Hey, I'm Charlie Bartlett and this is my blog about teen movies, music, videos, personal rants. Feel free to make a request or ask advice and dont forget to register!
People used to call me Kumar back in high school because they said I talked a lot like the way he does (brutality honest) LOL, but that’s not why I love this movie. If you’ve ever been so high that a trip to the bathroom seems like forever, then you’ll get most of the jokes in here. Sure, it’s a stoner flick (the plot revolves around 2 pot-heads and their quest to find fastfood) but it’s still a great comedy movie even when you aren’t stoned. If you ask me, this should be required viewing for any college student because it has a great message: all you really need to have a good time is some good weed and a good friend!
You can watch the original version online or download the Extreme Unrated version below.
Contrary to what you may be expecting, this isn’t some lame flick about “a chick that roller-skates.” It’s got some great scenes in it that capture suburban family issues PERFECTLY. I may be a guy, but when Ellen Page has a fight with her mother I can relate SOOO much to it. Hell, I think we all can. It’s a shame that this movie didn’t get the box office sales it deserved because it’s got the makings of a cult classic: comedy/drama/growing pains/sports/romance/indie rock/Drew Barrymore… shit, it even makes Jimmy Fallon look funny and he’s NEVER funny!!! On a side note, when this movie was released in the theaters, me and my sis had to drive 25 miles from my house and go to some random indie movie cinema just because no mainstream ones were playing it.
Bill Maher is probably the most famous celebrity-atheist and one of my heroes. In this documentary he goes around to some of the most religious places and reveals all the hypocrisy of the people there. This is one of those movies that can turn an agnostic into an atheist. I wish I would have seen something like this years ago.

Ok um WHAT THE FUCK!??? Apparently John Hughes died back in August and nobody told me! Damn this is bad news. For those of you who don’t know who John Hughes was he was basically the 80’s king of teen movies. (he directed Ferris Bueller, Breakfast Club etc.) Ok, I think I’m gonna cry now. Jk, but seriously, this guy was important. Here’s a 9-minute compilation of some of the greatest scenes from his movies sit back and enjoy.
If you see one George Carlin special, make sure it’s this. This is a re-cap of his career that was done in 1997 and hosted by Jon Stewart. Clips of some of Carlin’s most legendary performances can be seen in this special.

So, I saw the Hangover about a week ago and I couldn’t stop thinkin…where have I seen this before? Yeah, it was kinda funny, but it had a lot of stereotypes and unrealistic moments (like when they got handed tuxedos from some random van on the highway JUST in time for the wedding). Observe and Report was sooo much funnier, but it didn’t get nearly as much attention as The Hangover did. Anyways, I stumbled across this clip and hit hit me- The Hangover is a rip-off of Dude Where’s My Car!
I wanted to see Adventureland in the theatres because I heard it was from the director of Superbad, so I just HAD to watch it. But by the time I got around to it, all the movie theaters near my house didn’t have it playing anymore (probably because of the release of fucking Transformers 2 which sucked ASS). When I finally got to watch it, it turned out to be COMPLETELY different from what I was expecting. Don’t believe the trailers, this is a ROMANCE movie NOT Superbad 2.
Yeah it’s a “geek gets the girl” movie, but in a pretty realistic way. Another good thing about it is it’s set in the 80’s and has 80’s music so it king of reminded me of John Hughes movies (Breakfast Club, Ferris Beuller’s Day Off). Plus it’s got Kristen Stewart from Twilight in it (who is hot as always). If you’re ever had a shitty job that you put up with because of the cool people you got to work with, then you can relate to this movie.
This dramedy movie gets better every time I see it (ok, I’ve only seen it twice, but it’s true). The dialogue is so real it’s almost like the writer spied on my family to inspire some of these characters. The music is great too. If you’re wondering why it’s rated “R” it’s because there talk about suicide and a lot of “fucks”. If it were up to me, this film would be a PG-13.
I’ll admit, this movie doesn’t have the best acting in it at times (it’s made by MTV for fuck sake), but it was requested and it does bring up an important point that promising not to have sex or “abstinence” as the church-goers call it, isn’t really practical in today’s society. If you still don’t believe me, then watch The Education Of Shelby Knox. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a 19 year old virgin. Yeah, I said it, VIRGIN and I can safely say that the only reason why I haven’t gotten laid yet is because no girl has yet agreed to have sex with me; NOT because I choose to not have sex.
Think about it, if you take away all the superficial pressures about sex: the fear of STDs and pregnancy, the rumors spread in school, the false belief that you must be “in love” to get it on, or that some non-existent all-powerful being will punish you for fucking (God), then sex is just a feel-good activity.
It’s an interesting fact that most people who choose to participate in a pledge for abstinence in high school deny that they ever did 5 years later. It’s the 21st century people! Use protection, fuck with someone you trust, and I’m positive you’ll be fine.
