A wealthy, obnoxious woman hires a carpenter to do some work on her yacht. When the two don’t see eye-to-eye, the carpenter is left unpaid, while the woman, Joanna, sets sail. The following day, after falling overboard, Joanna’s fished out of the sea. When she is diagnosed with amnesia, the carpenter sees a great way to regain the money she owes him…he tells Joanna she’s his wife; that way he gets a free housekeeper and mother for his four kids. A spoiled, wealthy yacht owner is thrown overboard and becomes the target of revenge from his mistreated employee. I watched...

It’s Batman vs. Jack the Ripper in an Elseworld’s adventure that imagines the Dark Knight over a hundred years ago in a turn-of-the-century Gotham. I liked this story much better when it was a comic book, there was definitely something lost in the translation from page to film.

An elite federal marshal known as the “Eraser” who guarantees the safety of valuable informers by erasing their identities, relocating them and protecting them from exposure. Vanessa Williams has great eyes and both she and Arnold Schwarzenegger were great in a movie that’s about as 90’s as you can possibly get, with all the shoulder pads and “high tech weapons”, with just a dash of 80’s arming up montage to make you remember just who Arnold really is.

When her husband dumps her, Deanna (Melissa McCarthy) goes back to college at the same school as her daughter. Embracing freedom, fun and frat boys, Deanna finds her true self. One of Melissa McCarthy’s few comedy roles where it was a feel good comedy instead of a hateful or spiteful plot where she flails about commenting on hilariously overweight, awkward, or incompetent she is.  “Life of the Party” is downright enjoyable and easily one of her best movies yet.

Everyone’s favorite law enforcement team is back by popular demand with the long anticipated follow up to the cult comedy classic…SUPER TROOPERS. Made my wife watch this, it was funny to me again, I believe she enjoyed it.
