Madagascar *** (2005, voices of Ben Stiller, Jada Pinkett Smith, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer) – Classic Movie Review 1560
DreamWorks Animation’s likeable and appealing but very modest 2005 computer-animated comedy unsurprisingly had a mixed reviews but the public loved it and it was a surprise blockbuster box office hit, spawning two sequels so far. It was a very […]
Envy *** (2003, Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Christopher Walken) – Classic Movie Review 1553
Director Barry Levinson’s 2003 movie is a totally bonkers, and increasingly bizarre comedy with a top cast and decent script (by Steve Adams) to make it work. Ben Stiller stars as Tim Dingman, who gets consumed with […]

Gene Hackman won a Golden Globe as Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical for his high-energy, funny turn as Royal Tenenbaum, the grand daddy of a very odd, dysfunctional family. After years away, he returns […]
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty *** (2013, Ben Stiller, Kristen Wiig, Shirley MacLaine, Sean Penn, Adam Scott) – Movie Review
Ben Stiller directs, produces and stars in a pleasing but flawed, underachieving remake of the 1947 Danny Kaye film of James Thurber’s classic short story of a day-dreamer who escapes his dull, routine life as a Life […]
