Fanboys, a review by RossRoy
(From RossRoy's Random Viewings on July 6th, 2010) Blast from the Past, a review by addicted2dvdTitle: Blast from the Past Year: 1999 Director: Hugh Wilson Rating: PG-13 Length: 112 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.35:1, Pan & Scan 1.33:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital 5.1, English: Dolby Digital Surround Subtitles: English Stars: Brendan Fraser as Adam Alicia Silverstone as Eve Christopher Walken as Calvin Sissy Spacek as Helen Dave Foley as Troy Plot: Meet Adam Webber (Brendan Fraser, The Mummy, George of the Jungle), born and raised in a bomb shelter with his mad scientist father (Christopher Walken, Pulp Fiction) and his sherry swilling mother (Sissy Spacek, JFK). Adam's simple childhood has been filled with Perry Como records, The Honeymooners re-runs and good old-fashioned family values. Now, 35 years later, Adam is about to emerge into a bewildering modern world in search of supplies and a simple girl from Pasadena. Instead, Adam meets Eve (Alicia Silverstone, Clueless) a modern LA woman, jaded about life and burned by love. The result is "an engaging romantic comedy that's charming, funny and hip!" Extras: Scene Access Trailers Production Notes Interactive Games DVD-ROM Content Closed Captioned My Thoughts: Another one I enjoyed quite a bit. It is a lot of fun watching the character of Adam experiencing the world for the first time at 35. An interesting... and at times... funny story. I liked both Brendan Fraser and Alicia Silverstone in this one. I am not what you would consider a huge fan of Alicia Silverstone... but I really liked her in this movie. There was just something about her in it. She was spot on the character in this one. If you never checked out Blast from the Past... I definitely recommend it. My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 (From Weekend Movie Marathon: Romantic Comedies on February 14th, 2010) Tom's TV Finales marathon, a review by Tom
Plot: England 1768-1815. A golden age of wealth, power and discovery though not for Edmund Blackadder Esq. In a situation that can rightly be seen as something of a slump in the fortunes of the previously aristocratic Blackadder family, Edmund is now butler and gentleman's gentleman to the "mini-brained" Prince Regent. Black Adder Series 3.06 Duel and Duality Writer: Richard Curtis (Writer), Ben Elton (Writer) Director: Mandie Fletcher Cast: Rowan Atkinson (Edmund Blackadder, butler to the Prince), Tony Robinson (Baldrick, a dogsbody), Hugh Laurie (The Prince Regent, their master), Helen Atkinson-Wood (Mrs. Miggins, a coffee shoppekeeper), Stephen Fry (The Duke of Wellington, a famous soldier), Gertan Klauber (King George III, a mad Monarch) I always liked the third series. And it has a good final episode. The one which has a good outcome for Blackadder himself. Rating: (From Tom's TV Finales marathon on February 17th, 2013) |
