Cool VS Stool - The Hangover Part 2

The Hangover Part 2: It's like The Hangover but with a monkey and trannies!

The Todd Philips directed, Warner Bros. squeal to 2009's The Hangover (the largest grossing 'R' rated movie, ever), is the steroid-injected brother to its predecessor. There is nothing "new" in Part 2 as far as the plot line is concerned. The wolf pack is back, but instead of losing Doug (Justin Bartha -National Treasure) the guys misplace Teddy (Mason Lee -Son of director Ang Lee), the future brother in-law of Stu (Ed Helms -NBC's The Office).

What differentiates Part 2 from The Hangover is location: Bangcock, Thailand. The city itself takes on the persona of a character in the story. All the problems the wolf pack encounters are simply scapegoated on the city. In Bangcock, anything goes. For a film whose precursor was known for its extreme crudeness, even in Las Vegas, a setting that is even more no-holds-barred was necessary for the follow-up film. This setting allows the cast to go bigger than they did in 2009.

Cool VS Stool - Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Jack Sparrow looks better with the new boob-job.

How could Disney get people to spend money to see yet another Pirates of the Caribbean film? Give them what they want, another Jack Sparrow; but this time, can he have luscious lips and a great rack?

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Pirates of the Caribbean, Bad Boys II) unleashed his latest addition to the Pirates franchise this week. Unlike the "Kraken" unleashed in the previous two films, the 4th addition to the saga keeps the conflict focused and coherent from beginning to end. An end that doesn't come until an exhausting 137 minutes after it begins.

Cool VS Stool - Bridesmaids

Are you the type of girl who sees The Hangover and thinks, "Girls can be this funny. When do we get The Ladies' Hangover?" Well Producer Judd Apatow (Knocked Up, Superbad) and Director Paul Feig (Arrested Development) are those type of girls... err... guys.

Kristen Wiig (SNL) stars as Annie in this non-traditional Rom-Com that she co-wrote with Annie Mumolo. The film is non-traditional to its genre because, in classic Apatow fashion, it doesn't shy from blatant vulgarity. But the film can still be seen as a traditional Rom-Com as it deals with the coming together of middle and high socio-economic classes via marriage.

It's about time!

After all of these years of the entire Galactic Empire looking for just one man, it only took one bounty hunter to do the job.
