Skip and Harry are framed for a bank robery and end up in a western prison. The two eastern boys are… add synopsis
Classic Comedy
Comedic Legends Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor have been paired together numerous times, but this is quite possibly the most memorable of all their comedies as a duo. The plot is actually quite simple, they both flee New York to find a small peaceful town, then while finding work they are framed for a bank robbery and placed behind bars, then in the thick of it all they plan an escape while Wilder’s character participates in the Prison Rodeo. All in all it is a classic comedic performance from both Wilder and Pryor. Wilder’s character brings probably some of the biggest laughs of all time. His film career is legendary, but these laughs are truly memorable from him. Pryor also is a very hilarious friend sort of character. This has truly the makings to go down as probably one of the greatest comedies of the 1980’s.10/10

“Dances with Wolves” Plot Summary
Lt. John Dunbar, exiled to a remote western Civil War outpost, befriends wolves and Indians, making him an intolerable aberration in the military.
The best film of all time
Many people regard a lot of films as ‘top class’ but I always keep a little shelf in my mind for the films that I regard as the best films of all time – films that are simply timeless masterpieces. Welcome to the top of that shelf! There are certain criteria by which films are judged and greatness is only obtained when all the criteria are satisfied in full. Dances with Wolves is the greatest timeless masterpiece of cinema to date because it satisfies all these criteria: 1) Cinematography: the sweeping landscape photography of the Frontier combined with the subtle night-time photography earns top marks. Aside from Oscars for Cinematography and editing, it also won the ASC award for Outstanding achievement in Cinematography – as well as a host of other industry recognition awards. In short – the cinematography is breathtaking.2) Sound/Score: the score is one of the best ever written. Again, awards rained from the sky for magical and moving score that combined seamlessly with the film/story.3) Screenplay: The dialogue and plot is magnificent. The film does not fall into the common plot formulas found in other films that attempt to pass themselves off as epics. The story combines as both of celebration of life and a somber rumination of the history of mankind
There are comical moments, dramatic moments and tear-jerking moments – that all make their entry (and exit) into the story with flawless timing.4) The Acting: for all that has been said about Kevin Costner, this was the peak of his career and he played the role of John Dunbar to perfection. A relatively unknown band of actors gave magnificent, heart-felt and down-to-earth performances in support. It was actually refreshing to see an ‘EPIC’ where the producers didn’t feel the need to throw famous actors in with cameo roles to improve it marketability. As far as I was concerned, there were no weak links in the chain on the acting side of things. Kevin Costner certainly proved his worthiness as a director by getting the best out of the cast.5) The ONLY film in history to…. Have an extended (director’s cut) version that was better than the original. Due to concerns about the length of the film, Dances with Wolves was stripped back to three hours. Some complained that it was still too long, but I thought that the film was patient – it included good relevant detail but managed to keep the story moving at a good pace. The director’s cut added an hour to the cinematic release and was, without a doubt, better than the original. It somehow added more intrigue to the story and included many sobering insights into the destruction of the American Indian race
Over all, I regard it as the greatest most masterful epic of all time.

“Hitch” Movie Review
“Hitch” Plot Summary
While helping his latest client woo the fine lady of his dreams, a professional “date doctor” finds game doesn’t quite work on the gossip columnist with whom he’s smitten.
Welcome to Bland World
Nothing about this movie stands out as either being great or terrible
In the end, that is what kills it. The blandness is just not good. I can’t say I expected better from Will Smith, but I definitely did from Kevin James of ‘The King of Queens’– but, hey, I’m getting used to saying that a lot lately. This film attempts to make its mark as a witty romantic comedy, but it never hits the bull’s-eye. In fact, it never hits *anywhere* within the target. The allergy scene is disturbing; the fact that Kevin James can’t dance is something that wouldn’t exactly catch anybody off-guard, and is therefore (in a movie like this) not funny. This movie constantly tries to win your heart, but always with the wrong ploy at the wrong time. Some parts are okay (but I’m searching my brain for examples), but I really think this movie should be avoided.

“Sweet Home Alabama” Movie Review
“Sweet Home Alabama” Plot Summary
A young woman with a white trash background runs away from her husband in Alabama and reinvents herself as a New York socialite.
A Light Comedy That Anyone Can Enjoy
Sweet Home Alabama was a sweet and enjoyable little movie. It’s just meant for entertainment like a lot of other films and that’s exactly what this movie did, entertain. It doesn’t have to have a deep to the heart beautiful story line to be a good movie. Reese Witherspoon did wonderful in her part and so did Patrick Wilson. I loved watching her be so rude and preppy in ‘The Heart Of Dixie,’ and there are a lot of laugh out loud moments in this film, such as, when they went to the bar and she is ‘reunited’ per say with a lot of her old friends, and the part where she first sees Jake(Wilson) for the very first time. Overall, Sweet Home Alabama should just be watched for fun. Don’t be expecting too much of it.

