| | Posted: | | | |  Blast from the PastStars:Brendan Fraser as Adam Alicia Silverstone as Eve Christopher Walken as Calvin Sissy Spacek as Helen Dave Foley as Troy Plot:Meet Adam Webber (Brendan Fraser, The Mummy, George of the Jungle), born and raised in a bomb shelter with his mad scientist father (Christopher Walken, Pulp Fiction) and his sherry swilling mother (Sissy Spacek, JFK). Adam's simple childhood has been filled with Perry Como records, The Honeymooners re-runs and good old-fashioned family values. Now, 35 years later, Adam is about to emerge into a bewildering modern world in search of supplies and a simple girl from Pasadena. Instead, Adam meets Eve (Alicia Silverstone, Clueless) a modern LA woman, jaded about life and burned by love. The result is "an engaging romantic comedy that's charming, funny and hip!" My Thoughts:Another one I enjoyed quite a bit. It is a lot of fun watching the character of Adam experiencing the world for the first time at 35. An interesting... and at times... funny story. I liked both Brendan Fraser and Alicia Silverstone in this one. I am not what you would consider a huge fan of Alicia Silverstone... but I really liked her in this movie. There was just something about her in it. She was spot on the character in this one. If you never checked out Blast from the Past... I definitely recommend it. My Rating: 4/5 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  The Wedding SingerStars:Adam Sandler as Robbie Drew Barrymore as Julia Christine Taylor as Holly Allen Covert as Sammy Matthew Glave as Glenn Plot:You are cordially invited to fall in love with one of the funniest romantic comedies of the year! It's 1985 and Robbie Hart (Adam Sandler, Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison) is the ultimate master of ceremonies... until he is left at the altar at his own wedding. Devastated, he becomes a newlywed's worst nightmare — an entertainer who can do nothing but destroy other people's weddings. It's not until he meets a warm-hearted waitress named Julia (Drew Barrymore, Scream), that he starts to pick up the pieces of his heart. The only problem is Julia's about to have a wedding of her own and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a lifetime, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever. From big hair to Billy Idol (as himself), The Wedding Singer features a hilarious cast and a platinum soundtrack including 80's hits from CULTURE CLUB, DAVID BOWIE and THE POLICE. My Thoughts:OK... what was I thinking watching this movie today? Not that this is a bad movie per say... because it definitely does have some laughs in it. And Drew Barrymore looked cute as can be in this one. But there is just way too much music for my taste in this one. Who would have guessed with a title like The Wedding Singer... right? So yes... that was a big damper for me. I did get a kick out of all the '80s references and style/memorabilia. I was a teen back then... so there was a lots of nostalgic qualities for me here.
