Check out the contest page for a chance to wing an autographed poster from GOOD BOY!GOOD BOY! is the classic boy and his dog story. Okay, the dog is from outer space, but while that adds some pizzazz to the tale, its really beside the point emotionally. This is not a sophisticated flick, but it… Read More »
INTOLERABLE CRUELTY
When the Coen Brothers get it right, there are no better filmmakers going, and with INTOLERABLE CRUELTY, they are at the top of their game. With an irreverent touch, they spin a tale of true love that includes all the melodrama, farce, and heartbreak that such a condition is oft wont to engender while still… Read More »
ELF
ELF is a film thats easy to like despite some shortcomings. Will Ferrell is seriously funny as a stranger in two very different strange lands, and its classic Christmas message of glad tidings and love all around is affecting while not falling into the sugar plum trap of terminal sappiness. Our hero is Buddy (Ferrell),… Read More »
BROTHER BEAR
You can’t fault Disneys latest animated film, BROTHER BEAR, for the message it wants to send to all the kiddies out there. That would be a philosophy of respect for all nature’s creatures and of taking responsibility for your own actions are both worthy lessons. Alas, the execution is 90% generic and 100% unfunny. The story… Read More »
DIE, MOMMIE, DIE!
DIE, MOMMIE, DIE! is a glorious, oddly loving evocation of those low-budget, high-concept films that populated drive-in screens in the late 50s and early 60s. As brought to glorious life by the brilliantly twisted mind of Charles Busch, the pretensions of that genre are reborn as a study in post-modern camp. Its a vicious tweak… Read More »
FINDING NEMO DVD
There are many reasons to purchase a DVD. The best is that its film that you want to see on a regular basis and the other best, work with me here, is that the bonus features do more than just pad out the empty space on the disc. FINDING NEMO more than qualifies on both… Read More »
LOONEY TUNES — BACK IN ACTION
The wonderful thing about Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck when I was a kid was that they were deliciously subversive. I may not have known that word exactly, but I had no trouble understanding the concept, the which I latched onto with a full heart and a wicked delight that has endured to this day.… Read More »
BAD SANTA
In BAD SANTA, a film produced by the Coen Brothers and based on their original story, we have a holiday story for our times. One that dares to show us without pulling any punches the nightmare that all this enforced good cheer has become, that exposes the seamy underbelly of what the season has devolved… Read More »
DINNER GAME, THE (DINER DE CONS)
There was in France a game in which a group of friends would meet for dinner. Each would bring an idiot and the competition, waged without the idiots knowing about it, was to determine who had brought the biggest idiot. Writer/director Francis Veber, who also penned LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, has gifted us with his take… Read More »
WIN A DATE WITH TAD HAMILTON
There is just something about WIN A DATE WITH TAD HAMILTON thats completely adorable. Its not that it strays far from the usual LA meets the real world stereotypes, because it doesnt. Nor does it posit that the sex symbols of the silver screen have an inner life much deeper than their Jacuzzis. No, the… Read More »
