Something About Sex (1998) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While I was watching this film I couldn't help but think of Woody Allen films. This movie is very much like some of his films. Something about sex focuses on the sex lives of three married couples and there various stages and insecurities about fadelity. The film opens at a dinner party where a guest, Art Witz(Jason Alexzander), proposes to the three seemingly happy couples that monogomy is not natural. The rest of the film covers the journey these people take to answer that question. I found this film quite entertaining. The cast was very good. Each character had there own sort of neurotic qualities that made them unique. To be more specific one character uses the same line over and over to pick up women, another has a fetish for porn(which leads to a hilarious cameo from Ron Jeremy), another a liking for "special" massages, and one character is obsessed with larger women. All this makes for some really funny stuff. I thought the film was well edited. It seemed to know just when to cut, never too much, which is a credit to the director Adam Rifkin. I recommend this film. It delivers exactly what it promises with it's title. I said earlier it reminded me of a Woody Allen film, well yes, but without New York, and with graphic sex scenes(Allen never has these). If you like this film I also suggest Friends and Lovers which is very similar in context to this film. If you like comedies about sex you will like Something About Sex.

Scary Movie 3.5 - Special Unrated Version (Dimension Collector's Series) (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wondered when I watched the trailer for Scary Movie 3 why I was laughing so hard.Sure I enjoyed the first two films, but they seemed... amateurish. Yeah, I know the entire series is nothing but crass, low-brow humor, but that trailer was SO funny. I found myself on the Internet Movie Database (http://www.imdb.com) trying to figure it out. Much to my surprise, I found David Zucker (one of the three masterminds behind Airplane!) directing and writing AND Kevin Smith producing and writing the film. Zounds!
I don't know why or how the Wayans brothers aren't involved, but frankly it's for the better. The movie is absolutely hilarious. Oh sure, there are jokes so obvious they are like seeing a jumbo jet landing in your front yard, but there are also enough surprises that catch you off guard to more than make up for that.
The "plot" purees The Ring, Signs and Eight Mile into a mismatch of parody and slap-stick well enough that you wish the Zuckers and Jim Abrahams would get back together and come up with one more. This is mostly for two scenes that sustain laughs so long they actually hurt. Don't get me wrong. This nothing more than stupid, sophomoric humor, but when in the hands of talented comedic film makers, it becomes a film that demands repeated viewings much like Airplane! and Top Secret. In other words, a laugh riot.

Splatter: Naked Blood Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let's face it, you're not here for a story.
Yeah there is one, with a deep message about excess.
But you're here for the blood.
And when it rains, boy does it pour.
If you're freaked out by self-mutilation, give this one a pass.
I personally had to pause this movie a number of times to make it through.
It takes a while for the gore to get going,
(there is a story here after all)
But once it does, grab your umbrella.
Here's what it's about:
Eiji infects his mothers 3 patients (all women testing out a new contraceptive)
with the ultimate pain-killer,
A pain-killer that turns pain into mounting pleasure.
This in turn, has disasterous effects.
One pateint is obsessed with eating
Another patient is obsessed with beauty
And the last suffers from extreme insomnia.
(She hooks herself up to a cactus, in order to sleep. Why? I have no idea)
***GORE SPOILER***
In this flick you'll see:
- one woman eat herself alive (hands, eyes, nips, and bajingo)
- another pierce herself to death (and I mean pierce)
- & a guy crawl into a woman's open chest cavity.
Sound up your alley?MORAL OF THE STORY:
The pain of life cannot be masked by excessive pleasure.
It will consume you.

The Goldilocks and the 3 Bears Show (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We rented this because my kids liked the other Unstable Fables movies and they really loved this one. My 7 year old was talking about the jokes after the movie ended and singing the "Family" song, and wanted to play it again the next day. We wanted to buy it when we returned it, but the Blockbuster already sold out. My husband thought it was funny too. I reccommend for families.

Armageddon (1998) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Criterion Collection release of Armageddon is a treat. It offers 2 commentary tracks, one featuring the director Michael Bay, actors Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has comments on several interesting things. Affleck's commentary is sometimes very funny. The other commentary track features the Director of Photography and special effects people.
The commentary includes interesting details, including background information on the characters and filming locations. Note: The commentary is raw and sometimes laced with profanity, although the movie itself is rated PG-13, for reasons explained in the commentary.
Although it's not much, this collection is also a Director's Cut and has a couple scenes added, notable of which is Harry Stamper's character visiting his father before launch. Some other scenes are cut slightly differently, adding some depth to the story.
The Gag reel on the second disk is extremely funny, raw, and not your typical "behind-the-scenes" documentary.
The second disk also features a tremendous amount of information on the special effects and includes many different trailers and promo material. The Aerosmith song video is also included.
While the story can be nit-picked, it's still very exciting and enjoyable.
Overall, if you liked the movie, the Criterion Collection release is the DVD to have.

Love Is Never Silent (1985) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been looking for Love Is Never Silent for a long time. I finally found it on DVD. I recorded it on when it came out on TV, but recorded over it. I loved it when I was a child when the movie was first shown. I still love it as an adult. It's a great story about a hearing child with deaf parents in the 1930s and 1940s America.
