  1. Still, there's something to be said for a movie you like well enough at the time.
  2. "Law Abiding Citizen" is one of those movies you like more at the time than in retrospect. I mean, come on, you're thinking.
  3. This isn't a laugh-laugh movie, but a wince-wince movie. Those can be funny, too.
  4. I can't prove it but I'm absolutely certain more than half of everyone on Earth has heard some version of that joke.
  5. I'm sure you've heard the old joke where Job asks the Lord why everything in his life is going wrong. Remember what the Lord replies?
  6. End of 'Couples Retreat' review: The first was a rabbit which looked like nothing else than a chocolate bunny. That would have been strange.
  7. The movie has a good feeling, but why do I know more about this subject than Chris Rock does? Smile.
  8. That is the way of women, unlike us male clods who settle on a hair style in grade school and stick with it like Rod Blagojevich.
  9. Yes, many black women enjoy their straight hair, whether natural or by way of extensions. They look great.
  10. The usefulness of gender in a species without genitalia is not discussed, not even wistfully.
  11. There are other characters, including the town's bombastic mayor, a Herculean mascot for the sardine ad campaigns, a monkey and so on.
  12. It's a good thing the movie is animated. That makes it easier to create a tornado funnel cloud made of spaghetti and meatballs.
  13. The movie mentions Nigerian prostitutes servicing the aliens, but wisely refrains from entertaining us with this spectacle.
  14. I suppose there’s no reason the first alien race to reach the Earth shouldn’t look like what the cat threw up.
  15. Missiles also strike Mount Rushmore. No, wait! That was during one of the Coming Attractions!
  16. There is never any clear sense in the action of where anything is in relation to anything else. You get more of a binary action strategy.
  17. We thought ice floated in water but, no, you can see big falling ice chunks real good here. It must be only in your Coke that it floats.
  18. What is Cobra? What nationality are its leaders, other than Scottish? What will it gain by destroying world capitols? Reader, I do not know.
  19. But that's the kind of detail I tend to get wrong, because that's more fun that getting it right.
  20. Zeus had his thunderbolts, Hades his three-headed dog, and Hermes his winged feet. Could Zeus run fast? Did Hermes have a dog? No.
