Mean Girls (L)




Director : Mark Waters

Writer : Rosalind Wiseman
Co-Writer : Tina Fey


Main Cast:
  • Lindsay Lohan (Cady Heron)
  • Rache McAdams (Regina George)
  • Tina Fey (Ms.Norbury)
  • Amy Poehler (Mrs. George)


MPAA Rating : PG-13 for sexual content, language and some teen partying
Runtime : 97 Min
Company : Paramount Pictures


Mean Girls, a teenage comedy movie is also based partly on a non fiction book, Queen Bees and Wannabes written by Rosalind Wiseman. Raised in an African bush country by her zoologist parents, 16 year old home schooled Cady Heron moves back to America and has to start her first day at Northshore High and has to learn the rules of High School filled with stereotypical clichés including “The Plastics” an exclusive group of teenage girls led by the Queen bee, Regina George.



The plastics then decide to recruit Cady into their group but however Cady is still unsure of her relationship with them and seeks advice from her two new friends Damien and Janis, Janis seeing this as an opportunity to seek revenge at Regina George for starting a rumor about her sexuality, the three individuals then start to conspire a plan to bring Regina George down by cutting of her “resources” which are her friends, ex boyfriend and her body.



Cady at first doubted this plan and didn’t really want to cause any trouble but at the Halloween party Regina George purposely took back her ex-boyfriend, Aaron Samuels because she was jealous of Cady’s attraction to him. This conspiracy Cady and soon Janis, Damien and Cady implemented their plan to destroy Regina. However as Cady spends time with the plastics she too becomes one of them, the cliché she hated most. I really liked this movie, it’s a teen movie but realistic despite it’s exaggeration this movie shows the reflection of High School life which is really just a big exaggeration of things and that the real world shouldn’t be like that, Tina Fey did a really good job in writing a story that teenagers can relate to .




The humor is witty and smart and I also liked the portrayal of the characters, this was the breakout role for Lindsay Lohan and it’s a pity to what she has become now. Rachel Mc Adams was also very convincing as the self centered and somewhat crazy Regina George. This flick I would say is a dark comedy much like Heathers which became a cult hit but each of these movies were made in a different time with different issues. However I recommend this movie to well almost everyone out there who has gone through the agony of High School and just wants a good laugh.





Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (L)




Director : Shane Black

Writer : Brett Halliday
Co-Writer : Shane Black


Main Cast:
  • Robert Downey Jr. (Harry Lockhart)
  • Val Kilmer (Gay Perry)
  • Michelle Monaghan (Harmony Faith Lane)

Award :
  • Empire Award
  • PFCS Award
  • SDFCS Award
  • Satellite Award


MPAA Rating : R for language, violence and sexuality/nudity.
Runtime : 103 Min
Company : Warner Bros Picture


Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a movie mix of crime and comedy which basically based on the novel Bodies are where you find them by Brett Halliday. The reference for the film title is base on adaptation of Pauline Kael’s book which she called perhaps the briefest statement imaginable of the basic appeal of movies, which if you further think about it is an irony on films today that only use that appeal in their movies. Anyways the film is narrated by a small time criminal Harry Lockhart who fled after a robbery.




Harry avoids the police by ducking into a film audition and quite frankly is able to impress the producers with his either wise convincing method acting, hire him and fly him to Hollywood where Harry meets private investigator who happens to be gay, Perry Van Shrike who also helps him with his role for the movie. While at a Hollywood party Harry bumps into his highschool crush Harmony Lane, both of them leave to Harry’s apartment but the romance is crushed Harry somehow accidentally sleeps with Harmony’s friend because he was drunk. Meanwhile while working with Perry, Harry accidentally stumbles upon a kidnapping and murder conspiracy that involves a very high profile heiress.



With a crime scene that is intended to frame and incriminate Harry he is able to convince Harmony that he is a detective and both of them investigate her sister’s murder because Harmony believes that the murder of her sister is someone who is also targeting her.



As events related both of the crimes unfold Harry, Perry and Harmony cooperate together to investigate thus endangering all of their lives in the process and revealing a major conspiracy. First of all, I really love this movie I think this movie is funny, witty and well I love the people who star in this movie. Robert Downey is able to play the guy that who we perceive as a charmer and somewhat of a womanizer while Val Kilmer has gone back to his roots playing comedy, I think that he is funny without being over the top in anyway.




I recommend this movie to all comedy enthusiasts out there get a glimpse of Robert Downey before Iron man believe me, you won’t be disappointed.

