Drake & Josh (2004–2007)

The best (and only quality show) by Nickelodeon!

[10/10 · 11 September 2014]

Drake & Josh is truly one of the best sitcoms ever made! It features a realistic setting, good characters, and good life lessons.

Drake & Josh is a dangerously funny show about two boys living in San Diego, California with very different personalities who suddenly become brothers when their parents fall in love and marry. One is a permanently lucky, guitar playing heartthrob, and the other is an awkward but lovable geek. One of Josh's many gags is that he comically shouts single words at the end of sentences for emphasis. EMPHASIS! Drake plays guitar, rarely does his homework, and is a master at getting girls. Josh is a guy who goes out of his way to do well at school and everything else, which drives Drake crazy. Other characters include the sister, Megan, from Drake's side of the family, who pulls mean-spirited pranks on her brothers for no reason, especially Josh. She's the semi-antagonist, but she does care somewhat for her brothers, helping them more than a dozen times. Then there's Audrey Parker, who's Drake's attractive mother who's a firm but fair mom to Drake and Josh, and Walter Nichols, who's Josh's dad, and has a job as a weatherman for the city's local news station.

The show is hilarious with almost no flat jokes at all. Even though the show's a family sitcom, it's edgy enough for most adults to enjoy. Dude, I'm 21 and admittedly love this show! Unlike most Nickelodeon rubbish, this show remains watchable throughout the whole series. Definitely recommended for folks looking for humor as well as serious family issues. Watch it now!

Mad Men (2007–2015)

Excellent show that's both funny and realistic!

[10/10 · 18 September 2013]

Mad Men is an excellent show for television. The characters are interesting, the drama is impeccable, and the comedy is clever. This show is a drama, but it has some (very) funny moments!

The show is set in the 1960's in New York City, at an advertising agency on Madison Avenue. The series starts with Donald Draper, who's the protagonist, living under a secret identity. His real name is Richard 'Dick' Whitman and he's actually a war veteran. He was married to Betty Draper, who is beautiful but cold-hearted. She's the show's antagonist. She's rude, sadistic, and acts like she hates everyone. They have two beautiful children named Bobby and Sally. By the end of season 3, however, Don and Betty run into problems when she discovers who he REALLY is. She divorces him and he marries Megan Draper, his beautiful, Canadian (from Montreal), and cheerful secretary, who's much prettier than Betty! The place that Don works is called Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce (formerly just Sterling Cooper), where he is one of the managers and is respected just as much as he's feared. Other people who work at the company include Joan Harris, Margaret 'Peggy' Olsen, Peter Campbell, Roger Sterling, and many others. Joan is sarcastic and girly but vastly intelligent, sometimes using her intellect to blackmail other workers, usually Peggy. Roger is a wise- cracking jerk, and Peter is the cynical younger version of Roger! Peggy is by far the friendliest one at the company, and the most loyal. They all have very clever dialogue which goes perfectly with what they do.

Season 1 was flawless, and everything after that became far more interesting. This show is very mature and very hard-hitting, with many surprises. This is a show you CANNOT miss! 10 stars for me definitely.

Bad Teacher (2011)

Fair movie about exactly how NOT to teach

[6/10 · 19 June 2013]

This movie Bad Teacher is not a great movie, but it's fairly enjoyable. Cameron Diaz gives a noteworthy performance but I found the other people gave average performances.

This movie is about a woman named Elizabeth Halsey who is forced to take a career in teaching when her sugar-daddy boyfriend (Nat Faxon) dumps her. Elizabeth is an amoral, arrogant, hateful woman who clearly hates teaching. She cusses at her students, drinks heavily, and she smokes- marijuana! The reason why she took the job is because she wants to raise enough money to get a BOOB job! A real woman would not need to get a boob job. Besides Elizabeth, there is the very sweet and VERY annoying Amy Squirrel (Lucy Punch), another teacher, and the semi-antagonist who begins to hate Elizabeth when she finds out what she's doing. Amy is a beautiful optimist who enjoys teaching and speaking with her students while Elizabeth hates it. Elizabeth and Amy are complete opposites, which is one the plots of the movie. But deep down, REALLY deep down, Elizabeth does have a good heart but does a lousy job of showing it. Other people on this film include Jason Segel as Russell Gettis, a gym teacher who is smitten with Elizabeth, Justin Timberlake as Scott Delacorte, a substitute teacher whom Elizabeth likes, Phyllis Smith as Lynn Davies, Elizabeth's best friend and assistant, and many more. I really liked Jason Segel in this, just like I did in other movies, especially Knocked Up! He is a very funny man. This is a good movie, but it's definitely not for everyone.

