role-models

The director of somewhat cult favorite Wet Hot American Summer brings us another comedy in Role Models. Instead of the romantic comedy, David Wain goes for relationship comedy between two adults and two kids. Amidst some cheap and crude joke, David Wain manages to deliver a nice message, do what makes you happy. The story starts out with two … [Read more...]

marley-and-me

I was kind of surprised at some of the bad reviews of Marley and Me. A lot of the critics have penned this film as overly syrupy fluff not worth the ticket price. And, from a jaded perspective, it might be true. After watching the film, I can whole heartily recommend this film to anyone. The film has its sweet moments. But, it is only part larger … [Read more...]

groundhog-day

Bill Murray earned himself Oscar nomination for Lost in Translation. He should have been nominated and won the Oscar for Groundhog Day. Had it not gone up against Schindler’s List and Tom Hanks in Philadelphia, I think Bill Murray and the Groundhog Day could have garnered Oscar nominations. This quirky science fiction/fantasy film had great … [Read more...]

the-truman-show

The Truman Show is one of the first “serious” movie by Jim Carey. He moved out of the Ace Ventura movies and made a nice leap to a more serious role. Jim Carey brings right amount of comedic performance to this somewhat serious role. The Truman Show was a right movie at the right time. Released back in 1998, the movie resonates well with the … [Read more...]

office-space

This is easily one of the best comedies to grace the silver screen. What makes Office Space so funny is that it really does connect with people working in office environment right down to the dreaded cubicle space. I think anyone that has worked a company or corporate with cubicle space and idiotic bosses can relate with this movie. Who hasn’t … [Read more...]

zack-and-miri

Zack and Miri make a Porno has garnered some publicity lately. Wal Mart has asked to change the title to make it more acceptable in their stores. Which is really ridiculous. They will gladly sell hack and slash films such as Friday 13th or Saw franchise yet make a big fuss over a title. This film is not as raunchy as some of the comedies to grace … [Read more...]

burn-after-reading

The Coen brother's follow up to critically acclaimed No Country for Old Men is an espionage comedy called Burn after Reading. This film has more in common with Fargo and The Big Lebowski than the grim and dark No Country for Old Men. The film is distinctly Coen Brother's idea of comedy. It is quirky with disjointed plot and story lines that are … [Read more...]
