JimG944 says "Superhero Movie: Dragonfly man to the rescue" about Superhero Movie

JimG944 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:44:22 GMT

4 of 5 stars for the comedy parity Superhero Movie. I love a good parity movie! Any movie with Leslie Nielsen is one that I will enjoy! The main theme is a geeky highschool guy is bitten by a radioactive dragonfly and gains superhero powers. Sound like a famous comic book? Yep. We have the beautiful girlfriend and a bad guy. Lots of bad puns, silly jokes, sight gags and odd-ball humor. My one piece of advise is to carefully watch the background of each scene; often the funny stuff is shown behind the foreground action.

Easy on the brain, funny and entertaining. Worth the watching.

BigMamaLin says "DEATH BECOMES HER IS GUT WRENCHING FUNNY" about Death Becomes Her

BigMamaLin — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 12:30:35 GMT

I JUST LIKE A GOOD MOVIE EVERY NOW & THEN. THIS MOVIE WAS EXCELLENT. THE ACTING AND THE COMEDY WERE TIMED PERFECTLY. NOT ONLY WAS THE DIALOGUE FUNNY BUT THE MAKEUP WAS PERFECT. THESE ARE ALL GOOD LOOKING WOMEN BUT THEY WERE REALLY UGLY ALL WRINKLED. WHEN GOLDIE FELL DOWN THE STEPS BECAUSE HER LEGS WERE FALLING APART THAT WAS GUT WRENCHING FUNNY. GOLDIE WITH THE HOLE IN HER STOMACH WAS PURE GENIUS. EVERYTHING JUST CAME TOGETHER SO WELL, THE WRITING, THE DIRECTING, AND THE TIMING WITH THE COSTUMES AND THE MAKE UP. ANYONE WHO DOESN'T THINK THIS MOVIE WAS FUNNY IS REALLY SICK OR LIVING A SAD LIFE.

JimG944 says "Paul Blart Mall Cop Blu-Ray: a great commercial for Segway" about Paul Blart: Mall Cop

JimG944 — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:41:46 GMT

3 of 5 stars for the shopping mall police story Paul Blart Mall Cop. Another way to look at this comedy movie is a 1.5 hour commercial for Segway scooter. OK, Kevin James plays Paul Blart Mall Cop. Of course, Paul has a crush on a girl working in the mall. Blart is shown to be training a new hire who later is part of a group who invade the Mall taking hostages and robbing the bank. With the parking lot full of SWAT teams, it is Blart to the rescue of the girl and saving the mall. This is a cutely dumb movie. A bit funny. Easy on the brain and worth the time to watch it.

JimG944 says "House Bunny Blu-Ray: Bunny saves college sorority" about House Bunny

JimG944 — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:28:35 GMT

3 of 5 stars for the comedy movie House Bunny. A cute story about a girl living at the Playboy Mansion in LA hoping for her big break in the magazine. Another girl tricks her into leaving the Mansion by sending a forged letter from Hef. Ultimately she finds her way to a college and a sorority of the down-and-out girls on campus. With alot of remakes, our Bunny turns the sorority into the cool-place-to-be.Of course a rival sorority attempts to compete. Eventually, Hef figures out what happened and invites her to return. Of course, her heart is now with the sorority.

So, why three stars for this comedy. Two stars for the movie and one extra star for the short, sexy outfits and hot girls. Oh, should mention that American Idol near-winner Katharine McPhee has a part in the movie as a very pregnant college girl. OK, it is easy on the brain, great for the eyes and is generally entertaining. Yes, watch it.

JimG944 says "Black Knight on DVD: Lawrence as a knight of today and yesterday" about Black Knight

JimG944 — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 12:33:31 GMT

3 of 5 stars for the comedy movie Black Knight. A worker (Martin Lawrence) in a medieval theme park finds himself transported back in time to the 1300's (Middle Ages) after getting a bump on his head. Finding himself between several factions and even a plot to overthrow the king, our hero "Skywalker" even has a beautiful maiden to rescue.

Well photographed, well written and pretty funny at times, this movie is easy on your brain and entertaining. Lawrence is good and fun to watch. Yes, this is a good movie and worth watching.

JimG944 says "Death Becomes Her: See right thru Hawn" about Death Becomes Her

JimG944 — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 01:45:29 GMT

3 of 5 stars for the comedy movie Death Becomes Her. How can you not like a movie where Goldie Hawn walks around with a shotgun made hole thru her tummy--yep, you can see right through it. Oh, and when she sits down on a couch and the long wooden handle from a tool pokes right thru. This is a star packed movie (Willis, Hawn, Streep and Caine). The story line is that Hawn & Streep want to drink a "foutain-of-youth" potion (from Isabelle Rossellini). They both need Willis to do "make-up" and body repairs. Ultimately the girls decide the Willis needs to live forever also to continue taking care of them. Well, Willis has other ideas. This is a well written movie. Well acted and richly photographed. Funny and worth watching!

JimG944 says "America's Sweethearts DVD: Star Packed Comedy" about America's Sweethearts

JimG944 — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 02:00:15 GMT

4 of 5 stars for the star-packed comedy movie America's Sweethears. What a cast of stars: Zeta-Jones, Roberts, Crystal, Arkin, Walken, Cusack. Mostly filmed on location at the Hyatt Lake Las Vegas, this comedy is about two movie stars who were a couple making their last big film. The focus of the movie is the launch of the new film and the benefits ($$) of the two (Cusack & Zeta-Jones) getting back together as America's Sweethearts. To complicate matters ZJ is now dating a stud (Azaria) and Cusack is in love with ZJ's sister (Julia Roberts). Throw in a crazy nutcase movie director (Walken), some slimy PR guys (Arkin, Crystal) and you have funny situations. Well written, well produced and great acting combined for a fun movie. I do recommend this movie!

JimG944 says "What the heck is a transfunctioner?" about Dude, Where is My Car?

JimG944 — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 22:26:23 GMT

3 of 5 stars for the funny but dumb sort-of sci-fi movie Dude, Where is My Car? This movie combines Ashton Kutcher with Seann William Scott (American Pie fame) in the lead roles as "stoners" who forgot what happened last night. On their journey to discover the past, they find an interesing trail of money, women, aliens and other strange people/characters. Let's not forget that Jennifer Garner appears in the movie as a girlfriend. We specially liked the 5 alien women in the black jumpsuits. A wild, funny, odd and interesting movie. I do recommend this one! Oh, what the heck is a transfunctioner?

JimG944 says "Two strange guys as Role Models" about Role Models

JimG944 — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 11:24:52 GMT

3 of 5 stars for the comedy movie Role Models. Take Seann William Scott (American Pie fame) and add Paul Rudd and you have the "Bigs" (aka the role models). How did we get there? OK, these two guys have the job of doing school road-shows to sell the kids an "Energy Drink". Well, buzzed on the drink, the guys get into some ah ah trouble. The judge says, community service with a group called "Sturdy Wings" (a "big brother" kind of group). So our two heros get paired as "Bigs" for two problem kids.

Rudd's kid is into live acting fantasy combat (like dungeons and dragons). Scott's kid as a bad attitude. Needless to say, our heros are not into doing this community service work. The movie is all about how the "Bigs" grow and develop helpful relationships with the kids ("Littles"). It is fun how the four come together at the end to help each other.

A funny, nice and entertaining movie. Oh, I should point out that it has adult themes and some nudity so it is really a movie for "Bigs" not "Littles"....
