Gary Oldman
Gary Oldman is my July pick for the under appreciated actor. Some of my friends have recommended him to be on my list for a while now. So, I listened. Oldman is incredibly under appreciated. He has been in so many great roles and has only been nominated once for a Oscar. Which is such a travesty. Oldman is the man. Especially when he gets a chance to do a villain or "bad guy" role. He was awesome in "The Professional"! Check out some of his more memorable roles:
- Sid and Nancy
- JFK
- Dracula
- True Romance
- Leon: The Professional
- The Scarlett Letter
- The Fifth Element
- Air Force One
- Lost in Space
- Hannibal
- Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban
- Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
- Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows : Part 2
- The Book of Eli
- Red Riding Hood
- Kung Fu Panda (voice)
- Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
- Batman Begins
- The Dark Knight
- The Dark Knight Rises
Gary Oldman has been named, "my favorite actor" by other actors such as Tom Hardy and Alexander Skaarsgard. He is the man, and needs to be recognized more. I get excited for Gary Oldman movies and I know others do to. So from all of us here at The Yes Indeed Papers (and by all of us, I mean just me), Gary Oldman.....we salute you! Yes Indeed.
So.......I have to print a retraction. After watching 21 Jump Street, I have to give it up to Channing Tatum.
I used to think that he was a bad actor. While some people may think that's still true, I have to hand it to him. He was absolutely hilarious in 21 Jump Street! I now have a new found respect for Channing Tatum and hope to see more comedy roles like this one from him.
I also would like to make a formal retraction and remove him from my Top 5 Worst Actors. He is officially being replaced by Beyonce. While she is extremely talented, and an amazing performer, she is such a bad actress. I'm actually a little upset with my self that I forgot her the first time around. So here is the new list of the Top 5 Worst Actors:
1). Paul Walker
2). Jessica Alba
3). Dane Cook
4). Beyonce
5). Megan Fox
So there's my retraction. Channing Tatum.....I apologize. Yes indeed.
So I was told to watch this one when it was out in theaters but i never got around to it. So I waited until it was out on DVD. I recently watched it and oh man.......this movie was absolutely hilarious!
To take a wannabe drama TV show from the 80's and make a comedy movie out of it was brilliant. It was funny from start to finish. I didn't know what to think when I first heard that it was coming out. I kind of had low expectations. This movie was one of the funniest movies that i have seen in a long time. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum made the perfect duo for this movie. They fill out the roles of brainy and brawny to a T. Now I'll be the first to admit that Channing Tatum would not have been my first choice for this movie. I actually ranked him the 5th worst actor a few entries ago. However, after watching this movie.....I might need to write a retraction about him. He was hilarious. And you couldn't have picked anyone better than Jonah Hill to play opposite him. They knew each other when they were in high school and they both decide to join the police academy at the same time. Tatum can do everything physical, and Hill can do everything intellectual. They basically can do everything the other can't. So they decide to become friends and rest is magic.
To not give anything away, Tatum and Hill are picked to play High school students because of the fact that they look young. They have to infiltrate and find the source of a new drug that's been making it's way around the school. There are some absolute outrageous, pee in your pants scenes! And it's rated R (thank god). So the language and content is just what you would want.
If you were a fan of the 80's TV show.... if your a fan of Channing Tatum......if your a fan of down right, laugh out loud, Rated R comedy movies......then watch 21 Jump Street because it is so worth it. Funny, funny, good good stuff. Yes indeed.
Watched this one recently. I don't have too much to say about it except.....it was all right.
Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston lose their jobs in New York City and have to go live Rudd's brother. And on the way there, they spend the night at a bed & breakfast called Elysium, which is a free love, hippy community, and they fall in love with it. They decide to stay and it turns out to be not what they expect. Sort of. Without giving anything away, Rudd and Aniston's marriage experience some troubled waters.
Wanderlust has a little bit of good and a little bit of bad. It's rated R so there is a lot of adult type of awkward situations which makes for some great comedy. Paul Rudd is always hilarious and it's a original story. However, the storyline of the movie goes from great to.....eh. The first half of the movie is hilarious. But I am not a fan of the second half of the movie. There are some parts of the story that just don't need to be there. And I wasn't a huge fan of the ending. I think they could have written it a different way and still had the same result. Watch the movie and you'll know what I'm talking about.
Overall, Wanderlust is good, but not great. It's definitely funny and some outrageous parts. But story wise, I was not impressed. But it's still good for some laughs and it did entertain me. So I guess I can't be too disappointed. Yes indeed.

