Review:

Directed by Tony Scott and written by Larry Fergusson and Warren Skaaren, Beverly Hills Cop II is an action, adventure and a hilarious movie where Detroit cop, Foley has made his differences clear with his superior Bogomil. However, trouble never leaves them both and the movie goes on to show how they deal with situations that come their way and solve them in their own way.  Judge Reinhold and Jurgen Prochnow have contributed equally to the film.

Critics believe that the movie was more of a fun sequel and was just enough to suffice everyone. Eddy Murphy did a beautiful job along with Judge and Jurgen, their actions said it all. This movie is recommended for all those action lovers.

Audiences believe that this sequel was better than the others and was much more fun especially with Murphy in the movie. The movie has memorable moments and is definitely a classic. Murphy is considered the best with respect to his humour in the movie and some say he never ages. So if you haven’t watched the movie, you might want to check it out and especially if you’re someone who loves humour and action. It’s a 1 hour 45 minutes film, so it won’t take much of your time. Go ahead, enjoy it!

Review:

Directed by Martin Brest and written by Danilo Bache, Beverly Hills Cops is an action, adventure, mystery, suspense and a hilarious film.  A Detroit cop, Foley is happy when his best friend, Mikey, visits him all the way from California. But soon Mikey is killed by someone named Zack. The film talks about how serious Foley gets after the murder and follows Mikey to discover the truth.

Critics believe that Murphy did an excellent job and that he is one of the few comedians of the early 80’s to assign some humour to various minor characters. Murphy is also known for his accustomed sense of claim and predominance that sets him above other Beverly Hills’ cops.

The audiences see Murphy as a streetwise cop, who makes an excellent one and has the perfect skills to investigate into any case. This film has conquered the box office and has always been everyone’s favourite especially for those who love action. The casts include Judge Reinhold, John Ashton and others who have all played their parts equally well .The movie has a lot of humour which keeps it going. It’s highly recommended movie, if you have not seen it yet.

Review:

Directed by Ivan Reitman and written by Dan Aykroyd , Ghostbusters is an action, adventure, science fiction and hilarious film. Three scientists are thrown out of the positions they earned at a university in New York, where they were studying supernatural. Out of work, they agree to take up the job of Ghostbusters in an old firehouse, a nearby shop, where they start trapping and hunting spirits and ghosts for money. The movie shows how they stumble upon a crucial situation where they deliver an untold evil upon the city.

Critics believe that this movie is one of the best comedy horror spoofs ever made. Also the film is an exception to the usual or rather to all other movies because it has it everything a movie can have, ranging from action right upto fiction. The film is considered paranormal fun with scares as well.

The audiences believe Ghostbusters is one of the original comedies and is absolutely innovative. This movie is seen as a classic and there are so many aspects of the film which can be spoken of, such as the excellent work put by the cast. This film offers little something for everyone who watches it. So if you haven’t seen it as yet, do watch it!

Review:

Directed by Barry Levinson and written by Mitch Markowitz, Good Morning, Vietnam is a drama and hilarious movie where a new disc jockey is sent from Crete all the way to Vietnam to bring  fun and happiness to the Armed Forces Radio. He does all he can for the armed forces, including visiting soldiers, when he is off air. Gradually a lot of people start liking him not only because he is an excellent jockey but also because he brings the soldiers back to life.

Critics believe that this levinson drama movie about Vietnam has been a star vehicle for Robin Williams who gave just the right performance.  The movie has been highly recommended because of its comedic output and its power to bring out the message, and if you’ve not watched this movie in a while, you should consider picking it up.

Audiences believe that Robin Williams has done absolute justice to the film and if not for him; the movie surely would not have been a success. The movie was sensitive and strong and the message reached out clearly. Forest Whitaker also did justice to his role in the movie along with Tung Thanh Tran. It’s a must see movie and an all time favorite.

Review:

The Muppets movie for the year 2011 may really be the greatest muppet movie ever made. It revolves around the muppets’ struggle to save their memorable theater. As usual, Kermit is the lead and will be the one to unite the muppets again to save their Muppet Studios in bright Hollywood. To be able to do that, they will be helped by some friends and they will put together a new show to be able to garner 10 million people to pay and contribute to the money they need to raise and all will be well.

Jason Segel is starring in the movie but what could be surprising is that he is also writing it. Though he is not entirely responsible for the screenplay, his team up with Nicholas Stoller, who was also with Segel in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, can be a blast. The director of The Muppet Movie is James Bobin, who has not much theatrical experience, yet he did wrote, produced, and directed a series of episodes aired in HBO. His projects include Da Ali G Show and Flight of the Conchords. So we know that he has a funny side.

After his stint at Forgetting Sarah Marshall, this is the second attempt of Jason Segel in screenwriting. We will see if he has enough potential to go on for succeeding movies. But since Segel has already proved that he is a talented actor, then it is not difficult to see him as a talented screenwriter. Plus, he is a hardworking guy

Review:

So a crowd of college students are steering dead set the hills of eastern United States to camp. Also trailing the same way are certified bushwhackers Dale and Tucker who are both excited to death for these two men have accomplished a lifelong ambition in buying a hillside summer house. You could call it a tumble-down shack, but they still call it their kingdom and we’re supposed to be happy for the two them.

Now Chad, the college kid who’s preppy because he has some fashion by wearing his collar up, tells he group one of those scary movie campfire tales that scares the crap out of everybody, so everyone just decides to go skinny dipping. The pack of college kids also has in their group black person Jason that is played by awesome Brandon Jay McLaren, plus another black person Naomi is played by equally good Christie Laing. Both of them were also seen in Sea Beast, where both of them played the role of a couple as well.

What’s actually really good about Tucker and Dale vs. Evil is that it is one of the most hilarious movies you could ever see. Though we know that a lot of comedy flicks have already been released this year, this movie is actually something that you would still want to see even if you have been loaded with a lot of funny stories already.

Storyline / Description: When a pack of industrious men discover they have became a victim to a rich business man’s Ponzi plot, they team up to rob his extravagant residence.

Review:

Another comedy flick set to hit the theaters this year is Tower Heist starring outrageously funny Eddie Murphy and classic comedy film man Ben Stiller. It revolves around a pack of blue-collar men who are screwed by their boss and robbed them of their pension, so to make it even, they decide to get back what was originally theirs and plan to rob him in his tower.

So the guys, who work their ass off to support their families, had their pension funds ripped off by the bad guy Bernie Madoff (with a surname like that, anyone would think that he will rob you) and his character is played well by Alan Alda. The guys who felt betrayed then decides to have a revenge on the scoundrel in his tower. Whether they make it or break it, it is up to us to see the movie. Murphy has been successful in the Shrek series being the voice of Donkey, and Stiller has had his share of funny films like the Focker trilogy. Getting the two of them together is not yet a certain click, but this movie will tell.

Brett Ratner is the director of the movie. It is quite interesting that he took this project since he was the director of X-Men: Last Stand which has a totally different genre compared to a comedy like this. However, since we already know that he has what it takes to produce a good movie, then this film may turn out to be good, too.
