Fans of South Park may be disappointed. Ditto for fans of Alec Baldwin and Matt Damon. The film seeks to offend everyone, as does South Park, but overall it’s not nearly as funny. The first 30 minutes of "Team ... http://filmweviews.com/moviemoll/team-america-world-police-2/ Team America: World Police, Unrated, f* yeah! Southpark creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, along with co-writer, Pam Brady, skewer everyone from the left to the right and take on international terrorists too. This puppet-powered full-length action/comedy feature blasts Americans who toe the party line and terrorists who wouldn’t know a ... http://filmweviews.com/groovymovieguy/team-america-world-police/ Let's face it, folks, the experimental'60s pushed the boundaries to make some terrible movies. Not this time, though. This is the real thing. A compelling story, solid acting and a car chase that set the bar for all that would follow. Steve McQueen at his prime plays a San Francisco cop ... http://filmweviews.com/groovymovieguy/bullitt/ Denzel Washington is in top form as the lead in this gritty thriller set in Mexico. Washington plays Creasy, a former federal agent protecting a child (Dakota Fanning) who is kidnapped under Creasy's watch. The reluctant protector who grew close to his charge will now do anything to save her. The ... http://filmweviews.com/groovymovieguy/man-on-fire/ Gene Wilder is a great comic actor who can stand alone -- think "Young Frankenstein" -- but pairing him with Richard Pryor in this, their first film together, was comic genius. It's unfortunate that half the movie was over before Pryor's character joined the plot. Trains, planes and automobiles are all ... http://filmweviews.com/groovymovieguy/silver-streak-2/ This movie would have been a mildly entertaining Gene Wilder comedy thriller even without Richard Pryor, but the first-time screen pairing of Wilder and Pryor, which turned out to be a magic combination, makes this a great film. A cross-country train trip turns into a roller coaster ride for average ... http://filmweviews.com/moviemoll/silver-streak/ My advice is "don't bother with the Zohan." I admit that Adam Sandler movies are hit or miss for me. If you enjoyed "Waterboy," you'll probably like Zohan. My favorite Sandler film is "The Wedding Singer." There are a few really good laughs in "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" -- ... http://filmweviews.com/moviemoll/you-dont-mess-with-the-zohan-2/ With a cover shot of Adam Sandler's crotch prominently displayed, who knew the unrated version of "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" would feature so much of his (or a double's) exposed back side? While you don't mess with this kung-fu like master Israeli warrior, he messes with quite a ... http://filmweviews.com/groovymovieguy/you-dont-mess-with-the-zohan/ Blah, blah, blah. Hollywood making a statement about Hollywood. Who gives a rat's ass. And they didn't even go "full retard." (Stop whining about that statement. Watch the movie and you'll understand.) The best part of "Tropic Thunder" is Robert Downey Jr. who is the only actor who could pull ... http://filmweviews.com/groovymovieguy/tropic-thunder/
