Quick Words From: The Dude on the Right
Neither Stu Gotz nor myself really liked "Balls of Fury," but even so we still pay homage to the movie by playing a little table tennis during our review. Stu's got a pretty good slam, while I can put some wicked spin on the ball. Is a movie about ping pong any fun? Ehh. There was potential and some of the rumor mills said the filmmaker folks (including some from the "Reno 911" TV show) caved to some of the suggestions from the movie studio folks. I'm guessing the filmmaker folks should have stuck to their guns. Good or bad, both Stu and I really did like Maggie Q, and would have liked her even more if the movie were rated R and she got naked.

Thanks for watching!

That's it for this one! I'm The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

Quick Words From: The Dude on the Right
I did a full-blown written review for "Blades of Glory," but that's not nearly as fun as me teaching Stu Gotz a lesson about how things should be for people skating on the ice. We both loved the movie, found it funny as hell, but Stu also thought he would be a total pain in the ass and give the movie 4 3/4 stars out of 5. Some days I just want to hit him with a stick.

Thanks for watching!

Quick Words From: The Dude on the Right
I have to admit that I was entertained more than I figured I would be by "Ghost Rider." Stu Gotz also was entertained, just slightly less than I was. Both of us liked the outfits Eva Mendes had on as Roxanne, and I even sing a couple of tributes, one to Roxanne and the other to Johnny Cash. Stu didn't like my singing, but he had his own salute to the movie, much to my dismay. If you want, skip my synopsis (duh, the movie's about a dude who sells his soul to the Devil) and get right to Stu's salute, about 3/4 of the way in. Sadly, for me, he brought his own fire extinguisher.

Quick Words From: The Dude on the Right
I guess Stu is pretty much pissed at me and thinks I suck as a reviewer, and it's left up to me to tell you about "Jackass Number Two." Me, I also loved the movie so much that I decided to try and recreate one of the stunts. Stu thinks I should leave the stunts to the "Jackass" professionals, but I'm pretty sure I can pull it off! I did write a text review, for what it's worth. If you want to read it, here's the link.

Quick Words From: The Dude on the Right
Samuel L. Jackson told both me and Stu Gotz, on our cell phones, that we needed to go and see "Snakes on a Plane." He didn't really need to do this because Stu and I were already on board, but we went to see it even with his pestering.

Stu thought it would be fun to bring a snake along when we "filmed" our review, little did I know there was such a thing as a "turd snake," at least that's what Stu's snake looked like.

We both have our takes on the movie, and contrary to most other reviews, Stu found the acting pretty good. Me, I liked the gratuitous nudity and the wacky ways snakes killed people. Maybe not a huge flick at the box office, but there are more beer-drinking games in this movie for the college kids than I can even fathom.

Episode 5: Mission: Impossible III

stuandthedude@entertainmentavenue.com (The Dude on the Right & Stu Gotz) — Sun, 07 May 2006 18:10:29 -0600

By: The Dude on the Right
Tom Cruise is back as Ethan Hunt in the action-packed "Mission: Impossible III." But there is a dilemma for "South Park" fans, of which Stu and I are, especially those believing the internet rumor that Mr. Cruise had the "In The Closet" episode pulled from "Comedy Central." Cruise's folks, as well as the "Comedy Central," folks denied this, but the "South Park" fans called for a boycott of all things Tom Cruise. And that meant boycotting "M: i: III."

Anyway, for this episode, Stu and I do some Tom Cruise movie role reminiscing, and we originally agreed to boycott the movie. Me, though, I give the movie 3 stars out of 5.

Episode 4: Scary Movie 4

stuandthedude@entertainmentavenue.com (The Dude on the Right & Stu Gotz) — Mon, 24 Apr 2006 20:43:34 -0600

By: The Dude on the Right
Well, it seems we didn’t qualify for the "Howard Stern Film Festival" with our last creation, a "Stu & The Dude" reviewin’ "Private Parts." Oh well, but I did learn some new animation lessons from sending that in, some of which are incorporated into our "Scary Movie 4" review. Some others, well, I guess I didn’t pay enough attention, hence some of the weird framing and lettering. I guess, "Oh well" again.

In any case, I liked "Scary Movie 4" more than Stu did, but I admit something to Stu that maybe I shouldn’t have. Stu gave the movie 2 ½ stars out of 5, I gave it 3 ½ stars, but Stu just didn’t understand my happiness.

Episode 3: Last Holiday

stuandthedude@entertainmentavenue.com (The Dude on the Right & Stu Gotz) — Wed, 29 Mar 2006 11:04:50 -0600

By: The Dude on the Right
Sure, "Last Holiday" is out of the theaters, but it comes out on DVD on May 2, 2006, so I suppose this is an early DVD review. In any case, it's our third installment of "Stu & The Dude Reviewin' the Movies for You!", and for this episode it's the Queen Latifah movie, "Last Holiday." Stu couldn't believe he actually liked the movie, so much so that he had to resort to something manly to get through the rest of the day. We've added some camera movements to the video podcast, so I would appreciate your input whether you like them or not.

Episode 2: Curious George

By: The Dude on the Right
I can't believe that we actually got a second episode done for "Stu & The Dude Reviewin' the Movies for You!", but here it is. This time "Curious George" comes under the chopping block, and I think the difference is that Stu has kids so he can relate, and I don't, so I don't even want to see this movie. Then, of course, there is Stu's appetite. If you've got kids, well, follow Stu's lead, just please don't follow his dietary plan before going to see the movie!

Our first episode: Underworld: Evolution

By: The Dude on the Right
Here it is, our first episode of "Stu and The Dude Reviewin' the Movies for You!" It's our reviews of "Underworld: Evolution" with Kate Beckinsale, and Stu thought it was a tad better than I did. Too bad for Stu. Stu's also got a potty-mouth at this time, so it's got some f-bombs and an s-word or two, so be careful if you watch it at work.
