I thought that (Matt LeBlanc + Eddie Izzard) X Crossdressing = Comedy, but it got too dramatic at times, and tried to take itself seriously. It felt strangely hollow, and I couldn't get into it, if not for the fairly good ensemble of actors that tried their best to make it work.

Bobby Loves Mangos (1998) - Rated 13 Aug 2007

Interesting concept, very much like a low-rent "Outer Limits" episode. Still, impressive given the filmmaker's resources.

Live and Let Die (1973) - Rated 13 Aug 2007

Not a big fan of the Moore bond movies, as I found them overly campy. This effort is just the first step on that road to uber-corniness that is just too over-the-top to be enjoyable.

Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God (2005) - Rated 13 Aug 2007

Worlds better than the abysmal first movie, this one, while having that direct-to-video sensibility, felt much more like a D&D game put on film.

A Christmas Story (1983) - Rated 13 Aug 2007

Quite the classic Christmas film for a more cynical generation. Brings up a lot of good childhood memories, and there's a reason TNT shows it for the entirety of Christmas Day.

Goldfinger (1964) - Rated 13 Aug 2007

Easily the best of the old Bond films - it set the mold for what all cool super-spy film shoud be.

Three Amigos! (1986) - Rated 13 Aug 2007

Fantastic effort from three comedic geniuses of the 1980s. Though the kitsch factor is high at times, it's still an incredibly fun satire of show business.

Tron (1982) - Rated 13 Aug 2007

Strangely enough, the pic for the movie is from the computer game Tron 2.0, but I digress. This is a classic Disney film, and one of the first to use extensive CGI. The look is so incredibly unique, though the script and acting could use a little work. All in all, a unique film.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) - Rated 13 Aug 2007

I am a huge Star Trek fan, but I recognize that this film is insanely boring. The cast phones it in, the costumes are ridiculous, and the pacing is too slow for words. the score is good, but we're basically treated to two hours of fancy optical effects and people in pajamas staring goggle-eyes at a viewscreen.

Hook (1991) - Rated 13 Aug 2007

I like Hook - it really throws a curveball at the Peter Pan mythos, and Robin Williams is good in one of his earlier film performances. (Would he be outbilled by Dustin Hoffman today? The world may never know.)
