Because "Killer Employees" Isn't As Good A Title

Excuse me while I wipe some of the dust off this blog. It's kind of sad that I'll write more than one post here kicking myself for never using this thing, and then only post once or twice a month. I guess it's where I never really have much to talk about, and because I end up throwing most of my free time into writing for my movie review blog. (You really should read that blog, by the way.)

Regardless, I figure I might as well dust off the MSX and talk a little about Horrible Bosses. I caught the flick yesterday while I had some free time, and I really enjoyed it. I don't really know what I was expecting out of it, outside of hoping it would be a fun diversion for a few hours on my day off. But the movie's a lot of fun. The laughs aren't one after another, but there's enough of them there to make me feel like I totally got my money's worth.

The weirdest thing about it was that Jennifer Aniston of all people was in the movie. I guess I've gotten used to her doing nothing but the same crappy romantic comedy over and over since Friends ended, but seeing her here as a dentist who sexually harasses someone who works for her to the point of practically raping him was a little off-putting at first. But she's actually really funny in the role, just like everybody else in the cast. All of the actors in the movie bring their A-game, which is great considering a movie like Horrible Bosses lives and dies by its cast.

So would I recommend Horrible Bosses? Yeah, I sure would. It's an entertaining time, for sure. So go check it out if you enjoy the occasional R-rated comedy. I'm gonna give it three and a half stars on the usual scale, and say that it'd make a great matinee showing on a boring afternoon. Check it out.
