I Dont Need No Good advice, I'm Already Wasted

Advantages: It Ends, One Good Performance
Disadvantages: Unfresh Approach to film making, Throwaway plot, unfunny, Bad Other Peformances

...awful movie. There are two good performances, and one dire one, but I swear sometimes I was cringing. Charlie Sheen isn’t my favourite actor, but I do recognise that he has been in some funny films, and is obviously capable of putting in a good performance. But in this he does not put in a slightly good performance. It is defiantly strained, and he seems to have no connection with the character and certainly doesn’t make one with the audience. He ...
...is one of the two good performances in Good Advice. She plays the character down perfectly, mixing her already likeable persona with good doses of intelligence and wit. It is so funny to watch her in the same shot as Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards because she is just so much more talented, she is completely loose and seems refreshingly comfortable in front of the camera.

The wedding of the year 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding'

Advantages: Fun, nice story
Disadvantages: Predictable

I first watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding a few years ago and although it hasn't become one of my favourite films, I do still watch it from time to time. The film first came out in 2002 so has been around for quite a while now. The story of the film is based around a character called Toula Portokalos (Christina Eleusiniotis). Toula is from a greek family, who take the traditions of their culture very seriously. Her family own a resteraunt called 'Dancing ...
...her thirties and yet has never really done anything with her life. She is plain and no-one really notices her as she goes around her everyday life. One day Toula decides to do something about her life and signs up to a college course. It isn't easy for her to persuade her Father Gus (Michael Constantine), but her Mother Maria (Lainie Kazan) manages to help her. Once she has started the course she starts to feel more confident in herself and decides ...

Offender of the Universe

Advantages: sick slick rapid succession of one line jokes
Disadvantages: turns the air blue, plenty of bad language, not for the easily offended

Jimmy Carr is the Marmite of Comedy, you either love him or hate him, there’s not really much in between. On the UK comedy scene for the past 10 years, he has become more and more known over the past few years, in particular as host of comedy quiz ‘8 out of 10 cats’ and voice of many a Channel 4 ‘Top 100 shows’. Carr himself was voted number 12 in the ‘Top 100 Comedians’. Personally I love Jimmy Carr. Then again, I love a lot of the modern comedians, ...
...over the past decade. Jimmy Carr Telling Jokes is his latest DVD release. There are four previous releases of his stage show, all recorded at the Bloomsbury Theatre in London over time from 2005 until this year. One of Jimmy Carr’s previous DVDs opens with a warning: “This show is not for the easily offended, this is not even for those difficult to offend, this show is for people without moral compass.” Not only is this true for the DVD is was on, ...
