Based on the trailers, Mike Judge’s latest comedy looked really funny. While the movie has its moments and I’d probably watch this again, Extract still comes up short in the laughing department.

New Jersey native, Kevin Smith started out in the world of film making with a successful indie film Clerks, that became a cult classic, and has gone onto direct several bigger films to date. Smith always the outspoken writer-director, and never shy of controversy also released Chasing Amy, a unconventional love story between a heterosexual male and a lesbian. Finally rounding out the collection is Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, a very funny film featuring everyone’s favorite characters from the Kevin Smith films, the title characters. While not a true “box set” to the Kevin Smith collection, this set features some of the films from Miramax, yet to be released on Blu Ray.

The latest movie from Greg Mottola, the director of Superbad, gives off a Little Miss Sunshine feel. It’s got some funny moments, but I wouldn’t necessarily file this movie under comedy at the video store.

Starring Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Clive Owen and an all star cast, in which they help bring Frank Miller’s graphic novels to life on the big screen from Robert Rodriguez, a guest spot by Quentin Tarantino and the creator himself, Frank Miller directing the film. Paving the way for other live action CGI films like 300, and The Spirit, Sin City was about as perfect as you can get to visually seeing a comic book come to life on the big screen.
