I just looked up several lists of the worst movies ever made, and although i agree that Catwoman, Batman & Robin, Caddyshack 2, and Battlfield Earth are all terrible, not one list had what i consider to e the worst movie ever. Seriously, if you want to lose about an hour and a half of your life while getting so stupid that you don’t even think to turn the damn thing off or just kill yourself, then i ask you to watch this movie immediately.
it’s so bad it gets no stars, but a black hole, 2 thumbs way down and the sounds of babies crying. watch it. i dare you.
The music of the Beatles is used to capture the heart of perhaps the most thought about decade in american history, the 60s. Combined with impeccable acting and singing, also done by the actors, and an incredibly artistic visual presentation, Across the Universe is one of the most creative and abitious movies i have ever seen.
In a venture such as this, a true Beatles fan would get worried that the music might be changed or treated disrespectfully. It couldn’t be further from the truth. The arrangements and song choice were executed so perfectly, that it only could have been done by a huge fan. The same is true for the actors singing performances. They really immersed themselves in the songs and it didn’t hurt to have cameos from Salma Hayek, comedian Eddie Izzard, Joe Cocker, and Bono whose performances were equally invigorating.
The visual creativity of the film is nearly unmatched. Several techniques were used to give a vision of not only the 60s as they progressed, but also the look and feel of the Beatles “periods”. Sock-hops to Blue Meanies; you get it all.
If you see this movie and are not moved, then I have to say that you have no heart and more importantly, no soul. This is the best movie I’ve seen all year and will be seeing it again as soon as i can. It was truly, in a word, beautiful.
I was interested in seeing Superbad, from the maker of 40 Year Old Virgin, from the get go. When a friend of mine told me it was a must see comedy like he’s never seen before, i made sure to see it immediately. After seeing it, I thought to myself, “like he’s never seen before?” Apparently he’s never seen an 80s movie before.
This is the classic 80s scenario in which two or more “losers” are attempting to get some and the crazy adventures thar ensue. I am not saying it is in anyway unorignal though. It was more highly influenced and in a way an homage to those types of films.
The lead roles of seth and evan, played by former co-star comic reliefs Jonah Hill and Michael Cera, are two long life friend who have never been apart and are about to be split up in their next venture to college. Because of their awkwardness, their relationship transcends friendship into an almost romantic gayness that is absolutely and innocently hilarious. They feel that they need to really party down and get laid before college because it is and i quote, “their last chance”.
The somewhat smaller characters in this movie include 2 hysterical unorthodox cops and a annoying and dorky third wheel. One of the cops is played by the author, Seth Rogen, who I can say with fervency is an incredible comic writing talent.
This movie is CRAZY FUNNY! It’s a beautifully modernized Weird Science who’s script is bounds more clever and who’s characters are developed to the point of the audience empathizing and caring. The two main characters at times even presented an awkward sheepishness like that of Woody Allen.

Well, there’s my list. Can you think of any other movies that would simply ruin your chances of a goodnight kiss?
Have you seen “This is Spinal Tap”? If not, crawl out from under your proverbial rock and buy it. It will be one of the best purchases you ever make.
If you have seen it, then you must see “The Return of Spinal Tap”. It is not a sequel, but a concert with small updates of what the band has been up to since last seen. I is full of great music, hilarious lyrics, full versions of songs only partially heard in the movie, devilishly clever insights from the band and crew, and of course…STONEHENGE.
If ever a band went to 11 it is SPINAL TAP. Get all that you can.
From the deliciously funny minds of cast members of Reno 911 and MTV’s The State, comes this wonderfully silly comedy about professional and underground ping pong. Do not enter this movie expecting anything more than you should. It is stupid as hell and that is definitely on purpose.
Christopher Walken’s performance as Master Feng, holder of the final tournament, is flawless and hilarious as to be expected from him. This part must have been written with him in mind. More noticable though, is newcomer and star of the film Dan Folger. A strange blend of Jack Black and Sam Kinison, this actor is sure to be a star in the comedy realm; nailing both physical and comic timing with precision.
I will say again, “THIS MOVIE IS STUPID”, but you will laugh your frickin butt off.
