DVD Reviews of Scary Movie

DVD Review: I'm Gail Hailstorm, author of "You're Dead, I'm Rich".
Summary: 5 Stars

A young teenage girl named Drew Decker (Carmen Electra) is alone in her mansion when she receives a phone call. The caller wants to know her better, but she doesn't give in. The caller reveals he is looking at her. Scared, she grabs a baseball bat and answers the front door (thinking it is the prank caller) and attacks the trick-or-treaters. As soon as Drew went inside the house, the caller appears, revealing himself as the murderer Ghostface. Ghostface chases her onto the patio of the house, where he rips her clothes off, which leaves her only clothed with white bra and thong. She runs into the sprinklers in her bikini, the killer catches up with her and stabs her in the breast and pulls out an implant. She went alongside the road and sights her father, only to be run over by him. She is then murdered.

Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris) is on her computer when her boyfriend Bobby Prinze (Jon Abrahams) appears in the window. Bobby is upset because his relationship with Cindy "isn't going anywhere" (i.e., they have not slept together). Even though he expresses this to her, she refuses his intentions and he left Cindy's house.

The next day in school, Cindy meets with Bobby and the rest of her friends, Brenda Meeks (Regina Hall), Greg Phillipe (Lochlyn Munro), Ray Wilkins (Shawn Wayans), and Buffy Gilmore (Shannon Elizabeth). At the school, news teams are trying to interview the police and students who knew the girl who was murdered the night before (her name is identified as Drew Decker). The most prominent among the reporters is Gail Hailstorm (Cheri Oteri), author of the recently released book You're Dead, I'm Rich. Cindy points out to the others that Drew's murder happened exactly one year after they accidentally killed a man during a night of drunk driving, and dumped his body off a pier. Greg swears the group to a pact that they will never reveal what happened that night, and becomes physically abusive to Cindy when she exhibits reluctance.

One class, Cindy receives a note from someone telling her that he knew about the incident with the man they killed. The first appearance of Ghostface to Cindy.

After football practice, Ray and Greg are in the locker room with a bunch of other guys, and when Ray and everyone else leaves Greg for the showers ("Don't let Uncle Ray catch you!"), the latter goes off to the punchbag. After he finishes and take a shower, he finds a note tucked in the door of his locker showing a picture of his small penis. Enraged, he goes to Cindy and the others and tells them about the note, and is ridiculed for it.

Buffy, competing in a beauty pageant, does a dramatic acting piece during the talent portion. During her reading, Greg is murdered by the killer in the balcony. Seeing this, Buffy attempts to warn everyone, but her desperate pleas are taken by the audience and judges as an exceptional acting performance and Buffy stops caring about Greg when she won.

That night, Cindy is attacked by the killer, but she calls the cops and the killer escapes. Bobby shows up with the same gloves and knife as the killer, and is arrested. Cindy goes to stay with Buffy that night but receives a call from the real killer, which results in Bobby's release. Bobby and Cindy later bump into each other at school, but their reconciliation is awkward, stemming in part from Cindy not getting over Ginger Spice leaving the Spice Girls.

The killer confronts Buffy in the girls' locker rooms. Making a sarcastic, metafictional observation about horror movies clich?s, Buffy mocks the killer, even as he stabs her, and continues to do so even after he decapitates her. In order to get her to really shut up, he throws her head in the lost and found bucket.

Ray and Brenda go to the movies to watch Shakespeare in Love. Ray, while in a bathroom stall, peeps in on another occupant, and is impaled through the head with a penis. The killer then attempts to kill Brenda in the auditorium, but because of her discourteous behavior, the other patrons kill her before he has a chance.

During a party at her house, Cindy has sex with Bobby. At the same time, the killer shows up at Shorty's house to kill him and his friends, but gets high on marijuana with them instead. When they are rapping with each other, the killer raps and kills everyone at the same time except for Shorty, who was beside him all the time. Shorty congratulates the killer for the rap.

At Cindy's house, the killer shows up and apparently stabs Bobby. As Cindy attempts to attend to Bobby's wound, Bobby shoots Shorty in the left lung, causing marijuana smoke to exude. He reveals that the blood from his "wound" is ketchup, as he was never stabbed at all. Ray appears, very much alive, and reveals that he and Bobby are copying the serial killer. When Cindy asks for a motive, Bobby points out that they don't need one, because horror movies like Scream do not boast logically coherent elements like plot or motive. Bobby also sarcastically suggests that it was lack of sex that drove him to do this, and reveals that he and Ray are gay lovers who will start a new life once they kill Cindy, a crime they will get away with because they are merely copycatting a real serial killer who actually exists. To conceal their guilt, they decide to stab one another in order so that the authorities will believe them to be victims of the real killer. As Ray stabs Bobby, Cindy yells "You guys are psychos! You've seen one too many TV shows!", only to have Ray respond angrily "Watching television shows doesn't create psycho killers - canceling TV shows does! The Wayans Brothers was a good show - and we didn't even get a final episode!" (thus breaking character, since the actor playing Ray is Shawn Wayans). However, the real killer appears shortly afterwards, stabbing Ray to death.

