: The Man with Two Brains

Author: George Gipe and Steve Martin

Director: Carl Reiner

One of my favorite Steve Martin movies. I was surprised none of my cousins had seen it — I guess it’s an Eighties movie. We laughed throughout, so either it was funny, or it was just because it was one in the morning. (My other Martin favorites are Roxanne and L.A. Story.)

: Galaxy Quest

Author: David Howard VI

Director: Dean Parisot

Silly movie that pokes fun at the Star Trek phenomena. The story’s basically that the cast of Star Trek-like TV show are taken by aliens to help fight against their enemy, not realizing the people are just actors. Well-done, with a few choice gags, but not especially memorable. Better than most one-joke premises.