Jason Lee
Jason Lee is my June pick for the underappreciated actor. I am a huge fan of Jason Lee. Thank you, thank you, thank Kevin Smith for giving Jason Lee his big break in Mallrats. I love Jason Lee movies. The only problem is, he is known but he is not well known enough. Hence, why he is my pick for the underappreciated actor. People should know who Jason Lee is! He is such a good actor. His comedy acting is hilarious. I was pretty upset when My Name is Earl got cancelled. He can also do some roles that require a little more seriousness. He was perfect in Almost Famous. He has some good roles under his belt. Here are some of his more memorable movies:
- Mallrats
- Drawing Flies
- Chasing Amy
- Kissing a Fool
- Enemy of the State
- Dogma
- Almost Famous
- Heartbreakers
- Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
- Vanilla Sky
- Stealing Harvard
- A Guy Thing
- The Incredibles (voice)
- The Ballad of Jack and Rose
- Clerks 2
- Monster House (voice)
- Underdog (voice)
- Alvin and the Chipmunks
- Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel
- Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked
- Memphis Beat
- Cop Out
- My Name is Earl
As you can see, he's been in some great movies. Jason Lee is the man and deserves way more recogntion. Hopefully this helps. So from all of us here at the yes indeed papers (and by all of us, I mean just me), Jason Lee.....we salute you. Yes indeed!
So my wife and I saw this one last weekend. I went in with no expectation because I really didn't know what to expect. All these old fairy tales are getting new updates. Some get it right, and some get it wrong. Snow White and the Huntsman got it right!
This movie rocked! It's the same story that your used to but it's more directed toward the Grimm fairytale instead of the Disney version. This movie is dark, and action packed. The first question I've gotten after I've told people I saw it is, how does Kristen Stewart do? And I've got to tell you, she was actually pretty good. I know most people are not fans of her because of the Twilight movies, but she was good in this movie. Chris Hemsworth was a perfect choice as the Huntsman. He's gonna have a huge career. But the show stealing performance was Charlize Theron. She killed it! She was intense and had some great moments of shear craziness when she screams and rants like a crazy dictator. Its awesome. Also, the special effects in this movie for phenomenal. There was some fights scenes that were bad ass too. My only complaint, is that there was something missing from this movie. I still can't quite put my finger on it. It feels like there's something missing from the storyline. I think they could have done more with the Queen being Evil. Apparently, everyone hated her, but the only she shows is her need to be beautiful, which is the reason she needs to get rid of Snow White. But if she did some more ruthless stuff, like kill some innocent people, it would have made the war at the end, a little more justified. But I'm probably just talking out of my ass, because this movie was pretty awesome.
Snow White and the Huntsman is a great summer movie and puts a dark spin on the old fairytale. Some people might disagree but the cast is perfect. The special were amazing and the story was well written. So when you put it all together, you get a grade A movie. Zero to little disappointment if you watch this movie. Yes indeed.
So I watched this one last night. I am a big fan of the first one so I was excited to see the sequel. And after watching it, I can easily say that I was not disappointed.
So I say I wasn't disappointed but that doesn't mean that this was the best movie ever. It simply means that I'm happy that I watched it. The movie was fun, action packed, suspenseful and comedic. Robert Downey Jr. is perfect for the role of Sherlock Holmes. His chemistry with his partner Watson, played by Jude Law is hilarious. And newcomer Noomi Rapace adds a certain female charm that is perfect for her character of a gypsy. The plot is a little difficult to describe in writing but it basically comes down to a villain named Professor Moriarty that wants an aspect of world domination. You first get introduced to Moriarty in the first movie. You jut never see his face, but it was to give you a small taste of the plot for this movie. Guy Ritchie is also back as the director and you can't really go wrong with Guy Ritchie. My only complaint about this movie, is that it was not as good as the first one. Most sequels do not measure up to the original, this one came close, but just wasn't as good. And I'm still not sure if I like the ending. I'll have to watch it again to make up my mind, which I have no problem doing.
Overall, Sherlock Holmes 2 is a good movie and I definitely enjoyed myself while watching it. I just didn't get up afterwards and say, "that was the best movie ever!" But that doesn't mean I didn't like, because I did. Yes indeed.

Rick Moranis
So I was channel surfing the other day and came across the movie, Little Giants. I remember watching it as a little kid. So I watched it and then I came to thinking....what is Rick Moranis doing? I haven't seen anything from him in a while. But then I started remembering all the good roles that he has been in and thought, he is really under appreciated. And the sad thing is, is that if I went up to a 18, 19 or 20 year old and said, who is Rick Moranis? They would probably say....who? And that is unacceptable because he's been in some good movies. Here are some of his more memorable roles:
- Strange Brew
- Ghostbusters
- Ghostbusters 2
- Brewsters Millions
- Club Paradise
- Little Shop of Horrors
- Spaceballs
- Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
- Honey, I Blew Up the Kid
- Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves
- Parenthood
- My Blue Heaven
- The Flintstones
- Little Giants
- Big Bully
Rick Moranis is my May pick for my salute to the under appreciated actor. He's been in too many good movies and have had so many good roles to go overlooked. Rick Moranis is the man! And he needs to get the nod. So from of all us here at The Yes Indeed Papers, (and by all of us I mean just me) Rick Moranis, we salute you......yes indeed!
