Movie (practical jokes) reviews for 17 Again
By Mr D Stevens
This is a charming fantasy with friends star Matthew Perry, and Zac Efron of High school musical, interchangeably as Mike O’Donnell in the lead roles.
It is a little similar to Big starring Tom Hanks.
We meet Mike 20 years ago about to be signed up to college basketball, but he finds out some news that meant he had to make a choice between his girlfriend Scarlett or his professional dreams.
We fast forward to the present and Mike is a little disappointed in the way his life has turned, as he and his wife Scarlett played by the lovely Leslie Mann (The 40 year old virgin) are facing a divorce, and all Mike can do is reminiscence on how his life could have turned out, in the meantime he crashes at the home of his best friend an extreme dork/geek Ned Gold played hilariously by Thomas Lennon (Reno 911).
Mike happens to bump into a mysterious old man as a janitor played by Brain Doyle-Murray (Bedazzled, looks a little like M.C. Gainey, Tom in Lost), who asks him what he would like to change in his life, he replies if he could go back to high school and do things differently, the Janitor asks him if he is sure, to which to reinforces his wish. Soon afterwards he sees the Janitor leap off a bridge and in the process of trying to save him, finds himself falling down the bridge into a portal, he wakes up in the home of his best friend but inside the body of himself when he was 17.
This is where the fun begins, as he sees this as a chance to be closer to his kids, because he enrols back in his high school, the same high school his kids now go to, Alex and Maggie played by Sterling Knight and Michelle Trachtenberg respectively, there is a funny sequence where he tries to encourage everyone in the class to abstain from sex apart from marriage, whilst not that far away the local troublemaker is kissing his daughter.
He also has to handle his soon to be ex, who finds he looks remarkbly similar to what Mike looked like in high school, when she first meets him as a 17 year old again, she can’t help pulling his face like a plasticine, much to the embarrassment of her friend, and Mike takes this chance at trying a reconciliation with his wife (on his older self’s behalf of course).
His best friend, Ned who now acts as his father also has fallen for the local school principal, Jane Masterson played by the lovely Melora Hardin (The Office), and he is using all his means to get her to at least agree on a date.
It is a charming fantasy, many will sure to reminiscence about their high school years.

Movie Reviews Sherman’s Way
By Mr D Stevens
This is a well made comedy drama for a journey of self discovery, focusing on a law student Sherman Black played by Michael Shulman who discovers a little about himself and life from a road trip with a two-time Olympian, Palmer played by James LeGros (Ally McBeal).
We meet Sherman with his girlfriend Marcy played by the lovely Lacey Chabert (she has grown quite a lot since the amazing child actress in Party of Five). Marcy has issues with Sherman for not taking charge and making his own decisions, it turns out every aspect of his life is being controlled by his powerful mother Evelyn, played by Donna Murphy (she still looks as ageless as she did with Patrick Stewart in Star Trek: Insurrection), she controls which law firm he chooses to do his internship, and is against him spending the summer with Marcy.
Sherman decides to go against the grain and prove to Marcy that he can make decisions for himself, and attempts to ignore his mother’s wishes by spending the summer with Marcy, without letting her know, he intends to just turn up at her door step, in the process he happens to bump into another fellow who helps him with his luggage, on both of them reaching Marcy’s front door, he is a little surprised to see Marcy kissing the guy, she eventually notices him and while he walks away in a rage, she follows him, but instead of apologising she says “this is what it seems” and tells him she is just trying to explore the different options life has in store for her.
In his anger Sherman decides to go back to the law internship his mother had arranged for him, and hails a driver to give him a lift, and Palmer arrives, fresh from an unfortunate performance at a car dealership, which he left with a classic vehicle nicknamed “The Rooster”, it turns out Palmer is estranged from his son, and would like to give him “The Rooster” as a graduation present, except his son graduated three years ago. After a short stop at a dinner, Sherman unfortunately finds out he has lost his wallet getting into Palmer’s car, and has no option but to phone his mother for financial assistance, however he takes this opportunity to stand his ground against her demands, and stays with Palmer to prove a point to himself that he can make his own decisions.
The two unlucky individuals find themselves paired together at the home of Palmer’s friend D.J., played by Enrico Colantoni (A.I.), and although they seem to be polar opposites; with Sherman intent on keeping a schedule, while Palmer on the other hand would rather take life as it comes, they end up learning from each other. While Palmer’s Rooster is being fixed Sherman does some shopping around the town for his supplies, and bumps into the lovely and odd Addy, played by Brooke Nevin (The 4400), they become friendly and Sherman asks her on a date, unfortunately he cannot drive, neither can he swim, and ends up having Palmer drive both of them around, where they end up in a lake, in a very comical scene.
It is a lovely romantic movie, many will enjoy.

Prank Video Anyone?
By Shane Fallas
How many times have you seriously thought about pulling a seriously funny prank on someone you know and having a hidden camera nearby to tape the action? If this is the case, you definitely are not alone at all; this is where many a really good Prank video has come from. There are so many people that really are practical jokers that seriously love pulling pranks on their friends and family and making the prank videos that many people seem to really love watching. You know, there really is nothing wrong with pulling pranks on people as long as you know where to draw the line between what is a prank and what is being downright mean-spirited.
Video sharing websites like are going to be watching to make sure that its users are not submitting any videos that it considers to be too steamy, too violent, or simply something that goes against what they will accept in terms of video submissions. If you think that a website that is designed to allow users to share videos with the rest of the world would have no problems with things that could potentially be considered too violent or simply unsuitable for everyone to watch without trouble you seriously need to think again about that matter. The same also holds true for those that are submitting a sexy video as has already been talked about before.
There is such a fine line that everyone in this big old world of ours needs to be able to walk so that we do not offend someone else without intending to. This also holds true for those that have the many video sharing websites that allow their user to add their videos to the website. You need to realize that there are so many videos floating around out there that are not exactly what others really like and that could really be considered offensive to everyone that watches them.
You know something, there is such a thing as a funny video that really takes pranking someone or poking fun at/of them to levels that would be considered to be in very poor taste or just downright offensive altogether to everyone. This is something that you will need to be aware of so that you do not fall into this same trap yourself.
It is fine if you want to do things that poke fun at someone you know or at yourself, but you need to remember that even these things can be taken too far or the wrong way by someone who does not know what you or the other person are thinking. This is something else that you will have to take into account when you are thinking of making a video like this and posting it online for the whole world to see.
You next question after reading all this might be how do I make a video that will not offend anyone who sees it or is it even possible to avoid offending anyone and everyone?Please visit http://www.vidbang.com and http://www.frickenfunnyvideos.com
