My Life in Ruins
My Life in Ruins is a romantic comedy film set amongst the ruins of ancient Greece, starring Nia Vardalos, Richard Dreyfuss, Alexis Georgoulis, Rachel Dratch, Harland Williams and British comedy actor and impressionist Alistair McGowan. The film is about a tour guide whose life takes a personal detour, while her group gets entangled in comic situations among the ruins, with a series of unexpected stops along the way.
Georgia (Nia Vardalos) is a Greek American tour guide who is leading a tour around Greece with an assorted group of misfit tourists who would rather buy a T-shirt than learn about history and culture. In a clash of personalities and cultures, everything seems to go wrong, until one day when older traveller Irv Gordon (Richard Dreyfuss), shows her how to have fun, and to take a good look at the last person she would ever expect to find love with: her Greek bus driver (Alexis Georgoulis).

Cast: Jack Black, Michael Cera, Olivia Wilde

Year One is a 2009 comedy film directed by Harold Ramis, and produced by Judd Apatow. The film stars Jack Black and Michael Cera, and features Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Hank Azaria. The film was released in North America on June 19, 2009 by Columbia Pictures. The film was originally rated R for some sexual content and language but now it’s rating is PG-13 for crude and sexual content throughout, brief strong language and comic violence. (source)
Several critics panned the film for being similar to Mel Brooks’s History of the World, Part I. Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave the film a “fair-good” review of 2.5/4 stars stating that “Year One won’t join his list of essential comedies, the ones Ramis helped create as writer, director, performer or combination thereof.” Claudia Puig of USA Today gave the film 2/4 stars complaining that the film “is scattershot and silly, squandering its potential by relying on juvenile bawdy humor”. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 1 star out of 4, stating that the film “is a dreary experience, and all the ending accomplishes is to bring it to a close”. Kyle Smith of the New York Post gave the film 1.5 stars out of 5 saying it was “mediocre at best.(source)
Imagine That (PG) Available on DVD This Week 10/6/2009

Imagine That
Imagine That is a 2009 comedy-drama film starring Eddie Murphy, Thomas Haden Church and Martin Sheen and Yara Shahidi. The film is co-production between Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies.

Imagine That takes place in Denver, Colorado, notable because of the skyline and landmarks. It centers on the relationship between a workaholic father and his daughter, whose imaginary world becomes the solution to her father’s success. Starring alongside Murphy is veteran actor Ronny Cox who last starred with Eddie Murphy in his blockbuster series, Beverly Hills Cop

Afterwards, Zed and Oh find that the girls they wanted to “lay with” (Maya and Eema) from their former tribe have been captured and are being sold into slavery. They try to buy the girls’ freedom, but Cain ends up selling Zed and Oh. While being taken to a village by the owner with all the other slaves from their tribe, Sodomites attack and take the slaves prisoner, though Zed and Oh escape and hide in the desert, watching the Sodomites.
The next morning, Zed and Oh discover that the Sodomites have left with the slaves. They head off to save the slaves. They come to a mountain and find Abraham (Hank Azaria) about to kill his son Isaac (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). Zed stops them, claiming that the Lord sent him to do so. Abraham takes them to his Hebrew village and tells them about the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Zed and Oh head off for Sodom after Abraham offers to circumcise them. As they arrive in Sodom, they are captured. Cain, now a Sodomite soldier, saves them from being tortured, calling them “his brothers.” The two recalled that they were sold by Cain as slaves and Cain apologizes and offers them food. While being given a tour of the city by Cain, Zed and Oh see the princess, who is starving herself because she feels guilty that everyone else in the city is starving. That night, at a party, Zed is invited by the princess to talk with her.
Inside the palace, Zed sees Maya and Eema serving as slaves, while Oh is forced to follow the very effeminate high priest around the palace. Zed meets the princess and she asks him to enter the Holy of Holies and tell her what it is like, thinking that Zed is the “Chosen One.” Inside the temple, Zed encounters Oh, who is hiding from the high priest. There, they get into a heated argument and are then imprisoned for going inside the temple. The two are sentenced to be stoned to death but Zed convinces the Sodomites to have mercy, so they are instead sentenced to hard labor until they die from work. The king then announces that he will be sacrificing his daughter and two virgins (Maya and Eema) as a gift to the gods.
Zed interrupts the ceremony, claiming he is the “Chosen One.” A riot starts and Oh saves Eema. The two have sexual intercourse inside the palace in order that Eema would not be sacrificed and then come out to help Zed fight the soldiers (including Cain). The crowd kills all the leaders and proclaim Zed as the Leader being the “Chosen One”. Zed turns this down and instead becomes an explorer with Maya. Oh becomes the leader of the village where the whole adventure started. The two say their goodbyes and head their separate ways.
