Film #76: Good Luck Chuck (2007)


Directed by: Mark Helfrich


Starring: Dane Cook, Jessica Alba


Back when Chuck was ten, a crush whom he turned down put a curse on him. He would never find true love and whoever he sleeps with would find mr. right straight after.

In the present day Chuck tries to escape this curse when he meets Jessica Alba, who plays a dumb and clumsy girl.

It can be quite funny at times and also sometimes sick and disturbing. A scene that comes to mind is when he doing this gigantic 800 tonne woman with acne all over her.

For any of the pervs out there, you do see Jessica's panties. Just thought I'd mention that.

One last thing; does anyone else find that promotional poster extremely creepy?

Film #75: The Three Amigos (1986)


Directed by: John Landis

Starring: Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, Martin Short

A hilarious comedy set in 1916 Mexico.
A small town have a problem with some bandits and after watching the hit TV show Three Amigos, they send them a telegram asking them to get rid of their problem.
The amigos (Martin, Chase, Short) accept, thinking that it's just an act, and find themselves trying to defend this village while using their skills accumulated from the show.

Great film, it's a classic.

Film # 74: The Honeymooners (2005)


Directed by: John Schultz


Starring: Cedric the Entertainer


Not a very good film. It's quite terrible to be honest.

Based on the old show but by based it means took the main plot and messed with it to make it bad.

# 73: Blades Of Glory (2007)


Directed by: Josh Gordon. Will Speck


Starring: Will Ferrell, Jon Heder


Two rival ice-skaters get into a fight when they tie which results in them being banned from skating again.

They find a loop-hole that allows them to enter as a double-act.

It's hilarious to watch these two comic actors work together with Ferrell being the macho tough guy and Heder the feminine boy. They work out their differences and try to be winners once again.

Directed by: Paul Hunter


Starring: Chow Yun-Fat, Seann William Scott, Jaime King


Nazis try to get an ancient scroll from some Tibetan monks that grants immortality. Chow Yun-Fat is the monk trying to fight the nazis and teams up with street-wise Seann William Scott to take them out.

Nice fight scenes, alright story, alright acting.

I'm not dead

I know I haven't posted a review in a long time (3, almost 4, months).
I have had a lot of stuff to do; exams are the main problem. Thankfully, school is almost out so I have lots of free time and will hopefully get back on track. I have been watching films while away though so all I have to do is write a review for them.
To save time, I may shorten the reviews, it depends on whether its a bad film or a good film.