This movie, Bad Teacher is not really as funny as it could be, but there are still a few laughs in this. I enjoyed it. I liked Cameron better in The Mask, which is a better movie than this. Enjoy the movie, but just don't expect too much!

Vacation (1983)

Vacation is a must-see movie!

[10/10 · 24 May 2013]

This movie is really funny and really touching as well! There is nothing that I hated about this movie at all. This movie is a must see for anyone willing to take a deserved vacation, or just to be seeing it, and you must.

Clark Griswold, played by Chevy Chase, is the stubborn but loving husband and dad who takes his family on a cross country drive from Chicago to Los Angeles, running into almost every problem imaginable! Also part of the wonderful cast is Beverly D'Angelo as Ellen, Clark's beautiful wife, Imogene Coca as Aunt Edna (the semi-antagonist), Anthony Michael Hall as Rusty, Dana Barron as Audrey, and many other people who helped make this movie such a success. The Griswolds first stop in St. Louis to see the Gateway Arch, but they end up in a scary, crime-ridden neighborhood. They have their car's hubcaps stolen and their car spray painted to say 'Honky Lips", all while Clark asks for directions! In one of the funniest scenes, Clark dozes off behind the wheel and drives throughout the city asleep, but when it's over, everyone inside is fine. They then travel to pick up Aunt Edna, who hates Clark for no reason. They all get hilariously sidetracked when on the road!

I loved this movie, and whoever reads this review must watch it later. This movie is touching, dramatic, and of course funny.

The Town (2010)

FLAWLESS movie with a soul!

[10/10 · 26 March 2013]

This movie was the perfect criminal movie and with a soul! The entire cast gave amazing performances and I really liked the emotion in this classic.

Ben Affleck plays Doug MacRay, a professional Boston bank robber, where the movie takes place by the way, Jeremy Renner plays James Coughlin, Doug's ruthless criminal buddy, Rebecca Hall plays Claire Keesey, a bank manager who foolishly falls in love with Doug, and Blake Lively as Krista Coughlin, a young and beautiful slut with a 19 month old daughter. This movie was one of the best I've ever seen, with a wonderful performance by Ben Affleck, Rebecca Hall, AND Blake Lively! The soul part is the fact that Doug falls in love with a bank manager and will do anything to keep her safe. Their love is very strong until Claire finds out the truth about Doug. Blake Lively gave a surprisingly touching performance as the young beautiful woman trying to do right for her 1 and a half year old girl. This movie is the PERFECT film for most!

I loved this movie and I'm sure you will too if you watch it. Directed by Ben Affleck, it's a must-see movie with action and emotion!

True Jackson, VP (2008–2011)

Below average sitcom, but not terrible

[5/10 · 16 June 2012]

True Jackson VP is a show with an oddball plot and even odder characters. The show is funny at times, but isn't funny enough to satisfy most. Another Nickelodeon attempt at comedy, but mostly the show just ain't that funny!

True Jackson is about a 15 year old girl with the same name who gets chosen to become a vice president of a major fashion label called Mad Styles. True Jackson is the protagonist and the best character on the show. She always does the right thing, and never gets (too) angry. Set in New York, True has to deal with her REALLY high maintenance co-worker Amanda Cantwell, a woman who isn't too thrilled about having to work with True, a 15 year old girl. Amanda is extremely sarcastic and talkative, and a total suck-up to the boss. She would probably jump off a building for him! Then there's True's bubble-headed friends, Lulu and Ryan. Lulu's an average girly girl, not the brightest girl, but she's sort of smart in her own way. Then there's Ryan, a total idiot who is a HORRIBLE character inside out! HE gives the show its poor image, people. Max Madigan is the boss of Mad Styles, and sort of an airhead who can still do his job. Then there's Oscar, the odd male secretary, and Jimmy, the mail carrier who is literally obsessed with his work.

