Blues Brothers 2000 (1998)
a little weak, but great music
as i watched this i assumed that when Dan Aykroyd and John Landis wrote this they didn't worry much about the plot and focused more on the music, because its great! James Brown, Aretha Franklyn and of course the Blues brothers themselves were good, even though there was no John nor Jim Belushi. tons of other performers pop up as well, such as BB King, Erykah Badu, Paul Shaffer, Eric Floyd, Wilson Picket, Blues Traveler, Sam Moore and many others, but don't really add much to the story, which has Elwood (Akroyd) released from prison bringing the band back together one last time, along with new members, to enter a Battle of the bands contest, once again chased by the cops as well as a Russian mafia. It was kinda cool to see some of the old band members have new jobs, Willie has a strip club, Steve and Donald are radio DJS, and so forth, but that doesn't forgive the weak plot, which just rehashed the first movie, and the car chases, while good at first went on a little too long. the acting was OK, Akroyd as Elwood got annoying, John Goodman as Mighty Mac was good, but no John Belushi. Joe Morton was OK as Cab, the cop who turns out to be Curtis's son, and J Evan Bonifant was OK as Buster, an orphan who follows Elwood around.
Overall good music, weak plot
Caddyshack II (1988)
biggest waste of my time since disaster movie
the other day a friend asked me about "Caddyshack II" he asked if it had Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray, i said nope, he said why make it without them? thats the question everyone has about this movie, WHY? why no Rodney? why no Bill? why no Harold Ramis? thats right Harold Ramis didn't direct this one, left it to Alan Arkush, the man who used to make trailers for Roger Corman movies as well as "Rock & Roll High School". in this film Jack Hartounian (Jackie Mason) and his daughter join Bushwood CC, and the club Owner Chandler Young (Robert Stack) hates him, so Jack buys Bushwood from Ty Webb (Chevy Chase, the ONLY actor from the 1st film). instead of Bill's Carl Spackler, we get Dan Aykroyds annoying Tom Everett, who shoots himself in the @$$ with a poison tip crossbow. The Gopher is, for some reason, able to talk (voiced by Frank Welker) and Chevy is reduced down to a cameo. this movie needed Harold Ramis directing, Rodneys one-liners, Bill Murray hunting gophers and most of all it needed to be funny.
Johnny Test (2005)
Not that Original at all
I saw a few episodes of this poorly animated series and i cant take it! its about some dumb-ass kid whose sisters use him for dangerous experiments, his best friend is a talking dog, WTF. as the title says it rips off a lot of things, the title is a ripoff of Johnny Quest, an episode was a total ripoff of Mel Brooks' Spaceballs, from Dark Helmet to Megamaid, another episode had a ripoff of Pokemon, another had a ripoff of the Batman enemy Mr. Freeze and so on. I believe these writers had nothing original in mind and just stole from everybody else, even if they did it wouldn't be great because the animation is horrible, it looks like they rushed it. skip this show at all costs!
Phineas and Ferb (2007)
Its OK
OK i admit i wasn't too fair to this show, i said the episodes are predictable and the characters are bland. but this show is not as bad as i said earlier. My main complaint is the character of Phineas, he is like the Keanu Reaves of this show, he has the same bland voice the entire episode, and the same bland face. Candace gets very annoying, very fast, and, in my opinion, Dr. Doofinshmirtz is one of the lamest villains ever, and not the so lame its funny kinda lame, but the so lame its LAME. Perry needs a better challenge, half the time the Dr. foils his own schemes. The show has funny moments, and my favorite character is Buford, but if hes the "bully" why does he hang out with a nerd like Baljeet? I still think the parents are retards, but for the most part, the shows alright.
Ghostbusters (2009)
"We've Gote One...!"
