Add to the list one of National Lampoon's most memorable and most funny Christmas season movie. It is a true masterpiece.

Short Circuit is one of those films that most of us watched in the 80s when we got so many good family movies that just wouldn't see the light of day in today's movie theater. A Short Circuit made in 2007 would be too politically correct or over done with CGI and lose its charm. But back in 1986 this movie was perfect as far as family movies … [Read more...]

Over 30 years later this film is still viewed as the comedy to watch. If you love comedies, but haven't seen Young Frankenstein, you are in for a great ride. After three decades, it still makes people laugh to death, and it's a must-see for every spoof lover in the world.

What I thought was peculiar was that the original US rating for this was R, meaning a lot more sexual material thrown in, … [Read more...]

When young Dewey Cox accidentally cuts his brother in half with a machete, it sets him on a long, hard, and winding road that traverses the most profoundly important moments in modern music history spanning the 1950's to today. "Walk Hard" was erroneously advertised as yet another comedic romp from Judd Apatow. While as the co-screenwriter here … [Read more...]

When this film was made, it was reviled (and I mean REVILED) by the critics of the day. How dare Clint Eastwood make a comedy! Yet, it was Clint's biggest box office success up to that time (and still might be). I saw it when it was out at the theater, and years later, not only does it hold up, but it's light years better, more realistic … [Read more...]