This show I wouldn't really recommend if you have high expectations. The characters are annoying (True isn't), and the plot is silly. A 15 year old girl becoming vice president of a New York fashion label? That doesn't happen in real life. Skip this show and see something better.

Toronto Stories (2008)

If you want to watch a good movie about big city life, this ain't it!

[2/10 · 6 April 2011]

Toronto Stories is not a good movie choice if you want to see a film about Canada. This film depicts Toronto in all the wrong ways, kid! This so-called movie isn't really even a movie, just a long commercial!

Toronto Stories is about the lives of four totally different people, all taking place in Toronto. But the film is just too dull and messy for any of those 4 stories to make sense! The damn dialogue is not good at all. The poor actors are talking throughout the movie, but there is nothing interesting in what they're saying. The actors themselves now, I don't think those actors are that bad, but in THIS film, they don't do a very good job. Carly Pope played the wife of an escape convict, and she played a kind of good role. There were a couple of good scenes in the movie, but unfortunately, the bad scenes outweigh the good ones, and the movie's just too boring for most people to enjoy. There are lots of other good movies that are boring but are at the same time interesting. Toronto Stories is not one of those movies.

I live in Toronto, and I hated this film! I think the movie could of been better if there was more comedy, and good comedy. This movie was also extremely unfunny. Please skip the movie Toronto Stories. This is a really terrible movie!

Futurama (1999– )

One of the best cartoons around!

[10/10 · 25 June 2010]

As most of us know, Futurama is a really, really funny show, and every character has something special about them. There is nothing wrong with this show at all! I don't see any flaws, and I don't care if there are any. This is a show with a truly touching and hilarious story line.

The show is about Phillip J. Fry, a 25 year old pizza man who gets frozen in a test tube in a New York City lab on December 31, 1999. Poor Fry accidentally falls into the tube and can't get out. He is finally unthawed on December 31, 2999, exactly 1000 years later. He gets out of the tube and is mortified with what he sees, and at the same time, ecstatic. He hated his job as a pizza boy, which is what he did that for a living. When he came out of the tube, he meets Turanga Leela, another major character. Leela is quite obnoxious and has a quick temper, but some good comes out of her. Then Fry meets Bender, the slam-bang funniest character on the show! His trademark quote used in almost all episodes is 'Bite my shiny metal ass.', and no one says anything. Fry then becomes enrolled in Planet Express, a delivery crew in the year 3000 with Leela and Bender. The head of the Planet Express is Hubert J. Farnsworth, a 160 year old man. Well, it is a cartoon. At times, he's unbearable. Hubert is Fry's great x30 (the word great is used 30 times) nephew, making Fry actually older than his 160 year old nephew. The other three people who work at the Planet Express are Hermes Conrad, Amy Wong, a woman actually from the planet Mars, and then John Zoidberg, a hilarious human sized lobster. He has two giant claws that are sharp and used a lot to open food. Fry, Leela, and Bender are the crew who go on hilarious missions in outer space with the company spaceship. This show is anything but bad!

Futurama has a truly touching and hilarious storyline. I cried tears of joy in one episode, I remember. If you don't like the show, that's sort of okay with me, but here's what bender will have to say: "People who hate this show can bite my shiny metal ass." And the show kicks ass! Be sure to look for it on DVD and Blu-ray today.

Up (2009)

Up is a truly magical, touching, and hilarious film. Pixar does it again!

[10/10 · 22 June 2010]

Up is one of those movies that's difficult to dislike. It's hilarious, beautiful, and it will make many cry with its touching story line! Pixar has an excellent talent. I absolutely loved it, and I don't know anyone who doesn't.

