Andrew Furlong (14 KP) rated Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home (1986) in Movies
Sep 27, 2017
An absolutely ridiculous premise, turned into an actually good film (4 more)
Lots of "funny fish out of water" comedy
Every character gets their moment to shine
The whale probe has an aura of mystery about it
Infectiously upbeat
Not as thematically engaging as previous films (2 more)
May be too light for some
Saavik is dropped randomly
The funniest Trek
"The one with the whales" might seem ridiculous at first glance, but it's played with such sincerity and heart from the cast that it becomes genuinely funny and endearing. A great crowdpleaser.

Awesome Movie
This movie I had high hopes for and it did not disappoint. The acting was superb, nobody overacted or tried to steal the show. Gal Gadot was a perfect casting choice for Wonder Woman.
There was action, comedy and a little bit of romance. It balanced out quite well in this movie. I have watched it three times and each time I come out with something new from it. I hope the other movies in the franchise are just as good.

British comedy at its best
One of the greatest comiedies ever written. British legend John Clese and his merry gang so to speak create this 19070's era spoof on king arthur and his merry knights. His humor was different for it's time but really was the beginning for shows and movies like Police Squad and Airplane. If you haven't seen it and are a movie fan this is a must watch. If you need a good laugh this is a must watch or if it's on tv just watch it you wont regret it.
Shaun Collins (3 KP) rated Doctor Who: Renaissance of the Daleks in Books
Jan 12, 2018
Ambitious, but over reaching. The story can't really make up it's mind tonally what it's going for. One minute there are cute wind up Daleks over running the console room (which felt like it would have been great comedy) the next are horrible implications of preventing the Dalek invasion of Earth from happening (which aren't as serious as the story makes out). The result is a bit of a muddled mess. Enjoyable, but swinging the pendulum either way toward spoof or full blown Dalek mayhem would have helped immensely.
Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Get Out (2017) in Movies

Get Out is a comment on a highly complex situation that’s also a total blast
Critic Review by Olly Richards - Empire
Original Score: 4 out of 5
Excerpt:
Its primary function is as a horror movie with shades of comedy, and it succeeds superbly. A lot of its deeper messages, which you could pick apart ad nauseum, only really bubble to the surface in thinking about it after. Peele’s a rare director who can combine big ideas with big fun.

Bird (1700 KP) rated Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) in Movies

You can watch it 20 times (I have) and still find new gems of comedy genius (5 more)
The writing, quite unsurprisingly, is brutally intelligent
It manages to tickle your ribs at every opportunity
If you don't normally like Python, you can just remember bits of dialogue and sound like the master of wit in front of your friends.
Roger the shrubber, the Black Knight, coconuts, French insults and African Swallows. It's all in there!
Will distort your view of Arthurian legend forever
Makes Ben Hur Look Like An Epic!

Tom Hollands performance (3 more)
The downtime that shows that spidey is still a kid
A back story and characterisation for the villian
The comedy
Battle scenes that don't have suspense (2 more)
Repetitive battle scenes
Feels really out of place in the timeline
The Best Spider-Man yet?
Honestly, this is not as good as Sam Raimi's Spider-man 2 which is amazing but it is in close second/third out of them all. I'm not saying this film isn't enjoyable because it is but it just was okay, very simple and unique, like deadpool per say.

Giant Thomas the tank engine
Alot better than expected
Wasn't expecting to enjoy the film as much as i did. Comedy and fight scenes were brilliant. The scenes of a small nature made the film even better. It was obvious who the bad guy was to be in the film but how they portrayed him was very poor, kinda your basic old school villain, not what the film needed. Then there was the big Thomas..... loved it lol

Titus Andromedon - literally my favourite character (1 more)
John Hamm is such a good villain
Slightly ridiculous, over the top comedy
While this series is rather funny and watchable, there are times it's utterly cringe-worthy and I really did not like how the court scenes were handled. It's an incredibly dark topic, which writer Tina Fey does an almost excellent job of hilarity, but it falls short because it should never have been done given the horrible spate of male violence against women, and women being held against their will.
Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated How to Make White People Laugh in Books
Apr 27, 2018
I really enjoyed this book. It was clever and hilarious, and there were lots of great stories. Farsad brought a lot of heavy topics to the table, but in a way that showed the problem without pointing fingers and hating. I laughed the whole time and really enjoyed myself. Farsad referenced her documentary and comedy show The Muslims Are Coming quite a bit. I have totally added it to my To-Watch list. See the trailer below. - See more at: http://www.thelifeandlies.com/2016/07/how-to-make-white-people-laugh.html#sthash.2hEUhgFJ.dpuf
