Shrek is a wonderful parody of every fairytale story that you can think
of, for the kids it has charm, humour and tons of fun, and is a
delightful film for them to enjoy. In addition, Shrek has plenty of
subtle innuendo and more adult themes running seamlessly along side the
story, much of which may pass younger children by, without spoiling any
element of their enjoyment; whil...

READY TO RUMBLE (2000)
Rating: 7/10First of all, I'll just say I'm glad I didn't see this at the movies. When I
go to the movies I generally only go by myself or with one other friend, but
Ready to Rumble is much more enjoyable when you have 5 or 6 other friends
and you're watching it at a party. In that environment, I really got into
this flick. Anyhow, I thought this movie ha...

It takes guts to make a sequel to a movie after 20 years, especially
after the original has become a legend and the star has died since.However this movie does a lot of things right and frankly, even if it
had been perfect, some people would hate it anyway. The film suffers
from not having John Belushi, but John Goodman puts in a good effort,
and I for one was surprised at the qual...

Well, I'd give this a 6 out of 10 because I love Christmas, but
really
the plot was fairly thin and wasn't this same idea run through in John
Hughes "Dutch (aka Driving Me Crazy) - kid doesn't want to go home (for
Thanksgiving in that movie), but then he has all sorts of adventures on the
road on his way home and learns his lesson, etc, etc.The only problem with this movie is t...

It's rare for a cop movie to combine elements from "The Untouchables",
"Thelma & Louise" and "The Brady Bunch".Unless, of course, the lead character has a tendency to run his car into
parking meters."The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult" brings the lofty trilogy to a close
with the same old cast (Kennedy, Simpson, Presley) and slapstick antics
involving a prison breakout, terrori...

One of my least favorite experiences is to find a movie I loved in my
single-digits, rewatch it in wonder, then wait half an hour (at most)
and finally concede that it was a real stinker. I may sentimentalize
movies from my youth, but not the ones that really don't deserve my
affection.This one does.Crysta, a simple, innocent, and at times flippant fairy, is an

Dutch is fantastic because Ed O'Neill, the star of the movie, is a fantastic
comedian, and an underrated one at that (but then again, Hollywood does
recycle the same cast over and over, so it's no surprised you never see him
in too many major motion pictures). And though Christopher MacDonald, who
play's Doyle's father is a real creep, he is a great comedian as well, and
you ju...

This film is often looked back on as not only the lesser of the two
Gremlins flicks but not a very good movie in general. I just don't
understand it -- I love this movie! It successfully continues the
underlying theme of the original (unlike a lot of sequels which seem to
forget their points entirely): "gremlins" are mythical creatures blamed for
mechanical errors (if an appl...

I noticed that many of the comments on this film were negative. Those
people need to loosen up and get "just the facts." Maybe I see more of the
humor because I am a law enforcement officer, but this film is a scream. It
takes everything that the original series did, and does it with tongue
firmly planted in cheek. Dan Ackroyd's deadpan Jack Webb impersonation is a
riot, as...

After a lifetime of watching movies and searching for the greatest moment
in
cinematic history, I've finally found it. Is it Orson Welles' breathless
death-rattle of `. . . rosebud.' In Citizen Kane? No. How about Al
Pacino
giving Fredo the kiss of death in Godfather II? Try again. What about
Peter Finch screaming into the Network camera `I'm mad as hell, and I'm

In the wake of his Cannes Best Director award for The General, Boorman's
stunning debut has been released with a new print. Unrelentingly downbeat,
this stylish crime thriller made in 1967 seems to have fuelled virtually
Elmore Leonard novel.Steely, panther-like hitman Walker (marvellous Marvin) has been fitted up,
shot at and had $93,0000 stolen from him all because of ex-pal Mal ...

On the Nutty Professor DVD extras, Jerry Lewis says that he had been
"enthralled with Jekyll and Hyde" since he was a kid. So it's only
logical that he'd long to create this "Jekyll and Hyde comedy/musical".
Oddly, The Nutty Professor tends to be read as only a comedy, in the
modern colloquial sense of that genre term, as "a film that's supposed
to make you laugh", but there's ...

Stewart Granger in his memoirs said he was very glad to receive the
role of George Pratt when he did and was always grateful to John Wayne
who got him cast in the part. He had just left MGM and offers were not
piling up. Granger's career was in a transitional stage and he would
soon take off for Europe and all kinds of spaghetti westerns. Right at
that point he needed a pay...

1958 and 'The Fly'. Who could ever forget it. At the age of 9 or so, I
was
a horror movie veteran, or so I thought. I would attend the Saturday
matinees of a local theater, armed with my THIRTY FIVE CENTS, which was
good
for an admission, a huge coke and a Butterfinger as long as my forearm.The theater was, as usual, very dark and of the 3,000 seats, 2996 we
