In Bruges, An Action Comedy for the Non-American

Friday, August 1, 2008

I can’t think of a time when I had laughed louder, by myself no less, than when watching this brutal and hilarious film. The cast is great and the setting uneasy, and the humor is prickly and skewered, all tightly wrapped in an International climate of mistrust. Colin Farrell and Bendan Gleeson lead the cast as [...]

First off I have to say that I have not laughed this hard in a while. This money has it’s points. For the most it is more oddball humor and silly acting than anything else. But it will make you laugh and that is what a comedy should do. I am glad that I took [...]

Swing Vote - Review

With this being an election year in which the American public must choose between two candidates that could not be more different, the timing is perfect for a movie like Swing Vote. In Swing Vote a Presidential election literally comes down one person’s vote, and the saying that every vote counts was never more true. [...]

By richd Today was a rainy and somewhat gray day so I decided to revisit one of my favorite 80’s comedies. I popped in the 1988 Universal Pictures release entitled The Great Outdoors! I was certain that the combination of John Candy and Dan Aykroyd would be just the ticket to make me laugh. Throw in [...]

INT. WILL FERRELL’S HOUSE – THREE YEARS AGO – DAY WILL – Hey, real-life friend, John C. Reilly? Let’s write a movie and not think about whether the audience will like it or even understand it. JOHN – I am going to punch you square in the face. WILL – Sounds like a yes. *Punch* Step [...]

Harold & Kumar Escape to DVD

I suppose it had to happen: a promising stoner comedy would become just another potty-humor comedy. That’s sadly the case with too much of Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay, due on DVD Tuesday — though, happily, excrement jokes aren’t the whole story. Be advised not to sit down to dinner just as you start the movie, [...]

Little Miss Sunshine Rated R 2006 There ought to be an Academy Award for Best Ensemble Cast. If there were, this film would have it in the bag. It certainly did get its share of nominations, in any case; Best Actress for Abigail Breslin, Best Supporting Actor for Alan Arkin (who won the Oscar), and Best [...]

Another Review for Get Smart

I know this has been done twice, but I think I have a few things to add. I may, for example, be the only one who knows anything about the old TV show! One of the best memories of my childhood was staying up late at night with my little sister and watching syndicated episodes [...]

By richd So I want to say that I am a big fan of superhero movies. Batman Begins, The Incredible Hulk, Hellboy, even My Super Ex-Girlfriend are something that I might not go to the theater to see but I will definitely get from my Blockbuster Total Access account or buy on DVD! With that said, [...]

Meet Dave-Review

What has happened to Eddie Murphy? Do we really need to see “Eddie Murphy, in Eddie Murphy, in Meet Dave”? He doesn’t even resemble the man who was the greatest stand-up comedian I’ve ever seen and has made the three funniest movies I’ve ever seen (48 hours, Coming to American, & Beverly Hills Cop). His [...]