The killer then attacks Cindy, but after she repels him, he escapes. The police show up and take Cindy to the police station, where they find out that Buffy's brother Doofy (Dave Sheridan) was actually faking his mental retardation and is the real killer, and is in cahoots with Gail Hailstorm. After Doofy and Gail escape, the sheriff and Cindy find Doofy's disguise in the street and as Cindy cries out in the street over this discovery, she is run over by a passing car.

During the end credits, two scenes are shown:

~Shorty talking to the audience about his plans to rob a supermarket.

~Doofy breaking up with his vacuum and making out with it

DVD Review: GREAT PARODY!
Summary: 5 Stars

A really good parody! I found thuis movie quite funny! I think it was a great movie. I think it is super funny. I think it is a greatm Spoof of I Know What You Did Last Summer & Scream very funny! :)

DVD Review: Scary Movie is a Sardonically Hilarious Movie
Summary: 4 Stars

Scary Movie gives off a funny vibe that I think made me smile throughout the movie. You see, I'm the sort of person who loves dark humor, hence the Scary Movies. I appreciate how Scary Movie tries to make something serious a lighter subject, even though sporadically it's not that funny. Although some might not like this movie, I enjoyed it and it embellished things that you DON'T want to do or say. I loved Scary Movie and I would recommend it to anyone who loves physical and dark movies that are funny.

DVD Review: Disgusting
Summary: 1 Stars

It's bad enough that comedies today, whether on TV or in the movies, rely so heavily on sexual humor (a sign IMO that the writer's cannot come up with anything legitimately funny). This, however, goes far beyond sex jokes into the pronographic.

DVD Review: Just Not Funny Anymore
Summary: 3 Stars

Scary Movie
This movie started the idea of making parody movies. Honestly, most parody movies are horrible with a few laughs in them. It's like they are trying to hard. Scary Movie is one of the few movies that proved well done in the genre.

A serial killer who is dressed exactly like the murderer from Scream kills a woman named Drew. The police are interviewing students to try and figure out what they can. Cindy, your main character, suddenly gets messages from the killer; this is a parody of I Know What You Did Last Summer. Cindy and a group of friends actually killed a man and threw him in a lake exactly like I Know What You Did Last Summer. The entire story is a combination of the two previous movies, with a ton of humor thrown in the mix. The outcome is a pretty good.

The problem with the movie is that it gets old fast. After a watch or two, you won't have any plans to watch it again. Most of the comedy is stupid in a way that loses it's touch after awhile. The first watch will have you laughing your head off; a couple watches later will have you wishing you had your money back.

This movie would also be the spawn of many horrible parody movies. This includes Date Movie, Epic Movie, and others. I'm not taking off points for this, but I just thought it should be said.

Description of Scary Movie

This hilarious, must-see comedy smash places Carmen Electra (TV's BATTLEBOTS), Marlon Wayans (SENSELESS), Jon Abrahams (BOILER ROOM, THE FACULTY), and some of today's hottest young stars in a wickedly funny send-up of today's most popular horror movies! A familiar-looking group of teenagers find themselves being stalked by a more-than-vaguely recognizable masked killer! As the victims begin to pile up and the laughs pile on, none of your favorite scary movies escape the razor-sharp satire of this outrageously funny parody! With Shannon Elizabeth, Shawn Wayans, and Cheri Oteri adding sidesplitting performances, there's nothing to fear in this scary movie ... unless you're afraid of laughing too much.

If you've seen Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, then you know the entire plot of Scary Movie. That's okay, though, because this is a parody, and it helps to know the story in order to be able to get the jokes. No, the biggest surprise here is not the story as much as the amount of full-frontal male nudity. Really, in addition to all the dick jokes (and the ass jokes and fart jokes), there's a couple of shots of the male member, one of which is erect and used as a weapon. Scary Movie somehow ended up with an R rating, which in a sense is groundbreaking; perhaps our ratings board is loosening up after all.

But is it funny? That's the most important question, and the answer to that is yes. In the vein of Airplane!, with a dash of the Farrelly brothers, Scary Movie keeps throwing jokes at you one after another. The law of averages says some of them have to hit, and enough of them do to keep the movie entertaining. Unlike the makers of Airplane!, however, the Wayans brothers aren't making this movie out of a love of the genre, and unlike the Farrelly brothers, they don't make fun of retarded people with any sort of respect, so the humor throughout feels a lot uglier. Still, there are enough funny scenes in Scary Movie to make the viewing experience worthwhile. Special credit must go to Lochlyn Munro as Greg, the over-the-top jock, who steals the movie up until the time he's gotta die.--Andy Spletzer
