ILLY!!!
The "Ma and Pa Kettle" movies! CLASSICS!!! Just plain fun, and funny!

Another GREAT film is, "BLAZING SADDLES!"
Also, "Space Balls".
And one that i doubt ANY of you have seen,
"Hey Vern! It's my family album!" Probably "Ernest P. Worrel's" very first film. He plays all the parts of his "family" in it, and some of them are fall down funny. Jim Varney (Ernest) plays the parts in the one skit, where he's a soldier in a fort trying to fight off a whole mess of "injuns", and when he gets to the fort, he finds it deserted. So he has to play like the fort is FILLED with soldiers, which he plays ALL of parts. His voices and facial looks are great!
I had watched it back in the 1980's, when i rented it from Blockbuster. Hadn't seen it in years, then found it on DVD in the "Essential Ernest" collection at Shopko. Has 6 of his films on it. Was only $5.

Formo mentioned 300 and How to Train Your Dragon. Enjoyed both of those immensely. I thought 300 was better than Sin City by a lot. As for Dragon, that was a pleasant surprise. I was planning on not seeing it but a friend of mine convinced me it was a really good movie. I was pleasantly surprised.

By the way, this is a very good thread. :thumbright:

Thank you.

One thing that my brother and I have talked about is all the movies that came out that were supposed to be amazing, or that just got a TON of advertising, that end up simply disappearing. 300 is one of these. Or Pearl Harbor. Siny City. The Box. I just think that it is interesting how movies just keep piling up. It's not like one movie comes out, and another one is replaced. The movies that are out just keep piling and piling, new ones come out, and old ones are forgotten. This one is huge now, wait for 2 weeks, and it will be replaced by another movie to take up all the commercial time. I just laugh that so much time and money are put into a movie, just to see how it fairs for 4-6 weeks in the box office, and hopefuloly, for them, on DVD/Blur-Ray.

Peter, that has happened to me many times. They make a movie look like it's gonna be great, and when you see it, the best parts ended up being the minute that was in the commercial.
"Larry the Cable guy, health inspector" was a very funny movie. I went and saw it alone, then took the wife when she got off of work. She RARELY likes the "dumb" humor i like, but she laughed out loud in the theater all through the film.

I got around to watching The Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 in the last week. Not quite sure what to say about them. The Evil Dead certainly had a B Movie feel to it, moreso than Evil Dead 2. I expected that it would have more of a comical undertone than it did, but it was pretty much straight horror. Evil Dead 2, which I liked a lot more, had much more comedy to it. I didn't like how Ash brought this girl back to the house, saw the book (which apparently was NOT destroyed in the fireplace at the end of the first movie) and the recorder, and there was no recognition of either. He decided to play the tape again, and again, darkness and evil ensues. Also, everything was new again in the house, and not destroyed like it was at the end of the first movie. Also, in the first movie, Ash really doesn't do a lot to be so "badass" like everybody seems to think he is. He is actually kind of a puss in the first one. In Evil Dead 2 he is a lot tougher, and I am looking forward to Army of Darkness to see his persona. I think that if I watched the two of them a few more times, I will begin to understand why people like them so much, but for now, I give the first movie 5/10 and the second 7/10.

Peteralan - I may be a minority among horror people, but I thought Army of Darkness was by far the best. While not scary at all, it's a great B movie. Let me know what you think.

After watching the first two movies as well as the preview for Army of Darkness, it looks like that is certainly the direction that the series heads -- starts out as a straight low-budget horror film, and works it's way toward the horror/comedy B movie genre. I won't be able to watch Army of Darkness until late next week (finals week coming up), but I will add to my synopsis. Did you feel my initial review of the first two movies was relatively accurate? Or at least accurate relative to what your review would have been after watching it for the first time?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.
beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.
Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal
