J.J.F. is a GAS!
5 July 2006
Watching Jumping Jack Flash reminds me dearly about the eighties, and really this is the oldest film I've Whoopi Goldberg in other than Sister Act. I have to admit that I myself fit right along with Whoopi's character-Terry Dolittle. She's obsessed with movies and posters of movies and what not, and hey, so am I! Anyway, I enjoyed this movie since I happen to be a fan of Comedy/Crime movies. And I think this film was great. It doesn't have much of a plot, though it seems to work just fine without one. All it really is, is a computer operator played by Goldberg works her everyday pain-in-the-neck job at First National Bank in New York. She receives an S.O.S. from Jumpin' "Jack" Flash, a British spy trapped in Russia. And he asks her for help. She doesn't even know what the hell's going on! And now that she's been dragged into this mess she has to come up with a way to get "Jack" home and keep their contact from falling into the wrong hands. This movie is great, you might like then again you might not but still I suggest you give it a try all you crime fans out there. Rating-8/10

The Aviator (2004)
10/10
An Inspirational Film!
2 July 2006
When I watched "The Aviator" for the first time over a year ago, I have to say I really liked it. Leonardo Dicaprio does great playing Howard Hughes as does Cate Blanchett with Catherine Hepburn. The film is great all the way through. The filmmakers did an awesome job of making the 1930's-1940's style backgrounds. I have to say I didn't know anything about Howard Hughes until I saw this movie based on his life. I'm serious! Although, I have to point out that the language is rather a big disappointment. In addition to the unnecessary f-word used by Alec Baldwin's character. Leo's character as well as almost everyone else in the movie says "godd--n" nonstop, and more than half the time it's not necessary either. But, despite that "the Aviator" is a great film. I enjoyed watching it. I also have to says that this would have to be the film that's inspiring me to become a filmmaker myself possibly.

I Got Vacation Fever!
19 June 2006
I went to see this movie with my family a couple months backs, and let me tell you it was good. Really good! Some might think otherwise, but I think this was pretty funny. Robin Williams was good in this film, and so was Jeff Daniels. All the mischief Robin's character and his family get into is a hoot! Some parts were a little crude, regarding the septic tank incident. But the rest of the movie was great and it was worth seeing. After one funny ends another one begins. Maybe some parts were a little dry, but like I already said, all together the movie was great. If you haven't already seen it, go see it. You'll like it. Personally, this film got me more and more anxious to go on a vacation myself. Thankfully, I will be later this week.

Cars (2006)
10/10
Cute and Hilarious!
19 June 2006
Cars has to be the most funniest and best made Pixar film to date! I went to see this movie yesterday, and it was hilarious! It was funny all the way through, the characters are funny, the jokes they make are a total hoot. I could not stop laughing for just one second without something else extremely funny happening in the film. This film is great! It's awesome!! There's hardly anything that is not funny in it. I'm telling you go see this movie, it's worth seeing and worth watching. Kids are not the only one's who will find this funny, grownups will too. So, when you have nothing to do, go to your local movie theater and go see this movie, I seriously doubt that you will NOT enjoy it.

Excellent Disney Film!
19 June 2006
Pirates of the Caribbean is in fact, in my opinion the best film Disney has come out with so far. I went to the movies twice to see this when it came out. I have to tell you there is not one second in this film that is not either good, entertaining or fascinating! I really like Johnny Depp's character (Captain Jack Sparrow), he's really good with doing that character. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly are also good, as well as Geoffery Rush. Anyway, this movie is great...actually it's terrific! If you have not yet seen it, go to the store, buy this movie and then sent down and watch it. I can guarantee you will not regret it! Trust me, you will love this movie.

