Est. 1998
I love “Friends”, for the laughs and the friendship, yes, but it’s the love too! As often as I laugh watching the show, what keeps me watching is how darn touching it can get too! It’s like a weekly dose of premium romantic comedy! You’d think the six stars of the show would have made an easy break into big screen romantic comedies by now,…
Movie Infos Title: Beavis and Butthead Do America Year: 1996 Director: Mike Judge, Yvette Kaplan Huh huh… Heh heh heh… Beavis and Butthead make their big screen debut in this full-length adventure. After their TV is stolen, the moronic duo wanders the streets until they come across some tough guy (voiced by Bruce Willis) who wants to pay them to “do” his wife (Demi Moore)….
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, critics don’t seem to get comedy. Unless humor is sophisticated or serious, they despise comedies, deeming them juvenile or inconsequential. I for one adore comedies, especially all these Saturday Night Live-type ’90s movies. I just love Mike Myers, Norm McDonald, Chris Farley, Adam Sandler and all these guys, and watching movies like “Wayne’s World”, “Tommy Boy”…
Movie Infos Title: Wild at Heart Year: 1990 Director: David Lynch Writer: David Lynch Starring: Nicolas Cage Laura Dern Willem Dafoe Crispin Glover Diane Ladd … Time: 124 min. Genre: Drama / Romance Oh man, that’s one goddamn weird film! Well, it’s from David Lynch, so I guess it ain’t all that surprising. Lynch is that deranged filmmaker behind “Eraserhead”, “Blue Velvet”, “Lost Highway” and…
My favorite film of 1997 was “Jackie Brown”, and watching this earlier Pam Grier vehicle makes me appreciate even more Quentin Tarantino’s picture. I love exploitation flicks, especially blaxploitation, but even I got to admit that these films are often cheap and inept. What they do have is a lot of attitude, ultraviolence, gratuitous sex scenes, terrific style and the best music you could dream…
Movie Infos Title: It could happen to you Year: 1994 Director: Andrew Bergman The world can really suck. Yet, there is still hope. That’s the message of this wonderful, wonderful movie. The two leads are two incredibly nice people, caught in the real world. If everyone was like Charlie and Yvonne, life would be a fairy tale. Unfortunately, they’re surrounded by people who don’t believe…
Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller), he of the famed “Blue Steel” pose, has been the biggest thing in male modelling for the past few years, gracing magazine covers and billboards with his “really really really good looks”, walking down the runways around the world and attending the trendiest parties with the hippest celebrities. Yet now trouble is nigh, with not only the hot new kid on…
Movie Infos Title: Groundhog Day Rating: Year: 1993 Director: Harold Ramis Bill Murray stars as Phil, a cynical, obnoxious weatherman who hates his life in general and his job in particular. His latest assignment, reporting Groundhog Day from the small town of Punxsutawney, doesn’t really help. Everything goes wrong, and that day might be the worst of his life. But things are about to get…
The opening scene, which is straight out of the “Origin” miniseries, does a neat bit of sleight-of-hand and effectively depicts the traumatic childhood event which first triggered Wolverine’s mutant abilities. We then segue into an opening credits sequence which is almost as stunning as the one in “Watchmen”, showing how Wolverine (now played by the ever badass Hugh Jackman) and Sabretooth (Live Schreiber) fought in…
Movie Infos Title: Being John Malkovich Year: 1999 Director: Spike Jonze er … nah …Sorry about that. Here’s a movie that leaves me speechless. Totally astounded. I can hardly review it, as shaken as I am. I’ve seen tons of brilliant movies which affected me in plenty of different ways, but “Being John Malkovich” defies all expectations. It touches you in places you didn’t think…
