Review: THAT'S MY BOY

Most people, including myself, can appreciate a dumb joke. Hell, every now and then they are even refreshing. But for Adam Sandler there is no such thing as too dumb a joke or too low an audience. By now I suspect that his movies are conceived by team drunken twelve year olds and afterwards typed by the laziest intern at Happy Maddison. Sandler’s movies are the lowest common denominator of humor; to which I’ll admit I laughed, though most of the time I didn’t feel good about myself afterwards. 

Review: YOU DON'T KNOW JACK

Jack Kevorkian wants you to die… on your own terms. The advertising campaign of this HBO TV film is just as provocative as the film itself. You Don’t Know Jack tries to shed some light on the complex story of Jack Kevorkian, a doctor who assisted in the suicide of 130 of his patients. Is this a medical or criminal practice? The religious right, and several opportunistic politicians, accuse Jack of the latter. But the film is more concerned with studying Jack’s character, over what type of man would back euthanasia so vehemently, than providing an answer to the question.
