The Campaign DVD Review

The Campaign

US Politics is a big thing, in the US it is anyway, the publicity and hyperbole surrounding candidates for election has more in common with WWE Monday Night Raw than it does with anything that happens here in Westminster. In fact if we could get some of that circus over here then it might encourage people [...]

This-Is-40-Poster

Judd Apatow’s This Is 40 will be one of the few comedies contending in this year’s Oscars. Universal will be pushing for it in all categories, and I think the Best Adapted Screenplay is a very real possibility. With the film’s US release on the horizon just before Christmas, we’ve seen a handful of new [...]

The Campaign Review

The Campaign

What must have seemed like a no-brainer on paper, with a cast and crew well-versed in the art of cinematic humour (Ferrell’s frequent collaborator and creative partner Adam McKay is one of the producers here, too), struggles to translate to comedy gold on screen, mainly down to a indecisive approach to the material and two [...]

First Clips from The Campaign with Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis

The Campaign

Led by Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis as opposing candidates in the presidential election, The Campaign brings together the two actors for the first time in leading roles for a pairing that was all but an inevitability. Their individual blends of comedy are in many ways pretty similar, and fans of both comedians don’t have [...]




Rise of the Planet of the Apes Blu-ray Review

rise of the planet of the apes blu-ray

With Rise of the Planet of the Apes there was a risk that Fox were returning to a tainted well once too often, with the series still in the doldrums following the much-derided Tim Burton adaptation of the original story ten years ago. Yet the studio’s faith in British director Rupert Wyatt proves well placed, [...]
