"When I first saw the trailer for Wanted, I figured it was just another Matrix ripoff. And I’m sure there are many other people who thought the same thing. Of course, some Matrix ripoffs aren’t bad — I absolutely love Kurt Wimmer’s Equilibrium, for example — but most are. Even worse, though, are the parodies of the Matrix’s “bullet time” sequences. Do we really need to see another movie character bend over backwards to avoid a bullet (or milk)? Or another movie character suspended in motion while the camera tracks around him or her? It’s no wonder that until yesterday, I had pretty much dismissed Wanted, because of that Matrix-like bullet time sequence in which Morgan Freeman shoots around a slab of meat to hit an unseen target. Yet as of yesterday, the movie’s

"Remember the Cold War, when we were led to believe that Americans and Russians are so different from each other? Turns out that all that time we could have just made peace in a movie theater, watching spoofs like The Naked Gun and Airplane! together. Well, I guess the Russians could have only grown to love these kinds of comedies in the last 16 years, since the fall of the Soviet Union. But in any event, this trailer for the new film Hitler Kaput! shows that senses of humor are currently equal on both hemispheres. Even if our own latest parody, Superhero Movie, performed rather poorly at the box office over the weekend. Presently, there are no plans for Hitler Kaput! to be distributed in the U.S. (it opens in Russia on April 10), but were it not for the language barrier, it would easily be popular here. Seeming like a cross between the classic Zucker Bros. spy movie parody

"Scary Movie 4It's funny that very rarely to I ever even consider watching the sequel to a horror movie that I consider to be less than really great. In fact I usually don't seek out too many horror movies because I find most of the mediocre. It's funny then that I keep watching this series of fairly mediocre comedy movies that poke fun at those same very mediocre horror series.Actually I can't remember why I ever saw the first Scary Movie. I can't even remember if I saw it at a theater or on DVD. I know I have seen Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood and thought that was amusing (although I was wasted and had no idea what it was at the time) which was made by the same people.I think I found the original Scary Movie to be somewhat amusing, but knew the sequel looked horrible in the previews. Somehow my friend Tom convinced me to go see it with him. I think he even paid for my ticket because no one else would go with ... "

"Have you ever seen Murder By Death? I have. I watched it last night. It's a "dinner-and-a-murder" caper written by Neil Simon. Really, it's almost a spoof of capers, but that's a hard call to make because capers are spoofs of murder mysteries. Or homages. One of the two.Where's the distinction? Where does one cross the line between spoof and homage. Lemme go to the dictionary.My Dictionary tells me that homage (which can be pronounced "hom-ij" or "ohm-azh") is "respect or reverence paid or rendered" and that a spoof is "a mocking imitation of someone or something, usually light and good-humored; lampoon or parody." So the difference is respect?I beg to differ. A spoof can be respectful. Look at The Naked Gun: From the FIles of Police Squad. The Zuckers and Jim Abraham (ZAZ as they have been known to be called) are clearly poking fun at cop movie and TV shows (since Naked Gun started out as Police Squad, a thirty-minute television program that only lasted ...
