Favorite Pairings Movies

Actually one of the rare sequels that tops the original. Bigger action, loads of humor, great villians, and the chemistry between Mel and Danny is solid. The boys take on dirty South African diplomats that is on from the opening chase scene. And by bringing in Joe Pesci, LW2 ups the humor quotient. One of the best sequels and best action flicks ever made.

Murtaugh: "I'm going die on a toilet, aren't I?"
Riggs: "Guys like you don't die on toilets".

Hilarious action comedy that pairs Robert DeNiro with Charles Grodin. An odd couple that turns out to make a fantastic team. There are chases, shootouts, showdowns with the mob, and loads of funny scenes involving this duo. And Dennis Farina is great as mob boss Jimmy Cerano.

Jonathan: "I got money, y'know".
Jack: "I'm sure you do".
Jonathan: "I'll give you whatever you want".
Jack: "Start by shutting up. I know you all of two minutes and already I don't like you".
Jonathan: "That's too bad. I really like you".

Funny as hell.

The last of the kick ass action flicks from the early 90's. It seems action films today have been watered down and loaded up with too much CGI that make you appeciate films like this one. Last Boy Scout has it all: tough guy hero, bloody and violent action scenes, despicable bad guys, some hot babes running around, the sidekick who holds his own, and loads of humor. Bruce is excellent as the burnt out private detective Joe Hallenbeck. He teams up with ex-quarterback Jimmy Dix (Damon Wayans) to solve the murder of Jimmy's girl, a young Halle Berry. This leads to a gambling conspiracy that reaches very far. Bruce and Damon make one of the best teams in action films ever. They rough up bad guys and dispense with one liners galore. They definetly don't make them like this anymore and it makes me quite sad. Thank god for DVD and cable. And in case you wondering, Boy Scout still holds up today. Better than some of the so called action films being made today.

Okay sequel that definetly delivers on the action and spectacle and humor but it's way too long and an unbelivable ending. That being said. Will and Martin do kick some ass as returning Miami cops who have to deal with a major drug dealer. Not as good as the original but still gets the job done. And it features one of the best car chases ever captured on film. The freeway chase involving the Jamaicans is awesome. Plus this film gets a shout out from Hot Fuzz- You ain't seen Bad Boys 2?

Marcus Burnett: You see that?
Mike Lowery: They throwin' cars. How'd I not see that.
Marcus Burnett: Hey, Mike, I'm just trying to be helpful.
Mike Lowery: Hey, you'd know what would be fuckin' helpful, Marcus? Just shut the fuck up and let me drive, let's try that.

Refreshing comedy with perfect chemistry between Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Fey is a businesswoman who hires Poehler to be her surrogate. Of course, things don't go as planned. I didn't expect this movie to be this good and was pleasantly surprised. Fey plays it straight for the most part but does get in a few zingers here and there. Amy Poehler is a riot. Everytime she opens her mouth, something crazy and funny comes out. Also solid backup from Romany Malco as Fey's doorman and Sigouorney Weaver as the owner of the surrogate organization. A good comedy with loads of laughs and a little romance thrown in coming from Greg Kinnear as Fey's boyfriend. Me and Stephanie loved it.

Chaffee Bicknell: Our surrogacy fee is $100,000.

Chaffee Bicknell: It takes longer.

Hilarious action comedy about two Chicago cops taking on a ruthless drug dealer. Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines make a great team. The one liners come fast and the action ever faster. One of the better cop movies from the 80's.

Ray: "Pointing a gun at a police officer. Can we waste them for that?"
Danny: "I think so."

Classic Marilyn
Lorelei Lee: "Don't you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You wouldn't marry a girl just because she's pretty, but my goodness, doesn't it help?"

Bette Midler's funniest movie. She and Shelley Long are two actresses who somehow get involved in spies and goverment conspiracies. It's an unbelivable situation but funny as hell. Bette and Shelley make a great team and I was suprised they didn't make anymore films together. A really good comedy that lets the Divine Miss M do her thing.

Lauren: "Because everything that comes out of your mouth is pornographic."
Sandy: "That is a fucking lie."