“Zoolander” Movie Review
“Zoolander” Plot Summary
At the end of his career, a clueless fashion model is brainwashed to kill the Prime Minister of Malaysia.
Zoolander – Colorful, Creative, Original and Thoughtful.
By the exaggerated tagline, ‘3% body fat, and 1% brain activity,’ I just knew that Zoolander was going to be smart and funny. And, it was. If you can rise above the literal visual interpretation to the gasoline pump fight, you’ll find it too, has an underlying educational, or at least, helpful message. The characterizations of good guy versus bad guy are whimsical, creative, colorful, and funny. Derek Zoolander, (Ben Stiller) is Ben’s wonderfully exaggerated version of the male model, one who is offering his best attempt to be ‘Balls Models’ 4th year in a row, model of the year. Sadly, he loses to Hansel, (Owen Wilson) a sweet blue, green, star eyed, soft lined, model. At the loss, quirky, carefree and complex, Derek questions his reflection in a puddle of water, ‘Who Am I?’ In search of an answer to his question, he returns home to the coal mines of New Jersey, where his generally reluctant father, Larry Zoolander ( John Voight) and what looks to be his two evidently, (one Judah Friedlander) inarticulate brothers, reside. But, it is Derek’s agent, Maury Ballstein (Jerry Stiller) who encourages him to return to New York, so that Derek can take on the assignment, as model for Mugato’s (Will Ferrell) ‘Derelicte,’ campaign. Maury is passionate and sincerely wants for his models to succeed, at making a living, in modeling. Mugato is obsessed with having Derek assassinate Malaysia’s prime minister, Hassan (Woodrow W. Asai), one with a fondness for fashion and vogue, and a desire to increase pay standards, in the production industry. Derek takes the job, but little does he know that Mugato’s black leathered assistant, Katinka, (Milla Jovovich) will be leading him into a day spa, that is more like a torture chamber, one designed to brainwash him into assassinating Malaysia’s leader. Matilada Jeffries, (Christine Taylor) a reporter for Time, assigned to reporting on fashion events, will soon find herself in the midst of discovering a personal life, originating from her professional one. And fortunately, Hansel, is more than a competitor to Derek, but a friend, who saves both Derek and the leader of Malaysia, from an untimely death
The entire script is so creatively and colorfully articulated and presented, that one cannot help but have just so much fun, or alternatively be filled with suspense, as to whether or not Mugato will have his way with Derek. David Duchovny’s scene, (mystery man on the cell phone), as scruffy bearded, eye glassed, and glass encased hand, J.P. Prewitt, at the cemetery, is really well done. In an interestingly woven monologue, he begins by explaining buried models’ pre-mature deaths, scenes that include butt cheeks and abs sculpted on gravestones. It’s very Tim ‘Robbinseque’ in mood and tone and very well performed
Zoolander was much more rich in plot, characterization, and development than I had expected, after hearing, that ‘it didn’t get great reviews.’ And the story still results in a very happy ending. Good wins over evil, and good guy hero gets girl. So who is Derek Zoolander? Answer: A really sweet guy, who is cute, funny, sensitive, articulate (although can’t say eulogy, and instead says ulogee, but just adds more to his cute and funny attributes), and one who, we gather, has a terrific girlfriend, and cool best friend, with whom he pursues one of his true life long passions, to open up a school for kids, ‘to read really good.’ Zoolander is absolutely a ‘hip’comedy for every audience member.

“Signs” Movie Review
“Signs” Plot Summary
A family living on a farm finds mysterious crop circles in their fields which suggests something more frightening to come.
Great thriller!
The newest film in the legacy of M. Night Shyamalan, SIGNS manages to pull off some very effective creepiness in the very beginning and also holds your interesting throughout the course of the film. Mel Gibson is great, aswell as Joaquin Phoenix. The film was very creepy and contains steadily mounting terror. Vaguely similar to Mark Pellington’s THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES, the film keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
The film is scary and in some cases, disturbing. The aliens are very well designed. The film actually surprised me. I was not expecting Shyamalan to stick with the story so very closely throughout the entire film almost. With his earlier works, THE SIXTH SENSE and UNBREAKABLE, he focuses on the relationships between family members very closely to create a lot of drama that has a payoff. But, most of this film is taken up by fast-moving situations that involve alien activity and crop circles. My only complaint, and I mean ‘only’, is that the film tries way too hard to be funny. It tries much harder than Shyamalan’s earlier works and is the type of humor that is not ‘laugh-out-loud’, but it is funny because you were not expecting it in a sci-fi suspense thriller. The sequences of the film that are scary, ARE scary. They could have been a little more effectively done, but otherwise, they were very well-crafted. SIGNS is a great movie that will live in movie history forever in both the genres of thriller and sci-fi. SIGNS gets 5/5.
