Men in Black 2 (2002)
Not nearly as good as the first, but still holding a little charm if you're invested in the characters. Quirky (and annoying) appearances by Knoxville and Torn.
Men in Black (1997)
A sci–fi comedy like no other, with unlikely pair Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones teaming up to take down misbehaving aliens who hide in our society. Some imaginative weapons and special effects round out the experience.
Wild Wild West (1999)
This is not quite Men in Black, but Smith is still funny and slick in his role as Captain James West, Hayek is hot, and there are some interesting sci–fi/tech elements added in to the old western world.
How High (2002)- Trying to cash in on their rap fame, Meth and Red are here just as Cheech and Chong were many many years ago – but never quite manage to be as genuinely funny. Starts out okay but soon takes a turn for the worst...
Terminal, The (2004)- Loosely based on a true story, this is a touching and funny comedy set entirely in an airport terminal. Hanks is great and warming as Viktor, the poor but well–intentioned soul stuck in the terminal.
Redemption (2004)- A good TV drama that at times feels more like a documentary film about Tookie and his rise as Crip hero and fall as convicted murderer.
Aeon Flux (2005)- An okay post–matrix era sci–fi film, with Theron in spandex, a big brother government gone too far, and some interesting visuals that always feel a little too plastic and surreal to be believable.
Stand by Me (1986)- One of my favourite family films, this is a real 80s classic about friendship and growing up. Funny, sweet, touching, and thoroughly memorable.
Cheech and Chong - Still Smokin (1983)- Not as good as the first, and still taking it just a little too far to be funny without smoking everything that they have been.
Escape from New York (1981)
One of the all–time best sci–fi films, with a similar feel to Blade Runner: dark comedy elements, a gritty and strange world falling apart, and tough guy Kurt Russell.
