Despite the hilarious trailer, star studded cast, and original plot, the movie Dinner For Schmucks is anything but a must-see. Seeming to constantly drag-on, some scenes were actually painful to watch. Perhaps this was the fault of the usually quality actor Paul Rudd, who’s love stricken character constantly seemed to make the audience feel awkward and uneasy.

Or maybe it was the fault of Steve Carrell, who’s preformance as the starring schmuck was so on-point that it actually annoyed the audience to watch him in some scenes. Whatever the reason was, this movie is a waist of your time.

And if these two weren’t reason enough to see the film, the length of it will definitley change your mind. Lasting just under two hours, standing up out of my chair at the end of the film felt the same as when i had finished my first SAT test.

However, there is one redeeming quality to the film. This is the character Kieran, played by Flight Of The Concords star Jemaine Clement. His character Kieran, the beastly artist that works with Paul Rudd’s wife throughout the film delivers the only laughs worth recognizing.

So this week when you’re thinking of going to see a film, remember, DO NOT see Dinner for Schmucks.

Today marks the first of four days this year that ESPN is completely dedicated to airing the X-Games. With dozens of different events in many extreme sport categories, each day will be nothing short of exciting.

Today, day 1 will focus mostly on Moto X, Skateboarding, and BMX. Our pick for favorite event of the day has got to be the Skateboard Big Air Final. This Big Air event is when competitors skateboard off of a huge ramp and do as many of the best tricks they can while in the air. This competition is definitely one of the favorites overall in the week so make sure you tune in or show up at the Coliseum to watch -it starts at about 3pm.

Another thing to watch out for today at the X-Games is Boom Boom. We will be out in full force promoting and educating the public on Boom Boom. So if you’re planning on coming out at all this week, make sure you get your hands on some Boom. It’s the perfect supplement for both the heat from the sun and the extreme levels of athleticism all around.

We hope to see you all out there, now keep it X-treme!

The weekend is here, and for most people, this means that the week long count down has ended. So rather than sitting on your couch and sipping on a few beers, get out and check out some of these awesome places!

• Raging Waters – Los Angeles largest water themed park. Escape the summer heat in sweet water rides that are fun no matter how old you are.
• Griffith Observatory – One of the most visited attractions in Los Angeles, this observatory gives its viewers a first hand glance at the Los Angeles basin below.
