Skwiddly Reviews The Hangover Blu-Ray

Ascully — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 23:51:21 +0000

“The Hangover is one of those films that you either really like, or you don’t get it and think is is just kind of “meh.” For me, this is up their as one of the better modern comedies, along with Old School and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The Hangover for me is just a clever, bizarre movie that is full of little things that make the experience just great….”

Skwiddly Reviews Confessions Of A Shopaholic Blu-Ray

Ascully — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 23:45:08 +0000

“Confessions of a Shopaholic is a quirky little movie, that many may say is too similar to other chick clicks, but for some reason I quite liked it. I will admit that part of the reason that I enjoyed the movie is mainly due to Isla Fisher, whose screen presence is just fresh and exciting. She seems to be able to overpower other actors just by appearing in the scene, and she is just a pleasure to watch.”

Ascully & Cidtalk Review Yes Man Blu-Ray

Ascully — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 05:10:35 +0000

“There is nothing mystical or fantasy about the story, well, that anyone can afford last minute airline tickets, that pretty fictional, but it’s all reality based with the standard comedy shtick tossed in for fun.”

Ascully & Cidtalk Review Happy Go Lucky

Ascully — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 08:27:04 +0000

“Poppy is the cheery giggle 30 year old who bubbles around daily life with a look of bewilderment on her face, happy face whatever comes around the next corner. Michael is the driving instructor who is her polar opposite. He is paranoid, hateful, cynical, miserable and looking for more misery around every corner. When Poppy and he are in the car together we get the distilled best and worst of each of their life philosophies…”

Ghost Town On DVD & Blu-Ray Disc 12/28/08

HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. – Ghost Town is a “hilarious romantic comedy” (Time) arriving on DVD and Blu-ray on December 28, 2008 from Paramount Home Entertainment. Emmy® winner Ricky Gervais (“The Office,” Stardust), Oscar® nominee Greg Kinnear (Little Miss Sunshine, Baby Mama) and Téa Leoni (Spanglish, Fun with Dick and Jane) star in this “clever, heartfelt and funny” (“Entertainment Tonight”) tale about a man, a woman and a ghost. The feel-good comedy of the season, Ghost Town is a perfect pick-me-up for the post holiday blues.

Ricky Gervais is Bertram Pincus, a New York City dentist with the people skills of a barracuda. When a routine surgery goes awry, Pincus is pronounced dead, but miraculously revived seven minutes later. The ill-mannered Manhattanite suffers only one lasting after-effect: the ability to see and speak with the dead. When word gets out in the spirit community, Pincus is irritated to discover he’s the go-to-guy for every phantom with unfinished business in the city. At the forefront of the ghostly mob is recently deceased Frank Herlihy (Greg Kinnear), who is determined to stop the remarriage of his widow, Gwen (Téa Leoni). The laughs unfold when the prickly and romantically inexperienced Pincus, smitten with Gwen, tries to woo her away from her betrothed—with hysterically awkward results.
