Friday, a review by Rich

Friday



Thoroughly charming and totally hilarious day-in-the-life comedy in which co-writer Ice Cube plays the stoic Craig opposite Chris Tucker's Smokey, a brilliantly rendered hyperactive marijuana enthusiast. The two twentysomethings, Craig recently wrongly fired and Smokey terminally slacking and scamming, barely make it through one highly eventful day. Eloquent commentary on themes like community, family, friendship, and violence is seamlessly blended with lighter treatments of young romance, bathroom emergencies, nosy neighbors and much more. Casually impeccable performances by the entire cast make this film a standout.

Scattered with hilarious one-liners, plausible plot and humorous undertone, Chris Tucker steals the film with a great performance.
Leave your brain aside, and enjoy some 'in da hood' humour, and occasionally some good music!

Call Me Claus, a review by addicted2dvd

Call Me Claus Lucy Collins (Goldberg) is a cranky, volatile producer at home shopping network in charge of hiring the station's on-air Santa Claus. Nigel Hawthorne is the "real" Santa Claus, who, finding himself at the end of his 200-year contract, must convince Lucy that she is the perfect candidate to fill his shoes. A funny, moving and enlightening look at the true spirit of the Christmas season.

My Thoughts:
This is a TV Movie I recently recorded of cable. Not a bad movie... entertaining and has a few chuckles in it... but really isn't much more then that. I am not sure how I feel about the Santa outfit she got when she became the new Santa. I don't know... just seemed a bit on the strange side. I guess it was the white dreadlocks that threw me.

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

16. Foundling (2/20/94)
A strange globe Clark took from the wreckage of his spacecraft begins to project messages from his father and mother on Krypton. Then a teenage thief steals the globe...and sells it to Lex Luthor!

My Thoughts:
A good episode. I enjoyed how they handled showing Clark's past to him.


17. The Rival (2/27/93)
Suddenly The Metropolis Star is scooping the Daily Planet, and Star reporter Linda King is scooping her old rival in love and work, Lois Lane. While Lois has an emotional meltdown, Clark investigates how the Star always gets the story first.

My Thoughts:
This is another episode I really enjoyed. It is just a fun episode all around. I loved how insane with jealousy Lois got. And I had to laugh when Lois found Perry in Clarks closet and even for a brief minute thought... uh... it wasn't exactly work related.
