Star Wars parodies are fun (0 more)
Lots of off color humor as usual (0 more)
If you enjoy Family Guy in general, you will find their parodies or random movie references to be the funniest in general.

The third in their series of parodies, It's a Trap gives the audience exactly what they are expecting if you have seen Blue Harvest and Something, Something, Something, Dark Side, but still a fresh set of laughs.


Mostly goofy, oddball stuff, but enough to recommend.

"I love Kurosawa’s crime movies. The first half of High and Low is so well told, paced, acted, and shot—and it’s all in one room! Then you get into this fascinating police procedural where Toshiro Mifune and his family vanish and the cops take over. I mean, this movie has the “guy unloading crates while being questioned by the cops” scene that is in every Law and Order episode. Kurosawa’s influence is always being felt!"

Where is the dialogue?
There there is very little dialogue in this movie. Nearly all of the movie is a gun fight or fist fight. But wbyyyyyy?

It's endless violence on violence. Basically, if you've seen Peter Griffin fight the chicken on Family Guy, you've seen this movie, just a little government corruption added to the mix.

If you're in the mood for relentless violence, you might like this movie. Other than that, the whole thing is pointless.

Escape Clause by Mary Billiter

Four Stars

This story was seriously funny and sad at the same time. You have Ollie's family betraying him and each other. Then there is the family businesses that are failing. I like Ollie he is very sweet and loyal. He is the type of guy you want around when you have pms. Kelsey was a strong person and I give her mad props for putting up with the mess her son's father put in her way. On top of her family not supporting her and believing her. Their relationship was quirky and fun. Ollie treated her son like he was his and you have to appreciate anyone who steps into a rule for a child. I enjoyed the story and how the author twisted the plot. The characters were relatable and well written.

I haven't read the novel this show was based upon, but according to a lot of other reviews I saw, apparently they changed a lot. So, if you loved the book, don't expect the show to be a carbon copy.
Since I didn't read the book, I absolutely loved this miniseries. I did sort of guess who the murderer of matriarch, Rachel Argyll, was, but it definitely left me guessing as to whether or not he/she actually murdered her.
This story involves a family of adopted children, and the parents. One of the sons, Jack, is accused of murdering his mother, and is sent to jail with supposed 'hard-evidence'. All the while, Jack, is claiming he got a ride from some guy, who never comes forward...until after Jack dies in jail. The arrival of the guy from the alibi, throws the family into an uproar, and the killer is revealed.
The first two episodes, you're wondering what actually happened that night, and the third episode is the pay off.

"#5, I’ll put Galaxy Quest. I know Galaxy Quest is not a great movie, but I love that movie, and I’ve seen it over and over and over, and I still love it just as much. I think Tim Allen portraying a Kirk-like character is so damn funny. I think that’s one of the best “fan” films ever made. And the fake Spock guy was great, yeah. That movie’s really funny. We saw it when it first came out — my family has a tradition of always going to a movie on Christmas afternoon, and we went and saw that one. It was such a great family moment, too. It brings back good memories."
