Doug Benson's "I Love the Movies" at BobandDavid.com is back!
Some of his insightful comments on this summer's gutbuster hits:
MADAGASCAR – If I wanted to spend two hours with talking animals, I’d visit my family.
STAR WARS: REVENGE OF THE SITH - I wasn’t bored for a minute. I was bored for 142 minutes!
MONSTER-IN-LAW – Makes me wish I could murder a movie.
THE INTERPRETER – Sean Penn and Nicole Kidman, together for the first waste of time!
THE HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY – I can’t wait to check it out three months from now on a plane!
And check out his generous archives. Some of my favorites:
THE PACIFIER – High-octane fun! If you sniff a gas rag first. (Gas rag not included.)
CONSTANTINE – It’s like THE MATRIX: PART FOUR. No, and thank you!
SIDEWAYS – Paul Giamatti puts the "whine" and the "cunt" in wine country.
NATIONAL TREASURE - If you like comedy, romance and kick-ass action…you should see something else.
SHE HATE ME – She not alone.
DE-LOVELY – De-lousy.
I, ROBOT – I, don’t think so.
SHREK 2 – The ads say, “If you haven’t seen it twice, you haven’t seen it at all!” Since I will never see it at all, it’s like I’ve seen it once!
RAISING HELEN - Perfect for an air-conditioned nap!
ALONG CAME POLLY – I laughed a lot more the first time, when it was called SOPHIE’S CHOICE.
GOTHIKA - The plot twists fly at you faster than you can say, "Where is the exit? Under that green sign that says ‘EXIT’? Great!"
TIMELINE – When you come out of this movie, you’ll feel like you’ve traveled two hours into the future!
