DVD Review: The Duchess (2008)

The Masked Movie Snobs — Tue, 6 Jan 2009 18:31:30 EST

An intriguing insight into what women of the time had to do to attain high stature, yet which afforded them no power.
Written by Pollo Misterioso The Duchess is a movie about women. In fact, it is a movie about 18th century English women. But in no way is this movie specifically for women, although one might think differently. Based on a true story, The Duchess is an intriguing insight into what women of the time had to do to attain high stature, yet which...

DVD Review: Behind Enemy Lines - Colombia

The Masked Movie Snobs — Sun, 4 Jan 2009 03:30:12 EST

Thankfully, I made it out alive, though I�ll probably never be the same again.
Written by El Puerquito MagnificoOkay, I’ll be perfectly honest with you. The only reason I even watched this movie was because it starred Ken Anderson, better known as Mr. Kennedy of World Wrestling Entertainment fame. I hadn’t seen the first two films in the Behind Enemy Lines series and really had no desire to. I didn’t have...

Fans of standup should certainly check this out.

Movie Review: Bedtime Stories (2008)

The Masked Movie Snobs — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 05:16:21 EST

Adam Sandler�s new film Bedtime Stories offers little for either children or adults.
Written by Hombre Divertido Bedtime stories are great for kids, and good ones can be fun for adults, but Adam Sandler’s new film Bedtime Stories offers little for either.Sandler had nowhere to go but up after the summer disaster that was You Don't Mess with the Zohan, and this is certainly a far more enjoyable film, but that isn’t...

DVD Review: Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget

The Masked Movie Snobs — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 15:49:51 EST

I hope the Olsen twins have a good sense of humor.

The implication being that the roastee takes it all in good humor and isn’t...

Blu-ray Review: Ghost

The Masked Movie Snobs — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 01:27:42 EST

An enjoyable and touching love story.

My girlfriends and I saw it multiple times when it was in the theaters in hopes that one day we would find a love like Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. Ghost came out in 1990 and was a big box office success and even earned Whoopi Goldberg an Academy Award for best...

The Masked Movie Snobs — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 16:43:27 EST

Gervais fans will be a little disappointed but the film does have some laughs and some nice moments.
Written by Mil PeliculasBertram Pincus is British dentist (oh, the irony) living in New York City. He's also an insufferable jerk who would be much happier if everyone just stopped talking to him. After a snag during a minor surgical procedure, Pincus dies for "a bit less" than seven minutes, but is revived and sent home. Strange...
