Quinn-5

An okay movie to watch if you need to kill some time, but overall it's too much rehashed sight gags and one-liners not only from Brooks' earlier (and better) films, but from other spoof-movies as well. "Robin Hood" is dull and annoyingly predictable even as silly films like this go. And that Richard Lewis...oy vey!! One interesting thing about this film though is Roger Rees, a great and seasoned stage actor playing broad comedy on the big-screen; it's a far cry from his role as the heartless English professor on "My So-Called Life". Nice score by Hummie Mann...

"Gettysburg" has to be one of the best movies ever made. The rich (and some might say unique) storytelling works wonderfully in the film. It may lack the profanity and lewdness that modern audiences are so used to these days, but it conveys the overall feel of the Gettysburg battlefield and of how the battle must have been like in a startling way that I don't think any other cast or crew could have done. EVERYONE should see this movie...

"Payne" is not "Faulty Towers", and it suffers because of the obvious comparison. While "Payne" may have its occasional moments of amusement, it is a sanitized, cliched and overall dimmer relative to the original British series, that sparkled so brightly with wit and comic timing. Let's face it, John Laroqette is no John Cleese. Not by a long shot...
