"Lists of movies within movies are fairly common on the internet, enough that I now realize I need to finally see Bowfinger simply because I’ve counted about a million list makers in love with something titled “Chubby Rain.” And the lists are likely to keep on coming thanks to this week’s hot release, Tropic Thunder, which actually features two movies within (the Vietnam War film “Tropic Thunder” and the festival-winning making-of documentary “Rain of Madness”), as well as the upcoming How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, which has spawned a popular fake movie trailer for an NC-17 film titled “Mother Theresa: The Making of a Saint” (previewed above). Yet until someone makes "

"Since Mike Myers latest abomina... I mean, character, “The Love Guru,” is rather fond of acronyms for followers in his self-help dynasty, let me sum up his film accordingly. Those expecting even the slightest twinkle of comedy from “Wayne's World” or “Austin Powers” are in for a lot of “Crotch References and Agonizing Puns.” If you are a big fan of “Funnies from Anally Released Thunder” jokes or a focus on “Woefully Aggrandizing Narcissism Guffaws,” then “The Love Guru” is right down your darkened alley. In fact, anything below the belt is the go-to source of snickers for Myers here. With the subtlety of a toddler discovering his genitalia for the first time, Myers seems fixated south of the equator, offering more crotch-centric comedy in 90 minutes than Adam Sandler's entire résumé. Myers star as the eponymous self-help expert with aspirations on becoming America's next top spiritual ... "

"Richard Attenborough’s Gandhi (1982) begins with dedications to Motilal Kothari, the Indian man who approached Attenborough about making the film, Louis Mountbatten, the last British Viceroy of India, and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, and a disclaimer about the inability of any film to capture all of the people, moments, and events in a person’s life. The dedications expose both a key strength and critical weakness of the film—its status as an “official” or “authorized” text—while the disclaimer uncovers the challenge of any biographical picture: namely, how to distill a life into a feature length film, even one that runs for over three hours. The issue is not whether corners will be cut, but which ones and in what manner. Revisiting the film 25 years after its initial release and Oscar triumphs, Gandhi appears notable both for the ways in which it clearly crystallized the current form of the biopic, and ... "

"Alfred Hitchcock ("Family Plot") remakes his own film, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and it is quality. I haven't seen the earlier version, so I cannot compare. In this one, Jimmy Stewart ("The Big Sleep") gets mixed up in an assassination plot and his son gets kidnapped. So he and his wife, the blonde Doris Day ("With Six You Get Egg Roll"), end up taking things into their own hands. Very well shot, very suspenseful. Day sings "Que Sera Sera " alot. Not the greatest Hitchcock, but still very good. The Ruins is one of the better horror movies I've seen lately, and I'm not even that scared of plants. While on a trip to South America, a group of teens gets invited to visit an archeological dig. But once they reach the site, some natives trap them on a Mayan pyramid, and shoot anyone trying to leave. So there's that threat. Then the kids have to figure out why. Then there's tension and very gross painful things. Very enjoyable. Definitely, Maybe is probably (ha ha ) the worst romantic ... "
