Movie Review: Get Him to the Greek

The newest film by Jonah Hill and Russell Brand with Forgetting Sarah Marshall director Nicholas Stoller is as good or better than their previous endeavors. “Get Him to the Greek” is the story of a record company intern with two days to drag an uncooperative rock legend to Hollywood for a comeback concert. The comedy is the latest film from producer Judd Apatow who has done such films as “The 40-Year-Old Virgin”, “Knocked Up”, and “Funny People”. The ambitious 23-year-old named Aaron Greenburg has exaggerated his way into a dream job just in time for a career-making assignment. His mission: fly to London and escort a rock god to L.A.'s Greek Theatre for the first-stop on a $100-million tour. His warning: turn your back on him at your own peril. British rocker Aldous Snow is both a brilliant musician and walking sex fiend. Weary of yes men and piles of money, the former front man is searching for the meaning of life. But that doesn't mean he can't have a good time while he finds it. When he learns his true love is in California, Aldous makes it his quest to win her back before kick-starting his world domination. This film is another riotous flick by Apatow in the same vein as his other hits like “Anchorman.” Brand delivers most of the laughs as his frequent alter ego Aldous Snow, and anyone that has seen Brand’s stand-up will agree that the two are very similar. The regularly calm Hill provides a great contrast to the crazy antics of Brand and the combination provides for many “rolling of the floor laughing” moments. According to RottenTomatoes.com, 73% of viewers gave the movie a “Fresh” rating, which means that out of 100 people, 73 of them would have liked the movie. This writer is definitely one of those 73%

Because we’re awesome...100% of the time.

Interview with Mr. Paul Sears

Jay: What’s up Paulie? Thanks for letting me interview you.Paul: Anytime Jay. Before we get things started, I would like to request that you call me by my middle name, Hakeem.J: Ok Hakeem, so, how was the school year this year?H: It went well I think. We had a lot of effort from the majority of the students and everyone seemed to perform at the best of their abilities.J: Everyone?H: Well, maybe not all the students. I heard some rumors about a few girls who often cheated in statistics class.J: Can I get a name?H: Don’t write this down, but I heard Megan Jiang, Laura Schaffer, Samantha Lee, Emily Machlin, and Ally Sullivan would break into room 101 every night beforehand and copy all the tests.J: That’s not good.H: No, no it isn’t.J: So Hakeem, tell me; what teachers do you think did especially well this year?H: Good question. Michael Watson really stayed on top of his students this year, as well as Ben Greene and Aracely Digirolamo.J: I was unaware Aracely was back.H: She teaches the super SPED class; well actually, she’s enrolled in them. She’s a student here.J: I see. So what teachers do you think underperformed this year?H: Well Wagner and Collichio really pooped the bed this year. They are both awful teachers and their classes are not fun. But I have to say, the most disappointing teacher we had this year was none other than George Pease. Not only does he often fart in the middle of class, but also I’ve heard rumors that he forces his students to call him by his first name, George. Very, very unprofessional.J: It absolutely is. I heard one student was so traumatized; she had to drop out of the class.H: Yes. It was a sad, sad day when Meghna left us. She’s in a better place now.J: Let us pray for the students next year. (Silence) Well Hakeem, thank you for your time. From everyone here at Big Bang Boom, we would like to say thank you and best of luck next year.H: For Narnia!

Ask The EditorQ: What’s the best part of working at Bing Bang Boom?

A: The best part about working here is that really it’s not just a movies magazine. The range of what we cover is pretty big. We’ve got music, TV, internet, politics, sports, crime, foreign and national affairs, environment and more. So, I don’t really see it as one genre. That being said, I’ve had to reinvent the job many times over. Coming to the same office, same desk, same everything for this long can get pretty weird and repetitive. The people around here change so that’s good and new photographers crop up all the time. I’m a creature of habit, so staying put suits my lifestyle. I’m 95% confident that I’m happy here.

LOST: Series Finale In Review

The great puzzle of the last season of Lost has been: how can both the flash-sideways universe and the Island universe mean anything? If Sideways is the universe in which Oceanic 815 never crashed, who cares what happens on the Island? If the Island is where the characters' fates are sealed, how can there be any meaning to what happens in the Sideways?

The moving, soulful finale that Damon Lindelof and Carleton Cuse gave us met that challenge. The Island world, we learned, absolutely mattered to the physical fate of the survivors, and the Sideways world mattered because it was the culmination of the spiritual, moral, human lives--the souls--of the characters.It mattered, it moved, and it achieved.

"The End" was an epic, stirring two and a half hours of television, full of heart and commitment, that was true to Lost's characters as we knew them from season one. And through elaborate use of symmetries, echoes and callbacks—as well as some go-for-broke acting and a visual grandeur by director Jack Bender that matches the show's pilot—it brought them powerfully and cathartically full circle.
