Talladega Nights DVD

Advantages: Very Funny, Sacha Baran Cohen was V funny
Disadvantages: None

I purchased this Blue Ray DVD from the internet. I have not heard of Blue Ray before but the disk worked fine when played. The film starred Will Ferrell (he appeared in Elf) as Ricky Bobby and Sasha Baron Cohen, (aka Borat and Ali G) as French Racing driver Jean. The plot The film starts with the birth of Ricky Bobby – in a fast car. Dad (Gary Cole) is drunk but a mad racer. He doesn’t appear in the early stages of Ricky Bobby’s life but when ...
...Ricky the only way to live is to be first (not last). Several years later Ricky Bobby works in a pit crew for the NASCAR (Indianapolis 500) races. He’s a plain chap and has a best friend Cal (John C. Reilly), they have been mates at school for years. The existing driver decides not to finish a race and Ricky takes over and comes third in the race. He then becomes the main driver and starts to win everything. He becomes NASCAR\\\'s most popular and ...

Review of Talladega Nights - The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby (Blu-Ray)

A Bit Of A Boob

Advantages: A bit of fun
Disadvantages: It's one for the boys

...the storyline is quite a good one but this film doesn't live up to potential, I feel there is so much more that could've been done to make it more entertaining. A lot of the laughs are mainly visual coming from Cam's accidents rather than the script but there are few funny lines in the movie. tYou may noticed that the cast list in this review is rather short, thats mainly beacuse there are so many bit part actors in this film, I've only mentioned ...
...of the film while Cam refuses to date chuck little happens and when chuck decided to do a service to women everywhere all that happens is we see Chuck having sex with loads of women and loads of breasts. It's fun in parts and midly entertaining but the ending of the film is very predictable and has been done to death now. Overall I think this film will appeal to hetrosexual boys/men in their teens or early twenty's, there's more sex in it than romance ...

Review of Good Luck Chuck (DVD)

Spartan acting and talent

Advantages: Kevin Sorbo (just for looking at)
Disadvantages: The rest of the film

...Movie and Epic Movie thread, Meet the Spartans was made in 2008 as a spoof of 300. Not to be confused with other, funnier spoof movies, this one is a bit of a let down in my eyes. ***Film Info*** Starring Sean Maguire (yes the one from Eastenders that had a failed pop career) as Leonidas and Kevin Sorbo (Hercules/Andromeda) as Captain, Meet the Spartans does not just spoof 300. Carmen Electra also stars as Queen Margo (does she have to be in every ...
...Borat) stars as Xerces, and looks repulsively funny in that role. Don't ask me why but every time I saw this guy, I started laughing. Maybe it was embarrassment for him, but I laughed at every scene he was in. The film tries to follow the original script of 300 while making fun of the main characters. There are references to Brangelina, Shrek, Transformers, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. Some of these references are funny but not all of them. The ...

Review of Meet The Spartans (Blu-ray)

Even best friends can't share the same wedding day.

Advantages: Lots of funny moments, gorgeous dresses, flowers, etc to look at!
Disadvantages: None (in my opinion!)

...Ritz and seeing a beautiful bride coming out of the hotel with her husband on her arm. They make a pact there and then that their wedding will be in June at the very same venue. Liv played by Kate Hudson is a tough Associate lawyer and one of the prestigious law firms in Manhattan. She is known for getting her own way and taking no prisoners along the way.Kate Hudson plays a fantastic part, and will clearly not back down when tough choices need ...
...and is much more likeable as her character is eager to please, and also easily taken advantage of. As the film progresses, the two characters start to change, as the blessed day turns them into evil, desperate women determined to have their perfect day at absolutely any costs. The film is an interesting take on weddings, and most women who have been married will be able to see what the characters are going through. The perfect weddings mean that ...

I went to go see him live for the first time on friday just gone in manchester and it was brilliant. This DVD is a fantasic purchase and would ...
