Kicking and Screaming: [PG] Will Farrell's take on the Bad News Bears via soccer was actually a pleasant surprise. It is hardly one of the groundbreaking roles for this comic madman, but it is the quiet Will Farrell (most of the time) and that can be funny enough. Add in a splash of Mike Ditka and Robert Duvall in high comic form, and it is a recipe for excellence. This is a light and funny treat.
Wedding Crashers: [R]
This dark comedy is not Old School or the other gross-outs that have made the reputation of Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn. Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of disgusting humor here, but most of it is cold and witty. The start of the movie is fast-paced and funny, the later (plot-filled parts) are much slower and much more dramatic. I can't quite recommend this one, because of the darker parts and colder sicker humor, but it is far better than the trailers make it out to be.
Ice Princess: [G] This is Disney's latest clone of the Mighty Ducks - a clean sports comedy that goes from hopelessness to triumph in about 10 easy steps. But let's be honest. These are fun movies, and when they are done well, they are a lot of fun. This one is no exception. The parts are played with charm by all involved, and there is geniune tension and drama, albeit at a teenaged girl level. Still, I recommend this one when you are in the mood for "light and fluffy."
Alien Planet: [TV] Okay this one ain't a movie. It is a TV show from Discovery channel, based on the same idea of the WALKING WITH DINOSAURS - taking creatures that can not possibly be seen in the real world, and using imagination to consruct them via CGI. This time, instead of being real monsters from the past, we are "walking with" aliens from a whole other hypothetical world. It is funny that I enjoy these things so much, considering how I am not convinced of the truth of macro-evolution. But I really do. They make some of the best science fiction stories out today.
