17 Again!

Railing Seats very own Tony on vacation in Utah with his good friend and RSR's Utah Correspondence Denice. 17 Again was watched in Kaysville theatre, described in the review below.

Denice says:
zac efron

tony says:
ZAC EFRON HAS MAD BASKETBALL SKILLS! MAD!
Denice says:
i hear that wasn't even him playing in the movie. but i don't believe it.
tony says:
when i heard that i felt like i did when i heard santa wasn't real.. and i too don't believe either stories

Denice says:
well, if it wasn't him, my mind is BLOWN. this kid has some serious acting and dribbling skills. and he can spin a ball on his pinky. not even the dos equis guy can do that

tony says:
now wait just a minute!! i head that the dos equis guy FOUNDED the harlem globetrotters.. what are u saying denice?

Denice says:
i'm gonna make a bold assumption here.. .zac efron and dos equis guy ARE THE SAME PERSON. only the dos equis guy could have abs like zac's

tony says:
if that is true then the zac efron in this film is not the same zac efron in all the other zac efron features. i kinda felt the zac efron in this film was cg'd anyway.. at least his hair

Denice says:
only his 1989 hair

tony says:
thoughts on chandler bing?
Denice says:
all i have to say is i'm extremely disappointed with my life
tony says:
he was so dissapointed that he couldnt even put a hammoc up properly
but seriously i never thought that in my life time i'd watch a zac efron film and say it was anything more than horrible. but this one was ok.. i had some geniune laughs..

Denice says:
okay, but chandler had some heart. he was in a bad place and still tried to keep some guy from jumping off a bridge. .. .which in turn lead him to fall into a swirling watery time warp.

tony says:
he did have heart in that situation i agree!
Denice says:
oh,and ned. ned was the best for laughs. until he slapped Efron 4 times
tony says:
ned was my favourite in this film... if i jumped into a magic water time portal that AGED me and gave me lots of money.. i think i'd be Ned.
4 was too much heck 3 was too much. i agree

Denice says:
yeah, ned should learn to control his anger. he went off on efron a few times. efron deserves nothing but respect.

tony says:
i think you're in love with efron!..

Denice says:
he's a manboy

tony says:
which reminds me.. the young pre-teens watching behind us were bad enough with their screaming... but i missed half the film 'cause you couldnt control you're "ooohs and ahhhs"!

Denice says:
3 words - DOS EQUIS ABS. BUT when efron came on, all the teenage girls were going crazy. i was the only one who screamed when chandler came on the screen

tony says:
and THAT was heart! i give u a 10/10 for that. did u still feel the same when u found out that chandler was sorta a jerk?

Denice says:
i liked chandler the entire time because i knew that he would turn back into efron. .. .and efron's heart would change chandler's heart in the end. since they are the same heart. i totally mind blew myself there.

tony says:
i dont even know what movie we're reviewing anymore after the profoundness of that.

Denice says:
lets go rent high school musical and hairspray. thats how into efron i am now. posters, dolls, i'm getting them ALL!

tony says:
dolls!?!?!?!?!?

Denice says:
i am sure they make high school musical dolls with soft, flowing, emo bangs like efrons

tony says:
ok i think you're outta hand... ! what did u think of the actual movie? do not picture any abs

Denice says:
i honestly thought it was good. it was entertaining, funny, it held my interest the entire time. and the pre-game hand kiss, the letter he read in the court room that turned out to not be a letter at all but was just a sheet of paper with directions on it... .i cried. not real adult tears, but teenage dream tears. all heart. i love that manboy. there, i said it.
and i am not ashamed.

tony says:
nor should you be! but i still think he was cg'd.... and i myself agree that the film was not bad... i thought it would be a lot more horrible... but i ask you.. how much did the kaysville theatre vibe help the movie?
Denice says:
i am immune to the vibes of the kaysville theater, i've been around it too long. my opinion of the movie is not affected by the amazingness of the theater.

tony says:
that is a good point.. i still am gonna give bonus marks for the vibe tho... i'm giving this a 5/10 bumped up .5 because leslee mann was in it.. and bumped up another .5 for the theatre experience... so 6/10!

Denice says:
10/10. it would be a 6 but 2 extra points for dos equis abs, and 2 extra points for ned cuz i am pretty sure he needs them to get to the next level in halo.


The Chelios Heart Award

Denice's Pick: Zac Efron and his abs who have their own heart

Tony: " you look like a douche" "I don't look like a douche" "What a douche!"

Kaysville, Utah Theater Experience



tony says:
kaysville theatre is legend status!