Exciting and humorous adventure flick with romance novelist Joan Wilder (wonderfully played by Kathleen Turner) traveling from New York to Colombia, South America to track down her missing sister. Along the way she runs into American adventurer Jack Colton (one of Michael Douglas' best roles) and the two are off on a sensational adventure. With kidnappers and corrupt policemen in hot pursuit. Throw in pint sized Danny Devito as Ralph, one of the kidnappers with some rousing action scenes and Stone is a winner. Wonderful dialogue is a plus. Followed a year later by The Jewel of the Nile, which is a solid enough sequel.

Jack Colton: Wait a minute, he's after you. Who the hell are you?
Joan Wilder: Well, I'm a romance novelist.
Jack Colton: You're what? What are you doing here?
Joan Wilder: I told you, my sister's life depends on me.
Jack Colton: Ah, don't give me that shit. I thought you were donating a kidney or something

Jack Colton: What did you do, wake up this morning and say, "Today, I'm going to ruin a man's life"?

Super film involving mistaken identity, private eyes, the LA scene, missing corpses, and one very hot and sassy woman caught in the middle of it all. Downey, Kilmer, and Monaghan are awesome. Lots of humor with a very kick ass action scene at the end. Must see.
Perry:"Look up idiot in the dictionary. You know what you'll find?"
Harry:"A picture of me?"
Perry:"No! The definition of idiot. Which you fucking are!"

You see this is why there should be more women driven action pictures. Women can make credible action heroes just like men, if not better. Geena Davis is awesome as Samantha Cain, a women suffering from amnesia, who is living the quiet life with her young daughter and dating a nice guy. Samantha has hired low rent private eye Mitch Hennessey to solve the mystery of her past. When a man shows up at Samantha's house to kill her, her reflexes takes over and she kills him. It seems Samantha was a former CIA assassin named Charlie Baltimore who was left for dead. Well the bad guys want to finish the job this time and soon Charlie and Mitch are on the run, taking down bad guys left and right. This movie kicks ass and Geena Davis rocks it as the super assassin Charlie. If you thought Uma Thurman was one lethal lady in Kill Bill, you need to check out Charlie. Deadly with her hands and even deadlier with a gun. She mows down the bad guys with lethal efficiency. Samuel Jackson holds his own as the wise cracking detective Mitch, who gets in on the action later on in the movie. They end up making quite the team. I brought up Uma, because Kill Bill seemed to borrow a little of the plot from this film. A wronged lady comes back to exact revenge and to save her little girl. And this film delivers all the action you could want and then some. Loaded with devious bad guys, snappy one liners, awesome gun battles and fight scenes, Long Kiss is a must see. And also has a very cool music score that brings more energy to the already fantastic action scenes. Good selection of songs too. Geena shows she can hang with the big boys Mel, Arnie, Bruce and Sly quite easily. From the writer Shane Black of Lethal Weapon and The Last Boy Scout.

Mitch Henessey: What I'm saying is, back when we first met, you were all like "Oh phooey, I burned the darn muffins." Now, you go into a bar, ten minutes later, sailors come runnin' out. What up with that?

Hilarious comedy about real estate agent Peter(Paul Rudd) proposing to his girlfriend Zooey (Rashida Jones) and then realizing he has no male friends to be his best man. So Peter goes through a series of man dates set up by his mom and brother but to no avail. Along comes Sydney Fife (Jason Segel) who doesn't actually appear until about 30 minutes into the movie, but once he does Segel gives the movie a nice kick and the laughs become more frequent and hilarious. I really loved this movie. A kind of laid back story with several engaging characters and wonderful performances. The three leads are all great and work well together Paul Rudd is likable and goofy; Jason Segel comes across as aloof but actually makes a lot of sense and Rashida Jones is a revelation as she makes Zooey smart and sexy. The supporting cast is also super including Jamie Pressly and Jon Favreau as a bickering married couple; JK Simmons as Peter's dad; Andy Samberg as Peter's brother; Sarah Burns as Zooey's best friend Hailey and a dry but funny cameo by The Incredible Hulk himself, Lou Ferringo. I love You, Man is a sweet sometimes raunchy, but enjoyable comedy. For couples, singles, men or women. Everyone will enjoy this one. Also RUSH appears for a brief scene and they rock! AWESOME! I'm slapping da bass man. You have to see the movie to get that quote. I'll just say Paul Rudd had me laughing when he says it like 20 times.
