“Groundhog Day” Movie Review
“Groundhog Day” Plot Summary
A weatherman finds himself living the same day over and over again.
Among the most novel and entertaining of movies, a genuine modern classic.
‘Groundhog Day’ is Bill Murray’s serious movie. Along with Andie McDowell they make great chemistry. ‘Phil’ is the wise-cracking weatherman who thinks he is too good for everyone else. He is in PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa to do a newscast, and wishes he were just about anywhere else. They get snowed in, have to spend the night, and the next morning at 6AM the fun begins
It is groundhog day again! He goes out, sees all the same people, doing and saying all the same things. To everyone else, this is the only time they have lived this particular day. But for Phil, it is the second time. In fact, every morning thereafter he awakes at 6AM to exactly the same music, the same day, it looks like itwill be for eternity
January 2007: Just watched it yet again, it never gets old. (pun)Feb, 2, 2009 – Groundhog Day – I just watched it again. Never gets old!!CAUTION–SPOILERS–At first, Phil takes the ‘repeat’ days to deal in funny, or cruel, ways with others he knows he will meet. He knows everything will be wiped clean and he can start fresh the next day. No one but he will remember what happened the prior day. After a while, he gets depressed at the thought of being sentenced to an eternity of living the same day, so he tries to kill himself. Jumping off a building, taking a bath with a toaster, driving a car off a cliff, getting into the path of a truck. He succeeds each time, however when 6AM comes the next day, he’s back in his bed, Groundhog Day again, and his daily cycle starts again. And eventually he decides to go ahead and try to make good use of his situation
So he takes on new hobbies. He becomes expert at ice sculpture, medicine, piano-playing, poetry, and a number of others. He comes to know all the people in town, not only their names but also intimate details of their lives. The film never hints at how many times he re-lives the same day. However, to gain all the proficiencies he did, it must have been several hundred. Perhaps even in the thousands. But that detail doesn’t matter
As he becomes more and more charming, he decides to try and seduce his producer, played by McDowell. Each day he gets a bit farther, only to show off as the real jerk that he is, then is slapped and snubbed. But each day, since he is the only one who remembers, he gets a bit further. However, he is destined to never get the girl, unless he really changes, and he doesn’t realize this
In the last 1/4 of the film, he has become a truly changed man. He helps people because it is the right thing to do. He is humble about his successes, and it is this change that ultimately attracts the woman of his dreams, and which gets him out of the seemingly endless cycle of re-playing Groundhog Day
And that, in a nutshell, is what the film is all about. In a unique way – the re-play of a day – it is a commentary on the need to be true and pure in our intentions to be able to get out of our rut and make any meaningful contribution to this world. I rate it ‘10′, and is one of my favorite movies of all time.

“Caddyshack” Movie Review
“Caddyshack” Plot Summary
An exclusive golf course has to deal with a brash new member and a destructive dancing gopher.
Masterpiece!
In writing this review, I am not going to attempt to draft out a lengthy summary outlining the pro’s and cons of this film. I’m also not going to talk about plot structure or the boundaries of character development. Furthermore, I’m not going to analyze the social ramifications of this flick, or discuss it’s effect on society. An achievement such as this, does not require that much thought or labor. Anyone who would try to do so, is a moron (And most likely a fan of those crap-filled ‘Lord of the Ring’ movies). Instead, I’m going to state this single opinion, in the simplest possible terms: ‘Caddyshack’ is not the greatest film ever. Heck, it’s not even my favorite (‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’). But, when speaking of features in the comedic genre of film, it is without a doubt, an undebatable fact, that ‘Caddyshack’, is the funniest of all time! Many women will argue that point (my girlfriend being one of the them), and that’s quite all right. Because ‘Caddyshack’ isn’t designed to appeal to an estrogen-ladened mind. Any guy, however, who decides to ridicule ‘Caddyshack’, needs to immediately check his equipment, to make sure that’s it’s still intact, as ‘Caddyshack’ is truly the ultimate guy movie, suitable for exposition at any function where alcohol is being consumed. If you’ve seen it… see it again. If you’ve never had the pleasure, quit reading this darn review, and acquire it immediately.

“Wayne’s World” Movie Review
“Wayne’s World” Plot Summary
Two slacker friends try to promote their public-access cable show. add synopsis
Sure is unique
It’s not at all hard to see why this early nineties comedy quickly became a huge cult hit with teenagers across the globe. Director Penelope Spheeris’ off the wall approach coupled with the ridiculously silly script from Mike Myers (‘Wayne’), Bonnie and Terry Turner, really helps ‘Wayne’s World’ appeal to an audience fully prepared for cinema completely void of seriousness
Mike Myers and Dana Carvey are Wayne and Garth, two rockin’ dudes from Aurora, Illinois who have their own TV. show which they broadcast from Wayne’s basement. When ruthless entertainment executive Benjamin (Rob Lowe) sees the program, he signs the guys to a major network in the hope that he’ll be able to exploit them and make lots of money. Meanwhile Wayne has fallen for the lead singer of a local heavy metal band (she’s a Robo-babe). and Garth fantasises of one day getting up the nerve to talk to his dream woman, or perhaps even sing to her! Bursts of absolute hilarity (look for Wayne’s ‘Happy Birthday Mr. President’) and segments of sheer stupidity leaves ‘Wayne’s World’ inconsistent, but there’s enough on going nutty humour to keep the viewer amused. Clever, tongue-in-cheek performances from the two leads and the supporting cast really help set the mood, while the whole movie’s ‘no set guidelines’ tack allows director Penelope Spheeris to do anything she pleases, and she does just that.’Laverne and Shirley’ get the royal treatment, as do many other telly and picture shows, and even Alice Cooper manages to send himself up. For something out of the ordinary, ‘Wayne’s World’ sure is unique
Friday, September 16, 1994 – Astor Theatre
