Adam Sandler’s latest starrer entitled “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” is getting mixed reviews. According to New York Times’ A.O. Scott - the movie is “The finest post-Zionist action-hairdressing sex comedy I have ever seen.”
On the other hand, Brian Lowry from Variety.com said that “Zohan is too silly to justify genuine anger. The more pressing thought as the movie drags on, rather, is an amended version of (Michael) Buffer’s signature boxing bellow, as in, “Let’s get ready to exit!”
On its first opening week, the movie already earned $38.5 million and landed the second spot in the box office charts, next to the animated movie “Kung Fu Panda”.
I guess loyal Adam Sandler fans like me did manage to find something good to watch about the movie - despite the mixed reviews. Check out the movie for yourself and see if you will find excellent - or crude humor - in Adam’s take on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” also stars John Turturo, Rob Schnieder, Emmanuelle Chiriqui, Nick Swardson and Lainie Kazan.
I just recently saw the New York Times review of “The Boat”, a book which is penned by Nam Le. Instead of containing one entire novel, the book is a collection of stories which was tagged by the NY Times as a “world of stories from a son of Vietnam”. I just recently bought a copy for myself because I found the premise of the book interesting. As a ‘frustrated novelist’ myself, I am fascinated with how semi-novels or short stories are written and how an entire plot can be summarized into that many number of pages on a book.
Anyway, I am starting to read the opening story of the book which is entitled “Love and Honor and Pity and Pride and Compassion and Sacrifice”. I admit to being guilty of skipping the pages and proceeding directly to the “Love and Honor” part because it was so poignantly described in the review. I am enjoying what I have read so far and I promise to go back on the other pages that I skipped and tell you more about it soon.
