Advantages: no brainer, just pure fun
Disadvantages: none

What is the air speed velocity of an un-laden swallow? This is just one of many life changing questions that are answered in this rediculously funny film. Does it make any sense, whatsoever? well, no, but neither does anything that the pythons have done. Written and performed by the pythons way back in 1975, this is a take on camelot, and the knights of the round table. If they need introducing, the pythons are Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry ...
...happen to be some of the funniest men ever to have graced the earth. The plot can only be described loosely, as there isn't really one. But i'll do my best. Arthur, king of the britains, is visited by god, who sends him on a quest, to find the holy grail. On the way, arthur rounds up some knights to help him. he meets up with Sir Bedevere the Wise, Sir Lancelot the Brave, Sir Galahad the Pure (also called "the Chaste"), and Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot. ...

Advantages: Hilarious, great extras, funny everytime you watch it
Disadvantages: Nothing!

I have loved Monty Python since seeing Monty Python's flying circus years ago, so when I saw this collector's edition dvd box set of 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' for sale in HMV I couldn't resist buying it. (and I love it even more now that Michael Palin was an honorary graduate at my graduation and I stood about five feet away from him! He also did his Knights of Ni impression) The collector's edition dvd set comes in a cardboard casing which ...
...this film. All of the Monty Python cast are hilarious. It is not a serious film in the slightest and I find it very easy watching. There are also some songs throughout the film which are really well written with silly lyrics and catchy tunes. My favourite bit in the film is when all of the knights pretend to be riding along on their horses whilst their servants make horse noises with coconuts. It's so ridiculous. On disc 2 there are five extra ... Read review

Advantages: Funny
Disadvantages: Bit cheesy

The movie stars Mike Myers and deals with the story of a "Hindu" love guru tasked to save the marriage of a Toronto Mapleleafs hockey player before it eventually ruins the team's chances of winning the Stanley Cup. Yes, that's the synopsis of the movie. If you think it sounds shallow and unfunny, well you've hit the nail right on the head. People who were expecting the kind of gross but ultimately super-funny gags and sequences in Myers' Austin ... Read review

Advantages: Good acting
Disadvantages: N/A

Big forehead Reese Witherspoon plays (implausibly) a workaholic doctor who seems to retain her Barbie-like prettiness despite working without sleep. She can't get a date (again, yeah right) and is on her way to visit someone when she gets smacked by a car. Fast forward to sometime later and we meet Mark Ruffalo, who happens to be the new tenant in Witherspoon's apartment. He starts seeing the unknowing ghost of Witherspoon and thus the saccharine-sweet, ... Read review

Advantages: Reynolds
Disadvantages: N/A

Just Friends came out in December of 2005 and just barely flew under the radar. It is quite a shame, considering that this movie, more than any other, demonstrates the talent that Ryan Reynolds has at doing what he does best: being a complete jerk. Reynolds has always done his best when in the role of a smug, cocky, and crassly witty anti-hero and this time is no different. Chris Brander (Reynolds) was the fattest kid in high school whose best friend ... Read review
