Reviews
Monkeybone (2001)
This movie is way better than the reviews it gets!
OK, I couldn't just sit back and let these bad reviews tarnish this movie and perhaps keep someone from watching it. I can't even begin to describe Monkeybone and how it makes me feel and where it takes me when I watch it. I own it on DVD and have bought several copies for others.
I have watched this movie countless times and literally see something new each time. You are supposed to feel anxious and uneasy, that is kind of the whole point of the movie! Stu is lost in a nightmare and trapped with all of the things we imagine in a dreamworld. It really isn't that disturbing and both my son and my niece hold this movie very close to their hearts. You see, instead of Barney or the like they wanted Monkeybone over and over.
And anyone who thinks kids shouldn't watch it needs to lighten up.(Someone actually thought the opening sequence about a kid getting an erection over his teachers arm fat was too inappropriate to mention. My god, I am glad they weren't my parent is all I can say!)
I loved these kinds of movies when I was a kid and that is probably why love it so much. I think all the actors are hilarious and do a great job pulling off their roles; Chris Kattan gets me every time!
The Simpsons Movie (2007)
are you people crazy?
I came on here to check on references from the movie and was shocked to see how many bad reviews this got from supposed life long fans. I have been watching "The Simpsons" since they were a crudely drawn cartoon sketch on "The Tracy Ullman Show", and I happened to love this movie!! I think people need to realize that the show has evolved with the world around them; and just because Springfield remains unchanged, does not mean that the writers should. They have always been on point with current events as well as the social/political atmosphere in our country. I refer to "The Simpsons" as the most honest show on television, and it has been since the day it aired. This show is America.
I also often say that there are 2 kinds of people; those who love "The Simpsons" and those who hate them. And you can clearly tell the difference. My son started watching them at birth; it is one of the most educational cartoons out there, mixed with the kind of humor and satire I want my kid to be able to recognize.
Plus, aside from Al Gore and "An Inconvenient Truth" this movie did more for spreading the word on saving our environment than most things I can think of. Homer shows how most of us behave, otherwise we wouldn't see trash everywhere we go. Some idiot, probably you, threw it there.
