Review Icon irishgit reviewed Machete in Action & Adventure:
This completely over the top homage to grindhouse exploitation films is tremendous fun, with tons of gratuitous violence, some gratuitous nudity, and its tongue wedged firmly in its cheek. Co-directed by Robert Rodriquez (of the Mariachi films) this makes no attempt at campy tributes to the genre, but essentially recreates its gritty feel, upgrading it with better actors and a witty script, much more sophisticated cinematography.

Danny Trejo is manifestly enjoyable in the title role, slaughtering his enemies by the boxcar load and nailing virtually every attractive woman in sight. De Niro, Jeff Fahey, Don Johnson, and Steven Seagal turn in fine villainous performances and Cheech Marin's turn as a shotgun toting priest is worth the price of admission. Add to that Lindsay Lohan's nun with a gun, Jessica Alba's murderous stilletto heels, and Michelle Rodriguez' one eyed leather goddess act, and you have an exploitation movie to remember.

And Hell, any movie that includes an intestine bungy jumping scene has to be worth at least four stars on that basis alone.

This is far from great art, but its damn good fun.

Review Icon Loerke reviewed Jackass: The Movie in Comedy Movies:
Never pretends to be anything more than it is, and as such worth an occasional laugh. The best moments relate to awkward social interactions in the way of Trigger Happy TV. For example, the scene with the display toilet in the hardware store is a classic in its own way, and the rental car return is not far behind. Gets unwatchable when it's just another cattle prod or stupid stunt.

Review Icon Loerke reviewed Knocked Up in Comedy Movies:
I actually grew somewhat fond of Seth Rogen as the cock-blocking cop in Superbad, but he's very bad as a lead actor in a film. However, there's bad (Pineapple Express) and then there's wretched (Knocked Up). This film basically takes his side as he plays a slacker dealing with a shrill hyena (who embodies every other misogynistic stereotype you can name) who is all "responsible" and cares about trivialities like "survival." This is an ugly, ugly movie, wrong and unfunny on so many levels while cloaking its nasty politics in slacker laissez-faire. Even the lead actress called it a turd, yet it remains a darling among some critics. This is the kind of film that almost makes me grateful for Mel Gibson's rantings because at least they are transparent.

Review Icon Loerke reviewed Good Luck Chuck in Comedy Movies:
The accurate thing about this movie is that it's about a hex. But while the storyline would have us believe that the hex is on Dane Cook, the reality is that Dane Cook himself is the hex on the movie. We watched it looking in vain for a funny moment when Dane Cook was on the screen. Unfortunately, all the funny moments occur when this brick of an actor is not on the screen. For example, the wedding singers are funny. Dane Cook is not. Hopefully his career has gone the way of Mariah Carey's.

Review Icon pivic reviewed Nowhere Boy in Drama Movies:
This is a heartfelt film, intricately written and directed, not to mention the performance Aaron Johnson, who plays a young John Lennon, completely undaunted. It's basically a psychological story of a young man who grows up in a seemingly cold household with his aunt, estranged from his biological mother while struggling with the sudden death of his aunt's husband. All in all, a very caring, sweet and wonderful film. Beautifully shot, and who can dislike the music?

Review Icon EdwardNygma reviewed Spider-Man 2 in Sci-Fi & Fantasy Movies:
Spider-Man 2 wasn't as good as the first one. A lot of people consider SM2 to be one of the greastest super hero movies ever. It's actually one of the more mediocre. They did a great job developing Doctor Octopus, but if you look at the fights scenes, Doc Ock is getting beat up by Spider-Man. When the good guy is winning thoughout the whole movie, it's no fun, there's no challenge. Spidey also loses his powers, which works out in the comics, but not the movies, there isn't nearly enough time in a movie for the hero to lose his powers, then get them back. Tobey Macguire didn't play that great a Peter Parker either, he was way to whiny, and made Peter Parker seem like an idiot, yes he was able to figure out how Dr.Octavius's fusion reaction machine worked, but he still seemed like an idiot. Then there was the love story, the whole movie was basically about Peter Parker's love life, I hate it when a super hero movie is one big giant romance story.

Review Icon CanadaSucks reviewed Away We Go in Comedy Movies:

Offensively stupid 'comedy' from the director of "american beauty" - there's absolutely no trace of wit or irony in this film.

The characters aren't real at all - thus the jokes and awkward moments fell flat for me. The couple are either self-centered, boring, or douchey as they trope around North America seeing all the evil in the world they just can't stand.

Sam Mendes - you don't get America at all. . .what did middle-class life ever do to you?

Review Icon jrbizzare reviewed Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back in Comedy Movies:
My favorite kevin smith movie , I only have one complaint , there is a deleted scene where jay and silent bob are smoking a joint with scooby and the gang and jay looks down at scooby and says " oh shit he's got a stoner boner .... that shits big " and it shows scooby with his lipstick out . My complaint is that scene made me laugh my ass off , and it should have been in the actual movie .

Review Icon oldiesmusicfan101 reviewed Titanic in Drama Movies:
An overrated tragic romance, is what this movie essentially boils down to. You can go on all day about the camera work, and the detail they put into the ship, but camera work and a pretty setting do not make a good movie, (they do however make a pretty picture). A good movie needs a good script, actors and plot, which Titanic had none of.

To sum up; it was pretty as are many of Cameron's movies, and would have made a pretty picture, but not much else.
