Fantastic Four (2005)
Amazing, funny and fantastic!
When I bought my ticket to see this movie I had no idea what to expect. I seen previews, previews that drove me to buy this ticket. My friend and I walked into the theater, took a seat and watched the red screen. After the previews had pasted the movie finally started.
I have never read any of the comics on this story, so I payed close attention to the screen. We were slowly introduced to the characters. Reed Richards (Gruffund), Susan Storm (Alba), Johnny Storm (Evans), Ben Grimm (Chicklis) and Victor Von Doom (McMahon) are five scientists that go into outer-space to study DNA.
After a cosmic radiation exposure hits them they wake up in Von Doom's 'care center' where they are studied for injuries. Slowly they all learn their powers. Johnny being set on fire, Susan turning invisible, Reed being able to stretch his arm to an amazing length(catching a falling champagne bottle), Ben turning into a 'stone monster' and Victor's hand/forearm turning to metal.
Reed, Susan, Johnny and Ben are forced to not go out in public after revealing their powers and being chased by screaming fans (Susan). Johnny seems to be the only one who's happy with his powers, while the other three wish to turn themselves back.
Reed swears to create a machine to turn them back, but not before testing everyone's powers. Victor's company quits on him and that causes him to kill a few people, well many people. Then he vows to steal everything Reed has, again. First eliminating his 'body guard' Ben "The Thing". This breaks them up Johnny and Ben going their separate ways while Susan and Reed stayed together.
Once Reed tried it on himself and it failed; Doom learns it needed more power. So Doom talked "The Thing" into using the machine. Success caused Ben to turn back into himself and Doom to become more powerful than ever. Becoming all metal, except his face. This brings them back together to take him on. They finally decide to keep their powers and use their powers to take him down.
Speacil effects are awesome, lines were funny, and the entire movie was fantastic! I loved it and would even go to see it again in the near future. This is definitely going to be in my DVD/VHS collection once it comes out. I give it a 10/10 and recommend it to everyone!
The Longest Yard (2005)
Never seen the original, but this was the best Adam Sandler movie I've seen in a while.
The Longest Yard (The remake) is full of laughs and funny actions. Tell ya the truth if you HAVEN'T seen the first it don't really make a difference... I really enjoyed this movie and thought it was one of the best comedy's that Hollywood has dished us since last year.
Sandler's last movie Spangish sucked and was stupid, not really worth seeing. To be honest Sandler should really stick with the pure comedy's, his romance/comedy movies are getting old quick. Sure 50 First Dates was good, but Spangish was a complete disaster and wasn't worth being called an Adam Sandler film. He truly could do better.
The casting was excellent! From big names like Adam Sandler and Chris Rock to beginners in Stone Cold (WWE Superstar) and Kevin Nash (TNA Superstar). 10/10 stars...
Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)
The best movie I've seen this year! Thrilling, sexy and funny!
John (Pitt) and Jane (Jolie) Smith are two assassins that happen to work for two different companies of assassins that are enemies. When the two companies figure out they're married they pin them against one another and attempt to have both killed. Setting both up to kill the same man brings them both to find out what the other really does. Once they find out both are on hire alert and are carefully watching one another's moves. After many attempts to kill one another John says he can't kill her. When they figure out what was really going down they team up to take on the men that are trying to kill them.
Pitt and Jolie have a good chemistry on screen - very sexy and funny. They did an excellent job with casting and pulling the film together. Mr. & Mrs. Smith is probably the most anticipated movie of the year and probably the best I've seen in a long time. Many other movies came close, but just in the long run? Most sucked and weren't even worth seeing.
Go to a theater or video store near you and see it, if you haven't already. It's definitely worth your time and money, that is if you're into action/romance/comedy movies. Overall 10/10 stars!
Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood (1996)
Excellent comedy - one of my favorites.
Don't Be A Menace is a good "stupid comedy" the only reason it's funny is because almost everything the characters do is hilarious and pretty stupid. The catch of the movie is it's a Waynes Brother's Comedy - meaning it's generally going to be hilarious and funny.
Although "Don't Be A Menace" is parodied from many other movies, that I have never even heard of, I still got the whole idea. If you've seen it many times you'll get it after awhile, although you've got to really pay attention to the movie to get it.
One of the best scenes is when Bernie Mac, Officer Self Hatred, arrests Ashtray (Shawn) and Loc Dog (Marlon) for being black, even though Bernie Mac, like Marlon and Shawn, is black himself.
Another scene you don't want to miss is definitely is in the beginning of the movie when Ashtray's mom drops him off at his dad's house, who happens to be younger than Ashtray, Ashtray opens the car door only to cause a bike rider to hit it and flip his bike over it.
I would definitely encourage anyone to buy/rent this movie because it's a "classic" Waynes Brother's Movie. Hopefully we'll see more the of the Waynes brother's movies coming out in the future: Little Man being one of them.
Monster-in-Law (2005)
One of the best romance/comedy films to have came out recently.
Monster-in-law is a great movie to have a few laughs at. Although it wasn't exactly one of those comedy's that keeps you excited and laughing the entire time. It had it moments that just were boring and not too funny. The funniest character, in my mind, was Ruby (Wanda Sykes, The Chris Rock Show) and she wasn't exactly a main character.
Jennifer Lopez (The Wedding Planner, Maid In Manhattan) and Jane Fonda (Klute, Coming Home) made a great combination. Jane Fonda came out of a 15 year retirement to do this movie and play the role of the monster-in-law Viloa.
Another big name, Michael Vartan; known as Michael Vaughn on Alias, played the role as boyfriend and fiancé of Jennifer Lopez's character Charlotte "Charlie". Charlotte "Charlie" best friends were Remy (Adam Scott) and Morgan (Annie Parisse) played a minor role in the movie, but still were pretty entertaining.
Overall I encourage anyone who enjoys a few good laughs in a romance movie to go and see it or rent/buy it when it comes out on VHS and DVD.
