Judd Apatow’s third film as director stars Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen. Money, fame, a big house, legions of beautiful women wholl sleep with him because hes famous. Basically, hes living the Playboy lifestyle. They love him for his lowbrow comedies, but no one knows George Simmons. Not as a friend, but as a writer and personal assistant. In some ways,Funny Peopleis Judd Apatows best film. Youll get sucked in by Adam Sandlers brilliant performance....
The concept behind the adventures of monsters Sulley and Mike is both preposterous and yet endearing. He describes the irresistibly cute Boo as a killing machine. The fur on Sulley inMonsters, Inc.is just amazing and gives the character a very appealing yet bizarre appearance. The picture quality here is quite stunning. So good, in fact, that Im tempted to say weve got another reference candidate here. There is also an audio commentary track as per the DVD release and the short filmsFor The BirdsandMikes Car....
CGI animation was made for Blu-ray, and for young children. But there might be one or two exceptions… CGI animation. What do you think of when you hear it? You see, heres the bizarre thing with CGI. CGI animation has become synonymous with the idea that animation must be for children. Its set two years afterFFVII, when Cloud and his colleagues took on the evil Sephiroth. This recap is brilliant as I remember the plotline of the game being incredibly convoluted!...
33 The opening episode ofLostwas superb. I can happily say that.Doctor Who, way back in 1963, got off to a flyer too. And at heart, its such a simple idea that powers it. Because once 33 minutes are up, the Cylons reappear and start to attack them. Cue another jump, and again, 33 minutes later, there are the Cylons again. Its relentless, and heck, how well do they get that across....
Rupert reviews Lars von Trier’s controversial Antichrist. So is it masterpiece or grot-shocker? Not unsurprisingly, its the unsimulated sex and genital self-mutilation thats been grabbing the headlines. Exploitative, grotesque, vaudevillian all indignation-fuelled adjectives levelled atAntichrist. So what is it, masterpiece or grot-shocker? Well, the truth isAntichristis neither. Antichristreveals its modus operandi within the first few seconds, and with it the duality of the films motive. Ad content continues below However, the infamous full penetration shot is totally unnecessary....
Mark begins a series covering the original Battlestar Galactica. A journey that he hopes will bring him eventually to a distant world called Earth… Ad content continues below My reaction toGalacticathen was mixed. Coming back to the series 30 years later how doesSaga Of A Star Worldplay? If Im brutally honest, it isnt great. Its sufficiently Machiavellian to make it obvious from the outset who the good and bad guys are....
Ace Garp is back. Breaking out of Bide-A-Wee Penitentiary, hes loose amongst the spaceways again, causing mayhem wherever he goes. He pursues them through the first few stories. If that wasnt enough trouble, his own crew organise a workers co-operative and go on strike. When he fails, its up to his superior Rooster Coburn to finish the job. Its a chance to have a crackshot at Hollywood through a crackpot quest....
Any album with an entry entitled “Tractor Attack” must be worth a listen! Composed by Ben Foster (Doctor Whoconductor, fact fans!) Interestingly, theres not one hint of the iconic, yet incredibly simple, theme tune at all. Perhaps they felt it was a little too BBC Three. From the get-go we are in no doubt whats going on. But its not all strings and brass, oh, no! Theres a voice too, and what a sound it is....
No sign of any disgruntled ex-partners, secret love children or anything like that. Not to mention Cupid going round shooting arrows at all and sundry. Flos good friend Quinn is a wedding planner and this is her third casual game outing. I briefly played the firstWedding Dashand wasnt keen because it was slow going, so hadnt bothered since. And I have to say theWedding Dashfranchise has improved considerably. Quinns task is to help out Cupid by planning and executing a set amount of weddings....
Did you know I always wanted to be a dancer in Vegas? Personally, its my favourite, too. He decides to go with his gut-instinct and professes how he feels. After all, now he is always Chasing Amy. The two break-up and the professional and personal relationship between Holden and Banky is over. Holden arrives and they share a friendly smile. Chasing Amyis a movie that totally fits its time. Of course everybody has a preference, but you are not chained to that decision....
Which is probably what attracted Scott and, scriptwriter, Brian Helgeland, to the project. Washington manages to breathe real pathos into what could have been a cliche-ridden character. Is there a better actor working in mainstream cinema today? If anything, Travolta is the weakest link here. Hardly a surprise, but still no less of a disappointment after what had come before. Not quite first class, but still far from a train wreck....
Lucy checks out a time-management game with just a tad less magic than Mary Poppins… The developers have clearly had this feedback as theyve tried to rectify it in this second incarnation. Nanny Mania 2: Goes To Hollywoodstars our favourite nanny, Emma. With her posh English accent and sense of fun, shes a spiffing character, dont you know? As youd expect, the game starts off slow for those whove never played a game like this before....
Could Moon be the science fiction film of the year? Rupert argues it could even be much more than that… And yet, to labelMoonmerely a twist movie would be doing it an injustice. InMoon, Jones and Rockwell have created a man whose tribulations are genuinely effecting someone to feel for. Kevin Spaceys laconically aloof tones are also perfect for GERTY, Sarangs AI of ambiguous intent. And with a lean 90 min running time,Moonis a tight movie, unlike Kubricks ponderous space oddity....
