Yep, because I'll be dammed if I'm going to spend considerable time telling you all why this is a bad film. The warning signs are clear to see from the case cover, but no doubt there will be some out there asking "just how bad is it??” Well, I'll sum it up for you as best as I can.

 

So, this is the 2011 movie starring Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller,…

Madagascar 2 is really a very funny movie. This sequel is a step forward from the first one maybe because the story is more interesting and the plot is better developed. Also it is a non-stop laughing for an hour and a half with some very funny references from other movies. The cast of voices is great. Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett Smith and David Schwimmer repeating their roles as Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman are again so funny and amusing. Sasha Baron Cohen as king Julien is… Continue

I just got back from seeing a Tropic Thunder screening and all I have to say it was worth the wait. With all the recent press and backlash of the film I was still excited to see it. Also, after listening to NPR today with a interview with the president of the special olympics taking about now much the movie uses the word retarded, all I have to say to him is that well, um...he is retarded. This movie is funny as hell. On the verge of becoming something new, where I can't compare it to anything… Continue

Most of the press about the upcoming Ben Stiller comedy, TROPIC THUNDER, has centered around the replacement of heroin-addicted Owen Wilson, while missing the even bigger news. Look at this still from the movie and tell me who that hot, new, black actor is.

Can you can guess it?...





Look closer...





Here's a hint: He's actually not any of those adjectives I used...





Is he starting… Continue
