New comedies Worth a look: watch full length

By Lauara Scudder

ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO: Rent is over due and Zack and Miri, roommates and good friends, really need to find an answer to their money problems. Their solution? Easy, make a dirty movie. Obviously this situation makes for a fun movie.

In 2008 Tinsel Town provided movie goers with three hundred plus movies. From this collection, something like 70, or so, are comedies. Let's name a few of the most popular laughers produced in 2008.

HAMLET 2: Dana Marshz, formerly a small time actor, now finds himself teaching theater classes at the high school to apathetic students. When a building is destroyed at the school, the powers to be feel the theater curriculum will be what is dropped. Fully inspired, he is determined to save the theater classes by producing Hamlet 2, a new version of the classic, which he put to paper himself.

FORGETTING SAHRAH MARSHALL: Overwhelmed with grief after a break up with his girlfriend Sarah, an actress in a cheesy sitcom, Peter decides to escape to a Hawaiian resort to get past the break up. Obviously, when he checks into the resort hotel, he runs into Sarah and her new lover, a rock star super stud. The stage is set for a classic romantic comedy.

GET SMART: Maxwell Smart (agent 86) is at it again, "and loving it". KAOS vs CONTROL, agents hidden in plants, and all the great one liners. This is a modern day version that looks back at the antics of Maxwell Smart.

PINEAPPLE EXPRESS: Complete stoner Dale has just seen a bad cop, and a big time dealer, commit a killing. He was spotted, and they know he has seen the killing. Sure that he has been spotted, he is so shaken he throws down his joint, a rare blend named pineapple express, and gets away fast. The pot is so unique, that the bad guys can track it. The chase is on, and Dale and his pot dealer friend Saul are on the run.

ROLE MODELS: Danny (Paul Rudd) and Wheeler (William Scott), who promote an energy drink, are going to see some hard jail time after trashing the company truck. The option to get out of serving jail time is to work in community service for 150 hours. The problem is they will need to mentor some kids as sort of a big brother. This is a good situation that provides some good laughs.

MADAGASCAR: ESCAPE 2 AFRICA: As you might imagine, this is the next in the sequence to the box office hit Madagascar. Our four animal stars are trying to get back to the zoo in New York, from their first adventure. As opposed to going home, due to the Penguins, they will wind up going to have more adventures first.

TROPIC THUNDER: Filled with great actors the genre of the film is a classic parody of popular war films. To recover from a lost cause, and to get his spoiled actors to see the movie be a success, the seemingly bold director into the wild, leaving them to fend for themselves. He hopes to overwhelm them into producing a war classic, which hidden cameras will capture. Incredibly, because the director walks over a land mine and is blown apart, the crew is left on its own, and they are convinced everything is just an act, when things start to get very real. A Great cast with incredible make-up for Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise.

STEP BROTHERS: When two 40 year olds, who both live at home with one parent, find themselves having to live in the same bedroom because their mom and dad get married, you have one crazy situation. Having the combination of Reilly and Ferrell as the key players, and this seems to be a great recipe for a funny movie. This comedy looks like a must see for comedy lovers.

All of these movies, and virtually any other movie ever made, are accessible for purchase, rent, or even download right onto your computer. Acquiring movie down loads from the internet is now one of the most popular ways for acquiring movies. Check the internet for sites to get free downloads. This is a great way to build a desirable collection of movies. - 15615