Titanic (1997)
10/10
All hail to Kate Winslet
19 November 2005
Now although this film is underrated (PG-13) it should be (R) mainly because of Kate Winslet's "big scene". Now about that big scene, I seem to not be able to stop thinking about it, yet it's not like I'm going to repeatedly picture her like that okay, it's only this film and only this film that this happens oh, and only during that particular scene. Titanic is a fantastic film, both Leo Decaprio and Kate Winslet make a great pair here, and do a terrific job too. I think Kat Winslet deserves another award for bravest actor, she was strong in this film, and I would assume she was also very comfortable doing that big scene. She had to be, I mean she was totally clothes less, and by the camera angles a lot her was seen while she was "that way". Anyway, Kate was great, Leo was great, this movie was great. I give it a 10. Half for the film and half for Kate.

The "Eddie Murphy" Romantic Comedy!
18 November 2005
I have to say, I first saw Eddie Murphy in "The Nutty Proffesor" which was hilarious, crude, but totally a hoot.(Also it was Rated-PG-13). Yet, when I saw "Coming to America" that's when I noticed something else about Eddie. That he ran things with his movies differently back then, not to mention that "Coming to America is an older film,(And it's Rated-R). It surprised me really it did, but it didn't seem to bother me. Even with the language and the "sexual" Parts that were included. Anyway, Eddie did come up with a great storyline for this film. Heis extremely funny with all the people he plays. They are all a total hoot! I would recommend this to any Eddie Murphy fans. This is a terrific film. Yet however do mind the Rating (R) since there is Strong Language and some sexual content. Other than that this a good film.

The Ultimate Thanksgiving Treat!
18 November 2005
Planes, Trains & Automobiles I have to say has to be the most hilarious holiday film I have seen in my lifetime. Both Steve Martin and the late, yet great John Candy are great together in this film. Steve's character is a hoot, since he is very serious and focused only on getting home and spending thanksgiving with his family. But all he gets is misery. Misery, misery, misery. And that's where John Candy's character comes in, his character is lovable, yet according to Steve's character he's just an "Annoying Blabermouth". With these two together, that creates the beauty of mixing Serious with Cheerful, it turns into a wild goose chase that is both unbelievable, crazy and of course, funny! I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone to watch along with there families, especially during Thanksgiving. It's totally hilarious!

Nutball Funny!
7 August 2005
The very first time I heard about this film was when I was spending some time with my grandmother when I was younger and she told me that she had got a new movie called Friday. I had nothing else to do, and neither did she so, we pulled out Friday and watched it. Even, though this film does have a lot of language that is pervasively strong spoken. It is still funny due to the fact on how they say it. Now, yes the language might be alittle too strong. But, mainly in my opinion the drug material was pretty unnecessary. And, last time I heard Chris Tucker who plays Smokey, (Craig's friend) refused to return in the two films because he did not want to play a drug dealer. Anyway, Ice Cube as he's called plays Craig who's out of job and has absolutely nothing to do. Except, smoke weed with Smokey, beat up a bratty little kid from knocking over trash cans overthrew, hiding his priced possessions from a thug named Deebo, and keep Smokey from smoking the weed he's supposed to be selling for a guy named "Big Worm", before they "both end up dead meat. Anyway, despite the fowl stuff this film is still pretty good and funny. I would recommend this film to any Comedy lovers out there. This film is a good one. I give it "7". But, before watching it pay attention to the rating. (R) And also why it's rated that.

A Funny Comedy of Trial and Error!
29 July 2005
My cousin vinny is another hilarious comedy that I have to tip my hat to. Joe Pesci is great for the role. He's a (so-called) attorney from New York that travels down to Alabama to defend his cousin Bill (Ralph Macchio) and his friend Stan (Mitchell Whitfield) and get them cleared of the 1st degree murder charge the state has on them. Now he says he's an attorney but, he has very little experience. He has never had a murder case before nor has he done any other case, nor has he EVEN gone to court, EVER! Vinny really starts having a really hard time down in the south, other than the case; he has his impatient girlfriend Lisa (Marisa Tomei) who is really getting tired of waiting for Vinny to marry her as soon as he won his first case. Yet he's really having trouble with the case, because every time he's in the court room he looks like does not even know what he's doing! Not to mention the court's judge who just flat out hates him and as Vinny says "he's just aching to throw me in jail". I don't want to say much more but, he does happen to say that he went to law school in Brooklyn, New York, yet he really never has gone to law school. Anyway, this film a Comedy of trial and error is a hoot. I recommend this film to comedy lovers as well. I give "8".

