Reel Thursday: This is the End (2013)

This is the End has been re-released in cinemas in the US which started last September 6, 2013. Its DVD was just released last October 1, 2013.


Scene from This is the End, where the hills of Hollywood went in flames.

This is the End stars Jay Baruchel, Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jonah Hill, and Craig Robinson, among others, as their fictional selves. It's about these people being together in James Franco's home when the apocalypse starts. They were left on earth because they suspected that they were not "good enough" to go to heaven and be saved from the apocalypse (though at first, only Jay Baruchel believed this). 


In the screenshot above, we can see (from left to right) Michael Cera (only his back), Paul Rudd, James Franco, Seth Rogen, Mindy Kaling, Jonah Hill, (some guy in blue jacket that I don't recognize), Emma Watson, Aziz Ansari, and Jason Segel. Martin Starr, Rihanna, Kevin Hart, and Channing Tatum also appeared in the movie. Channing Tatum's role was the most shocking and probably the most hilarious in the whole movie. Emma Watson was also as hilarious but I expected for her to have a longer screen time. Another special appearance that I would like to single out will be revealed a bit later in this post.

This movie is just a light-hearted comedy, and I believe that it should not be taken that seriously. Like all other films these people (Seth Rogen, Jonah HIll, Jay Baruchel, etc.) are in (eg. Knocked Up, The Pineapple Express), the humor is quite alike, seeing as this movie is directed, produced, and written by Seth Rogen with Evan Goldberg. I have been waiting for this movie to come out on DVD ever since its trailer because it really got me curious (also because Emma Watson's here).

The special guest that I was talking about earlier was none other than, the Backstreet Boys!


The Backtreet Boys are back, and they performed "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)," which brought back so much memories from my childhood. Boy bands back then were the thing and they were so awesome back then. Now, the only sing and dance boy band that I love are Kpop stars (Bigbang, to be specific). Anyway, find out more on why Backstreet Boys performed at the end of the movie by watching This is the End! It's awesome and real adult hilarious. (find out why I said that, go on, watch it.)