Its been 20 years since a ghostbusters movie, and this is the closest thing well get to a 3rd film. You get to play as the new rookie for the ghostbusters, testing out all their dangerous new equipment that, if not handled correctly, will blow you into new Jersey, while The other Ghostbusters solve their latest Paranormal problem involving Ilyssa Sewyen, voiced by Alyssa Milano. Its Extrordinary great that they got Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Annie Pots, and William Atheron to reprise their roles from the films, sadly, no Rick Moranis :(. Some of the Ghosts from the previous films return as well, Slimer, Stay Puft, The librarian ghost (now named Elanor Twitty) and Vigo (voiced by Max von Sydow) b. In Conclusion, Great story, great voices, but kind of short (i beat the game in 2 days)and When is Ghostbusters 3 coming out?
The Animated Adventures of Bob & Doug McKenzie (2003)
What comes up... what comes down
These characters were originally created on the Canadian TV show SCTV, by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas, who played them. in 1983 they brought the characters to the big screen in STRANGE BREW, and on the DVD a special feature was "the animated adventures of bob & Doug McKenzie". i checked it out and it suffered the same fate as "spaceballs the animated series" (i know i already talked about it) boring and unoriginal. it had Rick & Dave as Bob & Doug, now as sanitation engineers. their cousin Rupert is a cop, their "boss" is Dwight, they go to a "skate and Bowl", a bowl o Rama and a hockey rink all in one. their best friend is Dennis, a get rich quick artist. the whole thing is more like a cheap kids cartoon (like the mighty b) no wonder rick Moranis retired!
Meet the Spartans (2008)
they don't care anymore
once apon a time warp in the 80s, the best spoofs were made, naked gun, spaceballs, airplane, i miss the good ol'days. now spoofs are about random references and stealing jokes (chastity belt = robin hood men in tights). this film don't have a plot! its just Dip$#!ts running around saying "its --- from ---"! not to mention too much advertising. Carmen Electra (whos always sexy) wasn't sexy in this one! Ken Davitian, why? your the guy from Borat have some dignity! good thing Tony Cox (the black midget) wasn't in this one(i thought he would play a midget Venom). if Mel Brooks made this film it would be 10 times better. the Zucker brothers can make this funnier
The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006)
what happened!?
when people ask you about Christmas films, what do bring up? The Grinch, the Rankin-Bass stuff, a Christmas carol, Santa clause 3? this is obviously the most boring film i ever saw (folowing Bee movie and Pinocchio 3000). the series is about adding laws to Santa Claus (exciting enough!) this one adds in Jack frost (played by Martin short) trying to take Santa's place. he does this using the "escape Clause". how does it work? simply make Santa touch a snowglobe and say "i wish i was never Santa". what makes a film worse than a boring story? actors who don't give a $#!t. Peter Boyle (Young Frankenstein, everybody loves Raymond) died after this movie! P.S i recommend Scrooged over this! (every one would)
A Miser Brothers' Christmas (2008)
thats not true! thats impossible
the miser brothers were my absolute favorite in "a year without a Santa Claus" (sorry Santa, but they beat you)when i heard they were making this i said "really, there really doing this, this is end up like spaceballs the animated series" i was 100% right. the special is about the miser brothers having to settle their differences and save Christmas from their Dr. evil wannabe brother, North wind. its great that Mickey Rooney and George Irving are back as Santa and heat miser, but the others don't sound like their original actors (advise: if you make a sequel to a movie and a actor had died/refuses to return, find someone who sounds like them)just ignore this, no matter how much you need to watch it (designs look ugly too)
The 2000 Year Old Man (1975)
great way to show these mens talents
I am a big fan of Mel Brooks, I'm trying to collect any film with him, when i found out their 2000 year old man albums (i never listened to them) was a animated special i just had to buy this off of ebay. basically all this is Carl reiner as an interviewer interviewing the 2000 year old man voiced by Mel brooks. this has great lines such as "transportation was fear, a lion would growl and you would run 2 miles in a minute" and "42,000 children, none visit me" and "let em all go to hell, except cave 76!". i recommend to Mel brooks fans only (other comedy fans would just walk away). as of now i am searching for the book and new CD! may the Schwartz be with you!