Denice says:
at least in kaysville
tony says:
i'm spreading the word throughout the planet... this is what movie going is all about.. i think any movie watched in there is instantly better

Denice says:
well, we have to have good theaters because, as you now know, there is nothing more to do in utah
tony says:
that's not true either!.. but for those of you who don't know.. Kaysville theatre shows a anti-littering public service announcement made in 1983 before every film.. at the end of the announcement we see a man drag gum all over the floor.. at which point the entire audience yesll "EWWWWW" in unison
, this kind of tradition in movie watching is what every town should have!
Denice says:
everyone from kaysville knows you have to say ew. its like, we were born with a 6th sense about the PSA.
tony says:
it's true!!! and for that i'm giving the theatre experience 10/10.. and the PSA a 10/10 as well... i am loyal to the AMC in my hometown... but if we had something like this, i'd sell it out in a heartbeat
Denice says:
i'm still upset that they didn't show the cartoon man with the mustache telling you to use trash recepticals. he's legendary, too. and he has the best theme song EVER
tony says:
i think if i woulda came in and watched those two legendary PSA's one after another.. i may have suffered severe head trauma.. the one i did see was THAT good

Denice says:
its been known to happen. they have an emergency response team at the ready.
tony says:
so that's why the parking lot was full of ambulances!!

Land of the Lost


tony says:
ok because of the May Movie Mayhem, which is June now, our laziness, and the unspectacularness of the film, the review for The land of the lost is gonna be short... al did you like land of the lost? discuss
Alex says:
I liked it for a kids film, will farrel was not as annoying as I thought he'd be and there were some really funny parts (the cher song, soaking yourself in dino-piss, and tunic wearing lizards).
tony says:
i'm gonna do my review in form of haiku:

time paradoxes
actress looks like kate from lost
some laughter ensues
tony says:
5.5/10 for me

Alex says:
giving it a 6/10 for wholesome family fun, cept the mugs, cuz wth?

Up



tony says:
al are you UP for the review of UP?? cackle!
Alex says:
don't make fun of Up
Alex says:
Up is srs bsns
tony says:
up is a good movie.. no doubt.. but its the opening montage that gets you. You'd have to be a real evil person to not get emotionally attached to the characters right away.
Alex says:
made of stone
Alex says:
I shed man tears
Alex says:
and maybe even a regular tear
tony says:
i was close too. tony says: i don't think Pixar is capable of making bad movies though... which kinda ticks me off
Alex says:
Carl was a fuggin beast tho, in his advanced age, he can haul a house, beat of packs of stray dogs, and scale an inverse derigible
Alex says:
Pixar can do no wrong, maybe cars, haven't seen that one, talking cars?
tony says:
you keep telling me people liked cars though so.. who knows?
Alex says:
toy story 3 is coming out, its getting old, Pixar needs to do an original story every year
Alex says:
I liked that one kid in the theatre who asked if the old man was dead
tony says:
that kid rocked! and he was loud!
Alex says:
he's gonna grow up writing poetry and rocking mascara, or whatever the social equivalent will be when he reaches teenagedom
tony says:
you realize that this film has one of the most cruelist and cold-blooded villains of all time? the villian tried to ice the kid! he tried to shoot him! tony says: i can name 10 of the most viscious killers in film history that wouldnt have done that
Alex says:
well he killed all the other guys that came before, and kept their helmets...if it wasn't pixar, they'd be heads on a pike
tony says:
this is true
tony says: i for one didnt like carl.. you only like him because you like his wife so much..
Alex says:
Carl was the shit!
Alex says:
I dun like that
tony says:
nah his ragtag crew was the best... and alpha
Alex says:
I want a talking dog
Alex says:
I do not like the representation of asians in this film....
tony says:
discuss

Alex says:
divorced parents, fat, and the dad didn't show up at the end
Alex says:
His dad's new girlfriend better be hawt
tony says:
i like the asian representation... first of all a lot of people dont even think the kid WAS asian... and yeah he was fat and had parental issues, but the guy was a wilderness adventurer.. not some bucktooth glasses wearing kid with an abacus..
Alex says:
thats just racist
tony says:
disney IS racist.. i still havent forgive them for mulan

Alex says:
Pixar doesn't equal to disney,
tony says:
ok the tactics to get you emotional in this film.. cheap or geniune?

Alex says:
both
Alex says:
no matter how cheap, it still gets you
tony says:
agreed

tony says:
but the film is solid! 9/10 for making me almost shed tears.. not as good as Wall-E

Alex says:
wall-e was racist
tony says:
against robots?

Alex says:
humanity
Alex says:
9/10 also, but I liked wall-e better too
