This is an updated list with my favorite comedies at the moment. I have thought a long on it, I have pondered a lot of factors, but generally it shows my taste, based on a great admiration for certain comedians and comedy creators. I used to dislike some actors, but those times have past. I judge a movie on how I feel watching it and what lingers after that. I am a declared fan of Will Ferrell, Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Trey Parker & Matt Stone, Sacha Baron Cohen, John C. Reilly, Kristen Wiig, … [Read more...]
Zoolander
I don't know how I have delayed until now to write about this incredibly amazing comedy, a Ben Stiller product. It's not hard to imagine what could happen if you take Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell and throw them together in the fashion cauldron, with a mix of other great actors and real life celebrities. Zoolander is a 2001 release directed by Ben Stiller and written by Drake Sather, Ben Stiller, and John Hamburg. It is a comedy which made my Top 10 Comedies of all times, it was … [Read more...]
A Night at the Roxbury
I finally did it! I'm going to present you one of the best comedies of all times, one of my favorites anyway, A Night at the Roxbury, as I already said in a previous post. You know my SNL addiction, I suppose, and not only that, but I have to say that Will Ferrell is one of the greatest comedians alive. He gained his fame by changing Saturday Night Live's face for ever. He is just prolific. This movie has been done after they have a tremendous success with "The Roxbury Guys" SNL recurring … [Read more...]
Saturday Night Live, the Most Hilarious Show
Saturday Night Live is one of the most hilarious shows ever to be aired. The concept and the wit of the sketches are not to be seen anywhere. It is humor in its purest sense. Everything is done because of the talented creators and actors. I have compiled such a list on imdb, called "The Best SNL People", consisting of fifty four actors and actresses with a permanent role in the show, not just hosts or invited guests. I have read a lot of reviews about this marvelous show. I don't … [Read more...]
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
"Life made him tough. Love made him strong. Music made him hard." “Walk Hard” is a hit comedy, one of my favorites so far. I thought of this post for more than six months, but always appeared something else in the way, and I needed to do more research. It is complex, and if it seems that the structure is based on mocking “Walk the Line”, it is an original movie, with original songs, which pays tribute to Johnny Cash, punk rock, the Beatles, The Doors, Bob Dylan, and many more. John C. … [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...]
