that good, really. It has an interesting concept and could've been so much better than it is.
Final watch was Looper, which despite a plot hole or two, is pretty awesome. The kid in this movie is scary as fuck. I don't know how they got such an adult performance out of such a little kid but it's brilliant to the point of unsettling. Also, there is an incompetent, borderline comic relief character who serves virtually no plot purpose, or at least logically shouldn't exist. Plus the awkward shift in pace at the midway point is kind of ridiculous.
