There are several documentaries at theaters these days, but how about a comical one that’s enjoyable? What about one called Good Hair? Actually who would have thought that hair is funny? Well Chris Rock shows how funny it could be in this hilarious doc on women keeping it cool with extensions and sodium hydroxide.
I cannot tell a lie, The Invention of Lying is insipid, imitative and somewhat irreverent. Although the film may work in England with Gervais’s very dry humor, the funny stuff just doesn’t win here.

Take a true story from the headlines, add some Hollywood comedy and try to make it into a full-fledged feature film. It is no easy task, except if you are Steven Soderbergh. His newest film The Informant is fascinating, remarkable and fun. If you are into films like Catch Me If You Can, A Beautiful Mind or Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, then The

Informant should be just as captivating for you as it is for me.
The movie All About Steve can be summed up with a quick quip; It’s “Sandra Bullock on Crank.†The movie starts out with an absolutely great beginning that had me laughing at every turn, but midway though the film Bullock’s character becomes very annoying and the film spirals downward to it’s barely credible predictable ending.
Apparition will release BLACK DYNAMITE in the U.S. on October 16. Directed and co-written by Scott Sanders, the film stars Michael Jai White as Black Dynamite, a gun-toting, nunchuck-wielding, ladies man willing to fight all the way from the blood-soaked city streets to the hallowed halls of the Honky House.
Among other things, Road Trip: Beer Pong hits the target market with a quirky and sexy little story much like Beerfest and American Pie did when they came out in movie theaters. A sequel of sorts to the original Road Trip,

the movie never made it to the big screen, but plays well on your television or computer.
The acting sucks, the direction did not help the weak plot and the movie drags to its hackneyed predictable ending. The only good thing about Adventureland comes with the cinematography that isn’t half bad.
Funny happens in I Love You, Man, an mature adult film that provides a lot of laughs. Now on DVD, the fun keeps going with some very good bonus features. The movie has a lot going for it including an unusual storyline filled with some great gags, pratfalls and scenes of total nonsense. If you like Paul Rudd and Jason Segel from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, this is your kind of film.
The Simpson’s never get old they just get funnier and crazier. In this 473 minute 4 disc set the show provided me with non-stop laughter, and I even had seen most of the episodes on TV already. Warning; you have to like tongue-in-cheek humor and not mind rude, insensitive, obnoxious, mindless, moronic behavior, because that’s what it’s all about.
