I am not a huge fan of reading, yet I love to collect books. However, if there is one book I have read more than once it would be Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. I am not sure I could put a number on it, but I’ve read it probably a dozen times since I was … More Fahrenheit 451 (1966)
I was only 10 years old when The Distinguished Gentleman got released. It was not until I was in my 20’s did I finally catch this epic political comedy. Quite honestly, had I caught this Eddie Murphy film at a younger age, I may not have appreciated all the political stuff. With a deeper understanding … More The Distinguished Gentleman (1992)
Boomerang came out in 1992, and Boyz II Men had a hit single, End of the Road, featured in this film. That song has one of my favourites since I was old enough to watch music videos. Boomerang is a very adult-themed movie that I could not understand as a young teenager. Fast forward to … More Boomerang (1992)
Harlem Nights was a dream come true for Eddie Murphy. Famous for his stand comedy impersonations of Richard Pryor, Murphy grew up idolizing the comedian. In 1989, he finally had the opportunity to work with the legend. The results were pretty good if I say so myself. I used to own this movie on DVD … More Harlem Nights (1989)
For years I have meant to review the comedy classic Trading Places around Christmas time but never got around to it. There is much debate on whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie; however, I have never heard any discussions about Trading Places, which I would consider more of a holiday movie than most. Eddie … More Trading Places (1983)
It really hurt my feelings when I went to the IMDb page for Caddyshack II. The current rating is 3.8/10, and it gets worse on RottenTomatoes, where the numbers are 4% critics score and 18% audience score. I love this movie. If I had to come up with a reason why my only excuse may … More Caddyshack II (1988)
There have been a handful of iconic golf movies out there; however, when it comes to comedies, the gold standard has been Caddyshack for the last four years. what may surprise some of you, but not all of you, is that I love the sequel. (More on that in a later post) however, the reason … More Caddyshack (1980)
Once upon a time, I had watched Escape from New York. I want to say it was late in my teenage years or as a young adult, so nothing about the movie appealed to me. I didn’t fully understand or appreciate all the themes that John Carpenter wrote into this brilliant film. Last night while … More Escape from New York (1981)
There have been a handful of military comedies to grace the big screen over the years, and one of the most talked-about is Stripes. Headlined by Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, John Candy, and Judge Reinhold, this comedy will show you everything wrong with the military and a thousand incidents that would never be possible. The … More Stripes (1981)
As we take a stroll, those movies I watched as a kid, What About Bob? was one of the most-watched VHS tapes in my library. I’ve loved this movie since it’s release. Not only did it reference my home state, New Hampshire, but it is also non-stop laughter. Bill Murray is at his best here, … More What About Bob? (1991)
