Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $1.90
This was one of the funniest action-mystery-buddy comedies which many film critics loved, but nobody else saw. A sharply humorous twist on those annoying (at times) action-mystery-buddy comedy cliches; it's well worth watching.

Buy new: $24.99 / Used from: $5.25
This was one of the coolest comic-book adaptations from the summer of 2008. Not much heavy drama and angst to be found here; just action, excitement and fun.

Buy new: $24.99 / Used from: $3.14
Unapologetically -- and cheerfully -- raunchy and politically incorrect (with something to offend just about everyone), this is one of the sharpest, in-your-face satires about movies and Hollywood since "Blazing Saddles".
The Incredible Hulk (Three-Disc Special Edition)The Incredible Hulk (Three-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $2.78
I liked this version of the Marvel comic-book hero much better than the 2003 film version, because it's not overloaded with angst. It's also an affectionate shout-out to the 1970's era cult TV series. A fun comic book movie.

Talk about an "awesome" comic book movie... this one definitely qualifies!

This is a very good action movie, even if the premise may seem a bit unusual; perfect to munch popcorn by.
Walk Hard - The Dewey Cox Story (Two-Disc Special Edition)Walk Hard - The Dewey Cox Story (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $2.35
This film is a satirical spoof of all of those musical "biopic" films. Tuneful fun, with lots of laughs, and an excellent cast.

Okay, I admit it ... this is one of the best films from the "Star Trek" movie series so far.
Fantastic Four - Extended Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)Fantastic Four - Extended Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $24.49 / Used from: $3.40
I liked this movie, primarily because it's a comic book movie that doesn't take itself too seriously and it doesn't weigh you down with a lot of excessive drama and angst.

Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $2.93
And who'd have thought the sequel to "Fantastic Four" would be even more fun? Well, it definitely is!
The 40-Year-Old Virgin (Unrated Widescreen Edition)The 40-Year-Old Virgin (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.24
Another one of my favorite comedies. Even though it may seem more like a "guy" film, it's actually sweet, charming, and gleefully raunchy.
Anchorman - The Legend Of Ron Burgundy (Unrated Widescreen Edition)Anchorman - The Legend Of Ron Burgundy (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $2.38
One of my favorite Will Ferrell movies. Hysterically funny and a rather fond look back at TV news in the 1970's.
To Live and Die in L.A. (Special Edition)To Live and Die in L.A. (Special Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.96
This crime drama still holds up some two decades later. Good script, good cast and an amazingly good musical score make this one work.

This prehistoric adventure film is a bit silly ... but that's what makes it so much fun. A good companion for a big bowl of popcorn.

The first R-rated film from M. Night Shyamalan, this ecological thriller isn't bad as I originally thought. Worth a look-see.
