I have a bad feeling about this.

It's a spoof to be certain, but of what?  War films?  The ails of the movie industry?  Or both?

Hard action meets stoner comedy. That is how my friend described “Pineapple Express” as we were walking out of the theater, and he could not have put it more perfectly.Seth Rogen plays Dale Denton, a process server on the run from a drug lord and the police after witnessing a murder. James Franco plays Saul Silver, Dale’s weed dealer, who also has to run because he is the only one who sells the type of marijuana Dale left at the crime scene. What is so great about this pairing is that Seth Rogen actually plays (I use this term pretty loosely, though) the straight man. Don’t get me wrong, he’s still very funny, but James Franco completely steals the show. Both main characters are high throughout the whole movie, which makes for most of it being very repeatable one-liners.One of the best things about this movie is the action. Most people would not expect good fight scenes from a movie this hilarious, but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of them. The action was both funny and brutal, kind of like “First Blood” meets “Half Baked.”I’ll leave you with the fact that I am basically a hermit and do...

Ann Brashares’ book series returns to the big screen in a romantic comedy about four girls carving their individual paths through their college years. Carmen, Bridget, Tibby, and Lena have been friends since childhood, and ever since finding a curious pair of jeans that just happened to fit all of them, they’ve been kept united by their pact—to wear them through their everyday activities, and then to ship them off to the next person in the rotation along with a note describing what benefit they brought them while worn.

First off, I have to say that this is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen! I literally laughed from beginning to end of this film!Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly star as Brennan Huff and Dale Doback, two 40-year-old men brought together by the marriage of Brennan’s mom and Dale’s dad. Since both still live at home (and act like 10-year-olds), they do not adapt well to their new living arrangements. Forced to share a room, they immediately begin pulling pranks and trying to make the other’s life as miserable as possible.When Dale meets Brennan’s obnoxiously smug brother, Derek, they find a common enemy to rally against and become best friends, doing everything together from going on job interviews to planning their own production company. After certain events cause them to grow up and act like adults, the movie ends in a blaze of operatic glory. Make sure to stay a while after the credits start to see the epic battle scene!Reilly and Ferrell, as well as the supporting cast, have amazing comedic energy and timing, which leaves no room for dull moments or lulls in laughter. So many of the scenes are wrong in all the...

Joker to Rachel Dawes, "Well, hello beautiful... you've got some fight in you, I like that." That sentence pretty much explains The Dark Knight. It is the Empire Strikes Back of the Batman films. It compliments and extends Batman Begins beautifully. It also begins to build on less about Batman as person, which what the first film focused on, and starts with Batman's purpose in Gotham. Is he a criminal? Is he a cop? Where does he stand with the law? It's all answered in this film. The mob in Gotham has started to run scared. The deals they usually do in the evening hours have to be pushed to the daylight because Batman is always on patrol during the evening. Doing illegal activities is basically getting risky for everyone. Add this problem with the new district attorney for Gotham, Harvey Dent, who wants criminals taken in just as much as Batman, and the poor mob has nothing to turn to... except one man. Having robbed the group of criminals/thugs in one bank, the Joker proposes that the mob let him kill Batman, which they reluctantly oblige because they are desperate at this point. Clearly crazy and on the loose, the Joker...

It's my mom's fault, really.  There was little to no reason for a kid growing up in the 80's to be entertained by a show broadcast in the 60's.  But, you see, I was a huge fan of Inspector Gadget, and when my mother pointed out the similarity between the voice of Inspector Gadget and the drone of Maxwell Smart, I was hooked.  Hell, the show often featured a man talking into his shoe, which, even for a five year old, was hilarious.  The late Don Adams breathed an appreciation for television’s past into my childhood, so much that I was willing to skip football practice so I could watch the premier of the ill-fated Get Smart television revival in 1995.  While that televised "effort" was an incident of epic proportions, I hoped the 2008 cinematic revival would fair considerably better.

Acting helps keep a story strong, of course it can't work if the story isn't completely there.

There's a moment in The Love Guru where Mike Myers stares into Jessica Alba's eyes and asks, "Do you trust me?"  "Yes, I do," she responds, "but I'm not really sure why."  Thus is the lingering issue with Mike Myers.  Myers' writing/acting career blossomed with Wayne’s World, found mainstream success with Austin Powers, and then was finally put out of its misery  after two more rounds of  Austin Powers.  Myers' unique brand of humor, though once inspired, slowly began to overlap itself as it was barraged against audiences ad nauseum.  The trailers made his new film seem to look somewhat amusing.  So much that I thought that, quite possibly, he could sing some new notes instead of rehearsing the same tired song.  But I'm not really sure why.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last month, you know the plot of the Sex and the City movie is that Carrie and Big get engaged. The big debate, however, is whether or not they actually go through with the wedding. To find that out, you will have to see the movie, and if you’re a Sex and the City fan, I can assure you that you will enjoy every minute!

With Iron Man setting the trend for summer films, you would hope that movies like Speed Racer and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull could follow the success. Well, it is already been proven that Speed Racer couldn't handle it, so that leaves us Dr. Jones and his newest adventure. Could it live up to the previous films?

Simplicity! Simplicity! Simplicity! That is the key to a good comic book movie. That's not a knock on Iron Man either, it is the truth proven through the movie. Jon Favreau has redeemed himself from the Daredevil debacle.