The movie is about Carl Fredricksen, a man in his 80s. He's a bit of a grouch, but still a good guy. At the beginning of the film, he's shown as a boy, about 8 or 9 years old. He stumbles into a house and meets the girl of his dreams. Her name is Ellie. She talks a lot and was a bit annoying, but she's still a good girlfriend. Then the film skips to a 6 minute montage, depicting their whole marriage. No words, just background music. This scene is very touching and emotional. It shows them getting married, and a lot of people at the wedding. They have an almost perfect marriage together. Then eventually Ellie starts to die in a hospital. The scene is very emotional and sad. Her husband is right by her side. Then eventually, she passes away. At the funeral, he seems to be the only one there. It was the end of the funeral only.

After Ellie's death, Carl starts to sink in a bit of a depression. A boyscout named Russell shows up at his house and asks him if he needs any assistance to earn his 'helping the elderly' badge. Carl refuses, and Russell sits on his porch, hoping Carl will change his mind. Then eventually two men show up, trying to put him in a retirement home. Carl asks for a minute, goes back inside his house, then releases thousands of helium filled balloons and they actually make his house float! Russell is still outside, and begs for Carl to let him in. He does, but is reluctant. Eventually the house flies to South America, a place Ellie always dreamt of travelling to. In South America, Carl sees the falls Ellie spoke about. He was so happy to finally be there, and he attempted to walk over to the falls. Carl and Russell walk into a jungle and a dog comes up to them and starts licking Russell. Carl doesn't like the dog, and tries to make him leave. Eventually, he agrees to let the dog stay. Eventually while in the jungle, Carl, Russell, and the dog meet a man who was Carl's childhood idol, Charles F Muntz, who turns out to be the antagonist! Charles was looking for a bird that Russell befriended and named Kevin. And Charles would not stop until he found the bird. When Carl and Russell refuse him the bird, he tries to get both of them killed! He has a legion of talking dogs, and the dog that found Russell turns out to be one of Muntz's dogs, and tries to defend Carl and Russell. The dogs aren't successful, and Charles's plan eventually backfires. He falls to his death at more than 1000 feet. Eventually Carl and Russell both travel back home and both rebuild their lives.

I'd definitely recommend Up to anyone looking for a good laugh, and it's touching (I cried). I mean, who wouldn't want to see a man with a flying house? But seriously, Up is one of Pixar's greatest movies, along with Ratatoulle, The Incredibles, an incredible film, and don't forget Toy Story. Up definitely soars. DON'T miss it!

Family Biz (2009– )

Horrible, HORRIBLE sitcom!

[1/10 · 8 April 2010]

Here's a review about Family Biz, the terrible new sitcom on YTV. It's an aBIZmal new show. It is HORRIBLE in my mind! I'll tell you why.

The actors are all given damn gutter dialogue! They all try hard with the scripts they've been given, but they can't pull it off, man! First there's the dad, Dave Keller, the real family knucklehead. He's so stupid in his role, because you can't ever tell if the fool is serious or just making a bad joke. Then the son, Eli, who always tries to look cool but just ends up looking like an idiot, again like he always does. Then the horrible older daughter, Avalon, who begs to be popular, but sadly, she isn't. Then the younger daughter, Ronnie, who almost always outwits her dumb siblings. Then the mom, Anna, who's the BEST actor in the show. She can't really act either, but she does a better job than the rest of the cast!

I watched about 2 or 3 episodes, and that's all I'm ever going to watch of this rubbish. I'd rather go to jail than watch another episode of Family Biz, even one. This is an abysmal show. Please, never watch this!

Family Guy (1999– )

Humorless people beware: Family Guy is a REAL show!

[10/10 · 17 March 2010]

Family Guy is one of the most offensive, craziest and rudest shows I've ever seen in my life. But it's also the funniest. Seth MacFarlane makes some good shows, and Family Guy is definitely the best!

