The Cable Guy (film review)

When I saw this film for the first time in the theater in 1996 it was shortly after Ace Ventura had come out and a bit after Carey had left "In Living Color" what I was expecting was a screwball comedy, what I got was a dark cinematic masterpiece that I didn't appreciate until two years later when a friend insisted I watch it again. Jim Carey in this film demonstrates that he is a genius. One of the most talented, best acted, comedic performances of all time, no joke. This film is brilliantly written, not a bad note, skillfully directed and coupled with outstanding acting from Jim Carey this becomes one of those rare cinematic gems that like a fine French wine or Farrah Fawcet gets better with age, as time goes by this film gets better and better with each passing year and can only truly be appreciated with repeated viewings.

Flirting With Disaster (film review)

This film is well worth seeing. The characters and story are very entertaining and funny. This is what Ben Stiller should be doing now, films like this one. Unfortunately, Ben has fallen into the same rut that haunts Eddie Murphy and others who have lost the sense of humor they once possessed after having children. Comedians should be sterilized for the good of their work. Ben stiller made the film Envy right around the birth of his first child and hasn't been funny since.

The plot revolves around Mo Copeland, a thirty year old man who has just given birth to his first child and is having problems naming the child due to his lack of identity from being adopted. He sets out on a misguided journey to find his birth parents and hilarity ensues. Very funny movie.

Go into this film expecting and knowing nothing and you will be entertained and laugh out loud. I guarantee it.
