The James Logan Courier

By Michelle Danai, Courier Staff Writer

Hot Tub Machine is definitely better than I expected. Its commercials and title made me expect it to be another idiotic humor-filled movie with scenes duplicated from previous movies about time machines. However, this movie is a great mixture of comedy, fun, "bromance," and reminiscence of the unforgettable 80’s.

The movie was released on March 26 and stars John Cusack, Rob Corddry and Craig Robinson.

Anyone who is a fan of Seth Rogen is truly doing themselves an injustice act if they have not yet watched the movie Pineapple Express.

The movie is currently available on BluRay and DVD and stars Seth Rogen as Dale Denton, a process server, who would much rather enjoy the affects of marijuana, than assume personal responsibility. The rising action in the film begins when Dale has to deliver a subpoena to Ted Jones (Gary Cole), a drug lord. Before he decides to carry out his task, he decides to enjoy a nice smoke of special type of marijuana, known as Pineapple Express. As he is smoking, he witnesses Ted commit a murder. In his fear of being spotted, Dale immediately flees the scene, dropping his rare marijuana. Ted notices that someone has fled the scene, and discovers the blunt that Dale dropped, quickly identifying it as Pineapple Express. He also knows that the only person he sold Pineapple Express to was Red (Danny McBride), who also only sold it to Saul (James Franco), Dale’s dealer.
