~ Spilt in Four ~

Advantages: Excellent Comedy, Great Cast, Good story
Disadvantages: A little short

~ Spilt in Four ~ Last night after a hard day job hunting and having interviews, we went to our local blockbuster and rented four films for £10. One of these which we watched last night was ‘Four Christmases’. I remember this coming out a while ago and thinking it looked quite funny but forgot all about it till now. What made me noticed the film was mainly the famous cast and the plot. The cast consists of a range of well known stars including Vince ...

Review of Four Christmases (Blu-ray)

Benders Back Baby!

Advantages: its futurama! funny, top quality.
Disadvantages: not enough extras?

I'm a massive Futurama fan and was very pleased to hear about the come back with these series of "feature length" episodes. This being the third (preceded by Benders Big Score and The Beast with a Billion Backs) i was expecting more goodness. Even more so, considering it was on Blu Ray and I could get full 1080p goodness. I wasn't to be disappointed either. The blurb reads: "As a result of soaring fuel prices, the Planet Express team set off on ...
...on Blu Ray. Full 1080p Futurama looks very very good. The word Crisp, does not do it justice. The image is smooth, clear and pristine. There is also the opition for DTS HD if you have the amplifier/reciever to copy with it, for lush sorround sound. I don't, only good old fashioned DTS + Pro logic II, but it still sounded great. There are a few good extras, including the usual bloopers, deleted scenes and commentary as well as some easter eggs, which ...

Review of Futurama - Bender's Game (Blu-ray)

Yes Man-Say "YES" to this film!

Advantages: Concept,story.Jim carrey
Disadvantages: Don't expect an oscar winner

Yes Man- starring Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel is director Peyton Reed's next big film after Breakup.It seems romantic comedy is his thing and he certainly succeeds in achieving what he was set out to-to entertain the audience. The basic premise of the film is quiet simple yet undeniably innovative.Carl is a loner,a divorced guy who would rather stay home and do nothing than going out and having fun with friends.The monotony of his life bogs him ...
...funny as it may sound(saying Yes to everything),it works out wonders for Carl in every aspect of his life. He sees life in a completely new manner and in the meantime also meets Allison,a completely opposite girl compared to the "real" carl. The change in his life brings a lot of happiness and looked almost perfect until one fine day he is caught in the airport by the security for some security reasons!Sounds weird? Its a masterpiece to bring this ...

Review of Yes Man (Blu-ray)

A Two-Bit Movie

Advantages: It has a handful of amusing scenes.
Disadvantages: It's too long, there aren't enough jokes and the performances are lazy.

...they can afford is homeless Drillbit Taylor. He infiltrates the school, posing as a teacher to keep an eye on the boys. He makes a big hit with pretty English teacher Lisa. But can he take on Filkins? Had I known director Steven Brill was the man behind Adam Sandler vehicles "Mr Deeds" and "Little Nicky" I don't think my expectations would have been very high. But I was suckered in by the 'from the guys who brought you "Superbad'" tag and therein ...
...covering the boys' relationship with Drillbit and his with Lisa. It makes it impossible to get to know or care about them. They also play the bullying for laughs which undermines the kids' need for a bodyguard in the first place. Otherwise the visuals are shiny enough but there's little innovation. The secret of good comedy is timing but it's something Brill lacks. There are precious few jokes in the script to begin with, but the director either ...

Review of Drillbit Taylor (Blu-ray)

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 ...
