Shrek 2

Shrek has to meet Fiona’s parents in a Hollywood-type town while Puss ‘n Boots is sent in as an assassin. I thought this movie was very funny. There were a lot of gags that are in the Naked Gun/Scary Movie parody-type movie vein that were worth a chuckle. I...

Alfie

Jude Law sleeps with all of the women in New York. Dear lord, even Jude Law can’t save this insipid movie. It was horrible and boring. It was also all over the place. I wasn’t even annoyed by him talking to the screen throughout the movie, but I could...

The Hulk

The HulkDirector: Ang Lee Unlike any other comic book character, a wacky science experiment goes haywire, leaving Bruce Banner to become a large angry green man. I’ll try to start this out in a positive way and say that I liked how it had frames on the screen like...

Kill Bill Vol. 2

Uma Thurman is back to finish off her list of killing people. Wow! I can’t wait to see the two movies back to back as one big giant ass movie. This second movie had a lot more dialogue in it and not as much fighting. The fighting it did...

Mean Girls

Lindsey Lohan showing off her big boobs as a teen that was previously home schooled in Africa then sent to a public school. She is drawn into a scheme of deceit where she becomes as evil as the rich snobby girls she is trying to topple. "The Plastics." It...

Bowling For Columbine

Michael Moore directs this documentary about guns and violence in the U.S. It was better and different than what I expected. I thought it was going to be a gung-ho rant against guns and stuff, but it wasn’t. I didn’t know Michael Moore was a member of the NRA....