An American Carol (2008)
a good spoof since...
when i saw the trailer i knew i had to see this, on the other hand when i saw the disaster movie trailer i thought "fail". it stars Kevin Farley, the brother of Chris Farley (the buss driver from billy Madison), Kelsey grammar (sideshow bob), Leslie Nielson (Dracula from Dracula and loving it) and trace adkins. its basically the Christmas carol + Michael Moore, i cant think of any other spoof that came out this year that was good (i didn't see superhero movie and get smart is just and adaption). i mean think about one good joke from disaster movie and meet the Spartans, cant think of any thing? good. PS. JFK sounded like mayor quimby from the Simpson's.
SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
not as good as it used to be
when i was young, i remember watching spongebob on nickelodeon (i have no idea how to spell it), i couldn't get enough of it. but know, its not as good from when i was young. Spongebob is a blabbering gay idiot, Patrick is a fat retard, squidward is a snotty British wanna-be,sandy is a female Einstein (boring), Mr. krabs is a money grabbing jack@$$, and plankton is a wanna be James bond villain. why i said spongebob is gay because he stalks squidward, only hangs out with Patrick and one episode he said "i like squidward" in a gay tone. in my opinion they don't care about the episodes and only on the merchandise, i cant walk through a store without seeing 15-20 items on a shelf. who agrees with me!
Get Smart (1995)
would you believe... its not that bad
i came across the DVD at best buy, i wanted to see what they could do with this show. its not that bad, Don Adams and Barbra Feldon are back as Max (now the chief of control) and 99 (now a congress woman). Andy dick plays Zack, max and 99's son, Elaine Hendrix plays his sidekick 66, who is SO HOT. the show is not great (you can tell by only 7 episodes)but it great to watch in a Saturday with some friends. some great things about the show is the cone of silence appearing in the first episode,agent 13 appearing in episode 3 (played by Dave ketchum), and Sigfired appearing in episode 6, played by Bernie Kopel (as well as a mention of shtarker). not the greatest show ever, but is OK.
Spaceballs: The Animated Series (2008)
mediocre
Spaceballs is the first spoof movie and Mel brooks movie i saw, and i loved every minute of it. when i heard of this show i was yelling "i need to see this! do we have G4?" etc. Im glad Mel, Joan rivers and Daphne Zuniga are back as their roles, Dee baker is OK as helmet (he actually funny in Spaceballs of the Caribbean), Tino insana sounds good as a John candy impersonator, but Rino Romano sound boring, he doesn't even try. every episode is a spoof of hit movies(Skroobinator,spidermawg, watch your @$$ic park etc), i was hoping for "search for more money" and even a spaceball prequel. P.S. Mel brooks did not write any of the episodes. one more thing, i wanted more colonel Sanders, where is he!! i missed him
iCarly (2007)
worst show ever!
this show is just plain awful. I liked to watch Drake and Josh, which was great, and before that The Amanda show, also funny, but this is just AWFUL. in my opinion watching this felt like watching those --- movies from Seltzberg, painful and uncleaver. this is about 3 dumb@$$ kids who make a crappy web-show (while stealing the hole Ithing) while their retarded brother is making sculptures (he has no life). the cast is crap, Megan from drake and josh is carly (AHHHHHH!)a ugly b!tch is sam and some kid they pulled off the street plays fred. all i saw from this (ugg) are random "jokes" that include the brother making a clay-mation film, he also played an arcade game called PAC-rat (genious), Sam and Carly being retards on their web show, and Fred being a dork. the only episode a saw (cant remember the title) where Fred gets bad luck by not forewarding an email.i find videos on youtube funnier than this junk. and why the hell do they get youtube jack@$$ fred, get AVGN to cancel the show with his potty mouth. just skip this show.
