Summary: Gender bias at to the max

A wonderful show to watch but never have I seen something to degrading to women. The title alone gives away the pseudo machoism before you even start watching, 'Mr.' How degrading can you be? In the skit 'Change for a dollar' you can also notice that at every level of business a man is in charge, from store clerk to president. What I can't believe about the whole thing is that no one else notices such an over sight. Nobody looks at the gender bias issue on television anymore. Maybe I am just a little more enlightened then the rest.

Summary: this movie doesn't need any rocks to rule.

i thought this was a great movie! the cast is nice, anna hathaway is just fit for a princess cos shes pretty and chris pine is oso so nice and handsome too! and julie andrews fit as a great queen too. this movie is great and excellent..... and the movie totally rocks. it's unlike those kind of mushy romantic movies in which they do nothing but whisper sweet nothings. in this movie, there is humour, interest and a tingle of romance! so this is an almost perfect movie!yesss everyone should watch this movie! heyyy go grab a ticket before they;re all sold out! =) heyyy. good movie. yeaah . and the critics are all gd. mostly good. so. watch it now. yes.yuppp.

Summary: Rip-Roaringly Funny! Mia Thermopolis for President!

I am a lover of comedy - the more a movie makes me laugh, the better! I'm also the king of the Situation Comedy (i.e., "Sitcom"), and my parents always say that it's fun to watch me watch television.

Now for the movie: I really didn't have high expectations. Was I ever in for a surprise! My wife, a young adult and children's librarian, has sneaked every Princess Diaries book home for me to read. (I'm the 38 year old father of my own 2 1/2 year old little princess.) I felt this movie was better than the first. Yes, the movie producers take quite a few liberties in their diversion from the books, but so what? It's just plain fun!

Part of the fun of this movie is the physical comedy aspects - a la Lucille Ball. I thought having the mattress sliding down an incline inside the castle was way cool, or Mia's best friend and mother hiding in the closet (each at different times), or riding side-saddled with a fake leg. Of course, Mia's klutziness greatly enhances the comedic opportunities! Then there's a surprise at the end, but I won't tell you what it is here since that would spoil the movie for those of you who have not seen it. (In the previews for the first movie, I just loved the scene where Mia caught her napkin on fire from the candles at a formal state dinner - I just knew I had to see that movie!)

Another reason this movie is fun: In this year of the presidential election and all the ensuing seriousness (a lot of angry people!), nothing could be more timely than this picture. Here you see Mia adjusting to being a princess, and then a queen of the fictitious country Genovia, and demonstrating true kindness. Even though she's a princess, she's still Mia, and you just fall in love with her! (Stop snickering -- my wife knows about all my crushes on female movie stars.) I wish Mia could be the president of the United States. Mia Thermopolis for President! (I bet she could straighten out the mess this country is in, too!) You go, girl!

Summary: It made me think about Aids.

I know I am going to offend people by saying this. But when I was looking at this film I couldnt help to think this movie was about Aids. The similarities are breathtaking. For Instance.. in the movie the only way to get the "power" away from Nagumo is to either digest his blood or sperm. Hmm.. where have we heard this one before. Apart from that, You see his body decaying while changing into the overfiend. The overfiend then destroys the world. THE worlds standing obviously for HIS World. I know, I might be seeing things that arent there, but it was defenitely is what came to mind. Not saying that it is a bad movie. Some things were typically Japanese for me, seeing that made little or no sence. But overall the movie was enjoyable.

Dan completely got the point when he watched Dr. Strangelove:

Summary: We need a sequel today

Sometimes a subject is so serious it can only be looked at in satire. Nuclear mistakes and dooms day arrival are such. Dr. Stangelove is a classic satire covering this subject. It was very effective. The acting was outstanding or even better than that. The technical end was remarkable for 1963 and still excellent today.

We have a serious problem today with North Korea and a funny little fat dictator. No one really wants to think about the implications. Maybe we need a sequel of Dr. Strangelove.

Houston didn't like it, but he sure likes Texas!

Summary: You've got to be kidding right?

This movie is really outdated, and unless you live in the 50's, you'll find it to be stupid as well. Peter Sellers sux as an actor, and to have him play an American President, was just as about as stupid as him playing a German scientist. It would've been better if he were to remain a mute and have Miss Foreign Affairs (aka Tracy Reed) to transcribe whatever he wants to say. I rented this flick, cause it's one of my father's all time favs, but he's still stuck in the 50's himself, so I can see where he's coming from. I love Slim Pickins, Darth Varder, and Patton, but the rest of the crew can ride that bomb and send the film back to the can where it came from. #11 on the all-time lists ??? You must be smokin something when watching this film. I had to watch it in three shifts, it was so boring. In fact, I'm late with the rental because I hate to return something that I didnt' finish seeing, no matter how bad a film it is.

Gotta run, catch y'all later!
