Bella (2006)
Worst piece of crap to ever get any recognition.
I saw this at a premiere last night and it is one of the most pretentious, badly made pieces of crap I've ever witnessed. To top it off, it's also wrought with subversive right-wing pro-life propaganda. The fact that this won Toronto and has even made it in to any of the other film festivals it got into is astonishing. I felt like I was in that South Park episode where they're watching Passion of the Christ and they're the only ones that realize they're watching a pretentious piece of crap. I literally felt like screaming. Go see No Country for Old Men instead. Or Michael Clayton or something. Hell, even Saw 4 would be eighty thousand times better.
Me, Myself & Irene (2000)
My favorite of the Farrely Brother's contributions
I wasn't thinking much about what to expect from this movie, as the trailers and ads didn't do much to interest me... Plus, I wasn't even going to see the movie. I was going to see Titan A.E., only to find that they weren't showing it, and were showing the sneak of Me, Myself, and Irene instead. So I thought, "Well... I didn't enjoy There's Something About Mary that much, and I ESPECIALLY didn't like Dumb and Dumber..." But I bought the tickets anyway (there wasn't anything else better to see that I could actually get into, as they had the wrong rating for the film written down). And after a projector getting fried, and the bulb on the projector in the theatre that we had been moved to blowing, the movie started.
Now, initially, I was not impressed. The whole thing with him getting in a fight with the midget black guy was very badly done. Instead of coming up with a viable reason for him to get mad at Carrey, all he does is get mad at Carrey asking, "Do you people take checks?" The midget just turns the question into a racial slur, and it all goes haywire. And then the horrible cinematography came in.
This movie made me laugh folks, plain and simple. A BIG jump over Mary and Dumber in my opinion... Mary and Dumber were just a bunch of dirty jokes and toilet gags rolled into one... And it wasn't very funny... But this movie has so much personality in it (ESPECIALLY in Charlie's kids, but really because of the actors that depict them) that everything jumped out at you so likeable and cool that you couldn't help but laugh.
There's really not much to anylize as far as acting goes... It's just a bunch of actors jumping on screen and hamming it up... Although the three black actors who depict Charlie's kids (Anthony Anderson, and I don't know the names of the other two) will go somewhere in comedic roles... They really jumped out at me, and they got the most out of the characters they were depicting. And of course, Zellwegger is a beauty. One of the only leading actresses out there today who actually stands out in my opinion...
And I saw a lot of potential in Michael Bowman. All in all, I liked this film. Not the best comedy to come out this year so far, but it's one of them. I give it a 4 out of 5.
Takin' It Back to the Streets (1998)
Greatest Kitsch ever made!
I saw this movie on Cable Access one night, and I laughed so hard! This is possibly the funniest "So stupid and obvious it's funny" movie I've ever seen. Try to catch this if you can. You won't regret it if you do.
