An unfortunate fact for long time serious fans. As one, I assumed th... | Positive | null | null |
Anyone who doesn't think Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey is one of the greatest movies of all time needs their head checked.

This is Paul F. Ryan's first and only full-length feature. He hasn't done anything since. However, he managed to get an amazing ensemble cast to portray the characters of his story.

Born Again is a okay episode of Season 1. The reincarnation bit, in my opinion, is cool. The more I watch it, the more I like it, yet it will never rise above 'Very Good' for me.

This is another gem of a stand up show from Eddie Izzard . You cannot fail to laugh at the wide range of topics he talks about.

Like the great classic Bugs Bunny cartoons, this movie has humor at different levels. I just introduced this to my 10 year old daughter and 11 year old son.

If Hollywood is to be believed, being in the the Navy is nothing but a bludge.

A lot of the problem many people have with this movie is that they seem to think that the story should have been more entertaining (ignoring it is based on a true story) or ranting against a film that glorifies Che (which it really doesn't).

Nothing new is this tired serio-comedy that wastes the talents of Danny Glover and Whoopi Goldberg. Considering that this was produced by the stars and Spike Lee, it's pretty tame and tired stuff.
