Inside Out

Pixar uses emotion-capture technology to get inside the heads of their target market and the result is stimulating and sensational.  Brilliant visual renditions of mental machinations provide a perfect playground in which to run whimsically wild.  Perhaps weak on the story front, but still a great tool for teaching feeling.

Cop Out

Smith does as he goes from porn film to dick flick. Funnier than the Porno, but still lacks original Smith depth and sentimentality. Morgan tries to learn what Willis is talking about, and chemistry is excellent. Even Scott manages to deliver in funny but not great buddy cop send up.

I Love You, Man

Apatow’s troupe goes off on their own and finally showcase the bro-mance. Rudd assumes the awkward man role beautifully, though Segel plays over the top. Clever for it’s simple adherence to rom-com formula, and hilarious thanks to Huebel and Samberg’s supporting roles, though both are under-used. I like it, man.
