You’ve seen Scary Movie, Epic Movie, and Date Movie--you know what to expect: incessant, random parodies of blockbuster genre movies, half of which just aren’t relevant anymore--Is there really room for a spoof of Tim Burton’s Batman when the Christopher Nolan flicks are the rave? Superhero Movie takes its general plot (and lame parodies) from 2002’s Spider-Man, with a few nods to X-Men, Fantastic...

As if Heath Ledger's death and the inherent interest from rabid fans weren't enough to fan Batman mania for "The Dark Knight," the studio feeds the flames with a new DVD release of "Batman Begins" and the Blu-ray high-definition debut of the 2005 hit film.

David Zucker should really think about not including the word “movie” in the title of his next spoof film, because even though he’s partly responsible for the series that breathed new life into the genre, it’s just getting too difficult to separate the bad (“Scary Movie”) from the ugly (anything by Jason Friedberg and Aaron [...]

It’s an epidemic folks. Earlier in the week we saw the first trailer for Disaster Movie, written and directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, and not only did it shock people with how quickly they are rushing another one of these flicks out, but it left a lot of people wondering if this wave [...]

Scary Movie 4 (2006) Dir: David Zucker Cindy must deal with a cursed house and help her neighbour escape an alien invasion. Yet another inept sequel that throws in too many parodies and lame jokes. The story is a little bit more coherent than in previous efforts, but it wastes the opportunity for some very funny scenes. The effects are surprisingly decent and there's the odd good joke, it's still a...

Scary Movie 3 (2003) Dir: David Zucker A reporter investigates crop circles, killer video tapes and an impending alien invasion. A slight improvement on the second film, this is still a painfully unfunny movie that wastes some good ideas. The jokes are all over the place and there are unnecessary parodies of films like '8 Mile' and 'The Matrix' thrown in to fill the time. Even the likes of Charlie...
