Let me start this review by saying Will Ferrell is a funny motherfucker. He single-handedly made “Saturday Night Live” funny again and all the recent movies he’s been in (“Elf,” “Old School,” “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy”) were funny as hell. So I knew to expect similar from Kicking & Screaming. Will Ferrell plays…
DON’T PANIC. Every fan of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” trilogy (actually five books) was overheard repeating the words, “Don’t Panic.” Even I wondered aloud if the the big screen could even remotely capture the essence of the written material.

I like animation. Every Saturday I watch my morning cartoons (on the WB of all places!) Late at night I watch Cartoon Network to watch the crazy-ass anime imports. I am a true believer that watching this shit will keep you young at heart. Based on this I looked forward to watching the latest Hollywood…
Last night, the wife and I sat down expecting to get a good scare before going to bed. She had her popcorn. I had high hopes. Although, I wasn’t a huge fan of the first movie (it reminded me of the shitty scarefest “FearDotCom”), I figured The Ring Two would be better. After all, Hollywood…
