![]() Is there a funnier scary movie? While not laugh-your-guts-out, The Cabin in the Woods is LOL all thru. The comedy just keeps coming and coming. Bloody deaths come too, soon a welcome part of the comedy. Some reviewers decline to describe the movie. Just go they say. Why not describe i…

![]() Let’s talk about Fight Club. A contemporary classic, David Fincher’s surreal masterpiece makes killer use of several cinematic power tools: sophisticated CGI and film processing, faux sophisticated alienation, throbbing music, Brad Pitt. You gotta give this nihilistic triumph grudging credit….

![]() Deadly funny, Young Adult expertly skewers shallow Americana, especially the self-absorbed who drift through the sports bars, Hampton Inns and chain stores that delineate it. Nearly every scene tickles. Many are provocatively LOL, especially effective on those of us with a taste for really sm…

![]() Tim Burton’s magical mélange of Frankenstein, suburban farce and teen romance alchemized into a landmark movie. Sweet when you think it’s gonna be scary, sharp where it could have gone sappy, deliciously satiric all the way through, it’s a garden of cinematic delights. Johnny Depp’s Edward is…

![]() Animal House is many things: riotously funny movie, cultural touchstone, seminal hard-R teen comedy. Those make it a font of archetypes and catchphrases, including Bluto (“Seven years of college down the drain.”), Neidermeyer (“A Pledge Pin!”), Dean Wormer (“DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION!”), Flounde…

![]() This is one seriously funny film, and still liable to shock and amuse in equal measure. The racist angle is well handled, and the spoofs, non-sequieteurs and general surrealism of “Blazing Saddles” make it as unmissable as a comedy classic should be. |

![]() A seriously dialogue-intense movie, if you can get past all the profanities, it’s hilarious from start to finish. |

![]() There is something about 80’s movies that are just plain nostagic, but maybe that is because I grew up in the 80’s. I loved Murphy’s Romance because it was a light hearted romantic comedy about a older widow (James Gardner) who is about 30yrs her senior and a divorced mother (Sally Field)with a … |

![]() For a number of years, my wife kept telling me, “you must see Princess Bride!”, and I have avoided it until recently. What a mistake waiting was! Rob Reiner’s intelligently crafted satirical comedy is pure low-brow entertainment; poking fun at all those clichés in fairytale romances. A cast l… |
