Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang

Hola! Yesterday I finished reading the newest book by Chelsea Handler, Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang.

Title: Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang
Author: Chelsea Handler
Genre: Memoir, Humor
Summary (from dustjacket): Life doesn't get more hilarious than when Chelsea Handler takes aim with her irreverent wit. Who else would send all-staff emails to smoke out the dumbest people on her show? Now, in this new collection of original essays, the #1 bestselling author of Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea delivers one laugh-out-loud moment after another as she sets her sights on the ridiculous side of childhood, adulthood, and daughterhood. Family moments are fair game, whether it's writing a report on Reaganomics to earn a Cabbage Patch doll, or teaching her father social graces by ordering him to stay indoors. It's open season on her love life, from playing a prank on her boyfriend (using a ravioli, a fake autopsy, and the Santa Monica pier) to adopting a dog so she can snuggle with someone who doesn't talk. And everyone better duck for cover when her beach vacation turns into matchmaking gone wild. Outrageously funny and deliciously wicked, CHELSEA CHELSEA BANG BANG is good good good good!
Review: I felt that Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang was a little too similar to Vodka. I knew that it was the same formating of Vodka, but I guess I was just expecting a different experience.  I felt like there wasn't anything really different about the quality of writing.  Don't get me wrong, I did like the book.   Quite a few parts were laugh out loud funny.  I also think that Chelsea Handler is much funnier in person because she's talking and thinking of the top of her head.  Books don't really have the same sense of quick and cruel humor.  Sorry this review is so short but those are my feelings in a nutshell.  Also, I like Chelsea Handler so I am being very lenient with my grade.  Plus, the book is worth reading if you want a very non serious book to read.
Grade: B

P.S. I have a suprise to tell you! Stay tuned!

Date Night

Wow, it seems like a really long time since I posted.  Almost a month! Great to be back.  Whenecer I see a new movie or read a new book I think "Oh God when will I have time to update my blog?", but then I sign in and start typing and I feel like I could write for days! So happy to be back!

Title: Date Night

Genre: Comedy

MPAA Rating: PG-13

Summary: Steve Carell and Tina Fey play Phil and Claire Foster, a "boring couple from New Jersey" in their first and highly anticipated on-screen colaboration.  The night starts when they go out for a date night in Manhattan to an exclusive restaurant.  There are no tables available so they take another couples reservations.  Little did they know that the couple they stole a reservation from were on the run from the mafia.  During their meal two suspicious characters ask them for the flash drive which Phil and Claire know nothing about.  This leads to a comedy-filled, action-packed night in Manhattan that involves Will.I.Am, a strip club, and a car chase that will make you literally lol.
Review: I am a HUGE fan of Tina Fey and all of her work.  SNL, 30 Rock, Baby Mama, etc.  I had very high expectaitions for this movie and boy did it live up to them!  Date Night was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen.  Hands down.  Steve Carell and Tina Fey have an amazing on screen chemistry which really helps alot.  They are two naturally very funny people so there really wasn't any possible way this movie could've gone wrong.  Another thing I loved about this movie were the rediculous amount of stars.  These included Steve Carell and Tina Fey of course, Will.I.Am (Black Eyed Peas), Olivia Munn (G4TV), Kristen Wiig (SNL), Mark Whalberg (The Departed, Entourage), Ray Liotta (Goodfellas), John Franco (Spider-Man trilogy, Pineapple Express, Milk), Mila Kunis (That 70's Show, Family Guy), and SO MANY MORE!
Another thing about this movie is that I think alot of people think it's a romantic comedy but it really isn't!  Sure there are some "aww" moments but this movie is purley a COMEDY! Guys will enjoy this just as much as girls will.  There is an AMAZINGLY HILARIOUS AND ACTION-PACKED CAR CHASE and a pretty long scene at a strip club where Phil and Claire bust a move.  See this movie.  See it on a date, some friends, or even by yourself because this movie will make you leave the theater smiling.
Grade: A+ Tina, you've done it again.
