Season 4 Episode 10 Recap

"Intro To Knots"

It’s Christmas and Jeff’s having a party! Wait, what? I feel like this was shown out of order and that this should have been aired after the Thanksgiving ep with Jeff reuniting with his father and Shirley having a disastrous Thanksgiving of her own.

All continuity aside, Annie blows in Jeff's crib and starts adding her own touches. The rest of the Greendale 6 (no Pierce, sad face) arrive and Annie informs them that they have failed their history paper. Jeff is upset as he is attempting to graduate early.

But have no fear; Annie has invited Cornwallis to the par-tay! The plan is to talk him into a higher grade. Jeff botches the plan and Cornwallis ends up tied to a chair as they force him to up their grade. Cornwallis takes it upon himself to manipulate the group into betraying one another as the person who will untie him gets an A while the rest fail. In the end, Jeff, with his wise words, says they will not betray one another.  Cornwallis was never tied and confessed to being lonely this holiday and that’s the reason he attended the soiree. Also it is revealed that Shirley is in the running for valedictorian. I did not see that coming. 

High points: Abed in the Die Hard shirt and Chang asking “Is this a card?” Those were the only laugh out loud parts for me but that’s two more than last week.

Predictions: This isn't really a prediction just a hope. And it’s that Chang will be the new 7^th person in the Greendale 7. We just have to get past his hatred of the group. Also I think he’s working with the Dean of City College.

While this wasn't a stellar episode it was certainly a step up from last week’s ep. There were glimmers of the old Community here and there and I still have high hopes the show can become as great as it once was.  It’s just painfully obvious that they are still working out the glitches of having new writers and dealing with Chevy Chase’s departure.

I say that we soldier on through this season! Until next time Greendale Humans!

Movie Review: Hansel and Gretel

Movie Review

*Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters

*May contain spoilers

A diabetic and virginal Hansel (played by Jeremy Renner) fights alongside his gorgeous, tough-as-nails sister Gretel (played by Gemma Arterton). Incestuous stares are shared throughout the movie as they slay witches left and right and also unlock the key to their past.

I viewed it in IMAX 3D which, correct me if I’m wrong, is two different things beautifully put together. I went in with a “meh” kind of attitude and low expectations. But it turned out to be a fun movie and the special effects were unbelievable. All movies now need to be shown in IMAX 3D.

Stop eyeing her, she's your sister, bro

From what I gather, and also because I don’t feel like researching this, Hansel really did eat a butt load of candy and the message is clear: too much of a good thing will give you diabetes. Witch hunting also doesn't give room for them to get to know members of the opposite sex because Hansel was oblivious when a young beautiful ginger was flirting with him.  Gretel has her own scenes except they’re not with a human and there's no flirtation. 

There’s a lot of witchcraft and attempts to sacrifice children which made me a little uncomfortable. I always get squeamish with horror movies that include little kids (except for the Hunger Games). But the action scenes were well worth the price of admission! 

I give it 2 very enthusiastic **Megan Fox clubbed thumbs UP.

Rated R:            

Violence

Gore

Language

Nudity

Also starring Famke Janssen as the mother of all witches. 

And since we’re on the topic of movies, A Good Day To Die Hard hits theaters February 14^th and is preceded by a Die Hard marathon at select theaters.  If I can’t make it to the marathon I know how I’m spending my Valentine’s Day. 

**I know Megan Fox only has one clubbed thumb.
