Nana’s fondest wish is to see Stormy happily married and the determined young woman wants to set her grandmother’s mind at ease.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall: This Time “He” Gets Dumped

Synopsis

Struggling musician Peter Bretter (Jason Segel, Knocked Up, How I Met Your Mother) has spent six years idolizing his girlfriend, television star Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell, Veronica Mars). He’s the guy left holding her purse in paparazzi photos and accidentally omitted from acceptance award speeches. But his world is rocked when she dumps him and Peter finds himself alone. After an unsuccessful bout of womanizing and an on-the-job nervous breakdown, he sees that not having Sarah may just ruin his life.

To clear his head, Peter takes an impulsive trip to Oahu, where he is confronted by his worst nightmare: his ex and her tragically hip new British-rocker boyfriend, Aldous (Russell Brand), are sharing his hotel. But as he torments himself with the reality of Sarah’s new life, he finds relief in a flirtation with Rachel (Mila Kunis), a beautiful resort employee whose laid-back approach tempts him to rejoin the world. He also finds relief in several hundred embarrassing, fruity cocktails (Studio).

Mo Micro Review

Asking the question many have pondered publicly and privately, Morgan Spurlock (Supersize Me) sets off to find numero uno on America's Most Wanted list - Osama bin Laden.

To track public enemy number one, Spurlock bids his very pregnant wife adieu and undergoes very basic training in preparation for his journey to the Middle East. During his whirlwind tour of duty, Spurlock visits one terrorist hotbed after another, doing what he is famous for - inserting himself in the middle of his examination of a noteworthy topic.

And whether he captures the man that releases periodic basement tapes to taunt the US of A is ultimately not as important as the filmmaker’s exposition of the conditions that create the Osamas of this world and the hopes and dreams of those that reject extremism in any form. (M. Lowe, MOSAEC.com)

Synopsis

If Morgan Spurlock has learned anything from over 30 years of movie-watching, it’s that if the world needs saving, it’s best done by one lonely guy, willing to face danger head on, and take it down, action hero style. In WHERE IN THE WORLD IS OSAMA BIN LADEN?, the Oscar nominated filmmaker takes on a franchise even more lethal than McDonald’s—Al Qaeda. And after this real life action thriller is over, the world may never be the same.

So, with no military experience, knowledge or expertise, he sets off to do what the CIA, FBI and U.S. military have all failed to do: find the world’s most wanted man. Why take on such a seemingly impossible mission? Simple—he wants to make the world safe for his soon to be born child. But before he finds bin Laden, he first needs to learn where he came from and the environment and influences that shaped him (Studio).

Mo Micro Review

Forget Felix Unger and Oscar Madison, the odd couple for this generation is Harold Lee and Kumar Patel, portrayed with undeniable appeal by John Cho and Kal Penn, respectively.

After returning from their obstacle-laden burger run, the stoner duo decide to journey to Amsterdam where getting high is a national pastime. In addition to getting their smoke on, the two hope to track down Maria – the object of Harold's desire. But their European vacation veers wildly off course. When Kumar tries to take an in-flight toke with a smokeless bong, his contraption is mistaken for a bomb and the roomies are arrested as a new jack North Korean/Al Qaeda cell.

A neurotic wuss to Kumar's pugnacious persona, Harold decides to seek the assistance of his well-connected buddy Colton and ask him to intervene on their behalf and help them clear their names with the Homeland security gestapo. To do so, the Harold and Kumar must travel to Colton’s Texas homestead where Colton is set to marry Kumar's ex-girlfriend. Along the way, the road tripping Gitmo escapees are hounded by the bigoted Al Qaeda hunter, Ron Fox.

A film that casts a wide comedic net, no ethnic group is spared as the film's off color humor boldly eschews political correctness. Escape from Gitmo is an entertaining satirical fusion of comedy’s many threads.  (M. Lowe, MOSAEC.com)

Synopsis

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay marks the triumphant return of these two hilarious, slacker anti-heroes. The movie stars John Cho as Harold and Kal Penn as Kumar, two stoners who can’t seem to get a break. Their last adventure found them traveling across country to find a White Castle hamburger in order to satisfy a weed-induced case of “the munchies.”

This time, the boys get themselves in trouble trying to sneak a bong onboard a flight to Amsterdam. Now, being suspected of terrorism, they are forced to run from the law and try to find a way to prove their innocence. What follows is an irreverent and epic journey of deep thoughts, deeper inhaling and a wild trip around the world that is as “un-PC” as it gets. (Studio).
