Very few things make me laugh harder than the look on Pill’s face following “Kim and I are totally cool, now.”

Checkmate.

No offense, but I can’t believe that this is a go-to even 20 years later. If only for the return of the Soup Nazi (and the SNL “Oz” crossover), it’s really impossible for me to put this in the same category as, say, the HIMYM finale (which I could’ve forgiven for its flaws if it had the good sense to not have Ted and…

With actual scripting in place of improv and a more substantial villain, the film could’ve been less yawningly average. Good cast, in any event.

Not bad for the Dutch Elm Disease of the family tree. Can’t wait.

One of the guys behind Dumb and Dumber To an Academy-Award winner?

I can understand why Tom sticks to live-action and primarily theatrical entries. Throw in the DTV DC and Marvel movies, we’ll be here until doomsday. Still, do check out the animated Wonder Woman. Very well done.

One of the biggest laughs I had in a movie the year I saw it was the end of the sequence where the animated characters were panting heavily because of how winded they were after all the dancing.

So I guess Avatar 2: Avatarder is out of the question?

I saw this a few days after Christmas. Within ten minutes, I totally got the vibe that the movie was laying down. I still maintain that Frank Miller couldn’t decide if he wanted to make a serious movie or a silly movie, so he made both and threw it to his editors to make sense of it. As far as comic book cinema, it is…

If nothing else, the variation on Spider-Man’s ‘bike messenger’ bit was amusing.

Movie scores are still my jam. I grew up watching a lot of movies on television, resulting in some of my first fave soundtracks being Lalo Schifrin’s Rollercoaster, Charles Fox’s 9 to 5, David Shire’s Short Circuit and John Morris’ High Anxiety.

I was thinking of the inverse of that one bit in RED where the car spins around and - while it’s spinning - Bruce Willis casually steps out and fires his gun at Karl Urban.

On the one hand, I can’t imagine anyone but Vincent Price as Phibes (or Edward Lionheart, for that matter). On the other, I’d see an Edgar Wright remake of either one opening day.

Good write-up. However...

The main flaw of Retaliation: Roadblock didn’t offer anyone a body massage. Damn good flick, otherwise.

Superman Returns, X-Men: the Last Stand, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Zoom... to quote Dewey Cox, “This is a dark fuckin’ period!”.

And could you imagine a show like this with those two?

If you asked a random person on the street to produce a trailer based on the pitch ‘Will Ferrell as Sherlock Holmes’, this is exactly what it would look like.

Robert Wise went from editing Citizen Kane to directing the likes of West Side Story and The Haunting. Not too shabby.
