    An absolute masterpiece by Ben Stiller.

    The Cable Guy is wall-to-wall hilarious. Carrey is incredible in his performance, particularly in his physicality. He's strong, crazy, smooth, and vulnerable at all times. But this is not just a great comedy, The Cable Guy is also a straight-up horror movie. Like Carrey, the film is unhinged - not at all timid to dive deep into dark areas. Being the only one with Broderick who understands the danger…

    Fell pretty flat for me. I like the attempt to play it out like a 40s noir film, but this script is so cynical and angry that when it gets mixed with dreary performances and production it's hard to get attached. Ultimately it feels like so much charisma is simply wasted.

    Sweet and charming, but Orange County isn't funny enough to be great. There are flashes, mostly from Jack Black and Harold Ramis, but the laughs are simply too infrequent. The music cues are too on the nose (although like the fashion, they are a mostly enjoyable time capsule). Lots of talent here, but it doesn't quite gel.

    Works as a spy film, action film, revenge film, and siege film. Does a good job at taking relatively small stakes (for a Bond film), and blowing them up on a grander scale. So easily digestible, this film is fun to watch, has the just the right amount of humor, and is the best looking Bond film ever.

    Charming and fun who-dunnit. The usual attention to detail, offbeat humor, and quirky Anderson style are all there. Mixed with interesting animation, period jumping, and aspect ratio tinkering, this is a great watch.
