G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)
What a blast!
Went to this tonight with my 12 yr old brother - wasn't sure what it was going to be like - hadn't read any reviews before going. I was pleasantly surprised - this was LOADS of fun with a good mix of action, action and comedy! The story wasn't too complex and relatively easy to follow which should suit anyone wanting a break from films that are trying to be too clever for their own good. We need more films like this that are just fun and packed with great intense action - but done well. Yes the FX weren't up to Transformers 2 standard - but regardless I enjoyed this a little more than Transformers 2 - it felt fresh and inspiring and it did what a good film is supposed to do - it transported me away from day to day life to another world!
Man Stroke Woman (2005)
Great Skit Show
Recently had the pleasure of seeing both seasons. Loved it and my wife agrees we had a good laugh (multiple times) throughout the whole series. There's a lot of everyday situations that we go through played out to the extreme and I love this particular satirical view on life. All the awkward moments of dating, parenting and married life - really taking on the 'What If?' approach quite well. The acting is stellar on all counts. I do particularly like Nick Frost's ability to play a great husband in one scene and then completely back-flip and play a useless drunk Uncle in the next. Man Stroke Woman is right up there with other greats such as 'The Office' 'Little Britain' and 'Catherine Tate' I do hope they get a 3rd series!
