WELL WHAT CAN I SAY?... AWE INSPIRING A TRUE CHICK FLICK, DAVE CLINTON IS A HUNK OF A GUY AND I'm A HETEROSEXUAL ape As well. ANYWAY HES NOT IN THE FILM, THE FILM HOWEVER LEFT ME MENTAL, PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY SCARRED FOR 5 MONTHS, THEN I WAS CURED BUt i am now suffering from insomnia and diahrea only in the morning between 4 and 6.15. the best part of the film was when the credits were rolling at the end it had me on a natural high for at least what i can consider to be about 5 8ths of a donkeys lifespan. but then you have to say, NO this is my life and you cant tell me what to do, I'm a chuck Norris fan, i own you, your but a mere toucan to me, a mere one! but no seriously this film is not funny and in my opinion it should be classed as a video nasty and banned. after viewing the film with my optical sensors and listening with my audio devices that are located on the side of my face i have depicted the true meaning about black pudding. it's just a excuse to put all of the rubbish thats left of a hog into on measly portion of indepence. pooch, shelves, trashcan, elves and mantoes are all a current feature in this movie and i have to say that were a completed waste of time and they have been used far to to many time in these chauvinistic capitalist films about the grime raper. yes thats right the grim raper not grim reaper.

Fun with Dick and Jane
(2005)
Hmmm.....
6 February 2006
I went in to this film with high hopes, intrigued by what had potential to be an interesting and funny movie. However, leaving the cinema I was sorely disappointed for a number of reasons.
Firstly, the film doesn't seem to have enough plot to fully fill the time it takes. It seems to me like three quarters of an hour of plot have been stretched over a much longer time and it made me wonder when the story was going to start moving. The plot line is very basic and very predictable, which is a huge disappointment because it had the strength to go much further. Also, I won't tell you the ending but I personally found it an extremely poor ending that left me feeling confused. In certain films the ending used could be brilliant but here it just wasn't pulled off. Soo basically, the film is sparsely plotted with a huge anti climax of an ending. It is a very predictable movie with most jokes being unoriginal, Jim Carrey clichés.
There are certain saving graces from which this film earns it's five point and those are a good soundtrack (any film with 'What I got' by Sublime is worth a few point in my books) and although they are few and far between,this film has its moments - Carreys performance of 'I believe I can fly' and the trying to kiss with badly bruised faces bit to name two.
So on the whole this is a very watchable film but it is weakly plotted and let down further by an even weaker ending. If you like Carrey a lot your sure to enjoy it but don't expect a masterpiece.

A perfect Arthur Dent and a very good movie
18 January 2006
I really did enjoy this film. I have never listened to the original radio show version of the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy but I am a firm fan of the TV series and of course the truly brilliant book series. I thoroughly recommend the books to you (all five although this is only the first) as they are some of the finest, funniest book ever written and what of this film that is true to book is excellent, 10 out of 10 stuff. And Martin Freeman as Arthur Dent is possible THE perfect choice. Whoever did that bit of casting is a genius.
So it would seem that I love this film as is is possible but there are reasons as to why this film is a 6 for me. Without wishing to give anything away there is an extra storyline completely alien to the book featuring a new character, Humma Kavula. While I know that this extra storyline is from the Brain of Douglas Adam's I just can't get into it. It seems out of place with the rest of the film, possibly because I love the book so much. Secondly, this book to me feel like a very British classic and I can't see characters like Zaphod and Ford Prefect as American, as they are in the film. While it is a good film and is brilliantly made, these two point lessened my enjoyment of it, leading to my six out of 10.
Of course I do recommend this film, even if just for the brilliant MArtin Freeman but fans of the book be warned about new story lines. Still, a funny and enjoyable film you should see....

Wayne's World
(1992)
Simply a Very Funny Movie
17 January 2006
I've seen this film more times than I care to remember but still every time I watch I find myself laughing out loud. I know what's coming and yet it still seems fresh and funny. This is a truly great comedy and I know opinions are split on this subject but it IS better than the Bill and Ted movies.
Based on Mike Myers' original SNL characters (who, being a being a British teenager, I have never had the pleasure of watching). Myers and Dana Carvy play a pair of inseparable pals Wayne and Garth, who do a late night, public broadcast TV show, Wayne's World. The guys get their chance at the big time and much comedy follows. I won't tell you any more as you really must watch this film hilarious film.
The plot is strong enough to keep you interested and the jokes come think and fast. Considering this was Myers first movie, the acting is good and the chemistry between Myers and Carvey works brilliantly. With some incredibly funny scenes and one-liners this is a truly classic comedy that I fully recommend to anybody.

Wayne's World 2
(1993)
One of the greatest sequels
17 January 2006
In general, sequels tend not to be such a good idea. There are many examples where a sequel has been utter rubbish and it is rare that a sequel can match up to its original, even if it is a good film. However, every so often a sequel comes along that can match its counterpart and even have some better points. Wayne's World 2 is a prime example of this.
Mike Myers and Dana Carvey are back as Wayne and Garth and this time the embark on a quest to stage a concert in Aurora after Wayne is visited in dream by an all time great of the music world. Another strong plot and some great new characters to go with the originals make this film very watchable and there are possible even more laugh out loud funny moments than before.
A very good, funny film that does justice to the great original

Fight Club
(1999)
Something very rare...
17 January 2006
It is a rare thing that there is a book that I really love and when I finally see the film made of that book that I think that film is up to scratch. Fight Club, however, cracks it! I loved the book, and although I was quite late seeing the film and quite apprehensive to see it as It thought it could ruin the book for me forever when I did see, I loved it just as much if not more.
Brilliantly Acted by a perfectly chosen cast, the film is a violent film and will shock many but, as most think, this film isn't just about violence, it is about something important. Come to this film with an open mind and prepare to have something to think about because thats the kind of film it is. This really isn't just a violence-fest with no significance or plot, it is a truly superb film.
An all time favourite of many, including myself and a film you really should see..

The Blues Brothers
(1980)
How is this not in the Top 250?
16 January 2006
The Blues Brothers really is a must see for anyone of any type. Anyone who claims to be a movie buff or just a movie fan, anyone who claims to be a fan of blues music, any fan of the actors (who i'm sure will have seen it anyway) and basically anyone.
This film never puts a foot wrong, it has an excellent script that is brilliantly acted, all the musicians who make an appearance are superb and it has some of the funniest scenes ever put on film! I fail to see how this film is not in the IMDb top 250.
Not only does it deserve to be in there, it deserves to be very high up!
