In this World War II-set spaghetti western, staring Brad Pitt and Oscar-winner Christoph Waltz, a Jewish cinema owner (Melanie Laurent) in Paris is forced to hold a movie premiere, where Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) and his posse, "the Basterds" plan a score-settling scheme. -that's if Colonel Hans Landa aka "The Jew Hunter" doesn't interfer. i was deeply disapointed in this film, the only really laugh-out-loud, funny section is the last twenty minutes of the movie. good acting and good story, it's just not a good comedy. **(two stars).

The Man, staring Samuel L. Jackson and Eugene Levi, is about a tough-as-nails ATF agent who is being investigated by  Internal Affairs in Detroit. After a dental supply salesman (Levi) is caught in the middle of a set-up with international gunrunners, the investigation receives a third wheel. this movie is funny and has a very good plot. ***(three stars).

John Candy and Dan Ackroyd team up in this family movie and loads it up with laughs. Chet Ripply (John Candy) packs his family of two teenaged boys, Buck and Benny along with his wife, Connie, and heads to a lakeside resort. Little does Chet know about the arrival of his brother-in-law, Roman (Ackroyd), his sexually repressed wife and their eerie twin daughters, Cara and Mara. Soon, it's brother-in-law versus brother-in-law in a hilarious battle to see which one truely knows how to enjoy the great outdoors. In the movie, the director and writer felt compelled to plant a love story in the midst of all the laughs, which made the movie less enjoyable, forcing me to take points away. **(two stars).
