Neglecting Australians as movie producers is not good at all. There is a bunch of native Australians actors who are already famous, and I bet not many knows that they are actually Aussies. What is good and what is wrong with them doesn't matter. What matters is that they're more than talented, they make Australians to be proud without too much fuss. Let's take this amazingly wonderful comedy, as quirky as it is, and say that as far as I\m concerned, it's one of the best comedies I've seen … [Read more...]
Stranger Than Fiction
It is considered "comedy". It's not a classic one, maybe a black comedy, anyway, it's subtle. It's Will Ferrel's most serious role in his entire acting career, or I consider it so. It's also considered "drama", "fantasy" and "romance". I suppose these genres are more appropriate with this sensitive movie. I've seen it a few years ago, maybe just in the released year, 2006, I'm not sure anymore, and I was extremely pleasant impressed. As Adriana Popovici uses to say about a perfect made film, it … [Read more...]
Pineapple Express
In 2008 I was in some place where I used to be so busy every day, that I couldn't watch too many movies at once. This one, Pineapple Express slipped from the bundle, mostly that I was a fan of nobody from the movie at the time, and thinking that this is the team who brought Superbad to be a "hit" (great words, too great) was not an advantage at all. So, I considered Superbad a bad joke. I like comedies, I always liked them. Anyway, I wasn't a fan of Seth Rogen either, and I profoundly disliked … [Read more...]
31 Comedies
The following, is yet another list with comedies I liked and I couldn't consider "The Best". They can't be all "The Best". They start with the year of release, the order has nothing to do with my preferences. Of course, I like some of them more than others. All Pics are from www.imdb.com, a site whith an excess of Facebook on it. It's not simpler to connect through Facebook, it's just creepier. Wag the Dog Relesed in 1997 imdb 7.1 97 min. Director: Barry … [Read more...]
Oscar Buzz with Galifianakis
Galifianakis has a series of videos on the Funny or Die website titled Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis where he conducts interviews with popular celebrities between two potted ferns. The interviews are short and of course, unusual. He made two parts of Oscar Buzz, interviewing Jennifer Lawrence, Christoph Waltz, Naomi Watts, Amy Adams, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Bradley Cooper, Sally Field, as Oscar nominees this year. The celebration, is the 85'th in the Academy History and will … [Read more...]
Confessions of a Shopaholic
This is a "romantic comedy" released in 2009 under Jerry Bruckheimer's production company. It is under-rated (just a poor 5.6 on imdb), as almost all comedies. As a comedy it is one of the most funny things I saw in the genre, meaning the "romantic" genre, otherwise in this matter, I already have my opinions. You have already enjoyed my best 20 comedies list. [source] [all the other pictures as well, are credited to the same source] It's hard to imagine a film rated more than 6 out of … [Read more...]
