Old School – Quickie Review
A great launching pad for Will Ferrell’s post SNL career. Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson are also as the top of their game. So many very funny one-liners and sight gags. Good clean, raunchy fun.

Harvey – Quickie Review
I can sum up this movie with one word: Delightful. James Stewart is effortlessly charming, as usual, in this spirited and very funny movie. This is film is pure magic.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World – Quickie Review
Totally original, totally inventive movie. Edgar Wright is at the top of his game. Endlessly funny, wonderfully creative. I only wish it performed better at the box office so there could have been a sequel. Michael Cera is perfect; Kieran Culkin steals every scene he’s in.
Borat: Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan – Quickie Review
Fearless. It’s absolutely fearless… and shameless. Constantly funny, intentionally absurd and offensive. Cohen is masterful.

Paul – Quickie Review
A marvelously inspired fanboy sci-comedy written by and starring two fanboys. You don’t have to be a sci-fi fan to enjoy this movie, but it helps. It helps a lot. From the in-jokes to the subtle references to the key casting choices and the deliberate homages, this movie is jam-packed with everything a fan could …
A Sister Act – A Dozen Summers Review
I was recently contacted by Kenton Hall, the writer/director/co-star of the British film I’m about to discuss, offering me a chance to review his independent project prior to its release. And I replied with a, “Jolly good ol’ chap, I’m gob-smacked, you must be taking a piss, I’d love to.” Actually, I didn’t say any …
UHF – Quickie Review
Endlessly silly, but utterly loveable. It funnier to me now than it was when it first came out. The world needs more movies from Weird Al.
In Bruges – Quickie Review
One of the biggest surprises to come out of 2008, and it was one of my favourites. It’s profane, bloody, offensive and darkly humourous so I loved it. Colin Farrell delivers his best performance to date; Gleeson is solid; Fiennes is an absolute natural at comedy. Highly recommended.
