Wedding Crashers (2005)
good comedy
Nice comedy here. At first I thought this was just another one of those movies that were 'supposed' to be funny. But then, this one turned out to be a blast. Not a laugh-out-loud, slapstick type of comedy, but one that can get you laughing, and smiling, too.
Actually, I was more like chuckling than laughing at the characters' antics. But the nice thing about this one was that all the major characters delivered the laughs...butler included.
I think girls would like this movie. It's got a nice touch to it. Although the main characters are guys, the scene stealers happened to be the girls, especially Isla Fisher.
Not much to say about the great Christopher Walken, though. But I think his presence in the movie gave the film some legitimacy.
Dwight Yoakam? I didn't know he was in there!
The Year of the Yao (2004)
Yao Ming the man, the NBA player, up close and personal
I found the movie quite entertaining, and also informative. Funny, but entertaining. Cleverly done, and well-written. Too bad this film focused only on Yao Ming's rookie season and not his other succeeding seasons. And because it focused on his freshman year only, it kind of gave the film an 'old' feel, not exactly up-to-date. After all, we're in 2005, and Yao entered the NBA in 2002. Still, I'd have to say this documentary was one heck of a ride. I also liked the way the guys behind the making of this film, gave it a really personal touch, not just portraying Yao as the basketball player, but also portraying Yao as a person. But my favorite part of the movie was when Charles Barkley had to 'kiss' some donkey's posterior live on TV, as part of the bet he had against fellow TV commentator Kenny Smith that Yao could never score even 19 points in a single game. As an NBA fan, naturally I would tend to like the movie. But I liked the movie, period. Coz it's fun. Really nice.
D' Anothers (2005)
Jesus (Vhong Navarro) inherits an abandoned and dilapidated mansion haunted by ghosts who are waiting for him to "help" them...
This is a nice movie to watch if the only thing you need to get during a dull weekend is a laugh - and plenty of them. I found the movie highly entertaining and funny, but often too unoriginal for its own good. The laughs come in buckets, but often too predictably. There's not much originality in the movie, and they're the same things we too often see in Pinoy horror flicks that are supposed to be "comedies." As for the "scary stuff," well, there's hardly any. The supposedly scary scenes and characters just are not scary enough to frighten a 10-year-old. But then, this was intended to be a family movie, anyway. However, I would have to admit that this is one of the best comedies I've seen in quite a while.
