Megan Ward and Jeremy Piven make this University tale quite watchable. Very much in the vein of Animal House or Revenge of the Nerds, it's a highly watchable update.
Just a terrific coming of age comedy with just the right mix of humour and melancholy. Noah Baumbach has created a timeless classic here... especially with Elliot Gould as Grover's father.
"Only the cool kids pee their pants" pretty much sums up this fun look at a grown man going back to school and realising it's not all he remembered it was. The addition of Veronica Vaughn (so hot, want to touch the heiny) is a welcome addition, as is Chris Farley's hilarious bus driver.
It put British films back on the map, launched numerous careers and had one red hot soundtrack. Apart from the horrific subject matter (scoundrels trying to get off smack), at the basis of the film it's a heart warming tale.
I know it all has to be taken with a grain of salt and we all have to make our own minds up, but Al Gore presents some compelling arguments about the environments. He also admits there have been questions from "the other side" and addresses them as well. He's no ostrich with his head in the sand here and he has no ulterior motive but to make sure we don't annihilate ourselves.
I have a renewed respect for the man having seen this.
There were moments you knew there was American money behind this (i.e. predictability at almost every turn) but it has Pegg, and Dylan Moran and just a few killer scenes. Definitely worth a view, but not as good as some of Pegg's other outings.
excellent film with a hinted discussion of the afterlife, which isn't all that strange as it's a Spanish film and they are fiercely religious.
The backdrop of Franco's Spain made it even more interesting as the main character was not only looking to discover the secrets of the labyrinth, but also escape the ravages of war.
The innocence she represented was ably counter-represented by "The Captain" who found no punishment too brutal in trying to counter a resurgence by the local militia.
A wonderful film, worthy of all the awards and accolades it received.
it may seem like just 4 episodes back to back, but it's THE SIMPSONS! There's subtle differences from the TV show too, nudity, mild swearing, giving the finger and 2.5D animation. Some of the jokes are hilarious and the plot actually stands up to the 90-odd minute running time.
When they said in Spinal Tap "there is none more black" they were talking about the tone and mood in Empire. What started out as a children's space fantasy turns black right from the start. The bad guys win every time in this instalment, even to the point that the main hero has his hand cut off and his buddy gets frozen. This is Lucas at his best.
With tongue firmly in cheek this fast paced plot hole as large as Texas flick is the most fun you can have legally.
Borrowing liberally from video games, James Bond, the old Roadrunner/coyote cartoons, graphic novels and Bugs Bunny this film will have you laughing, crying and punching the air all at once.
There were issues when the film came out about the posters glorifying gun culture. If anytime it's a dark satire on gun culture, to the point where Owen's character utters "I never carry a gun".