Peter Griffin is the funniest, stupidest and fattest animated man on TV. Lois Griffin, the funniest, craziest, and greatest animated woman on TV. You also have Chris, the fat, dumber than dumb son of Peter and Lois, your homicidal baby, Stewie, your genius talking dog, Brian, and the poor daughter who always get treated like crap in every episode no matter what she does, Meg. Peter is the main character of the show who can never seem to stop farting. He is very, VERY stupid, and he treats his daughter, Meg, like garbage, the running gag. Lois is the smarter one in the family, next to Brian, who is the true smarty in the family. Chris is the son who is fat like his dad, and a bit stupider. Stewie is the foul-mouthed and homicidal baby who was always trying to kill Lois, who is oblivious to Stewie's plans of her death. Stewie always tries to waste her, but she dodges every attack without even noticing. Then there's Meg, who never gets any damn respect from her family. And Brian, slam-bang sarcastic, intelligent, and always makes a profound statement. Man, he's good! The whole show is funny as hell, and really offensive. If you're not offended, or if you don't laugh at least once at an episode, get a sense of humor. And then there's Peter's friends. Glen Quagmire, an extreme pervert. Joe Swanson, who's unfortunately handicapped, and he's a policeman. And Cleveland Brown. He's the only friend who doesn't have anything wrong with him. Peter's fat as a house, Glen's almost too perverted to function, and Joe has extreme anger problems. Cleveland's the normal one.

Humorless people beware. The amusement never stops with Family Guy, but like most shows, some episodes are funnier than others. I loved the episode Petarded and almost every other episode, but I hated Road to the North Pole. This is a show where the jokes never go flat, and the characters are always hilarious, even Meg! Thank you, Seth MacFarlane.

Son of the Mask (2005)

This sequel to The Mask is not good... at all

[2/10 · 6 March 2010]

This film was garbage. It's the sequel to the film The Mask, which is obviously way better than this one. This sequel had terrible jokes, poor acting and too many plot holes!

Tim Avery, an aspiring cartoonist has his life flipped when his dog, Otis, brings home the magic mask of Loki. Loki's infuriated father, Odin, orders Loki to take back what's his, one way or another. The film stars Jamie Kennedy. He did a very poor job playing the role of Tim Avery. In the first film, The Mask, the protagonist was Stanley Ipkiss, played by the hilarious Jim Carrey and with this one, Tim Avery was the protagonist. I don't get that. Why not use Jim Carrey again? He's far better than Jamie. The director, Lawrence Guterman ruined a great movie with this crap follow up! Then there's Tim's wife Tonya, who also did a bad job acting, but hey, she did a better job than Jamie.

This movie is terrible, and no one should have to see it. Well, at least it wasn't as bad as King's Ransom. I watched this movie once or twice, and I will not be watching it again! The best way to enjoy this movie is not to see it in the first place.

The Wonderful World of Disney: Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House (2002) Season Unknown, Episode Unknown

This movie is beyond awful.

[1/10 · 12 November 2009]

This movie is beyond awful. I didn't even know you could of produced a sequel so bad, except The Godfather II. Now that movie was wonderful, but that's another review. No synopsis for this film because I've seen it a couple of years ago, but I still remember how terrible it was. I'm never watching it again, ever!

Home Alone 4 uses totally different characters! Obviously a different Kevin because the original actor, Macaulay Culkin was too old to play Kevin in 2001. The first two Home Alone's were good, the second one was fair, the first was of course the best, I haven't seen the third Home Alone, but Home Alone 4 was absolutely horrible! Ugh, it wasn't even a movie. Like a freaking commercial. I'm glad it released only to TV, because if it was the theatre, you, definitely be wasting your money. I mean, you make another Home Alone movie, and you don't even use the same actors, man. The cast is totally different, and the 'actors' CAN'T act at all in this film. Everything in this damn movie is messed up royally. The script, the cast, and, well, everything about it! You can't connect with any of the characters. It's the kind of movie you'd sit, watch for five or ten minutes, and then change the channel or be saying "Where the hell is the remote?".

I can't believe this movie was actually aired! This movie is total crap. Not enough words to describe. Horrible, garbage, trash, terrible, crap, smack, bogus. There are 7 words right there, but a lot more words would be used to describe the trashy film. I'm warning you, don't waste your time! Those 90 minutes could be spent better.

Tommy Boy (1995)

Very good movie!

