Death at a Funeral is a remake of a movie of the same name from 2007. The original is an oppressively British comedy without much actual comedy in it, directed by Frank Oz. I know some people were waiting to see the new Death (that’s what I’m calling it from this point on) until they [...]
I have been pretty excited for the new Tina Fey and Steve Carell movie Date Night. I absolutely love Tina Fey as Liz Lemon on the TV show 30 Rock and Steve Carell was funny in movies such as Bruce Almighty and Anchorman. (No, I don’t think that The Office is funny. At all.) So, [...]
How to Train Your Dragon is a family friendly, heartfelt children’s comedy. It’s got a good mixture of laughs for the parents and plenty of laughs for kids. I wasn’t convinced by the trailers I saw. It looked way too stock; too many silly kid jokes and I thought the main kid’s voice was too [...]
