The adventures of Hiccup and his dragon Toothless conclude in How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. A year after being made chieftain of Berk, Hiccup (Jay Baruchel), along with Astrid (America Ferrera), Snotlout (Jonah Hill), Fishlegs (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), Ruffnut (Kristen Wiig), and Tuffnut (Justin Rupple), have set it among themselves to rescue dragons from hunters and bring them back home […]

The dragon-riding Vikings return in Dreamworks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon 2.  It has been five years since the village of Berk have made peace with the dragons that roam the land.  Having come of age, Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) has been asked by his father, Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler), to succeed him as […]

Ever since films like Porky’s topped the box office charts more than 30 years ago, teen sex comedies have been spreading the message that there must be something inherently wrong with a person, who is not sexually active by the time they finish high school.  Of course, a belief like this wrong, and perhaps a […]

Probably one of the most famous biblical comedies out there is Monty Python‘s Life of Brian. I don’t think that Year One can really be compared to that film, however I do say that the biblical jokes were some of the best parts of this film. In fact the film can be summed up in […]

If I didn’t know better, I would have thought Role Models was produced by Judd Apatow. Not only does it star Paul Rudd, who has been a constant supporting character in Apatow’s films, but it also features Elizabeth Banks (in her third film within a month), Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Jane Lynch, Ken Jeong, and Joe Lo […]
