I woke up like two hours ago, and honestly, I’m just too lazy to write a blog that has some kind of funny take or story or whatever. So today, I’m just going to give you guys a quick list of some slept on movies that you owe it to yourself to watch. The year’s almost over, which means that these will give you a fantastic selection of films to watch instead of studying for your finals or working on your papers. Here you go:
Primer
This one is a quick watch, which is perfect because you will probably want to watch it again after so that you can get the full grasp of it. It’s an absolute mindfuck of a movie. It’s got major Christopher Nolan vibes, so for anybody that’s a fan of Memento, Tenet, or Inception, this shit is right up your alley.
Hall Pass
I hadn’t heard of this movie before last summer, but I’m so glad that my friend and I decided to watch it. Jason Sudeikis and Owen Wilson star in it, but it’s also got a killer supporting cast. It’s pretty much hilarious from start to finish, and I promise you will not regret watching it. As an added bonus, there is a fantastic scene where you get to see boobs – nice ones too.
The Game
This is another fantastic mindfuck movie. It’s directed by David Fincher, so any of you guys that like Fight Clubor Se7en will love it. Michael Douglas and Sean Penn are both cool as shit throughout the whole movie, and you will have absolutely no clue what’s actually going on until it ends.
Whiplash
If you follow Friday Beers on Instagram (and if you don’t, get that shit fixed), you’ve probably seen some clips from this movie. This movie did really well at the Oscars when it came out, but there’s a lot of people who have not seen it. J.K. Simmons and Miles Teller are both amazing in it, and even though it’s a movie about drumming, it feels like a thriller the entire time.
The Way Way Back
Sam Rockwell has become one of my favorite actors and he is absolutely awesome in The Way Way Back. It’s kind of a dramedy, but the funny stuff is hilarious. Steve Carrell, Toni Collette, and Maya Rudolph are all in it as well, but the best part about the movie is AnnaSophia Robb because she is an absolute smoke.
Due Date
If you’ve ever seen Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, this is pretty much the same thing except it’s got Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis. Zach Galifianakis basically plays the same character as Alan from The Hangover, so you have that to look forward to. If you do end up watching it, please know that the waffle house scene is one of my favorite moments in cinematic history.
There you go. Again, I don’t have anything clever to say, so just imagine that I said something funny. Or don’t. I don’t care.
