Uninformed Reviews – Movies: April 2008

April flowers bring May showers and this year’s crop smells great.

Typically a dry time for the silver screen, 2008 is shaping up to be the best April since ’94.

I can literally smell the popcorn burning. Oh, crap, my microwave is on fire!

Forbidden Kingdom

Ghosts, goblins and the female orgasm reign supreme in the lost Kingdom of Forbiddia. Bruce Lee’s still got it, ladies!
Thumb Score = B+

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

An updated version of 80’s comedy farce Weekend At Bernie’s, this movie will make you laugh the pants off your butt. Terry Kiser, Bernie himself, makes a cameo in the sexy, yet PG-13, pool scene. Hilarious!
Thumb Score = A-

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay

Probably the most gripping documentary of the year, we’ll see what President Bush has to say about this latest offering from that thin, lovable scamp – Michael Moore. The look on Dick Cheney’s face after he accidentally shoots his friend with an arrow is worth the price of admission.
Thumb Score = B+

Street Kings

Ice Cube, Mark Wahlberg and George Clooney are back together in this sequel to the 1999 blockbuster Three Kings. The boys are scouring the world looking for more gold and this time they might just find some…under the streets. The scene where Ice Cube raps about gold while Clooney shows off his gold teeth will go down in the annals of cinema as the goldest scene of all time.
Thumb Score = A-

21

The Olsen Twins can finally buy liquor and how do they spend their 21st birthday? By swapping identities and trying to hook up their divorced parents? I hated it.
Thumb Score = D-

Run, Fat Boy, Run

The classic Dr. Seuss book comes to life with superstars Dan Hedaya and Harvey Fierstein lending their voices. Sun, Bat Toy, Sun…Run, Fat Boy, Run. It’s Suessitacularistic!
Thumb Score = A

***Classic Uninformed Review***

Citizen Kane

The Bond film that started them all…Orson Wells as James Bond, Adam West as Q and Dolly Parton as Titty Chesterfield and who can forget The Beatles’ songs?
Thumb Score = AA++
