The next film up for discussion will be the 2008 film how to be a serial killer written/directed by Luke Ricci and starring Dameon Clarke, Matthew Gray Gubler, and Laura Regan. The basic premise is a sort of mocumentary of a serial killer who decides to teach the secrets of his “satisfying” career to a video store clerk that he has decided to make his apprentice. The film is not as gorey as you would expect them to be in the situations given especially for an R rated film .I wouldn’t say this is an A-list movie but it certainly does not deserve to be written off I do admit there were some slow points but it was an enjoyable watch especially if you happen to be into the darker kind of psychologically probing films. It puts you into what can be conceived as the mindset of a serial killer and the rules that govern what makes them a serial killer. To me the film had a lot of potential and maybe wasn’t marketed right because the ratings I looked up for this film just seemed completely uncalled for and should be given another chance.

Next up is the 2009 film Mystery Team from derrick comedy this is in my opinion just a hilarious film that is worth watching.Mystery Team received its world premiere at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. It definitely succeeds as comedy and is in no way a waste of time. Mystery Team in a nutshell is basically about three childhood friends/childhood detectives who are now 18 years old but are still solving crimes like who stole Timmy’s lunchbox; that is until a small girl hired them to find out who murdered her parents and the craziness just goes on from there. This film will have you laughing throughout the entire time and the story definitely builds on itself as time goes on. I am actually a fan of derrick comedy and this movie definitely exceeded expectations for me and kept the laughs going the whole time. Of course this is not considered a family friendly film i know most people probably don't care but i figure i might as well put that in.

The next film for discussion is a little gift for everybody during this time of the semester where testing and long nights of studying are running rampant. I decided on the 2004 film the Perfect Score starring Scarlett  Johansson which didn’t really seem to do too well with ratings. The premise is basically where a group of high school seniors form a team to steal the answers to the SAT, I will admit it is a bit of a cliché topic but it is a bit interesting and ok to watch if you have some free time. The story is a bit of a feel good where everything eventually resolves itself which really isn’t my cup of tea,but I don’t know it does serve somewhat of a message so I can let it slide. The funniest character to me happened to be Roy played by Leonardo Nam. I’m not going to say this is going to be the best comedy movie ever because it did lack a bit on the laughs for a comedy but it shouldn’t be dismissed either it’s really up to the viewer to decide how they like it that’s what this blog is about.

Okay for the second film i decided to go with dave chappelle's block party. Mostly because in block party the viewer can see a different type of person that dave chappelle is besides his chappelle show persona. The film is a documentary of dave chappelle throwing a block party in brooklyn. where he hosts a concert with very inspirational artists such as Common, Mos def, Erykah badu, and many more.
throughout the course of the documentary alot of discussion between chappelle and these artists take place that you would not hear in the chappelle show and that's why i think it's worth the watch. Also i need to point out that this is not a comedy it's a documentary so any complaints like that should not come up.

Feel free to comment on the movie below.