[8/10 · 8 November 2009]

This movie is hilarious and clever. The jokes were awesome, the cast is great, especially Tommy (Chris), and the movie in general is great!

Tommy Callahan III (aka Tommy Boy) is a man who doesn't do so well in college but finally graduates with a mediocre D+. He was at the college for seven years. He has a friend named Richard (David Spade), who is extremely sarcastic, and a real smart-ass who sometimes goes a little far. Well not necessarily a friend. Sort of rude to Tommy. Tommy is the son of a very wealthy business man, Tommy Callahan II. After Tommy Boy graduates, he has a party with his pals, and gets wasted. After that, he travels back home to Ohio. Then his father gives him a job at his company, Callahan Autos, which specializes in brake-pads. The dad then meets this very pretty woman named Beverly, which he thinks about marrying. Tom and his son meet Beverly's 'son', Paul. Paul is a very nasty, rude, and cynical bastard. He despises Tommy Boy because he's fat and immature. Beverly and Paul aren't exactly good people. They're both con artists! They plan to suck the company dry eventually, especially Paul. Eventually Big Tom falls in love with Beverly and they marry, but things go horribly wrong at the wedding. Tom has a horrible heart attack out of nowhere and dies! After the funeral there is a meeting about the future of the company. At this meeting Tommy agrees to keep the company rolling by selling the most brake-pads possible. And he calls his friend Richard to the stand, who is reluctant to help. "I don't think anyone could help Baby Huey out there on the road." he says at the meeting. He does NOT want to help at all. Eventually they're stuck on the road together, and have to help each other. They don't sell so well due to Tommy always irritating the buyers. Tommy and Richard don't necessarily get along out on the road.

The movie is funny all the time and hardly takes a break. The acting is wonderful. So if you're looking to watch a GOOD movie, buy Tommy Boy on DVD, and sit down with a friend. You'll be laughing so hard, you might pee your pants! This film is not perfect, but it's still pretty great.

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966 TV Movie)

Absolutely hilarious!

[10/10 · 28 October 2009]

I just want to start off saying this episode was hilarious! The episode was made in 1966, and it's a Halloween classic.

The lovable characters are all here. Charlie, Snoopy, Linus, Lucy, and Sally. The episode starts off with Linus saying desperately that the 'Great Pumpkin' will come and give presents to all the good little boys and girls. Of course there is no 'Great Pumpkin', but Linus doesn't know that. Sally even agrees to sit with him and wait for the Great Pumpkin in a pumpkin patch. They wait there for hours waiting for something that won't happen. It's hilarious! Meanwhile, the rest of the gang go trick or treating. Lucy goes as a witch, that dirt-bag kid goes as a ghost, and Charlie also goes as a ghost, but he cut in too many eye-holes for his costume. The gang got a lot of candy that night, except Charlie, who got a bag full of rocks as a joke. While Sally and Linus sit at the pumpkin patch waiting for you-know-who, Sally begins to get frustrated because the Great Pumpkin doesn't show up.

You have to see this episode. Very funny. Charlie Brown at his best. Sally and Linus wasted a Halloween waiting and waiting for nothing. Linus, you blockhead! Too funny. A 10/10 for this episode!

iCarly (2007–2012)

iCarly is one hilarious show!

[8/10 · 20 October 2009]

I started off not really liking iCarly. I thought it was going to be another corny kids' show. But man, was I wrong. This show is great! One night I was looking for something to watch, found nothing I liked, so I watched iCarly, and now I'm hooked! It's actually a pretty good show.

