These days, even silly spoofs are expected to meet a required level of maturity, and for those that were raised on Naked Gun, Hot Shots and Police Academy movies, that's a little sad. ![]() Times have changed, and unfortunately for the movie, so have tastes. Balls of Fury is a very funny movie with a wonderful cast (especially Christopher Walken and Thomas Lennon), and if some of the jokes fall flat, or gave themselves away in the trailer, the movie moves quickly enough that it doesn't matter. Why is it doing worse then? People just don't want silly, stupid comedies anymore, which is why Superbad is doing much better instead. I'm going to go on the record as saying that this movie is at least as funny as anything Adam Sandler or Will Ferrel has ever made. What are people whining about? Balls of Fury was quite funny! A few years ago, the people who are now trashing this movie would have been going gaga and adding a 100 million to its gross revenue.but that's part of the problem. ![]() Absolutely worth seeing on both DVD and cable. The rest of the cast including veteran James Hong and comedian George Lopez is up to snuff, though Maggie Q is given little to do other than look good. Christopher Walken on the other hand is a scream, and its clear why he took the role, he can go as far over the top as he wants and still be amusing. As I said he's good the role doesn't require him to do little more than mug at the camera and he's fine, but I doubt very much he'll be able to ever really do more than that. Dan Folger clearly is a man of limited ability,He's okay here but its clear between this and Good Luck Chuck he's headed for a limited film and TV career in supporting roles. Don't get me wrong its a funny movie but not worth the 11 bucks it would take to see in a theater. A spoof of films like Enter the Dragon and everyone of those spy films where the FBI or CIA use a regular Joe for a secret mission this is an amusing romp I'm glad I didn't pay big bucks to see on the big screen. The film concerns a Ping Pong Tournament run by madman Christopher Walken.

Two great names in American dessert, together at last.” ![]() It is immortalized here, right now, and it's an ice cream. Now, thanks to Ben & Jerry's, the goodness of the Schweddy family recipe won't go with me to the great beyond. In a Time press release, the actor had this to say about the new flavor: "For a long time, I thought that ‘Here Lies Pete Schweddy' would end up on my tombstone. Such irrestible innuendos and the name Schweddy Balls may be too saucy for some consumers, but Ben & Jerry's, like their fans and Alec Baldwin himself, have always had a good sense of humor. They balls were described by the deadpan radio hosts (played by Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon) as tender, glistening, and larger than expected, but the new flavor is "vanilla ice cream with a hint of rum & loaded with fudge covered rum & malt balls."Īlthough the ice cream is being produced in a limited batch, it will be returning upon further demand, and it's hard to imagine this product failing. ![]() In the sketch, Season's Eatings baker Pete Schweddy visits his local NPR station for a chat about some holiday treats: his famous Schweddy Balls. That's right, Alec Baldwin's most famous SNL character, from one of the most legendary sketches, was the inspiration behind the new flavor. Ben & Jerry's announced their newest flavor yesterday, and it won't be long until you can get your mouth around some Schweddy Balls.
