Our films deals with the separation of a long time married couple Cal (Steve Carell) and Emily (Julianne Moore), after Emily admits to sleeping with her co-worker David (Kevin Bacon). Cal is distraught and he moves out, he spends night after night pouting away at a bar until this catches the attention of suave ladies man Jacob (Ryan Gosling). Jacob takes Cal under his wing, gives him a make-over and confidence he didn’t know he had. All the while Jacob falls for Hannah (Emma Stone), a law student whom he sees at the bar one night. There are a bunch of other little sub plots that all come together at the end.

This film does have a lot going on, and while watching I wasn’t sure that it needed so many sub-plots but I knew in some way things would all make sense at the end, they do. This is a smart film, while still being funny and light-hearted. It is about family, and finding ones self after a crisis. It is clear that our main couple love each other, but seemed to have lost their way. All their actions seem logical, and the mistakes they make aren’t easy to watch but also comical. The intention isn’t to be a serious drama, it wants to remain fun. I think it balances these thing quite cleverly, and there is never a dull moment.

The cast is splendid, Steve Carell and Julianne Moore actually made for a very convincing couple. They had great chemistry together, and it was a couple that you didn’t want to see go their separate ways. Carell especially was very grounded here, he wasn’t over the top and he was a likeable guy. Julianne Moore looked beautiful, her character was flawed and she played it naturally. Emily was likeable as well, and the problems the couple faced did leave either of them in a position to be disliked by the audience. I liked this approach, it felt normal and unforced.

The stand out though was Ryan Gosling, he shows just what a versatile actor he can be. Coming off of a serious dramatical role with Blue Valentine, he’s much more relaxed here. He has great comedic timing, and the back and forth between himself and Carell was just pure gold. I am pretty sure that Gosling can do no wrong, I don’t remember this man ever giving a bad performance even if the film he was in wasn’t that good. Emma Stone has a smaller role, but she is really good as well. She’s likeable and cute, and was a welcome addition to the cast. Marissa Tomei was a little over the top, but she was still adorable and it was fun to see her. Kevin Bacon was playing sort of against type, and like Gosling proves he is a versatile actor.

I highly recommend Crazy, Stupid, Love; this is something that I think everyone can enjoy. It isn’t solely aimed at women, I think it has enough to appeal to both sexes without making any compromises. The characters for the most part feel real and easily relatable. It is fun, honest, and a breeze to sit through. This is the type of film that I can easily welcome into my collection.

I still remember rushing home from high school to tune in to Carson Daly’s “TRL” (“Total Request Live,” in case you’ve forgotten). Don’t laugh; Backstreet Boys versus ‘NSYNC produced some epic battles. I still remember when videos premiered on MTV at one specific time rather than going viral on YouTube. I still remember when reality TV meant “The Real World: New York” – yes, the first one.

But there were two other evenings out of the year when MTV took time out from videos to show some live programming – the MTV Video Music Awards, honoring the best in music video that year, and the MTV Movie Awards, honoring the best in cinema that year.

I will admit that in my teens, I actually preferred the MTV Movie Awards to the Oscars. At 15, they seemed so much, well, cooler, than the stuffy, pompous, overly-important Oscars. The nominees were actors and actresses I actually cared about and movies I’d actually seen. They didn’t take themselves so seriously, and I think that’s what I liked about it.

Of course, in my 20s, I had a change of heart. I became one of those people who went to see the stuffy, pompous, overly-important movies nominated for Oscars and discussed them with equally pompous friends over red wine or cappuccinos. Suddenly the MTV Movie Awards seemed so … pedestrian.

Now that I’m in my 30s, I’ve come to the conclusion that I can love (and watch) both of them. I started watching the MTV Movie Awards again when the cast of my favorite vampire saga started dominating the list of nominees, and I remembered how fun that awards so was – and still is. The categories themselves are certainly unique – you’re not going to find categories like Best Villain or Best Kiss at the Oscars. The musical performances are always interesting, and the acceptance speeches are often entertaining. What’s not to like?!

Here’s a look at some of the highlights from this year’s MTV Movie Awards, held on June 5:

• Best Win: Emma Stone for Best Comedic Performance. I think this win was well deserved. The movie is hilarious, and she is hilarious in it – in a completely endearing way. Any woman who can make Hester Prynne seem cool is a comedic genius.
• Best Acceptance Speech: Reese Witherspoon accepting the generation award. She took her award seriously, speaking to the generation of actresses who came up after her, telling them that, in essence, being good is cool. She asked today’s female celebrities to act like the role models they are, saying that she’s not embarrassed by her squeaky clean image. And she did it all with style and grace while still slipping in an expletive. Now that takes talent!
• Favorite Awkward Moment: Best Kiss. So, it should come as no surprise at this point that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart won this award … again … and didn’t kiss onstage (as is the MTV tradition) … again. It was hands down one of the funniest moments of the night when Pattinson said that he thought there was someone who deserved it more – and then ran out into the audience and kissed Taylor Lautner. Which brings me to …
• MTV Movie Awards MVP: Robert Pattinson. Maybe it’s just because The Twilight Saga: Eclipse seemed to dominate the entire show, but it seemed like Pattinson was everywhere – on stage accepting awards, presenting the trailer for Breaking Dawn, and attempting to speaking poetically about costar Reese Witherspoon. It was awkward. It was kind of strange. And it was really funny. I still haven’t figured out whether or not there was liquid courage involved or if he was just incredibly nervous, but it made for an entertaining evening and some memorable quotes.

So, you tell us – what were your favorite (or not-so-favorite) moments from the awards show?

Unfortunately, neither of Raimi’s films ever did. However, Marc Webb’s upcoming 3D reboot will be taking a different route than Raimi by giving the Wall-Crawler a more realistic and darker tone. Sony has finally announced that Marc Webb’s reboot has officially been titled The Amazing Spider-Man during a press release (via Cinema Blend). Also, the official website has launched giving us an official look at the full costume (see picture).

The film star Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, and Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Connor/The Lizard. Filming is currently underway for a release on July 3rd, 2012.

Although, many have also doubted this idea could work on film, but it’s too early to say at this point.

So does Andrew Garfield feel like Peter Parker yet?
