16 Dec 08 Witless protection

What a way to end a day in the office, just when i had left this one to last, thinking it had nothing to offer,
What starts out as a complete piss-take of the film industry actually ended up being a hillbilly barrel of laughs, make way eye of the tiger, this bad boy just took top of the charts.

When a hillbilly cop dreams of much bigger things than his small town hiccup’s of a cops life, he takes matters into his own hands and kidnapps a blond bombshell in hopes of making the big time in crime busting, but what he doesn’t realise is he just stepped into a circle of ntrust and mayhem.

I couldn’t recommend this film more, if you have had a rubbish day or night, flop out your bundy and kick your feet up, your in for a ride of classic and new groove humour, it’s like a scary movie but the storyline is actually a story and there is a plot. however there is not as much cheese for the nacho’s, which is just great.

Well get motivated people this one is a sure laugh and a half, happy couching.

28 Sep 08 Grumpy Old Men

This will get your viagra groove on,  I wasn’t even planning to see this one, just popped up on network television,  I couldn’t Resist a blast from the past, so i sat down and watched this end to end.

These old buggers are unbelievable, I definately look up these geriatric school kids, if I can try and imagine what i want to be like when my flatulants force themselves out; this would be a good example.

This is a well funny flick, its got a bit of a low profile for action and adventure but it rates man nappies as if they were budweiser’s, I seriousley had a bit of a chuckle, its got a solid storyline and doesn’t beat around the garden shed too much, its got some wicked beat up lines and bashful pitches, its definately one for the family, but its got something for everyone, a few quirky twists out there scenes keep you interested.

For a family comedy, I was glad i took the time to see this one through;  though if i hadn’t been recovering from a heavy night on the town i am not sure if i would have given it the chance, however i am well stoked i was in the frame of body and mind to catch this one.

24 Sep 08 The Matador

This is a master of human puppetry, Pierce Brosnan stars as a lonely hitman/assassin in this mexican flavored slice-up of dicey deeds and scope crosshairs, This film has got a piece of something for every man with an American Dream and an eye for making trouble.

This matador will make you want to be an assassin just to get the perks of the novelty of basically doing what ever the fark you want, its switch on lifestyle outlooks is a massive comparison of the diversity in both cultural and society rings as these two characters embark on a journey that will create a bond like no other.

On one hand you have a gullible homemaker, wannabe motivational speaker on the other a desperate killer.
What a match, well… not at first; but it really takes a turn for the worst, this was a well massively funny flick, I had never heard of this one till some months ago, I have to say I was a bit anxious about even strapping down to catch this one, but as it turns out it has also found its way to my playlist of gotta watch again.

If you like a bit of action and slap happy comedy rolled into one; this will roll a big doobie, plug your face and spark up for yah, if not then I’ll tell you what happens at the end… He dies ! OK that last bit was bullshit. but even if you don’t think its for you, if you cross paths with this baby give it a whirl, it’s sure to tickle the stomach clitoris.

23 Sep 08 Napolean Dynamite

Last week Japanese scientists explaced… placed explosives at the bottom of lake Lochness, to blow Nessy out of the water, Sir Court Godfrey of the Nessy alliance summoned Me Movie-man to sit through one of the most hilarious movies of all time, I hadn’t seen this bad boy till after a few years of it’s release….. where the hell was I…..  Astounded by the glamor of this 60’s bunny rabbit air freshener holder and dry humored backdrop of middle America, lost amongst the grass of some hicksville township.

I just couldn’t stop laughing, almost to the point of having to suffocate myself in a paper bag just to get my breath back, this was some meat drenched, wet bloat of absolute depression, I honestly don’t understand how anyone could have possibly been excited about actually undertaking the making of this movie, with its puny budget and low tech effects,   however they did a farkin massive job of overhauling the storyline: costumes, one liner cracks as well as the soundtrack, aahhh the soundtrack… it blows holes in most modern stuff and fits the theme like a peel on a banana.

“Jon Heder”  - Napolean Dynamite plays an alienated yet compulsive teenager living with his grandma, he sets out to rebel against anyone but himself, Napolean has a series of totally weird obsessions starting with a HE-MAN, tied to a string which he throws out a bus window as to drag it down an un-surfaced road…   “Wierd right”,  well thats just the beginning to this wacky and dry performance;  to let on too much would be to tell you what happens at the ending, when he dies…. OK; that last bit was bullshit.

I give this flick a huge REC, if you havn’t seen this, you gotta grab a $1 weekly and book this bitch.
i found this 10 times funnier the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, & 6th times. it’s retarded & well Geekish, but it is well worth a laugh, I’ll be watching this one over for some time to come.

20 Sep 08 Forgetting Sarah Marshall

From the makers of the 40 Year old Virgin. this was a recommendation, that i am stoked to have been given.
captivating and surprisingly; farkin hillarious for a mix up of dark comedy, cheese, and pubescent humour.

A crazy story of a dude who has a HOT TV girlfriend, who ends up giving him the flick, and sends him into a depressive downward spiral, only to be picked up and thrown into a vacation in Hawaii on the same island with his Ex and her new toy-boy, this takes funny and anxiousness and rams it home, not too much to the story here but a wickedly massive lineup of very funny characters and actors from all over the place.

If you have just split up with your girlfriend or your the 50 year old virgin, this is a must see.

This was a top movie and it will become part of my to watch again and again and again playlist.

19 Sep 08 40 Year Old Virgin

Another must see movie for all, a classic all round soft cone comedy starring “Steve Carell” as “Andy Stitzer
this movie is full of awesome one liners and should be recognised for it.

“The 40 year old virgin” this sexually unexperienced and anxious character; while working out the best way possible to grow hair on his scrote, working and waisting his life away working in Smart-Tech, a classic Harvey Norman, overpriced underrated living room, bedroom and beyond electronics store, is climbing the manhood ladder of soft toys and desperation, as he goes on a life journey that will change his perspective on his sexuality and give him the balls to get off his ass and go get some loving.

He meets a bird, not by choice in store and finds himself gripping the stilts of manhood to get up the gruff to get on her. this is such a funny movie, really good after a few beers.

17 Sep 08 Ricky Gervais - Polotics

If you like Ricky Gervais, as much as i doo, then this release should be on your PSP, your PC, your toilet entertainment devise, your ipod, just about anywhere you can think of watching the light driven device we know as the screen.

Ricky tackles politics and the science behind it all head on, there is something in this gig for anyone from hobbits to gigantic people. If your a bit touchy with racism, politics, elongated tales and fables, then go get a copy of the telly tubbies, this is absolutely brilliant. but if you dont know how to laugh, then don’t bother.

Ricky begins this parody by taking the piss in an otherwise extremely funny situation with a chap that just does this set justice, first rate.

Politics is 1 in a series of many, Animals, Politics and fame, Animals was brilliantly expressed, an energetic ramble stuff you would otherwise have no idea about, but just as interesting if not more than the national geographic channel, Fame, well this just opened the doors for Ricky to flash off his success, but it was done with complete character finess, if you want to laugh your ass off, this is a great option.
