The physical comedy was outstanding and the acting itself was pitch perfect.

Many critics commented on how well they did given what they had to work with, but I think the script was excellent.

Some of the lines were brilliant, but you really have to give the actors credit for improvising.

After Ferrell revealed his singing talents when he sang “Let’s Give ‘Em Something to Talk About”, when Reilly gushed on and on about how great he was, and then said “I’m not sure, but towards the end I think I saw you turn into a Unicorn”, I lost it.

I really lost it when Ferrell’s brother & his family were singing in the car “Sweet Child of Mine”. It was a real classic.

Hell, I think I’ll buy this when it comes out on DVD.

Don’t miss this one. It’s a scream. its magic!

He Was a Quiet Man draws on one of the most morbid aspects of our society and describes it perfectly.

Christian Slater plays the quiet cubicle worker, who, abused and mistreated by his coworkers, decides to shoot up the office.

Fortunately for him, another man in his position takes aim first, and Slater takes him down with the bullets he had originally meant for his coworkers.

After the aftermath, his coworkers whom he loathed, treat him as a hero; and the object of his desire, played by Elisha Cuthbert, is paralyzed from a bullet wound.

While Cuthbert initially enlists Slater to help her end her life, the two eventually form a bond that would have never otherwise occurred.

The movie leads us down a path of insanity and through the surreal, morbid, and sickened world of Slater’s character almost flawlessly; and delivers a thought provoking, eye opening take on the mind of a psychotic would be murderer.

If you are smart then you have seen the kind of movies Ben Stiller and Jack Black are in, and you know that the humor is quite fast and sometimes very crude.

If you are offended by this movie, then don’t see it.

Go see Space Chimps (good movie) , unless you are going to be offended by degradation of Life on other Planets, etc.

Just, take the movie for what it is - a movie is meant to target a specific audience and bring humor and happiness.

The movie was not made out of malice, no one said “Let’s make fun of Asians and Retards,” and then popped out “Tropic of Thunder.”

The movie they think they’re making… isn’t a movie anymore.

Starting from the title to the credits, the movie is not about a heroic battle or an indelible mistake by a over zealous, self absorbed government.

It is about understanding a mindset.

If any of you have ever read Francis Fukuyama… its about history repeating itself.

Its about the common man being a pawn, about how life really is not a ‘great equalizer’.

Redford does a brilliant job looking at showing the dynamic impact numerous aspects/events and individuals who impact our lives truly have.

The self serving ego of one senator, or the inability of a teacher to persuade a student, or a reporter having to turn a blind eye to conscience because of a need to put a meal on the table the next day.

It is nice to finally watch a Hollywood war related film without a heroic massacre.

“Baby Mama” is no comic masterpiece, but it’s at least as good as any number of formulaic comedies churned out by Hollywood and much better than many others.

Fey is the uptight career woman who hears her biological clock ticking at 37 and wants to have a baby before it’s too late.

Poehler is the low-class, free-wheeling blonde who agrees to be her surrogate mother for a hefty fee.

The usual odd-couple conflicts ensue, maternal instincts kick in, and in traditional sitcom style, everyone gets what they want in the end.

Ever sat through one of those movies that you’re hoping something’s going to happen - and it doesn’t?

The Promotion is one such movie.

Here’s the uninspiring story of two guys - both intent on being promoted within a corporate supermarket franchise.

That’s the premise - short and sweet.

Naturally there’s some tension between both men competing for the position, but overall the humor is weak; the competitive nature of the applicants is unconvincing and the story flat-lines a couple of minutes into the film.

sorry but its true, it doesn’t cut the mustard!

Mike Myers is a talented guy, but this vehicle is an embarrassment.

The funniest parts are juvenile, unfortunately, outnumbered by gags that are simply more juvenile or, worse yet, juvenile and mean-spirited.

For example, some of the jokes directed at Verne Troyer’s character sound like they were uttered by a 15-year-old classroom bully, not written by an intelligent man in his forties.

More scenes of young Pitka might have explained better how he grew into the adult he became, and Rajneesh could have been fleshed out a bit.

I suspect that a lot of character development and back story were left on the cutting room floor.

What should have been cut were the cameos that were either pointless or self-referential without being truly funny.

If you’re not into the 3B’s “Beer, Bikes & Booty” then this movie may not be your thing.

But if you are then it can be a fun ride.

It’s great to see someone who can actually ride in a movie about bikers.

Dennis Hopper? Biker film legend. It’s awesome to see him back on a bike.

There’s lots of nudity & some pretty graphic murders so again -it’s not for everyone.

That’s the way it was in the biker films and this is a great tribute to the old biker films. Fast & Fun.

Larry Bishop stars as bad-ass biker Pistolero, (named after the original title for Robert Rodriguez’s Desperado) who along with The Gent (Michael Madsen) and Comanche (Eric Balfour), hit the road to avenge the death of Pistolero’s old lady Cherokee Kisum (Julia Jones), by the 666ers, a rival motorcycle gang.

Vinnie Jones and bike riding legend Dennis Hopper star as members of the satanic biker gang the 666ers.

Well only a few months ago Mozilla - creators of Firefox the rival of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer was released to the public after several beta releases.

Now Microsoft launch their little beauty, which boasts a InPrivate mode, the patent for the InPrivate name has been filed in the U.S by the corporation.

The most intriguing tool, and the one that has prompted the “porn mode” label, was dubbed “InPrivate Browsing” by Microsoft.

When enabled, IE8 will not save browsing and searching history, cookies, form data and passwords; it also will automatically clear the browser cache at the end of the session.

Other new tools will include “InPrivate Blocking” and “InPrivate Subscription,” which notifies users of third-party content that can track browsing history and subscribe to lists of sites to block, respectively.

Microsoft will also tweak its existing “Delete Browsing History” by adding an option to preserve bookmarked sites’ cookies even when all others are erased.

If you haven’t seen this, make time to see it!

Gremlins Pack includes Gremlins 1 and 2, there was literally no information to hand, but its the type of film you will love, and well Gizmo is magic

The first one opens up at christmas scene in the local town, the film is about gremlins who wreak havoc on the town, its hard not to fall in love with Gizmo

The second one surrounded with the same idea as the first sees Billy and Kate coincidentally are still both working in the same building.

Billy is in the art department and Kate gives guided tours of the building. It is here that they stumble upon Gizmo and the inevitable happens.

It may not be brilliant in the eyes of the “Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences”, but it is in my eyes. 10 stars!
