Not Another Teen Movie, a review by Jimmy

Title : Not Another Teen Movie (2001)

Overview
In this over-the-top parody of the classic moments in teen movie history, super-jock Jake Wyler makes a bet with his buddies that he can turn the school frump into a prom queen.

My Impression
We are almost at the end of the marathon and I've decided to watch one that I know and like. This one is the best of this genre made in this decade and yes I find this better than Shaun of the Dead (Sorry Jon). Evidently the fact that I've watched most of the movies referenced in this help to my appreciation. This isn't really good for my reputation but at one point I was watching regulary movies like Can't Hardly Wait, Varsity Blues, She's All That, Cruel Intentions, Never Been Kissed, ... Since I'm 39 years old I've watched the batch of eighties teen movie (The Breakfast Club, Risky Bussiness, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, ...) too (but I was a teenager than) so it's good to see the references at those movie too. The cameo done by Molly Ringwald (God she's beautifull) and Paul Gleason are nice surprises. The casting choices are particullary good with many up and coming young actors who had move for most of them to "better" thing. One of the best choice is Lacey Chabert who in the film play the role of Amanda (the same role played By Jennifer Love Hewitt in Can't Hardly Wait), she looks exactly like JLH. There are so many great joke in this that you laugh from the beginning... By exemple when The Token Black Guy encounters the other black guy at the party or when the father of Jake presents him a rebound girl or one of my favourite line at the prom dance (Who would've guessed that everyone in school was a professional dancer?). I like the music too, nice idea to had eighties songs (original or remade) for the soundtrack.

I know that this review take some of you by surprise, but I really like this film that is exactly what a parody is suppose to be.

edit : I even listen an album of Jennifer Love Hewitt while I had wrote my review

My Thoughts:
This is the first time I have watched this movie in a very long time. This is only the second time I watched it since I bought it a good 7 years ago. Not because it is a bad movie as I do enjoy it. Though I don't think I enjoy it quite as much as a lot of people. It is a good story but I do find it slow at times. Plus there is the fact that I was never much of a fan of Richard Dreyfuss though I did enjoy him in this more then I do in most movies I have seen with him. Over all... I would definitely recommend this one.

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd

Good Morning World
Good Morning World - The flrty 60's TV sitcom that takes mixing business with pleasure to new extremes! The action unfolds every day at a small Las Angeles radio station where Larry (Ronnie Schell), and Dave (Joby Baker) work as morning show DJs. While Larry is a swinging Ladies' man with his eye on every woman on the block, including Dave's bombshell neighbor (Goldie Hawn) Dave is the bumbling married guy who is just trying to stay out of trouble with his wife (Julie Parish). Despite their good intentions they find no end to adventureas their job gets them into all sorts of fun - from broadcasting from a nude ranch, to polling listeners about Dave's wife, to using their job as an excuse to take flying lessons. This is the series that launched the mega-career of Hollywood starlet, Goldie Hawn, and it set the standard for edgy, provocative sitcom style that America has come to adore.

Knits to You, Sir
When Dave and his wife Linda try to return a "bargain" sweater, they get into a dispute with the store, which happens to be a sponsor of Dave's show.

My Thoughts:
This is a series that I bought blind when I found I could get the entire series (26 Episodes) for under $20... and it had Goldie Hawn in it... so figured I would give it a chance. It is a pretty good show. Has a few laughs... but not a favorite in my collection. I found out today while trying to get info on this series for my post that the episodes are not in order on the discs. This pilot episode is the fourth episode in the set. I also have to say... this has one of the most annoying themes out there. But the show isn't too bad really... it does have some laughs in it.

My Rating:
