SYLVIA: Were you looking for another Adam Sandler flick? The kind where a sympathetic character has a ridiculously bad idea that ends up helping, then hurting, then helping him again? Well, good because that is exactly what Just Go With It is. You'll laugh at the silliness and groan at the inevitable struggles. The ending will warm your heart, while the gratuitous boobage will warm the rest of you.
Note: There is no Hawaiian who would attempt to trade two chickens for a car--let me clarify, no sober, meth-free Hawaiian who would attempt to trade two chickens for a car. The handful of scenes that featured "locals" were...offensive. Coming from me that says a lot...
Ignoring the offensive scenes? This movie is a buttery, sweet Popcorn Combo. Do you agree?
Prince of Persia
Available Now On Starz Play on Demand and Netflix
SYLVIA: Well, I liked it...Prince of Persia was a great action-adventure in the tradition of the Mummy and Pirates of the Caribbean. The effects and action were gasp-worthy, the heroine foxy and the bad guy admirably sane. The script and acting are a bit lacking at times, but the tempo and smoothly unfurled story are sure to keep you interested throughout. In the movie for less than 10 minutes total, Ronald Pickup stole the show. He plays the wise and well-watered King Sharaman. Look out for his performance.
Overall, I rate it a Hot Dog combo, four stars, 1 thumb firmly up. It's sure to make it into my permanent DVD collection. What did you think, Paul?

a/k/a Tommy Chong
Tommy Chong went to jail for selling marijuana paraphernalia online.Go figure....
This is a great documentary about Chong's trial and incarceration. There are some surprisingly lucid moments throughout the film. You'll find yourself nodding and wondering why you don't smoke pot...or smoke pot more as the case were.
I rate it a HOT DOG COMBO. So go watch it....man.

Two Summaries Of Clash Of The Titans
Hades rises from the sea to smote a bunch of unbelievers. Misremembering his instructions from Zeus, Hades smashes a small fishing vessel killing everyone except the fisherman’s adopted son, the demi-god Perseus. The survivors of the massacre, Perseus and some soldiers, head to Argos, a god-hating town, to report the incident. Hades makes a speech after which Perseus sets off to avenge the death of his family. There are scorpions, a cuckolded mutant, Medusa and some sort of colossal crustacean. All of the trained soldiers die, while Perseus survives to make it back to Argos where he reunites with his father and is given a zombie wife.
Perseus, the son of Zeus and some chick, is raised to be a god-fearing man by a fisherman and his wife. Ironically, His family is immediately dispatched by a god who rises from the sea. Poseidon? No, Hades. What? Just go with it. Shortly after this tragedy, Perseus, is transported to Argos, a god-hating town, where he falls in love with the boobs attached to Princess Andromeda. Hades makes a speech after which Perseus sets off to avenge the death of his family. There are scorpions, a cuckolded mutant, Medusa and some sort of colossal crustacean. All of the trained soldiers die, while Perseus survives to make it back to Argos where he reunites with his father and is given a fresh pair of boobs attached to some sort of immortal woman.
