Blake Griffin recommended Superbad (2007) in Movies (curated)

2007 | Comedy

"It’s probably gonna be a very comedy-heavy list, but, one of my favorite movies is Superbad. Big Judd Apatow fan. I kinda always have been, still am, and that movie actually came out, like, my senior year of high school, so it was kinda like the perfect timing for me. It was right before me going to college, and if you remember Superbad, that’s what their whole quest was. Jonah Hill, Judd Apatow, Michael Cera, all those guys, Seth Rogen, Bill Hader — those are all still, to this day, some of my favorite comedians and actors to watch. That’s a big one for me."

Fair to Middlin'
I really wanted to love this movie. The Conjuring has been one of my favorite horror movies since its release. Sadly, this film relied on jump scares and predictable outcomes instead of the insidious creepiness that I loved in the previous movies. Although it does succeed in bridging the gaps between the two Conjurings, the storyline itself was weak and disappointing. With all the time it took to be released, I feel that a much better film could have been produced. Visually it was great. The Nun character is still as horrifying as before, but the movie glosses over the origin of the demon. I appreciated the few comedic bits, but overall this movie was a letdown.

Greatest sci-fi film of all time.
Not too often you can say a film is perfect in every way, but you can with 2001: A Space Odyssey. Screw movies of today which have to explain everything away or the movie itself is just a set up for the never-ending series of films to follow.

You have to appreciate the visuals, music, and unforgettable vagueness of this film and just soak it all in like looking at a beautiful painting by your favorite artist or listening to your favorite song and repeat it over and over again.

After seeing this movie 20+ times, I see new subtleties in it every time and enjoy it completely every time. Probably an acquired taste for today's generation of MCU fans, but certainly worth your time.

Lots of good character moments
Not as many memorable moments (though there are a few) (1 more)
Does kind of feel like franchise maintenance (bringing back a fan favorite character)
A good movie overshadowed because it's in between two great ones
Search for Spock is a good movie, but is largely forgotten because it is in between two great ones. There's just not as much here to make it noteworthy as in II or IV. There aren't really any major problems though and it is a fun watch.

A film everyone needs to watch at least twice
This is, hands down, my favorite movie of all time. There are several reasons, but to name a few:
1. The big reveal was fresh in 1999. A twist that made you immediately want to watch the movie over again.
2. The story is an amazing and unique idea only a brilliant author could ever manifest. (Chuck Palahniuk)
3. The soundtrack, cinematography, and editing was practically perfect
4. The pace of the film is spot on and the characters are well rounded and portrayed
5. Just see it if you haven't

One of my all-time favorite movies!
I love Deadpool, but the version in X-Men Origins: Wolverine was awful. Ryan Reynolds did his best but...ugh. So I was iffy about the premise of a full movie for the character. Would it just be a full-length rehash of the Wolverine mess?

No, I'm glad to say it is not. Deadpool is an action-packed, raunchy, romantic but not sappy, and character-driven movie that definitely left me wanting more. I'm glad I gave it another go and am really looking forward to the sequel.

It was true to the animated classic that we all know and love!! There was a couple of added scenes and some things were altered for the sake of the live action shoot. My favorite added scene was the trip to where Belle was born, it added so much more to the story and the characters connection with each other. I also loved the development of the character Belle, the way we get more depth and background with her versus what we got in the original animated movie story. All in all I have to say was very impressed with the movie!!!
