Scary Movie, a review by addicted2dvd

Scary Movie
This hilarious, must-see comedy smash places Carmen Electra (TV's Baywatch), Marlon Wayans (Senseless), Jon Abrahams (Boiler Room, The Faculty) and some of today's hottest young stars in a wickedly funny send-up of today's most popular horror movies! A familiar-looking group of teenagers find themselves being stalked by more-than-vaguely recognizable masked killer! As the victims begin to pile on, none of your favorite scary movies escape the razor-sharp satire of this outrageously funny parody! With Shannon Elisabeth, Shawn Wayans and Cheri Oteri adding sidesplitting performances, there's nothing to fear in this scary movie...unless you're afraid of laughing too much!

My Thoughts:
I can't have a Comedy-Horror marathon and not watch Scary Movie! This movie mostly spoofs the movie Scream... but also spoofs some others such as I Know What You Did Last Summer, Blair Witch Project and The Sixth Sense. It even throws in a little from non-horror movies such as The Matrix. I think this is a good movie for what it is. A movie to make fun of other movies. It has some decent jokes... of course some of them are rather juvenile and sick... but it is what it is and worth checking out if you like movie spoofs.

Review



       Kevin Costner has been pretty successful starring in baseball films, and his career will be best defined in years to come by his performance in Field of Dreams Joe Jackson (Ray Liotta) and over the next few days the rest of the Chicago Sox are magically transported onto the field. The voice then sends him on a cross-country trek that will introduce him to two strangers whose lives will also be changed by visiting the mystical diamond. Redemption is at the heart and soul of Field of Dreams and through personal sacrifice all the characters involved will find the inner peace that has been missing from their lives through the tonic of baseball. If you are not a baseball fan this film will come across as rather corny and over-sentimental, but to the legions of baseball purists in our country, it is just short of Citizen Kane in their eyes.



       That being said, the one problem I have with the film is the casting of Ray Liotta as Eight Men Out

       Putting the Liotta matter aside, Field of DreamsReview Criterion4 Stars - Historically important film, considered a classic.

I really enjoyed this one. Even though its title is Superman/Batman, this is more of a Supergirl movie. It is essentially an origin story for her. And who would be better than Summer Glau to voice her.

The Blu-ray also contains a short Green Arrow movie. This is the first time that I saw Green Arrow in something outside of "Smallville". I also enjoyed this movie. It also has a short appearance of Black Canary.

Furthermore it contains four episodes of the 90s Superman animated TV series. "Little Girl Lost (Part 1+2) introducing Supergirl. And "Apokolips...Now! (Part 1+2).
