Dumb and Dumber To (2014)

Bill Clark — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 21:03:54 +0000

It’s been twenty years since Dumb and Dumber landed in theaters and went on to become a comedy classic. That a sequel wasn’t made in the 1990’s defies logic by today’s standards, when turning even a small profit sends studio execs into daydreams of a franchise. Dumb and Dumber To… Continue reading

20 Years Ago Throughout your life, you’re going to have memorable movie-going experiences. Be it something that happens at the theater itself or in the movie (or both), certain nights out just make an indelible impression on you. As a frequent movie-goer basically since I was old enough to walk, I’ve… Continue reading

20 Years Later: Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)

20 Years Ago Having missed Ace Ventura: Pet Detective during its theatrical run in February/March of 1994 (some of my friends still haven’t forgiven me), I finally saw it in June on our annual family vacation to Siesta Key, Florida. I remember my brother and I perusing the shelves at… Continue reading

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013)

Bill Clark — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 04:00:49 +0000

Finally, an absurdist comedy that wears the label proudly. The Incredible Burt Wonderstone comes from the Will Ferrell school of film comedies, meaning that we have bizarre people doing bizarre things, but it somehow gels. The film isn’t quite the classic it could have been with such a stacked cast… Continue reading

Yes Man (2008)

Bill Clark — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 05:00:51 +0000

Yes Man certainly marks a return to comedy form for Jim Carrey. It’s essentially a carbon copy of Liar Liar (replace those lies with the word “yes”), but it’s refreshing to see him back in something funny and harmless after clunkers like Fun with Dick and Jane and The Number… Continue reading

The Number 23 (2007)

Bill Clark — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 05:00:38 +0000

Ah, another blown opportunity for a Michael Jordan documentary. After all, isn’t that what most people think of when they hear the number twenty-three? Do they really think about how that single number could be the key to unlocking every evil deed done in this world? If the number is… Continue reading

Bruce Almighty (2003)

Bill Clark — Sat, 31 May 2003 00:00:42 +0000

Bruce Almighty is the kind of movie that Jim Carrey should stick to. After a few atrocious bombs (The Majestic, Man on the Moon), Carrey has returned to his roots, which are rubber-faced expressions and weird voices. In the film, Carrey plays Bruce Nolan, a newscaster who is hoping to… Continue reading
