22 Jump Street


"Ridiculously Funny!!" - @cassandrag05

"Totes LOL'd Memory Lost!" - @jipmix

"Better Than The 1st One!" - @dpwtv

"SOMETHING COOL!!!!" - @kashius




I will admit, when I first heard about 21 Jump Street being made into a movie two years ago, I thought it would be another failed money grab by Hollywood. I didn't think it would be successful let alone funny. So I decided to skip it that summer and wait for the DVD release.

Well, once I did see it I was surprised by how it was witty, sharp, and just straight up funny. It wasn't the best comedy that year, but it made me laugh and caught me off guard with some of the scenes.

I will tell you right now, 22 Jump Street surpasses the first movie by a mile. The writers clearly acknowledge that sequels are expected to be bigger, louder, badder, so they just up the ante on this film in ever way. It takes jabs at movie being a sequel. There's explosions and car chases. Fight scenes that are sidesplittingly awkward. There's use of filmmaking jargon in witty ways. Also Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill are hilarious comedic actors. Both causing the laugher to never stop. I had to try holding my laugher in, so I could possibly hear the next gag. It was that kind of laugher that leaves your lower jaw aching after the movie.

22 Jump Street is probably the best comedy of the summer. You should see it right away.

I give it a E -Exceptional (it is damn close to being top rated L - Legendary, maybe I will come up with a new rating that fits in the between)

GO SEE IT!!!!

EDGE. OF. TOMORROW.........



My heart pounded!

I was on the edge of my seat!

It was surprisingly good!

Sorta like Groundhog Day goes to war!

Much better than I thought it could be!

Edge of Tomorrow was a fun, thrilling movie that is a must see in the theater!


Normally Tom Cruise films are very formulaic. He usually plays the unstoppable kick-ass special agent who is just likable enough to save the day.

Well, this movie doesn't veer to far from that. Instead Cruise plays the highly likable guy who isn't a kick-ass soldier but he has to learn to become one that is desperately needed to save the ONE day.

Going into you should be expecting a plethora of action packed scenes. There is definitely plenty of those scenes to go around. What may surprise you is lighter funny moments. I enjoyed those funny scenes immensely. Made you believe in the character as he tries to navigate the same day over and over.

I'm not going to say much more because I don't wan to spoil any surprises you may encounter. If anything, you should go view this movie just to see Emily Blunt continually beat up Tom Cruise as she trains him to become the ONE day savior.

Edge of Tomorrow gets a E - Exceptional!

You should see in the theater so you can experience all the action in its big, loud glory.

Next up, a comedy..... 22 Jump Street