I saw this one last night. Awesome, awesome, awesome! I didn't know what to expect. The cast is all unknown. I never heard of the director or the writers, and I wasn't really 100% sure as to what the plot was. But, after watching it, I found that it was great movie with an original idea. And the way, it was filmed, was really original as well.
Chronicle was filmed like the movie Cloverfield. Someone with a handheld video camera is basically shooting the entire thing. It revolves around one of the 3 main characters who decides one day to just start filming everything. They come across this....thing, that allows them the ability to move things with their mind. And essentially, the entire movie is them learning how to use, control, and master their new talent. One of them starts excelling and using it differently than he should. He can't control it as well as the others, because his life is not as good as the others. His mom is dying, his father drinks and hits him, and he is constantly picked on at school. What happens next is nothing short of awesome. Andrew loses control and......well that's enough. Make sure you watch it.
I loved Chronicle. The fact that it was filmed as if it was the point of view of one of the characters which makes the title work. And since it was done with an unknown cast makes the way it was filmed, believable. Chronicle is original, well written and has amazing special effects. Watch it! Yes indeed.
Watched this one recently. I didn't really expect much. When I heard about another Mission Impossible movie, I jut figured that Tom Cruise didn't know how to make any other movie. But since I'm a fan of the other 3, I had to give it a chance. And after watching it, I think it was the best one out of the whole series.
So again, I didn't expect much. The last Tom Cruise action movie was so awful, it doesn't deserve any recognition. You know that one with him and Cameron Diaz. Dreadful! But since I'm a fan of the series, I had to watch it. Like I said, I think it's the best one out of the whole series. Tom Cruise stars as Ethan Hunt and gets broken out of prison to come back for a job, excuse me, mission. The mission fails and things go terribly wrong. The president initiates Ghost Protocol which means that the entire IMF has been disavowed. Not only that, but most of them has been killed. All but 4. Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner, and Paula Patton. Their new mission is to fix what went wrong. So that means, everything that could go wrong, will go wrong. But it's mission impossible, not mission "gonna be hard". And because it's mission impossible, its makes it Mission awesome! The action in this movie is fantastic. There is one particular scene in which Tom Cruise must scale the outside of the tallest building in the world in order to get to a particular room. And it is intense. I know it's fake, but it looks like someone is actually doing it. Regardless, it is my favorite part of the movie. The plot is good but not too complicated, the action is phenomenal, the acting is pretty decent and overall....it's a really good movie.
If your in the mood for a really good action movie, Mission Impossible 4 is the way to go. Check it out. Yes indeed.
Stay
We were walking
Just the other day
It was so hot outside
You could fry an egg
Remember you were talking
I watched as sweat ran down your face
Reached up and caught it at your chin
Licked my fingertip
Wasting time
Let the hours roll by
Doing nothing for the fun
Little taste of the good life
Whether right or wrong
Makes us want to stay, stay, stay
For awhile
Later on the sun began to fade
Then the clouds rolled over our heads
And it began to rain
Oh we were dancing mouths open
Splashing tongue taste
For a moment this good time would never end
You and me
You and me
Just wasting time
I was kissing you
You were kissing me love
From good day into a moonlight
Now a night so fine
Makes us wanna stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile
Wasting time
I shall miss these things
When it all rolls by
What a day
Wanna stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile
Hey love
Oh just groping you
Rolling in the mud
Stay a while
Come on love
Wanna stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile
Leslie Mann
Leslie Mann is my April pick for the under appreciated actor. Leslie has been in a bunch of big hit movies, is extremely beautiful and is absolutely hilarious! I mean she would have to be being married to Judd Apatow. She has no problems with taking on the silly Rated R roles that some actresses are too afraid to take. She is so funny and deserves a little more credit. Here are some of her more memorable roles:
- The Cable Guy
- George of the Jungle
- Big Daddy
- Freaks and Geeks (TV)
- Orange County
- 40 Year Old Virgin
- Knocked Up
- Drillbit Taylor
- 17 Again
- Funny People
- The Change Up
Leslie Mann needs to be in more movies and I have no problem if they are anything like the movies that she has already done. So from all of us here at The Yes Indeed Papers, and by all all of us I mean just me, Leslie Mann, we salute you......yes indeed.
