Rapture-Palooza

This movie is just stupid funny. I am slightly obsessed with Anna Kendrick, she is amazing. I think I've covered this before but I fell hard for her in the first Twilight, so regardless of how terrible some of her films may be, I will see them all.

My guess is this movie was made in the wake of This is the End. Someone decided hey it's really funny to make fun of those who believe in the apocalypse, so let's jump on this bandwagon. It wasn't a terrible idea and although I'm probably in the minority I laughed more during this movie than I did during the previously mentioned.

Before you even start the film you will see one of Craig Robinson's funny moments in the film which I'm going to be honest, I watched over and over and laughed. "Who is a sexy beast, I am a sexy beast." It's funny and ironic so what more could you want.

If you enjoy dark humor/comedy and are not easily offended than I say go ahead and watch this one. It was funny and if I am looking for a no thought worthy but laughable film I would watch this again. Wouldn't pay to see it in the theater, but would rent it again.

Camp

Sweet baby Jesus, I would like the 114 minutes I spent watching this film back! But, since I can't get that time back I will instead review the movie. Let's start with the statement a friend of mine made after watching, "Camp + musical = gay... Way to play into the stereotype!" Now, before some musical loving people come after me for this review, let me say that I love musicals. However, I don't love when an Indie film plays on every stereotype possible. Why does it seem like every person in this film is confused about their sexuality? Not every kid who goes to some sort of music camp is gay or questioning. I'm going to be honest in why I watched this movie, I love Anna Kendrick. I fell in love with her when she was in Twilight and have been watching a couple different films she was in. Had I known that her role, although epic when she did sing, was so small, I probably would have skipped the movie. Anna Kendrick, I love you. Camp, I hate you.
