Jeff, Who Lives At Home is the other movie I’m turning my attention to today. It’s apparently a comedy. About a guy who lives at home, one would be punctilious in assuming. I’m sure whichever character doesn’t play Jeff is responsible for getting Jeff out of his shell and, in […]
The majority of my movie reviews are overwhelmingly negative. Many would attribute that to me being a pessimist: I believe it’s because most movies are garbage and should refer to themselves as “time machines that brought you 90 minutes closer to the grave without enriching your life in the slightest.” […]
I don’t like to talk about Eddie Murphy because I find it extremely depressing. Eddie Murphy was, unequivocally, one of the funniest people who has ever lived. Delirious and Raw are the two greatest stand-up specials ever recorded. Watch Trading Places, and I dare you to look me in the […]

I’m about to say something that will no doubt earn me heaps of derision and scorn, but I don’t care, because it has to be said: Rise of the Planet of the Apes is the most entertaining movie I’ve seen in the theater in years. Note that I called it […]
Continuing in the proud Papa’s Basement tradition of film reviews written well after opening weekend (rendering them useless to the majority of you), I present my take on a comedy I had high hopes for: Horrible Bosses. While the premise didn’t seem particularly inventive (three workers who are saddled with […]
The film Kick-Ass was released a little over a year ago. A tale of a comic-obsessed teen who decides to don a mask himself and fight crime, it sounds like something I would have loved to flush two hours of my life down the toilet with. Only I didn’t, my […]
