GET HIM TO THE GREEK: This is a Forgetting Sarah Marshall spin-off focusing on Russell Brand's Aldous Snow. While it was interesting and funny it didn't have the heart FSM had. There were many laugh out loud moments most of them surprisingly involving Diddy's crazed record executive. I did enjoy the film but felt the comedy was uneven and would have worked better if it was just a straight raunchy comedy. The tender moments felt horribly forced and slowed down the comedic energy of the film. Still it's better than the majority of comedies that have been released this year.

A-TEAM: Not being a fan of the original 80's television series but being aware of it I didn't exactly know what to expect. I'm not sure how ridiculous the show was but this film was just bizarre. Jackson's B.A. was more annoying than intimidating since his Mr. T impression got tired within the first two times he said "fool". Yet every other word ended up being fool which ruined the character. On the other hand the other actors seemed more comfortable and it showed they were having fun with their roles. The action scenes were decent and well done but it didn't make up for the poorly written dialog/story. Everything was predictable in the film while fun at moments it didn't feel coherent enough for repeat viewings. If you're up for brainless action mixed with cheesy one-liners you'll enjoy this.
