Grantland Bears Beatdown!

Fourth and Short: Niner’s Dish Out a Recipe of Whoop-ass by Bill Barnwell

 

In this article, Bill Barnwell explains how the 49ers brought their “A” game when they played the Chicago Bears last Monday night on Monday Night Football on national television. Everyone around the league thought the Bears had a defense with no weaknesses. I would say the San Francisco 49ers exploited the Bears defense and made it seem like the whole Bears defense was super super weak. I always knew that the Bears defense was not as good as people say it was because the Packers were struggling at the beginning of the year and even the struggling Packers put up 24 points on the Bears defense and won the game pretty handedly. I kept telling people sooner or later the Bears defense would suffice and become the Bears defense that everyone in the NFC North conference was used to seeing on Sundays.

Next is the quarterback controversy between the 49ers original starter Alex Smith, who didn’t start due to injury, and the 49ers “backup” quarterback Colin Kaepernick who led the 49ers to a big win over the Bears last Monday night. Alex Smith has always been a so –so quarterback since the day he was drafted. He has not brought a lot to the table like he was supposed to. Now with Alex Smith being hurt, Colin Kaepernick stepped up to the plate and hit a home run. If I were the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers I would keep the wheels turning and not look back. I would give Colin the job and say it was his job to lose.

PopMatters Will Ferrel Vs. Zach Galifianakis

The movie review titled, ‘The Campaign’ Gone Awry, by Ben Travers, was a movie review that I could relate to my own personal opinions to a dime. To summarize Travers movie review of The Campaign, Travers basically explains how Will Ferrell is becoming older and his movies aren’t as funny as his previous ones because he is aging and his means of being comical aren’t aging with him. Travers movie review also says that the Campaign is an ok movie and that Zach Galifianakis is the one that makes the movie funny.

I couldn’t have agreed with Travers movie review any more than I already do. When I went to see The Campaign in theaters back in August, I left the theater thinking the same thing. I thought Galifianakis played his part very well and was always making the audience laugh. Then I started to think about Will Ferrell and his part was well just another Will Ferrell part which is always funny and dirty jokes and a couple of swearing punch lines. Those are always funny, but it is the same old Will Ferrell character personality that every movie he is in has. I feel Will Ferrell can still be a comical character in movies if a director finds the right part for him which everyone in the audience has not already seen with one of Ferrell’s previous movies.

Although Travers’ review of The Campaign seems mostly like a negative review, he says it is still a good movie in which I agree, he just says that Will Ferrell’s part was kind of a letdown because he had high expectations in this film.

Pop Culture Journal A.V. Club

The movie review of Paranormal Activity 4 by Scott Tobias from the A.V. Club was of great interest to me. I have seen the first, second, and third Paranormal Activity movies and I have been waiting to get a group of people together to go see the fourth one. All of the other ones have been really good and I can imagine that this one will be good as well. I also agree with Tobias that all though Paranormal Activity might still be scary, it won’t necessarily be “surprising”. I agree with him because all of the movies follow the same plot and same type of movie where it is a bunch or recordings of the many events that occur. I feel that those recording are necessary for the movie, but all of the movies are the same and people can guess what will happen next. After reading Tobias’s review, I feel that the directors of the Paranormal Activity movies need to throw a twist in one of their upcoming movies to throw everyone in their audience off and have the whole world talking once again about how good of a movie Paranormal Activity was. If they would throw one twist in their movies everyone would be so focused on the rest of the movie and the rest of the movies in the future that they could make even more money off of these movies than they already do. I feel they are good movies and I cannot wait to go see Paranormal Activity 4 as soon as I can find a group of people to go with.
