My Favorite Movies

The Dirty Pair don't get quite as intricate a story as they usually did in their TV and OVA adventures, but that's okay. The film is well-made, has an interesting villain and some of the best music I've ever heard from an '80s anime. Definitely worth seeing.

Hilarious, highly underrated movie with great music and a fun climax. Don't listen to the naysayers!

A complicated story that is ultimately inconsequential... snappy, hard-hitting dialogue... strange characters... and plenty of laughs. You don't fool Jesus.

This is the best comedy of the '90s and arguably the best Coen Brothers flick ever. A lot of cursing, but a lot of laughs... and remember: the Dude abides.

What can be said about the incredible film that started it all that hasn't been said already? This is a true classic, the perfect example of fun, well-crafted space opera (with a fantasy twist) with some really neat ideas. It remains one of the strongest entries in the series and a must-see for any film lover, even those who aren't really into space films. Even by itself, this movie is epic.

Critics everywhere panned this film. Blake Edwards himself told people to skip it, saying studio interference ruined it. One reviewer called it 1986's "most aptly-titled film", and you can guess this wasn't meant as a compliment.

However, I love this movie. The one-liners and the slapstick make me laugh. The story is so ridiculously silly it doesn't matter how many twists there are. Ted Danson and Howie Mandel work very well together, and it's a shame they never paired up again.

The editing is tight, the music is great and there really are some truly quotable moments, especially when Mandel begins using his comic voices.

Ignore the critics. This is a very funny movie worth watching.

One of the best Trek films ever made, with wonderful farewell performances (especially DeForest Kelley, R.I.P.). There's a good story here, focusing on the necessity of change and the fear that comes with it.

The extended edition is quite good, and changes the story is subtle ways. The DVD special edition adds further little touches here and there that really enhance the film nicely.

Any Trek fan should check this out.

This is one of the best takes on the afterlife I've ever seen, and has everything I like in a movie: a solid, intricate plot, well-developed characters, great effects and solid music. The Director's Cut is even better than the theatrical version.

Two hours and twenty minutes flew by like a mere sixty. Lots of action, lots of DAMN GOOD special effects, lots of surprises, lots of humor and lots of BLOODY PIRATES! I have no issues with this film... no negative points to bitch about, no flaws to grouse over. This is a GREAT movie. Oh, and the best line in the film? Captain Jack encounters Elizabeth for the first time in a long time, and his immediate reaction is to quietly command, "hide the rum!"

ARRR piratin' always be a good time, matey!!

So many things could have gone wrong. So many things could have pulled this film down. It could have been another "3 that wasn't quite as good as 2," joining the ranks of Spider-Man and Shrek. Even more so, it could have been a major disaster.

Instead, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End was just what I was wanting: a hard-hitting, action-packed, well-written adventure that provides a very satisfying end to what is one of my favorite film trilogies of all time.

I loved this movie. I'll recommend it to anyone.

Opening a movie with Chris Tucker dancing, singing and shaking his booty while directing Los Angeles traffic is encouraging, as it suggests we're going to be in for some fun. And it was. I honestly hope they make another. I also hope we don't have to wait another six years to see it.

Amazing animation and imaginative concepts, though somewhat choppy storytelling and a very ambiguous ending. Definitely worth a look, but it may take several viewings to really understand it.

Yes, this title has a lot of fanservice in it and a rather simple story, but why complain when it's so darn much fun?

Superb animation and character designs. The plot is decent but doesn't quite live up to the original manga. The English dub sucks, so watch this one in Japanese.

Major cheeseball parody of movies like 2001 and Alien, which is so good for two reasons:

1. Because it's so bad, and

2. Because it actually has some brilliant one-liners!

Oh, and there's also the singing and dancing monster, which stars in one of the funniest musical numbers in the history of cinema. Yes, I'm serious.

This movie makes me laugh every time I see it.

Hilarious movie with some screamingly funny parodies from the master parody man himself. Okay, maybe a few of the jokes are predictable and some of the characters underdeveloped, but the rest of the movie makes up for this, and in a grand way.

(Oh, and listen to the audio commentary on the DVD; it's actually as entertaining as the movie itself!)