This show takes place in Seattle. Carly Shay is your typical teenage girl, sassy, smart, funny and beautiful. Carly is a kind-hearted girl who sees the good in people. She is the protagonist in iCarly, and does a great job! Sam Puckett is Carly's best friend, and she is totally the opposite of Carly. Unlike Carly, she's a total bully, she does bad in school. She is an extremely funny character, and likes to make sarcastic remarks whenever she can. And then there's Freddie Benson, Carly and Sam's friend... well, Carly's anyway. Freddie is the technical producer of iCarly and takes great pride in his job. He is completely obsessed with electronics, which irritates Sam. Sam and Freddie have a terrible friendship. She likes to bully and harass him a lot, and always has something nasty to say. She causes him physical and emotional pain, in which Freddie and Carly are getting extremely sick of. But deep down, she does care about him and would probably kill someone who tried ho hurt him. Oh, and who could forget Spencer? He's Carly's older brother who's also her legal guardian. Her dad's in the navy, and her mom is never heard of. I find that weird. Spencer's tall (6' 2") and he secretly loves Canada. One time Spencer fell asleep on a bus, and woke up in Vancouver! The man's hilarious, but extremely immature. In one episode, Spencer and Carly's grandfather claimed Spencer wasn't good enough to take care of Carly. But Spencer proves him wrong. Generous Granddad decides to let Carly stay with Spencer. Other characters are Francine Briggs, a mean teacher at Ridgeway, which is Carly, Sam, and Freddie's school. She's very vicious to every kid no matter what they do or say. Another is an extremely smart kid named Nevel Papperman who despises Carly and her friends and tries to mess with iCarly whenever he can for no reason. Then there's Gibby, a kid in Carly's class who's an idiot, and often takes his shirt off for no reason. He's one of the show's best.

This show is pretty cool. Some people won't appreciate its humour and I can see why, but I do. I liked the jokes. Give iCarly a try sometime. Even if you don't like these shows, you'll likely change your mind when you see iCarly. Clever show!

Pulp Fiction (1994)

This Quentin Tarantino Masterpiece is One of the BEST Movies Ever Made

[10/10 · 15 October 2009]

This movie without a doubt is on of the greatest movies I ever seen. The characters are amazing, the dialogue is twisted and hilarious, and the experience is just unreal!

The movie's main characters are a foolish hit-man named Vincent Vega (played by John Travolta), his intelligent pal Jules Winnfield (played by Samuel Jackson)who's also a hit-man, but smarter and crazier, a vicious boxer (Bruce Willis), the mob boss Marcellus (Ving Rhames), his sexy wife Mia (Uma Thurman) and two diner robbers (Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer). Vincent and Jules are two friends who kill some people, and talk about things together. Vincent is asked by Marsellus to take Mia out to dinner and Vincent insists it's not a date. You bet your ass it's a date! Mia and Vincent made a real connection, then after dinner they both go to her house. Vincent goes to the bathroom, and Mia listens to music on the stereo and finds Vincent's drugs. Mia's a cocaine addict and snorts coke when she thinks no one is looking. Vincent's bag of drugs actually isn't coke, it's heroin! She takes a little of this up the nose, overdoses, and nearly died as a result. Thank God Vincent came to save her. There's more to this film, WAY more, but I'm not spoiling the rest for you. You go see the movie.

The movie is excellent, but definitely not for everyone. The f-word is used 265 times! I didn't count, I read it on the Internet somewhere. There are endless references to hard drugs, and sex is spoken about between Jules and Vincent. The film is too good to describe. Watch it today, but don't bring your kids.

King's Ransom (2005)

This movie should have been straight to DVD. It was SO damn bad!

[1/10 · 15 October 2009]

This movie was probably the crappiest movie I've ever seen. I watched it in Winnipeg, at my friend's house. I found it on my friends' coffee table, and had to see how bad it was. Critics all over were panning the film, and I had to see for myself. It was even worse than I thought it would be, with a god damn ridiculous and stupid plot, unimaginative jokes, and nasty characters.

Here's the plot.: King's Ransom is about an arrogant rich king named Malcolm King. His wife is angry with him, and wants him to pay her alimony or somethin. I don't know what it's for, but I think alimony. When she wants him to pay, he plans his own kidnapping so he doesn't have to pay her. At the same time, other people are planing to kidnap him, too! When one of the kidnappers DOES kidnap Malcolm, he thinks the kidnapper is following his ridiculous plan, but he's not! I'm not saying anymore for the plot.

The deleted scenes were better than the movie, which was crap. Take my word for it. I'd rather get punched repeatedly in the face than watch this again. Ugh! A ONE out of ten for King's Ransom. I would have gone with zero, but you can only go a minimum of one. Please never watch this!