One of the Most Extarordinary Films Ever!
11 July 2005
The Passion of the Christ is a great film. It's very well done. I say thumps way way up, to Mel Gibson for this film. The movie very well covers pretty much what had happened during the last twelve hours of Jesus Christ. One thing I have to admit is the foreign language. Hebrew, Latin & Arabic are spoken throughout the film. Yet there is no English, none. And because of that the dialogue is subtitled in English. That is one of many things that makes this a terrific film. I went to the theaters in February 2004 to see this film. It was very very dramatic and sad. Even though I did not break put in tears during that film, I briefly blinked during the scene where Jesus (Caveisel) was being beaten. Every time they smacked him the camera would focus on it and I could not bear to see it. Despite this being a R-rated film it is only for sequences of graphic violence, and that's it. Lastly, I will just say that every time I watch this film or think about I feel different inside. I would most definitely recommend this film to anybody. This really is an Extrordinary film. I give my highest rating "10".

Gone Fishin' (1997)
6/10
Why is the rating low? This movie is really good.
8 July 2005
I have to disagree with all the other comments on this film. Really, I do. I don't understand why people this isn't funny? Well okay maybe not really really funny but, there is some humorous stuff in it. That does make it funny. Especially when those two guys are looking at Ranger boat and then they accidentally hit & break the throttle and the key! Shortly after that they rocket out of the bay and onto land where they lose their 2 engines, and then go skidding right through a boat display area causing everything to knock over and their boat to break in half. Anyway maybe it could be better, but still it was a good film. Rating-6. It was a great film.

Interesting Comedy
8 July 2005
I have to say this really is an interesting comedy. It's also a very very popular one. At the school I went to last year Napoleon Dynamite was the most popular comedy there. Plus, many people admitted that they love it. I seem like it as well. The storyline is not really known for this film yet like others say, for this film it seam's to not really matter. This film has some goofy things in it which seem to make it funny. This film barely has anything fowl in it. Some language is heard the only one heard is "Crap", that's it. Freekin is used as well. But, there is no major swearing in this film. In conclusion, I have to say it was a pretty good movie to watch. I would recommend this to any "Comedy" lovers out their.

Great Movie!
7 July 2005
This movie is a good one I like the action, drama and comedy that it carries. Micheal Caine, Robert Duvall and Haley Joel Osment are great together.I have to say that I would really hate to be in Walter's (Osment) position.I mean having a LIAR for a MOTHER.It's like she does not even care about her son. His life pretty much blows, big time. Yet, all that changes when he goes to see his great-uncles. I have to say it's pretty weird how they live, and plus they secretly have millions of dollars hidden away. Rumor has it saying that they robbed all that from banks 30 years ago, and shot and killed lots of people. But all that is not true. During that time they first traveled to Europe for a little trip from home. And later they end in Africa. Fighting a war, battling and evil shiek and one of them becoming lucky to find love for a Princess! Anyway I don't want to spoil it you but, this really is a good film. I recommend it. There's alittle bit of language but it's not bad. Mostly it's just damn and hell. Nothing else really.

