21 Jump Street

Oh man! This movie was all I expected it to be. It was super funny, and the situations were so out of left field that I actually could not guess what was going to happen next. I didn't even feel the need to guess because it kept me enthralled the whole time. Channing Tatum was hot (of course), but also provided his fair share as the source of my laughter. Jonah Hill's performance was the funniest thing I have seen in a while, and props to him for sharing the spotlight. Also, I was unaware that Ellie Kemper was going to be in this movie! So I was pleasantly surprised by her appearance, although some of her lines were overdone, she executed them awesomely. 
The movie tends to excel in physical comedy from all the actors. My only complaint with 21 Jump Street would be the love interest between Jonah Hill and the high-schooler. That was a little weird. All-in-all if you haven't seen this movie, we should never be friends.

50/50

First off, I don't cry during movies. I'm not sure if its a pride thing, but I just don't. I've encountered lots of movies that are 'sad' and 'weepy', yet, they've never made me shed a tear. At the most, Toy Story 3 made my vision a little blurry, but I'll do that movie later. So anyway, when I heard that this movie was more of a drama than a comedy, and was really 'heartwarming' (I hate that word) I was hesitant to watch it, because my favorite thing to do is laugh. But, I gave in and watched it. 

When I think of Seth Rogen I don't think of drama, so I'd have to say his performance really surprised me. Not only was he funny, but he quite pleasantly showed a more emotional side that was really convincing. 50/50 was un-expectantly funny and had tons of awkward real-life moments that made me feel closer to the characters. Then coming up on the end, when Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character, Adam, is on the operating table, and he suddenly freaks out, well, thats the part. The part where reality hit him, and where something hit me. Although he had put on such a cool facade throughout all the rest of his illness, he realized he might not make it out the surgery alive. I honestly don't even know what it was, but it got me. Dang it, two freaking tears rolled down my cheeks. Curse you, on making me feel so connected to a freaking movie.
