Horrible Bosses, average comedy

  • Title: Horrible Bosses
  • IMDB: link

Horrible Bosses posterDon’t you wish you could kill your boss? Wouldn’t it be cool if you’re two best friends felt the same way and you all decided to go into it together? That’s the basic premise of Horrible Bosses, a foul-mouthed raunchy comedy that is neither as dark or as funny as it needs to be.

It isn’t that the movie is bad, I’ll admit to laughing at some of the ridiculous antics displayed on-screen. Not big laughs, but laughs none the less. The problem is it just isn’t that memorable.

One of the cardinal rules to screenwriting is to never mention or evoke memories of better movies, thereby reminding the audience of films they would rather be watching. A clever homage, maybe, but it can backfire at least as often as it succeeds. Namedropping movies the audience would rather be watching, yeah, that’s not such a great idea.

Esquire’s Women of Summer

Esquire has named their Women of Summer: 1985-2011 by choosing one woman for every year who they believe dominated that summer and made it one to remember. I’ve got a quibble or two with some of their choices but there are quite a few lovely ladies that made the list (some of which you’ll find pics for after the jump) including Kelly LeBrock, Christina Applegate, Pamela Anderson, Demi Moore, Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johannson, Megan Fox, and the cast of models from George Michael’s “Freedom.”
