"I was late to the Wes Anderson party. I had no idea what I was going to see when I sat down to watch this movie. It took me a moment to adjust to the humor and style that are Mr. Anderson’s signature. Once I did, I fell in love with the characters and the world they inhabit. Yes, I was late to the party, but I was thrilled to have arrived at all."

Horrorfying Summer
Summer of 84- is a really good comedy horror film. The plot is excellent, thoughout the movie it was creepy, scary, but also funny and dramatic.

The plot: Teenager Davey Armstrong is a conspiracy theorist who begins to suspect that a neighbour is a serial killer. With help from three friends, Davey launches a daring investigation that soon turns dangerous.

Its myesterious but also has dark humor within. I highly recordmend watching it.

By the numbers remake (0 more)
I actually didn't realize this was a remake until halfway through, and now I fear it's ruined the twist of the original Dirty Rotten Scoundrels that's been on my to-watch list for years. Oh well. The performances are great, the humor mostly works, I really have little to no complaints. It wasn't outstanding, but my wife and I enjoyed it.

Rollercoaster ride
A rollercoaster through time and spirit!
This glorious piece of fiction isn't so much a flowing, chronological novel as it is a series of stories with little life lessons and morals throughout.. Witty and dark with an easygoing take on a heavy spiritual topic akin to Tom Robbins or Vonnegut, this is a must-read both for the rollercoaster ride of adventure but also for some thought-provoking spiritual qualms.

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.

Gwendolyn, The Graceful Pig was adorable. The story was sweet, the pigs made you want them to succeed in their goals, and the Russian ballet teacher was true to the core. The illustrations were priceless! And it had a great conclusion. There was a little bit of humor that made it an enjoyable read for young dancers and parents or ballet teachers. Perfect for ages 3-6 for any young dancer with stars in their eyes

So much fun
I thought this movie was going to be more "corny", but start to finish this one was just a fun ride. There were some dark parts but they were highly overshadowed by the humor and action. The acting and characters were great and the cinematography/effects were too. It had a few good surprises and the story unfolded beautifully. This one is definitely a good "family movie night" kind of movie. Worth a watch!
  
Jamie Grimm is a middle schooler who has learned to deal with the sorrow in his life by telling jokes. Then he hears about a contest for kid comedians. Should he enter? I enjoyed the books and the humor definitely made me laugh. However, the plot introduced several potential conflicts only to drop them without any development at all.
