Wordpress Upgraded!

I finally made the painless upgrade of my blog from Wordpress 1.2 to 1.5. Obviously, the look to this site has hardly changed because the theme I was using before, Kubrick, was made the default theme for 1.5. I still want to change up the look a little, so I don’t it isn’t the same as everyone else, but it might be a while. I also still need to add my del.icio.us links and Netflix RSS feeds.

Kudos to the Wordpress team for making this so easy! ;-)

Meet The Fockers (5/10)

Meet the Fockers is the sequel to Meet the Parents, which was a very funny movie starring Robert DeNiro, Blythe Danner, and Ben Stiller, in which Greg (Stiller) has to meet his fiance’s (Teri Polo) parents, Jack and Dina (DeNiro and Danner) so he can ask Jack for her hand in marriage. Sadly enough, Meet the Fockers, even with the extra star power of Dustin Hoffman and Barbara Streisand as Greg’s parents, fails to deliver the goods as well as it’s predecessor.

This movie follows shortly after the first one, and Greg has planned a trip for his fiance and her parents to meet his family before they get married. There is a major clashing of personalities between Jack, who is an uptight former CIA agent, and Greg’s father, a former stay-at-home dad, and mother, a geriatric sex therapist. Since this is a sequel, it has to be compared to the first movie. This one just wasn’t as funny, and the devices that were used to carry the jokes seemed desperate. Sure, there are some funny moments, but the humor is tired since we’ve seen it already.
