remember not to tell luke that his father is darth vader

Advantages: is very funny, actually adapts very well to the story line of the film, can be very entertaining
Disadvantages: is a bit overpriced at some places, not for those easily offended

...it is essentially an extended episode, and at the prices it is availiable at some stores like tesco, an utter rip off. this is definately also not for the children or easily offended, but definately worth purchasing at the right price for fans of both star wars and family guy ...

Review of Family Guy Presents Blue Harvest (DVD)

Friends, partnership and marriage

Advantages: Light-hearted look at being homosexual in today's society
Disadvantages: Not that funny, silly ending

...with the beautiful lawyer? I am not the biggest fan of Adam Sandler and his films; whereas none of them are totally unwatchable, a number of them are distinctly average and not worth more than a quick glance. However, in the mood for something light-hearted, and finding this DVD in Asda for just £2, I succumbed. As far as Sandler is concerned, this is a fairly standard role for him. As Chuck, he is perfectly likeable, despite some rather dubious ...
...the DVD was Kevin James. I really enjoy watching him on screen; I thought he was superb in King of Queens and Everybody Loves Raymond, and I've enjoyed him in Hitch and, more recently, Paul Blart. Like Sandler, he always tends to play the same role - a likeable loser who has very little luck with the ladies - and that is exactly what Larry is. I still enjoyed his performance though. There is a huge amount of humour surrounding the fact that he is ...

4 kids + 1 paralell world = an Epic Adventure

Advantages: Some very funny scenes, good entertainment, little foul language

Review of Epic Movie (DVD)

Really baaad sheep

Advantages: Funny, gory
Disadvantages: Ultimately not that memorable

...this New Zealand film called Black Sheep, I thought it was worth a try. And I'm glad I did - this is very much a black comedy with great lumps of horror thrown into the mix. However, it is not without its flaws. Obviously, because the actors are from New Zealand, I am not very familiar with any of them, and in any case, none of them really stood out. Nathan Meister plays Henry Oldfield, and he does a more than adequate job considering that he is ...
...his fear of sheep is well done, particularly when you see exactly what it is he has to face! He looks a bit like Matt Damon, but doesn't quite have Damon's pizzaz - not that that affects how he plays the role - I just don't think that I would recognise him in another role without it being pointed out that I had seen him here first. Still, he does the job, which ultimately is all that matters, even if some of his lines are delivered a bit woodenly. ...

Just Be Kind

Advantages: Shows the joy of filmmaking.
Disadvantages: A little sentimental in places.

...flow to what would otherwise be a generic montage. It is also symptomatic of the sense of fun inherent in Gondry’s filmmaking. There are other moments as we watch the “sweded” versions of the films, which show the memorable bits from a number of pictures. The films-within-a-film look as cheap as chips – shot on grainy, scratchy video with intentionally bad acting and continuity. But they show a great deal of invention in how they circumvent budgetary ...
...kind of bloke who would be hanging around an outmoded video shop. He’s also confident in the slapstick the role requires. Mos Def is one of few rappers-turned-actors who can actually act and he’s thoroughly likeable as Mike. He comes across as a genuinely nice guy with few ambitions but a great sense of loyalty. He’s a good straight-man to Black and brings an appealing naivety to the role. Melonie Diaz is sweet and smart as Alma, bridging the gap ...
