Not as good as I remember it being. I remembered it as being a worthy remake of the original "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" movie, where my only real complaint was the stuff with that black foot. Now watching it directly after watching the original movie, it lost quite a bit.
But I still enjoyed it. It is a decent Adam Sandler style comedy remake (in parts more like a parody) of the original.

The Help, a review by Dragonfire

I was interested in seeing The Help after the first time I saw a preview for the movie.  It took me longer than I wanted, but I did get to see the movie.  It is wonderful and one of the best movies of the year with amazing performances.  I'll be surprised if some of the cast doesn't get nominated for some awards.

The movie is based on the book of the same name.  I haven't read it yet, but I'm sure I'll pick it up before much longer.  The author is from Jackson Mississippi, where the story takes place, and she was sort of raised by the maid, much like many of the characters.

The subject is a bit touchy and it is upsetting at times how the maids are treated by their white employers, but the movie is very good overall.  It definitely deserves to be seen.  Things are serious for the most part, but some funny moments happen as well.  One of those funny things is also a bit gross and might bother some people.  The characters are all interesting and Hilly makes a wonderful villain for the movie.  The cast is amazing.

I loved this movie and really do think it is one of the best of the year.  It is definitely worth seeing.



I did get a review posted at Epinions if anyone wants to take a look.

The Good Old Days TV Thread, a review by addicted2dvd

My Thoughts:
Another show I always liked. I used to watch reruns of this show through-out my teen years. This episode was particularly fun. I got a kick out of it. First Banner gets knocked out and stuffed in an oil drum. So we have the Hulk busting out of the drum in back of a truck. He tears open the top of the truck and pulls the driver out. Only to get distracted by the radio... he drops the guy and starts to mess with the radio. So the guy takes off. That just don't seem right... The Hulk getting distracted by a radio like that!
