DJ Ahku's Movie Reviews: 'Take Me Home Tonight' (2011)

Movie: Take Me Home Tonight (2011)

My Rating: 5.5/10 Stars *****'

A comedy flick about young people in the 80's starring Topher Grace and Anna Faris. This one has lots of great 80s music (so if you like 80s music you will enjoy), partying, hookin up, and having trouble with being 'responsible young adults' in the 80s. Check this one out if you like 80s music, and if you like movies that revisit the 80s in general, but don't expect much as it is basically a comedy party flick reminiscent of such movies as Better Off Dead, Weekend at Bernies, or even Pretty In Pink.

Sneaks' Movie Reviews: 'Sex and the Single Girl' (1964)

Movie: Sex and the Single Girl (1964)

Director: Richard Quine

Rating: 8/10 Stars ********

Great Movie! A 60's era romantic comedy, with little to no seriousness to it, starring Tony Curtis, Henry Fonda, and Natalie Wood. A young pHD female psychologist gets pursued and scammed by a tabloid-magazine writer who is looking for a juicy dirt-story to publish about her, however he finds himself in love with this pretty psychologist and a lot of misunderstandings ensue. Check this one out if you like goofy old romantic comedies.

Sneaks' Movie Reviews: 'Hellboy' (2004)

Movie: Hellboy (2004)

Director: Guillermo del Toro

My Rating: 7/10 Stars *******

Yes, I know, I am still way behind on my movies list, so once again will try to post more reviews to catch up with what I've been watching (and so many good ones too), but no more than one per day. Hellboy was quite a bit better than I expected it to be. A sci-fi action flick about Hellboy (comic book character) who, along with his team of special beings has to face monsters and villains from all time periods to save the world from destruction and demonic invasion. Definitely check this one out if you are looking for some sci-fi action/comedy to watch. Its kind of too good to miss, so just make sure you watch it at some point :) Hard to believe its an 8 year old movie already!

Sneaks' Movie Reviews: 'The Americanization of Emily' (1964)

Movie: The Americanization of Emily (1964)

Director: Arthur Hiller

Rating: 8.0/10 Stars ********

An interesting and funny movie about a Navy-man (Garner) who is given the ludicrous task by his Admiral of photographing the first body on Omaha beach (on D-Day) to give good press to the Navy and thus avoid the splitting of the Navy and Air-Force. Also a love story in this one between Garner and Andrews which keeps it entertaining.

Sneaks' Movie Reviews: 'Who's Harry Crumb' (1989)

Movie: Who's Harry Crumb (1989)
Director: Paul Flaherty
Rating: 6.4/10 Stars ******'

I gave this one 6.4 stars mainly because of John Candy. Candy plays a clumsy private detective (much like a Pink Panther or Naked Gun sort) who is called up to investigate the kidnapping of a billionaire's daughter. Not Candy's best, but still worth watching at least once for a few good laughs and by the simple fact that it stars John Candy. 

Brief Movie Reviews: 'How To Kill Your Neighbor's Dog' (2000)

Movie: How To Kill Your Neighbor's Dog (2000)
Director: Michael Kalesniko
Rating: 3.4/5 Stars ***'

Don't be fooled by the dodgy title of this movie, as it really has nothing to do with the movie, except that at the end of the movie someone's dog gets shot by a crazy person. This is a light-hearted comedy about a successful English-playwright who lives in Los Angeles and is struggling to balance his professional life with his wife's desire to have children, as well as be stalked by a fan who wants to be him. This was better than I thought it would be and actually has some clever dialogue and humor, check it out.

A Brief Movie Review for 'Hot Tub Time Machine' (2010)

Movie = Hot Tub Time Machine (2010)
Director = Steve Pink
Rating = 2.5/5 Stars **'

A group of friends head to an old ski-resort spot to discover their hotel-room hot tub has taken them back in time to 1986 and a previous trip they had there, but this time they have to re-live everything the same way or risk disrupting the future. This movie was funny and definitely a dude-flick. There's the usual crude/bathroom humor and the plot seems to be quite original (what with the hot tub time machine) too. I can't say they portrayed the 80s all that well as the preview potrayed, but this one is good for a laugh and watching once.

A Brief Movie Review for 'Feed The Fish' (2009)

Movie = Feed The Fish (2009)

Director = Michael Matzdorff

Rating = 2.5/5 Stars **

This movie is about a children's books author who moves from Los Angeles to a rural and wintry Wisconsin to get inspired to write. During his trip he meets a new girl and starts to get to know a few of the locals in the small town. Not a new plot outline by any means, but the movie is entertaining and lacks any real acting quality (mostly amateur actors I would guess) by any of the actors/actresses, but its really just a feel-good flick anyways, and oh yes, I do review every movie I watch and I know...I know.......
