He's Just Not That Into You, a review by Rich

He's Just Not That Into You





Brainless romcom that misses the mark in every department. Tedious and dull, it is basically a movie about a herd of desperate whining women bemoaning men and there ways. Are there really such naive and narrow minded people still in existence?
Too few laughs and up moments, overall a depressing view of love and dating in USA, one to avoid.

Tadpole, a review by Rich

Tadpole



Fifteen-year-old Prep student Oscar Grubman (Aaron Stanford) feels that girls his own age haven't lived enough, which is why he's coming home to Manhattan's Upper East Side for Thanksgiving to profess his love to his stepmother, Eve (Sigourney Weaver)--whose marriage to his professor father (John Ritter) has become routine and uninspiring. Unable to find the right moment to express himself, Oscar slips out to a bar after dinner and finds himself drunk and missing his wallet. Walking home, he bumps into Eve's best friend, Diane (Bebe Neuwirth), a sexy chiropractor who offers to take him home to detox. A backrub leads to a kiss, which results in Oscar and Diane spending the night together. Oscar, feeling he has betrayed his true love, must now prevent Diane--who laughs at the whole situation--from telling Eve what has happened between them.

Disjointed tale with low-budget digital production values, it is too far a stretch of the imagination to assume so many beautiful middle aged women would fall for a nerdy pretentious academic 15 year old. There are some elements of quite good wry humour, but it is lost in what can best be described as a boring immature Graduate clone.

"Due South" marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

They Eat Horses, Don't They?

Another good episode. I would still rate it at a 4... but it is ever so slightly down from the previous episodes in my opinion. I guess it was just the storyline for this particular episode that I didn't care as much for. But the characters were still all good.

Rating:
