Okay, so Robin Williams has a new movie coming out this Friday (FINALLY!), but I'm not too thrilled about it. It doesn't appear to be one of his strongest films. In fact it looks like one of his worst. 'RV' seems to be set around nothing but crude and slapstick comedy causing the movie to look like it was made for 12 year olds. I do have high HOPES for the movie because it also starts Cheryl Hines, who does a great job as Cheryl David in "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and Jeff Daniels (The Squid & The Whale, Dumb and Dumber) also stars.

But other than the fact that "RV" doesn't look great I must say:

ROBIN WILLIAMS IS THE MAN!

What is your favorite Robin Williams movie?

Mine is by far "Mrs. Doubtfire" but "Hook," "Aladdin," "The Birdcage," "Jack," and "House of D" are also wonderful films!

Let me know what you think!!!

Also HAPPY FEET (a film about dancing penguins) opens this November and I CAN'T WAIT! I lvoe penguins, I love Robin Williams... what could be better?

Okay two movies I haven't seen, but look really bad are out on DVD today:

Aeon-Flux is available and is set in the future. I couldn't tell what it was about from the trailer, but that could be because I could barely stand to sit through it! And If I can't sit through TWO MINUTES of Aeonflux, how am i going to make it through the whole movie?

Also Final Fantasy 7 was released on DVD today. I remember the first one had amazing animation and the second one... oh wait a second... there wasn't a second one! Come to think of it, where are parts 2 - 6? Just wondering...

Take the Lead is a true story about a man, played by Antonio Benderas, who tries to turn Juvenille Delinquents' lives around through balroom dancing. The film is kind of a "School of Rock" meets "Shall We Dance" and is suprisingly entertaining for anyone. To begin with I thought it would be more of a "chick-flick" type teen movie, but it actually has something for everyone. It made ballrom dancing look like alot of fun and it showed how ballroom dancing can be interpreted different ways by different people (For instance, doing the foxtrot to Hip-Hop music... very interesting.) I definitely recomend this movie and say that even if you don't want to see it, go, because you will be plesently surprised.

Thank You for Smoking kicks the crap out of anything our parents have ever told us about tobacco. The film follows Nick Naylor a lobbyist for big tobacco companies, and shows how you can spin the truth to make people buy your product. The film is a hilarious spoof on marketing in the real world and will leave you laughing until the very end. This movie can be summed up in one word: AWESOME!

Duck Season really suprised me. Not only is it a well made independant film, but I was suprised when the film started and I couldn't understand a word anyone was saying.

BE WARNED: DUCK SEASON IS IN SPANISH!

After you get past the fact that you'll be reading for an hour and a half, the movie is really quite good. It follows two kids who are home alone on a Sunday night. They expect to only play video games and drink Coke, but their next door neighbor comes over to use the stove. While she is in the next room making "special brownies" the kids order a pizza. The pizza man is two minutes late delivering the pizza, and though the kids fairly deserve the free food, the delivery boy refuses to leave without his money. This movie is really very good, but I wouldn't suggest ti to anyone, because I don't know anyone who would have the patience to sit through a foreign film that has very little action. If you don't mind movies like this, then go see "Duck Season."

I also have to admit something to the world... This weekend I saw "The Notebook" and I liked it... well now that I have that off my chest

RENT "THE SQUID AND THE WHALE!" IT IS ONE OF THE BEST WRITTEN FILMS I'VE SEEN SINCE "CRASH" OR "SIDEWAYS."

Well, 1 was gross, 2 was better, 3 was the best, so 4 should be even better right? I mean, the trailer was amazing. The sets looked exactly like War of the Worlds and The grudge, the cinematography matches perfectly, and the special effects were worthy of any big time Hollywood film.

Well whoever made the trailer is a genius, because I seriously thought that the fourth Scary Movie would be the best. Instead, it stunk.

Scary Movie 4 wasn't as bad as February's "Date Movie," but it was pretty darn close. There were barely any funny parts in the movie and the only funny parts were things that were in the trailer. In fact, I felt as though I was watching the "Director's Cut" of the trailer.

The only two memorable lines I can remember were:

Cindy: SOmething weird is going on in this house. Last night I think I saw a face.

Tom: Did it have a nose?

Cindy: Yes.

Tom: Your right! That does sound like a face!

And then there was another crack made abotu Detroit that had be laughing. Other than that I was only entertained by the whole "Shaq and Dr. Phil meets Saw" sketch, which had me bawling. The first five minutes and the ending (where Cindy, Tom, and Brenda meet Saw) are the only good parts of the movie.

Oh, and James Earl Jones getting hit by a bus... that was funny too...

But anyway, I am here to report that the movie was thoroughly dissapointing and I wouldn't recomend it.

Oh and another thing... can anyone tell me why King Kong is on the movie poster? I don't even recall hearing anyone in the film MENTION King Kong... there were a few monkeys at the beginning, but I think they were baboons...

I don't know...

4 is my lucky number and I hope it is also lucky for the "Scary Movie" franchise.

On Friday Scary Movie 4 opens and will make fun of some of my favorite films and pop culture icons.

Among these are:

Brokeback Mountain - Anthony Anderson and Chingy have a SPECIAL relationship

War of the Worlds - Ipods are taking over the world... LITERALLY

Saw - Dr. Phil and Shaq are dragged into Jigsaws twisted game

The Village - Carmen Electra and Chris Elliot have a foot race

The Grudge - Giving the characters a helping hand (sorry...bad pun)

King Kong
Million Dollar Baby
The Tom Cruise Oprah Stunt
Geroge Bush

One of my favorite films last year was Saw II and I was so excited when I saw that the character of Jigsaw is actually represented by the puppet! The Jigsaw Puppet is a character!

Personally I think this looks like the best Scary Movie yet... also, the music in the trailer is great...

"Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Cameleon!"

Napoleon Dynamyte fans' prayers have been answered with another hilarious comedy starring Jon Heder. Heder co-stars with Rob Schneider and David Spade as a group of outcast "older guys" who never had the opportunity to play baseball as kids, because they were picked on.

Now these Benchwarmers have created a three man baseball team to give hope to young nerds everywhere, telling them that even though you've never kissed a girl you should still be allowed to have fun.

The movie may not be as witty as other films, but it will still make you laugh. And cameo appearences by Jon Lovits, Reggie Jackson, and Tim Meddows are also things to look forward to. The film is also a suprisingly good-hearted film and will leave you feeling good.

ALSO

Though ICE AGE: The Meltdown was not all it was cracked up to be, I am not dissapointed I paid full price to see it.

A trailer for THE SIMPSONS MOVIE is displayed before the film, and though it is only 28 seconds long, it will make your weekend (if you are a Simpsons fan, that is).
