Question: i remember really enjoying this movie when i saw it years ago .
i guess my memory really sucks .
there is very , very little that is funny in caddyshack .
the laughs are few , and far between , and what there are really are n't that great .
caddyshack , as the name implies , more or less centers on one young caddy working at an exclusive country club .
michael o'keefe plays said caddy .
why they cast this unknown , fairly untalented actor in the lead role is completely beyond me .
the movie does n't seem to have a real plot , just a series of scenes that are little more than opportunities for the rest of the cast to mug at the camera .
the only real story , if you can call it that , was a subplot involving the mentally disturbed greens keeper , bill murray , who is having his own private little war against a gopher who is ruining the course .
most of the marginal laughs come from rodney dangerfield and ted
knight mugging and overacting for the camera
-- with painfully limited success .
bill murray is slightly amusing in places , but fairly wasted .
the biggest waste of all is chevy chase , who did n't even crack a smile on my face with his character 's lame zen - like approach to golfing .
there are a few decent scenes involving the interaction between dangerfield and knight , but they are far too infrequent to carry the movie .
i guess that 's what you get for basing a story around an unknown kid .
i 'm not sure what the writers of this thing were thinking of , but i really think it was something far removed from comedy as they were putting pen to paper .
nothing about this movie works .
it would n't have taken a genius to figure out that this thing was n't going to fly .
most of the scenes just could n't possibly be funny .
it 's as if the writers where off in their own little brain damaged world .
i 'm sure scenes involving chevy chase and his oneness with the golf ball were supposed to be funny .
in reality , they were painfully embarrassing to watch .
there is a scene at the club pool where all the caddies go wild for the " hot babe " of the movie walking by in her bikini .
olive oil would have filled out this swimsuit better than this girl .
everything about this movie was just completely implausible as far as the comedy was concerned .
maybe if you were drunk out of you mind or high off some sort of illegal narcotic
this thing might be funny .
but for
the rest of us , stay the hell away from caddyshack .

Question: when i first heard about scream in 1996 , i was told that it was a spoof of horror movies .
from the master of the horror himself , wes craven , it ridiculed the cliches of the genre by overemphasizing them , by making the teenagers do what they know they 're not supposed to do when a serial killer is stalking them ( do n't run up the stairs when you can easily go out the front door , never say " i 'll be right back , " etc . ) .
when i first heard this description , i figured that it was an easy way out of making a bad movie .
how hard is it to make an extremely terrible film but claim it is actually a mockery of other bad movies .
was this wes craven 's remedy from making " real " bad movies such as vampires in brooklyn ?
it just seemed cheap to me .
then i actually saw the movie and the first twenty minutes , involving drew barrymore and a nail - bitingly intense phone conversation , completely changed my attitude .
scream is not only a clever parody of your standard horror flick , it 's also a pretty scary movie .
if you 've seen a million of these kinds of films , you know exactly what is going to happen .
this is part of the fun of watching scream .
the movie reminds avid horror fans how similar and repetitive the genre is and it also reminds them how great a guilty pleasure it can be to watch pointless and predictable violence to innocent , attractive teenagers . to those who rarely see these types of movies , scream is a thrilling unpredictable ride that could be mistaken as a serious slasher film .
there 's nothing wrong with that misjudgment though .
i have witnessed viewers from both sides of the audience , the newbies to horror and the fanatics .
their opinions on the film were so different but
both very positive .
from these varied reviews , i am convinced that scream has not only revived the teen horror movie and the normal teen romance movies but also the hilarious parodies of these and other categories .
films that both deride and celebrate genres like galaxy quest and the big hit would not have existed , in my opinion , if it was not for the outstanding success of scream .
the low - budget 1996 gem may , alongside pulp fiction , be the most influential film of the 1990 's .
this influence may exist to the chagrin of some moviegoers who despise movies like teaching mrs .
tingle or television programs such as dawson 's creek but to others such as myself , we congratulate the movie that has opened new doors for excellent young actors , screenwriters , and directors .
scream is also an extremely funny movie thanks to its quickly - paced script by kevin williamson .
within the film are characters who tell other characters , as well as the audience , the basic rules and cliches of a horror movie .
