"Loaded Weapon 1 I guess the full title of this film is National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1. I could never really figure out what the connection was between the different films with the "National Lampoon's" prefix was, but I just looked it up and realized it's just the name of a production company. You know that the films are always comedies, and probably could have the descriptions of "zany", "crude", or "base" attached to them. Most people will think of Animal House or the Vacation movies (written by the recently departed John Hughes). Although I just found out the first ever National Lampoon's film was titled National Lampoon's Disco Beaver from Outer Space. But "

"Undercover Los Angeles Police Officer "Sergeant Martin Riggs" is too close to taking his life over the death of his wife, who was killed in a car bombing meant for him. And just as he is about to pull the trigger to end it all, something enters his head and makes him put the gun down. He is quite unstable, and nobody wants to be his partner. On the other hand, "Sgt. Roger Murtaugh" (Danny Glover), who works in Homicide, is stable, with a wonderful family. He has turned 50, and wants to make it to his retirement. To his surprise, he is given a new partner, a partner nobody wants to work with -- "Riggs." An old buddy of "Murtaugh" wants him to kill those responsible for giving his daughter the drugs that pushed her into jumping off a high-rise. These bad guys are lead by "General Peter McAllister" (Mitch Ryan) and "Mr. Joshua" (Gary Busey), both of whom has Special Forces military training. The same type of training that "Riggs" has while he was in the military. One thing that really ... "

"I saw Christmas decorations in a storefront Sunday, so I guess it’s already time to break out the holiday movies. And it’s evidently time for distributors to release holiday fare to theaters, even if Desplechin’s A Christmas Tale (Un conte de Noël), which hits theaters this Friday, isn’t exactly the latest crowd-pleasing installment of the Santa Clause franchise. In fact, with such ingredients as estrangement, mental illness, alcoholism and cancer, it doesn’t seem like a very happy holidays kind of film. Even if it is actually a comedy. But then how many holiday movies are completely void of depressing themes and scenes? I’m sure to have grown up thinking more about the homeless, suicide and family dysfunction from films set at Christmas and Thanksgiving than I did thinking about the happiness that comes with these holidays. One of the most tearjerking moments for me as a kid was certainly seeing Mickey Mouse crying over his dead son in

"Kind of follows the buddy movie formula…cops…one black, one white…an implied generation gap…very different family lives…one is crazy, one is stable. But the reason formula movies become a formula in the first place is because it is successful. This movie does it better than any of them. Another Christmas movie in the loosest sense, and with the additional benefit of Gary Busey as the bad guy. "
