Half-Wits Holiday (1947)
The ending of this short...
This short is indeed, like all the shorts, a classic. I couldn't help but see at the end, after watching, Moe was noticeably not himself. I've read many times about the stroke that poor Curly suffered during the making of this, and you can see in Moe's delivery of his lines that this event's eating away at his heart. I can't imagine how he must have felt when just minutes earlier his brother was being rushed away to the nearby emergency room. Moe did say in an interview,despite his inner heartbreak and not knowing if Curly was alive or dead, that "The show still must go on". And being the professionals they were, Larry and Moe finished the short without Curly. The Three Stooges were without a doubt the most amazing and groundbreaking actor/comedians of all time. And just like the old saying goes, "People like this come once every thousand years". God Bless Them, and may They Rest in Peace.
Van Helsing (2004)
too much dumb comic relief
this movie would have been better if it was taken a little more seriously. why did Van Helsing have that stupid monk as his sidekick? the monk constantly made one-liners that were corny and adolescent. was there any purpose either in showing him the morning after he had sex with the woman from the village? come on, the writer could have come up with something a little more interesting for that scene. and why was Frankenstein's monster such a nice guy that always swung from a rope in every scene he was in? he should have been a ruthless, vicious killer that was one of Van Helsing's targets. other than that lots of great action with incredible CGI. but i only give it a WEAK 3 stars.
