Fun with Dick and Jane

We might be in a little bit of a pickle, Dick.

Ah, finally a movie with Jim Carrey where he doesn’t overact every scene. Not that I’m complaining, sometimes I really enjoy a good Jim Carrey irrelevant comedy, but there are other times that I really don’t. Fortunately, this movie is able to retain its comic value even with only one or two scenes of Jim’s usual interchangeable type of comedy. Directed by Dean Parisot and starring Jim Carrey, Tea Leoni, and Alec Baldwin, this movie is a …

Battlefield 2: Special Forces

Some of you may already know how I feel about Battlefield 2. I’m pretty sure my neighbors know what I think about it. But in case you’re one of the lucky people that don’t know, I’ll give you my condensed gripe. If it wasn’t for the whole on-foot combat deal, it would be a good game. But for some reason they thought battles should have troops and firearms, causing controls that are non-responsive, weapons that are “realistic AND balanced,” and many temptations to put my fist …

Kill Bill: Vol. 1

If you don’t understand the humor behind it all, take that stick out of your ass and try again.

Quentin Tarantino, you genius, you’ve outdone yourself again. Just like Reservoir Dogs outdid Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction outdid Reservoir Dogs, this fantastic tale outdid even Pulp Fiction. And that’s saying an awful lot. Because Pulp Fiction is the shit. Yeah. Anyway, back to the review. From the very first scene of this movie right until the gripping cliffhanger at the very end, you will be …

The Hills Have Eyes

…and the valleys got stuck with the ass-crack.

Wes Craven, at what point did you go crazy? Because it must have been sometime before this movie. The master of horror himself let me down. Of course, he only is credited as the writer of this movie, as it’s an update of his 1977 horror flick of the same name. But if I was Wes, I would have told director Alexandre Aja to cram it up his ass instead of putting my name on this piece of trash. …

Shrek

Delightful

Here’s a movie that I forgot to review a long time ago, and one that is certainly due for it’s additional fifteen minutes in the spotlight (as if this review could be considered the spotlight, right?) I can only review this movie on the basis that it is quite possibly the best animated movie of all time. Right up there with Emperor’s New Groove (review coming soon, my minions).* Shrek really dazzles the audience with original humor, excellent voice over and even very believable animation, right from the …
