21 Jump Street Brings It!



About a week ago (I know I'm late again...), I saw 21 Jumpstreet with my dad. Though the choices for that weekend were between this movie and Casa de mi Padre, I'd been hearing great things about this movie, so I decided to go with this one.

Going into the movie, I seriously wasn't expecting much. Though I love the movies, the act of actually going to watch a movie at a theatre is becoming ridiculously expensive. I mean, I can seriously wait to watch the movie on Redbox for...ONE DOLLAR. Anyways, we caught the early showing ($6 woot woot), to avoid paying the entertainment inflation price.




I mean, of course this movie had to be somewhat pleasing to the eye with Channing Tatum in it. He is hot, I don't care what you think. Basically the movie is about how two guys who were not friends and polar opposites in high school, end up becoming friends while at the same police academy, helping each other in what the other lacks. Channing Tatum plays Jenko is the athletic type, and Jonah Hill play Schmidt has the brains; if you combine both, they are LETHAL...until they get their first job assignment and fail while being security officers at the park.

This brings them to 21 Jumpstreet (Korean Jesus inside joke), where their assignment is to go undercover as high school students. Though both were supposed to get another opportunity on where they shined in high school (Jenko=athlete, Schmidt=nerd), they end up switching their names and had to excel in completely different territories. Jenko was now enrolled in all these AP classes, and Schmidt was enrolled in athletic activities and drama. The fact that their roles ended up switching their "strengths" was GENIUS! This definitely made the movie more funny than I ever expected.




Their mission was to find the dealer and creator of this drug that was going around amongst the high school students. This takes the audience into just an uproar of laughter, where the culprit remains mysterious throughout the entire movie. I'm so glad I decided to see this movie, I was laughing non-stop, and it was such a great surprise in a good way. So if you're looking for a great movie, with great laughter, Channing Tatum's hot self, and a cameo from 21 Jump Street original member Johnny Depp, you definitely need to see this!

Leslie Nielson

Leslie William Nielson born February 11, 1926 passed away November 28th 2010. He appeared in over 100 films and 1,500 television programs over the span of his career, portraying over 220 characters. One of the greatest dry comedic Actors of our time. Although I do remember seeing him in episodes of The Twilight Zone. He could play the serious role along with the comedy.
In Airplane where he says "Surely you can't be serious?", he responds with a curt, "I am serious. And don't call me Shirley." In several interviews he later reflected on the significance of the comedic line: "I thought it was amusing, but it never occurred to me that it was going to become a trademark. It's such a surprise...the thing comes out, people say, 'What did he say?!'"
The Naked Gun(Series) was great along with Wrongfully Accused. I also liked The Poseidon Adventure, Creepshow and Dracula: Dead and Loving It.
He was married to Monica Boyer,Alisande Ullman,Brooks Oliver and Barbara Earl.
Nielsen had two children from his second marriage, Maura and Thea Nielsen.
Nielsen stated in several interviews that he had a few medical problems such as hearing impairment. He was legally deaf and wore hearing aids most of his life. Because of this impairment, he publicly supported the Better Hearing Institute.Leslie Nielsen was admitted to a Fort Lauderdale, Florida hospital for pneumonia. On November 28, Dr. Doug Nielsen, Nielsen's nephew, announced to the CJOB Radio station that Nielsen had died in his sleep around 5:30 p.m. EST, surrounded by family and friends.
He will be missed...
