This is Steven Fry and Hugh Laurie as the two lead roles. Wooster (Laurie) is a rich but lazy man who likes socialising with friends in the pub, drinking and playing the piano. He doesn't fit the criteria of a decent husband- much to the annoyance of the parents of the woman that he is supposed to be marrying. Enter Jeeves (Fry), a newly appointed butler who turns Wooster's life around and helps him to overcome hardships- such as the marriage that he doesn't want to be forced into. With hilarious physical and verbal jokes, ready wit and a story line that makes one proud to be English...
This is the same character as above, only this time he is looking after who appears to be his nephew. With plenty of hilarious physical comedy, outrageously comical characters and again, not a lot of spoken dialogue, this film is guaranteed to have you laughing hysterically from start to finish...
This film is a very strange, French and not very well known. That doesn't however, make it any less brilliant. It doesn't have a lot of dialogue, rather plenty of hilarious slap- stick, mimed and physical comedy. It is a story of M. Hulot, a man that unfortunate things happen to, takes a short holiday to the seaside. Full of stereotypes and lovable characters, this film is far better watched than described...
I was shocked to find out that this film is actually rather brilliant. It is hard to explain to be honest, but is about a boy who accidentally finds himself piloting an alien space craft, as it tours the surrounding area. Strange, but cute aliens are introduced and the acting of most of the cast is very cheesy. The aspect that makes it so good is the 'feel- good' factor of the film. I recommend to watch it just to see what you think about it, as it really is a not very well known but very entertaining movie...
Another PIXAR, this one being equally as amazing as all of the others. It tells the tale of an unexpected hero- a robot that cleans up rubbish in a deserted planet Earth. The narrative is quirky and strange but the characters adorable (especially the feelings that our protagonist develops for the character "Eve". The animations again are perfect and the story line flows incredibly well, with hilarious moments- particularly when you see what has become of the human race. The music (by James Newton Howard) is very fitting and beautiful sounding- also portraying moods in scenes very effectively. There are also moments that will have you hiding behind a cushion or at the edge of your seat, as the pace becomes intense and certain characters taken a sudden, sinister turn. Just like any other PIXAR movie, this is perfect to watch alone, with family, with friends or, well, anyone at any time...
This film is brilliant. The acting of Donald Sutherland and Brenda Blethyn (playing the parents of the daughters). I'm not sure what a Jane Austen fan would think about the film but I didn't know anything about it when I first watched it and thought it was very enjoyable- even the "acting" of Keira Knightley is bearable. The set, locations and costume are amazing and the music is very pretty. Lots of humour can be found in the script and the romance and frustration of the relationships are portrayed in an engaging and convincing manner by all of the cast. It was also nice to see Tom Hollander and Dame Judi Dench take short roles, I am a massive fan of both of their work. To sum up, the film is one to be recommended to those film lovers who enjoy a real period, classy piece that makes them proud to be British...
Ever since watching this movie for the first time, I have and will always enjoy it. The music is brilliant and catchy, the story line is clever and original, the puppetry and costumes are amazing and the characters are all adorable and lovable (or occasionally spooky). It stars Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie, with the mastery puppetry of Frank Oz and directed by the imaginative Jim Henson. The story tells of a spiteful young girl who has to travel through a labyrinth of strange creatures and magic spells, to rescue her annoying baby brother from the clutches of the evil Goblin King (Bowie). The movie has magic, mystery and plenty of fun and humour. Dare you watch a film where nothing is what it first seems to be?...
