The Sitter

by Edward Dunn

"The evening soon explodes into an endless whirl of hair-raising adventures! Babysitter and kids leave their safe suburban surroundings and head for the heart of the big city, never imagining how terrifyingly funny their expedition will become!"
-Quote from IMBD Storyline

The IMDB storyline for The Sitter? No,  it's for Adventures in Babysitting (1987). Coincidently, it applies to this movie as well. They switched a few things around, kind of like Home Alone and Home Alone 2.

When I saw the preview for this movie: I thought they were trying make a bad movie look good.

There's that cliché of a female babysitter who invites her boyfriend over.

"My shirt is chafing me. Do you mind if I take it off?"

Thanks

The Muppets

Cast (Non-Muppets) Jason Segel........................ Gary Amy Adams...........................Mary Chris Cooper.................Tex Richman Rashida Jones............Veronica Martin I watched Labyrinth (1986) for the first time in July of 2007 (theatrical re-release). Walking out of the theater, I remember thinking a couple of things: 1. That suit David Bowie was wearing doesn't leave much to the imagination. 2. How happy I was, I had huge a grin on my face. Jim Henson penetrated through my very soul; that inner child that's in most of us. And for just one moment, all seemed right with the world.

My Week with Marilyn

by Edward Dunn

People who are talented and good-looking aren't taken seriously, at least that's been my experience. Yes, beautiful people really do have to put forth much more effort. A 20th century fox; at this point, she was 30 years old, married to Arthur Miller. The focus of this movie was entirely on Marilyn. This movie takes place during the filming of The Prince and the Showgirl 1957. Inborn talent for acting, with no formal training to speak of. Next to Adolph Hitler, she is one of the most photographed people of the 20th century. An American icon, like James Dean, Judy Garland, or Ronald McDonald.

Jack and Jill

by Edward Dunn

 

JACK AND JILL
91 Minutes
Director: Dennis Dugan
Writers: Adam Sandler, Steve Koren
Adam Sandler, Katie Holmes and Al Pacino
 
Oh, foe and cursed thing! What demon from the depths of hell created thee?
 
-Homer Simpson 
 

Nick Cage and Adam Sandler are having a contest of whom can make the most bad movies..

Sandler is slightly ahead in this race. There is a difference between the two. Nicolas Cage has major tax problems; he does not want to make bad movies, he just has to. Adam Sandler has too much money and too much time, his movies just keep getting worse. 
 
I crapped all over JUST GO WITH IT. Could this movie be worse than that one? Yes, I know that sounds impossible; like finding a temperature below absolute zero. 
 
Jetson's Meet the Flintstones, taking two bad things, and making something much, much worse. This movie is a strange combination of WHITE CHICKS and MRS. DOUBTFIRE.  
 
Every joke was about how ugly and stupid his sister was; we get it already (like 'Sheneneh' on Martin).  
 
It's one thing to make a bad movie, it is quite another to tarnish the good name of Al Pacino (the actor-not the character from TROPIC THUINDER).
 
How did he get tricked into making this 'movie'. I suspect black male. Al Pacino killed a family member, had sex with the corpse, before torching their residence with molotov cocktails—all so he could collect the insurance money. The insurance money is used to cover up a previous, more heinous crime. That's it, there is no other explanation.
 
 
Final Verdict: Guilty 15 out of 100

Sidenote: In JACK AND JILL Jill kind of looks like BLOSSOM (Mayim Bialik), huh?, maybe it's just me.



Hugo (3D)

by Edward Dunn

Well, it's official, Martin Scorsese ended his love affair with Leonardo DiCaprio. He wasn't in this movie and he is mysteriously absent from Scorsese's last film, the documentary on George Harrison. Movie Tagline: One of the most legendary directors of our time takes you on an extraordinary adventure. Geez, Martin Scorsese must really have a high opinion of himself. But no, it's a clever play-on-words; the film is about another director (George Melies). Hugo has real actors, still, it felt like a cartoon, but not in a bad way.
