As we enter into 2004, it is starting to look more and more like the year of the "Stiller". Comedic talent Ben Stiller has 5 films opening in the next 12 months. His first in that quintuplet is the new romantic comedy Along Came Polly that co-stars Jennifer Aniston and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
Reuben Feffer (Stiller) has had to endure a lot of stress recently in his life.

It's funny how things work out sometimes. In October of 2002, I crossed paths with singer/songwriter Ben Lee at a sound check party for a Vanessa Carlton concert that I won tickets to from a local radio station.

2003, the year in film, is quickly coming to a close. It seems like just yesterday I was sitting down in a theatre to see the first theatrical release of the year. The weeks and months that followed exposed me to both the extreme highs and lows of the motion picture industry, as I saw things that shouldn't have been made and films I wondered what took them so long to be made. What would happen if you lost everything? Your life changing and dying with the crackle of one solitary phone-call. Who would you become? What if you could take back one event in your life where you lost everything? It being so simple but yet unforgettable. The maniacal mind of director Quentin Tarantino has always been fixated with the world of samurai and kung-fu action genre films. The director has embraced a lot of films in the vein of those old subtitled Bruce Lee movies we all loved in the 1970s. Jerry (Jason Biggs) is a guy afraid of being alone. He just wants the perfect girl and the perfect writing gig. But as all writers know, happily ever after only exists in fairy tales. Jerry's latest girlfriend Amanda (Christina Ricci) is a beautiful actress who has her fair share of hang ups and ambiguous emotions. 2001's American Pie 2 was some what of a disappointment to a lot of die-hard fans of the 1999 original film. There were a lot of awkward moments, useless cameos, and returning regulars who had little purpose of being there. Placing that aside, the second film did have the classic superglue scene and the Stifler/lesbians scene. American Wedding, the third and possibly final installment of the American Pie series, is just as raunchy and even more hilarious than its two predecessors. 2003 has seen its fair share of horror movies, and so far it's been a pretty weak year. House of 1000 Corpses was frightening and sickening at the same time, Darkness Falls was a joke, and while Wrong Turn had its moments, overall it was pretty unscary. < Previous • Next >Search SBM Archives |