mainly from the rants of randy ( jamie kennedy ) and stu ( matthew lillard ) , we are reminded not only of the obvious and hilarious rules but also some of the more subtle stereotypes that when thought over are mostly true as well ( the virgin always survives ; have sex and you 're dead meat ) .
not only are we treated these rules on a plate but also the rules are referenced to a number of different films and actors .
the script feels like an obsessive essay from a college film geek who has nothing better to do but find every little blunder from every little film for his own self - satisfaction .
in this case , williamson finds these errors for the audience 's satisfaction and amusement .
i hear there is a new movie coming out called scary movie which is a spoof of scream , which is a spoof of scary movies .
i will certainly see the film
but i have the feeling that this parody will be more obviously ridiculing the genre rather than scream 's perfect subtlety .
however my last gut feeling about this stuff , scream , was dead wrong .
.
. so who knows .

Question: i hate to burst your bubble , but after all the star power , mega bucks , screenwriters , directors , and cool trailers , men in black is not the best movie of the summer .
it 's pretty good in it 's own right , yes , but i would probably split the " best movie " honors among face / off , spawn , con air , and maybe event horizon .
it 's main problem
is that it 's quickly forgettable , and i ca n't remember one truly good scene from it .
from con air , it was the scene out in the desert when they were digging the plane out from the dirt .
in spawn , it was the " living room hell " conclusion at the end .
in event horizon , it was the video of the event horizon crew being taken over by hell 's forces .
and all of face / off was pretty dang good .
but as for men in black , the only scene i still recall is when will smith is squishing all those giant roaches .
i remember it not for it 's humor but because i am hate roaches with a passion and was pretty disgusted .
and yes , i did see mimic , which is something i 'll touch on in a later review .
back to men in black ( is it just me , or does that sound funny ? )
i remember first hearing about men in black back when i was a comic geek in the 7th grade and read magazines like wizard , etc .
( for those of you who are n't comic - geeks , wizard is basically to comics what car and driver is to cars , what the new yorker is to high society , what boy 's life is to boy scots .
okay , that one was pretty pathetic . )
few people know this , but men in black is based on a very obscure comic book that was , while not honest - politician - rare , very hard to find .
this was after the release of the high - grossing batman forever , and it said that tommy lee jones and chris o'donnell were being considered for the roles ( in the comic book , there were no black men in black .
kind of weird , huh ? )
all i can say is
, thank god they did n't cast chris o'donnell .
i know i ca n't be the only person on the planet who thinks he 's an annoying , preppie little snot . . .
sorry .
my apologies to o'donnell fans .
i actually had a 7th grade teacher who was a big comic collector and was set to buy some of the comics from him , anticipating rather craftily that , if the movie was a big hit , it would drive up the price of the comics rather nicely .
he decided not to sell them to me , because they were " innappropriate " .
hmm . . . .
so now you 're probably wondering why i 've wasted about 5 paragraphs with lame anecdotes from my junior high years .
good question .
i 'll move on to the movie now .
as you probably already know , will smith and tommy lee jones ( agents k and j , respectively ) belong to a top secret agency known as divison 5 , or it 's nickname mib ( men in black . )
men in black is a reference to the black suits and sunglasses the agents wear , and they 're mission is to investigate reports of alien landings and keep the aliens under control while they 're here on earth .
not to get too technical or spoil the plot for the 6 people in the world who have n't seen this movie , but a basically - big - roach - type - bug lands in a redneck farmer 's yard , inhabits his body , and attempts to destroy the entire universe .
not bad , eh ?
( i have no idea why i just typed that .
i 'm not even really paying attention anymore . )
the special effects are good
yet dissapointing in men in black .
i found their main headquarters to be boring , as were the " cool weapons " they had .
the noisy cricket just plain sucked , no matter what anyone said .
and the movie definitely surprised me in tone , although it probably shoudln't have .
it 's
director , barry sonnenfield , is known for " black humor " , directing both addams family movies .
this movie was basically a " black comedy " , not an action / sci - fi like i expected from the trailers .
do n't get me wrong on what i think of this movie .
it 's not bad
, i gave it *
* * .
it was mostly entertaining throughout it 's run , and had a very good ending , although i think i was the only person in the theater not amazed by it .
my diagnosis for this picture : a good weekend rental , but not worth a movie ticket .
of course , the movie is now long gone from theaters , but that 's beside the point .
i think .
