Beforehand I found Cameron Diaz as the lead character in a raunchy
comedy off putting. I was pleasantly surprised I neither wanted to stab
her or myself after seeing this movie. She pulls off the recently
dumped, vulgar, Junior High teacher off pretty well.Diaz stars as the titular teacher Elizabeth Halsey. Her fiancé dumps
her very early on in an unexpected tone setting scene...

If you've ever worked in a restaurant, then you probably already know
that "Waiting..." was perhaps one of the best stress relievers for the
job. From the rude, dehumanizing customers, to the sick-minded
line-cooks, right down the melodramatic wait-staff, it covered all the
bases. And most importantly, it was hilarious front to back and was
good for many a repeat viewing. W...

Kudos to the casting agents for this one -- it's fun and lively and
moves along steadily to the predictable happy ending, but along the way
the dialogue is snappy, witty, and oddly believable. Why so? Hard to
believe, but it was the great chemistry of the two bromantic leads!
They play off each other perfectly, and because they're sharply versed
with each other, it'...

I saw this movie at a preview event last Friday night and it was
hilarious. The sold out cinema was laughing hysterically throughout the
movie. The movie is fast paced and does not drag. The comedy is "r"
rated with a little raunchy adult humor that can be shocking at times
but that is in line with the movies theme of male/female relationships.Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler were...

Being lucky, I already saw "Yes Man" and was pleasantly surprised. Jim
Carrey is not really my all time favorite (despite his comic talent and
acting skills), but in this movie he seems to have hit the spot.The story itself is really simple: Carl (Jim Carrey), a very negative
man, goes to a meeting among the very positive Yes people, whose
charismatic leader (Terence Stamp) preache...

I gave this movie 10 stars to counter some of the 1-star reviews, but I
think it garners a solid 7 nonetheless. I don't know what those who
rated it so poorly were expecting, but for me, it was just what I
expected - enough chuckles to be entertaining, pretty Christmas
scenery, and a touching story. My 17 and 12-year-old sons liked it as
well. I thought Vince Vaughn played ...

The Break-Up is a highly watchable drama that contains elements of
cleaver comedy. Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Anniston put in solid
performances in a film that feels strikingly real at times.The Break-up does not play out as a light-hearted comedy with a
predictable wrap-up in the last five minutes. The Break-Up reveals the
very human side of a failed relationship and its potential<...

There is something both enchanting and disorienting about watching a
Christopher Guest film that features conventional camera angles and a
narrative structure. It is a brave, and ultimately, a rewarding choice
for a director who has built his impeccable reputation on the strength
of his mockumentaries.Like its predecessors Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, and A Mighty
Wind, F...

I'm a huge Jim Carrey fan; I've found with most people that you are or
you aren't. If you aren't a Carrey fan than this film may not be for
you...I was very anxious for this film to come out once I heard it was in
production; however, after I saw a couple of reviews on TV it appeared
to be another clich...

Why is Wesley Snipes sharing screen time with Ryan Reynolds and Jessica
Biel? Who cares about Hannibal King? I paid to see Blade kick butt,
just like in Blade 1 and 2. I didn't pay to see Ryan Reynolds joke for
half the film. I didn't pay to see Jessica Biel (hottest body in
Hollywood) fake fight. Who cares about Whistler's daughter? Blade the Vampire Hunter was a good film. Strong...

amongst
my favorite films from the 2004 selections.A real killer diller, can really play, according to Vernon (Lucas Black),

Best robot film ever. This really is a great film, which shows how a
machine who strangely is endowed with creativity, thought and awareness
unlike other robots, strives to become more than he is. This is a great
film and very much about family life, emotions, what it means to be
human, and trying to better oneself through both serving others and
learning with others about ones...

OK this is going to be a bit long... but it will be good food for
discussions.Yes, this movie is "Hollywood". The Plot line is predictable, but it is
the concepts that the director explores along the way that make it
interesting an thought-provoking, assuming you pay attention and didn't
just rent it for the bang-bang, or a chance to see Demi in a wet
T-shirt. Ridley make some ...

Rarely can film satire make you laugh and be worried about the future
at the same time. Levinson's film does just that, with a great cast and
great writing, this film succeeds.You may have noticed that many of the posts and reviews argue that this
is not plausible. Obviously these posters do not realize that satire is
supposed to be over the top and show what can happen in extremes...