Meet The Parents (T)




Director : Jay Roach

Writer : Greg Glienna

Co Writer : Mary Ruth Clark

Main Cast:

  • Robert Deniro (Jack Byrnes)
  • Ben Stiller (Gaylord "Greg" Focker)
  • Teri Polo (Pam Byrnes)
  • Blythe Danner (Dinna Byrnes)

Award:

  • ASCAP Award
  • American Comedy Award
  • Golden Screen
  • MTV Movie Award
  • People's Choice Award

MPAA Rating : Rated PG-13 for sexual content, drug references and language.

Runtime : 108 Min

Company : Universal Pictures



Stiller plays as Greg Focker (sounds like F*cker), a Jewish male nurse who is ready to propose to his girlfriend, Pam (Teri Polo), a schoolteacher. Problem is she catches him at the wrong time when she mentions that her father, who is hard to please, has agreed to her other sister's wedding proposal to be married on their front lawn.


It started when Greg and Pam go to meet her parents on Long Island, NY, to attend the wedding. Pam's father (Robert De Niro), who pretends as a retired florist to cover for his ex-CIA activities, and Pam's mother (Blythe Danner) who is a house wife and has a tender smile.

Everything goes wrong from the start of what should be an enjoyable weekend. Firstly, Greg screws up the family prayer at the dinner table when he hilariously mentions how to milk a cat (which he is telling bad jokes, and creates a sudden silence in the dining table haha).


Suddenly, there is a cat running named Mr. Jinx (De Niro's beloved pet), and he considers as much as a family member too. However Mr. Jinx has been trained to relieve itself in a toilet, but Greg act smart, and he doesn’t know that the cat is so important to De Niro, and at one point that the cat gets into the toilet flush too. Then there is the whole septic tank incident.

Her dad was so pissed off, and trying to examinate more on Greg by excruciating lie-detector test followed by the usual misunderstandings about marijuana, and the constant use of Greg's last name ad nauseam.


I just think he is the clumsy nerd with a core of humanity. We may not always understand his motives but we can't help but feel sorry for him, even if he spray paints a cat's tail! Hahaha


I just think ‘Meet the Parents’ was the best comedy movies I ever watch up to 2001 , where the movie released on 2000. It generates laughs through Greg’s increasing feelings of embarrassment and frustration. I highly recommended this movie, for those love COMEDY.. as i laugh so hard watching this movie.

i will definitely rate this movie as 8.5 out of 10 :)

It's got a nice idea for anyone who fancies changing the colour of their cat’s fur. Haha you should watch and you will understand it :)

Dracula Dead and Loving It (CLASSIC!) (L)




Talk about Dracula, don’t they just make you tired with all of that drama? Well not to worry because this movie actually that won’t bore you. One of them is Dracula Dead and Loving it the movie was released in 1995 and directed by Mel Brooks, a comedic director who brought you such films as Young Frankenstein (1974), Life Stinks (1991) and Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993).

The movie stars Leslie Nielsen, the iconic comedic actor who starred in many funny movies including Spy Hard, Mr. Magoo and Naked Gun. The movie itself is based on the legendary novel Dracula by Bram Stoker and some of the films it has inspired. In respect to the plot and characters the film is inspired by the classic Dracula starring Bela Lugosi it also spoofed the most recent adaptation of Dracula, titled Bram Stoker’s Dracula(1992).




The Plot is set in the year 1983 where a traveler named Thomas Renfield on a journey from London to Transylvania to meet an important client his destination is named “Castle Dracula”. As he nears his destination his coach driver refuses to take him any further at last he continues with his journey on foot.

Finally he reaches his destination and meets a man named Count Dracula who of course is a vampire, Dracula then sign agreement paper to purchase of Carfax Abbey in England. However he wakes up to the sight if two vampire brides seducing him, they were about to finish him off when Dracula appears and orders them out of the room. With this opportunity Dracula also casts a hypnotic spell on Reinfield making him his slave.



The duo soon begin with their journey to England where Dracula visits an Opera house and sets his eyes on a beautiful girl named Mina. Crazed for his love for Mina he tries everything possible to make Mina his vampire bride but with the arrival of famous Dr Van Helsing will he succeed? find out soon because i don't want to spoil the rest ;)

The story I think is quite refreshing I grew up watching Leslie Nielsen and think that he is the most iconic comedic figure around he knows how to push your laughing buttons and besides this spoof movie is better than any spoof movies today that just randomly poke at pop culture references, I’m not saying the movie of this plot was good it can be silly at times but it’s way better than spoof movies today that just have random cameos from celebrities.



Leslie Nielsen stole the show and Peter Macnicol as Reinfeild was also quite entertaining. One of the funniest scenes is when Dracula hypnotized both Mina and Essie at the same time you can’t help but laugh at his ridiculous attempt for true love. I recommend for movie fans to watch this movie because it is classic & ridiculously funny!
