Just re-posting a couple reviews from the library website of movies I enjoyed recently:
Humpday — This one’s definitely for adults only, but a hilarious low budget comedy. Operating at a higher level than the Apatow vein of stuff but there are certainly some similarities. My description won’t do it justice so here is what the case says:
“It’s been a decade since Ben (Duplass) and Andrew (Leonard) were college bad boys. Ben is living contently with a good job and a great wife, until his old buddy Andrew shows up on his doorstep late one night. Andrew, who lives as a vagabond artist, invites Ben out to a wild party. Excessive drinking combined with the irrational need to oneup each other, leads to a mutual dare that locks them into entering an amateur porn contest together.”
Orphan — At first, I thought this was just another version of “The Omen” but ultimately, I found it much more entertaining with an excellent and realistic twist at the end. Well written and great performances from Vera Farmiga as the mother and Isabelle Fuhrman as the evil child. First rate horror flick.