Not as funny as it looked.
5 July 2005
When I first saw the preview of this film I thought whenever I had the chance I would buy it and watch it. This movie thankfully, is not as GROSS as Me, Myself & Irene, that movie was much worse than this. I just think trying to make another film connecting to the original (Dumb & Dumber) which I have to admit was a lot funnier than this. I gave that movie a "7". But this is just DUMB. The humor is sort of crude but it's not too too bad, but it's not funny either. I have to say this was not what I expected it to be. I expected it to be good but I was wrong. After watching it repeatedly I could already guess the user rating it has. (3.3/10) Even though this film is not obscene well, at least not really,it just has to be a waste. I mean in this film their stupider than they are in the other one, and plus they're not even funny. They're just plain stupid. Don't waste your on this film, buy the first one. You'll enjoy that one much more than this one. Rating-"1"

Very Bad & Gross Film!
4 July 2005
Let me just say this...THIS FILM IS PURE C--P!!!! (I'm just keeping it light, It's worse than that!)The so-called CRUDE HUMOR in this film turns GROSS, it's OVERDONE!! I can't even bear to tell you! It's so BAD! This Definitely NOT I REPEAT NOT JIM CARRIE'S BEST FILM! It's a total pain in the a--! From me this film gets a "2". It's lucky to get that I actually would rate it a "1". That's how BAD this film is! It's TERRIBLE!!!! The Language is unnecessary and especially the crude humor!! No doubt about it. Despite the fact that I'm a very big fan of the face of comedy -Jim Carrey. I just think that this just wasn't his best film. And when looking at the personal quotes of one of the Farley brothers he actually said that he thinks this was their worst film. But, he said it was because the storyline was bad. I could not agree more.

Okay, Maybe, but too hard to follow!
4 July 2005
This will just be short and sweet. This film did sound interesting to me when I first heard about it. Since, the previews from certain people about this film sounded good. So, when at a game store I saw this film and decided to buy it. I have to tell you I was expecting it to be very dramatic before I started watching it. And it was, alittle strange too. In my opinion, a film with a genre of Drama/Romance/Sci-Fi all combined does not mix well. I may be wrong but I think it does. This film probably have been better if its storyline was better. I had a lot of trouble following it. If it had been better to follow it I might have enjoyed it. I guess there was too much drama in the film. I don't know. I will have to give a "3".

Fuuunnnnnnnnnnnny!!!
3 July 2005
Dumb and Dumber made me laugh so hard my sides were killing me! I'm serious it was that funny. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are great together in this film. Both are extremely corny and funny. Though despite the fact that the humor is dumb, that's what makes it funny! Some of it is a little crude, but that does not mean that it's not funny. I'm telling you Jim Carrey is hilarious in this movie, so if you need a good laugh, get this movie and watch it. This is a comedy classic. You will not be disappointed. I guarantee it! Dumb and Dumber barely has any parts that are not funny. Trust me. So, go buy this movie, you won't regret it.

Liar Liar (1997)

The Best of Jim Carrey Ever!
3 July 2005
This film along with Bruce Almighty is the best film with Jim Carrey, Because it's FUNNY THROUGHOUT!! There is hardly a scene where Carry's character either does or says something funny. I laughed my guts out with this film.Jim does a tremendous job with his character. It's just funny since at first he lies to all his co-workers since the TRUTH is something MEAN.But when his son makes a 5th. birthday wish that for only one his dad could NOT tell a LIE! That's were the good part starts. We first see him again with his co-workers and everything he says is THE TRUTH! It's just spilling out of him!! This movie is Great!! It's very funny. Plus,there's really nothing offensive despite the PG-13.I LOVED this film. It's the best! I rate it a "10"!

Jim Carrey becomes the GOD of laughter!
3 July 2005
On top of being a very very big fan of Jim Carrey I was given this film as a Christmas present. And I have to tell you this film looked pretty funny. Let me tell you it was more than that! This has to be another one of Jim Carrey's best & funniest films!! It was Hilarious!!! Now, yes it's kind of an insult to be sort of making fun of god, even though it was funny it was kind of edgy, but it was still good. No doubt about that. Oh, and another thing I don't the film needed to have an f-word or be rated PG-13, but despite that this film was great. Weird and little mean, but great & very funny. Any Jim Carrey fans out there who want to see him at his best. I suggest this film. Trust me you will laugh so hard you won't know what hit you! Rated-8/10
