Uncle Buck: a classic comedy


Last night "Uncle Buck", starring John Candy was on. So I decided to watch it. I had not seen this movie in years and you know what. It was great. Hilarious doesn't describe this movie. It was jaw dropping fun.

Today's comedies are too vulgar for me most times and they seem to have very weak plots. That's why I like to watch older comedies. The plots were great, believable, and the cast were acting not poorly delivering dirty jokes.

For those of you who haven't seen it. Here's the Plot. Buck(John Candy) has to get his act together enough to take care of his brothers 3 kids while he is away helping his wife care for her father. Buck's problems come in while caring for the oldest Tia, a rebellious teenager, washing clothes, dealing with his girlfriend and his single neighbor Marcy. John Candy was at his best in this film. And I seriously suggest seeing "Uncle Buck". RENT IT! BUY IT! LOVE IT!

Across The Universe



I just saw this movie about a week ago, and I loved it. And I'll tell you why. "Across the Universe"features 34 Beatles' songs (Beatles fan) and includes cameo's by Bono, Eddie Izzard, Salma Hayek, and Joe Cocker. Joe Cocker delivers a stellar vocal, singing "Come Together" While Bono and Eddie Izzard produce fun and entertaining version of "I am Walrus" and "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite" respectively. Excluding the big stars, T.V. Caprio (Prudence) delivered the best version of "I Want to Hold Your Hand" I have ever heard, Joe Anderson's (Max) "Hey Jude" was not the best I have ever heard but I still thoroughly enjoyed it, and Jim Sturgess, WOW. Everything Jim sang I enjoyed, from "All You Need is Love" to "Revolution". Evan Rachel Wood's entire performance was amazing but I don't feel like the producers capitalized on her voice. Even when the cast sang together(I normally don't like) I loved it. Especially there interpretation of "Dear Prudence" and "With a Little Help from My Friends". Simply amazing. Oh and one more song I would like to point out as phenomenal "Let it Be"preformed by Carrol Woods. Besides that, the entire story is based on Beatles music. All of the major and minor characters are based on Beatles song's. So I look at this film like a long and enjoyable music video for the Beatles. My hat is off to the Julie Taymor the director and co-writer, thank you for this wonderful film.


I seriously suggest renting this movie, buying this movie, and even buying the soundtrack. I DID. However when buying the soundtrack make sure and buy the Deluxe edition. I didn't and ended up having to buy the deluxe to get all the songs I wanted.

Stargate: The Ark of The Truth



Well I would just like to say that I am excited about the release of this movie. It is due to release on March, 11 2008, so I guess like four days. Sadly for me I pre-ordered it so it probably will not arrive till later in the week. Either way I'm happy to get to see it.
I have heard a few negative comments about this movie and I hope they are not true. People are claiming it felt like two episodes smashed into a 90 minute low budget movie. I can only surmise that these people's expectations were to high. The movie was only allowed 7 million dollars, which is twice as much as they would spend on a regular episode. It is also releasing straight to DVD. With both of those facts in mind, I don't expect to see Star Wars or Star Trek however I do believe it will be more than satisfying.
Stargate: The Ark of The Truth will pick up where the 10Th season left off and properly end the series. To follow will be a Sequel called Stargate: Continuum which will release some time in June. This will not deal with the TV show at all other than the same actors will be in it. It will be set in a parallel universe in the 50's dealing heavily with time travel. So if TAOTT doesn't attract a new audience hopefully Continuum will.
Between the two a movie chain will hopefully launch and all the complainers will get there big budget film. Not to say that I don't want one. I just know that complaining about theses movies will not assist in the production of more movies.
So right now I would like you all whether fan or not take a look at this movie, buy it, rent it...click the title of this blog you will be directed to imdb where you can read about this movie. I hope you all enjoy it, as much as I know I will.
