This film, on its release' was heavily hyped, not just because it's loony tunes, but also every other film which brings back classic cartoon characters like 'who framed roger rabbit', 'the adventures of rocky and Bullwinkle' and of course 'space jam' have all huge family successes and had flawless scripts and memorable parts, however this film..well...

The film has a very cliche plot of daffy duck being sick of playing second fiddle to bugs bunny and has him quit his job as a cartoon character and move in with failed stuntman Drake (Brendan Fraser) who then both set out on a mission to find some ancient artifact in order to save the world, with bugs bunny in hot pursuit wanting daffy back.


Now this film is no space jam, but it does have some funny bits in it which kept me and my five year old brother happy for a few minutes. however the winning formular of daffy duck and bugs bunny has been tampered with and as a result you get serious emotional scene after serious emotinal scene about daffy ducks jealousy, and no one wants to see a cartoon duck with a lisp moan for ages about hows he'll never be as great as a lanky rabbit.

Fight Club

Fight Club, directed by David Fincher, pushes the brains boundaries in wha can be classed as vigorious and complicated storylines.

Nameless Edward Norton is a man in remorse, disappointed with everything. He turns to support groups, all of them, to fuel his need for "rebirth" as he feels heightened for sharing his pain with others, but lying about it. Ultimately, he creates Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), who is everything he wants to be. He'a a rebel, a vagabond without a cause. Norton sees him as his new best friend, when really he is viewing his own Tyler-style life who nobodys eyes. He creates Fight Club, where men are free to fight each other for no reason, and where all are equal. When he comes to terms with this, he fights back against himself, finally shooting himself before his destruction of major bank and credit card companies.

What is a complicated storyline is shown well with interesting cinematography, directing and acting skills, as everything is timed to a tee, especially the scene in the house when Tyler and Maria (Helena Bonham Carter) never be in the same room,but both are talking to Edward.

Its not always easy on the eyes, but Fight Club is one of Finchers bets films. Deosnt beat Se7en though.

Film Review

Superbad (Greg Mottola, 2007)

This sweetly absurd high school comedy “Superbad”, Is a funny tale of three horny, geeks in high school trying to stay together in their last year of high school and last year of a ludicrously dependant friendship before moving off to separate colleges therefore having to contemplate life apart. Evan is an adorable boy, and smart but seems to be terrified of the opposite sex, whereas his best mate Seth seems to be foul-mouthed, impulsive, and is only obsessive over girls. Also tagging along is their awkward third wheel, a bespectacled wanksta named Fogell a.k.a. “McLovin.” Attempts to try to defeat the fact that they are all still virgins ends in a misguided attempt to advance on their objects of affection in just a panic-driven night.
Actor Seth Rogan that also co-writed and starred in this film, obviously put input from his other comedies that he has starred in, for instance “knocked up”, He keeps the same type of humour used the film and introduces it into this but using his own geeky twists. This comedy of a invigorating nature, about the various indignities that “coolness” demands, be it drunkenly smacking your head into the only interested girl’s face or even befriending a load of cokeheads in a basement that insist you sing to them some soul music. When Superbad nudges fun at that pointlessness, its appealing. Beyond the central arguing trio, there are gauzy areas, such as the pair of dumbass cops (one of them being Seth Rogan) and the usual lust objects.
