Category Archives: MoviesMovie night and Stephen King…two of my favorite things. I settled in with my bowl of popcorn, popped in the DVD and prepared myself to be scared poopless. Then something strange happened. I know what you’re thinking, “It’s Stephen King. OF COURSE something strange happened.” Unfortunately, this strange thing resembled boredom.
Based on a short story, [...]
It’s not easy to speak openly and honestly to your kids about sex, especially not when you’re telling them about your sex life. What? You haven’t spent an evening with your 10 year old daughter discussing your past indiscretions? This unlikely premise is the basis of Definitely Maybe, a romantic comedy that begins with a [...]
It was only a matter of time before Hollywood execs paired up the two beautiful, goofy, romantic comedy stars: Aston Kutcher and Cameron Diaz, into one movie. Between the two of them I think I counted 8 bazillion romantic comedies. The pairing and plot were no brainers and you don’t really need a brain to [...]
Jonathan McQuarry (Ewan McGregor) is a lonely and socially awkward tax auditor who becomes friends with Wyatt Bose (Hugh Jackman), a slick, ultra-confident Manhattan lawyer.
The friendship seems suspect from the beginning; however Jonathan is too lonely to question his good fortune. Especially when Wyatt accidentally switches cell phones, setting off a series of credibility-defying moments. [...]
What do you do if you’re a movie producer with a convoluted (aka crappy) script and millions of dollars to blow? Apparently the answer to this question is “Hire Nicolas Cage”.

1. Galaxy Quest
Finally, the funniest movie on my list. I wasn’t prepared for how hard it would be to list the funniest movies. There are so many amusing moments but only those that made me laugh out loud earned a place on the list. A few movies had more moments than others, so they placed [...]
2. Shrek
Forget everything you thought you knew about fairy tales - the handsome prince saving damsel in distress while fighting fire breathing dragons and frightful green monsters. Shrek turns it all around and delivers a fresh and funny view into the magical world of make believe. Every fairy tale is fair game.

Ben (Seth Rogen), a 20 something slacker who’s greatest ambition is to launch a website dedicated to celebrity nudity (think Mr. Skin), is faced with fatherhood after a one night stand. The mother to be, Alison (Katherine Heigl), an ambitious entertainment journalist, worries about raising the baby alone. She and Ben begin an [...]
4. Office Space
If you have ever worked in cubical hell, then you will laugh manically at the pain and suffering of others who endure the mind numbing monotony of corporate America until they crack. It’s just good clean fun.
“Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day, filling [...]
5. There’s Something about Mary
There’s a reason why this movie shows up on all the Funniest Movie lists. At the time it was released, the shocking, over the top zaniest of the Farrelly Brothers was new and unexpected.
Mary (Cameron Diaz), was the most popular girl in high school and the object of class geek Ted’s [...]
