Movie Reviews

The Pink Panther

Had a few good laughs. Who doesn't love watching a stupid detective with an over-done French accent? Not the best movie ever, but decent.

The Benchwarmers

How to describe this movie... Well, three adult men (Gus, Clark, and Richie) who never got to play baseball (because of bullies) are now playing against their bullies' children. They do it for the prize of a new stadium. With their friend Mel (a billionaire) to help, they get the stadium. However, on the eve of their biggest game yet, one of the Benchwarmer's has a secret past revealed on the news. He confronts the boy he tortured as a child, and the next day, the last game of the season is about to be played, when Marcus, the boy who was tortured, shows up and changes everyone's way of thinking. Except, of course, evil "Fairy Jerry" (nicknamed by Gus), whose son (Kyle) is part of the team the Benchwarmers are playing against. When the game is almost over, Kyle decides it's time for Nelson (Mel's son) to get a home run. His team follows along, and Nelson gets the home run. The adult Benchwarmers hang "Fairy Jerry" by his underwear on a fence, giving him the revenge he deserved.  A good movie, though not the best. I'd say...
 
3.5 stars.

Book Reviews

M or F? by Lisa Papademetriou and Chris Tebbetts

A great book, told from the points of two best friends: straight-Frannie and gay-Marcus. Frannie starts hanging out her newest crush and Marcus is helping. But soon things get really crazy and out of hand... and finally leads to a hectic ending in the last three chapters - especially chapter fifteen!
