Fired Up - 2009 ***



I found this pretty funny to be honest. I've come to realise that american comedy usually goes out its way to objectify women and we have to contend with shot after shot of breasts, arses and fake tan. Instead of moaning about it I may as well just try and grasp what humour there is in the selected film.
This movie is very like that, except most of the shots are cheerleader related as two stupid but loveable jocks find themselves in the centre of a cheerleading squad. It was good.

The Hangover III - 2013 **


It's just as well this was the last film of these comedies because I know I wouldn't of watched the next one. Same sort of routine, although really doesn't have anything to do with the last two movies. The funniest character was Chinese - says it all really. I just feel that these films were never particularly good, they just arrived on the scene at a time when America was only shelling out awful comedies, and I suppose they were a bit unique. Or rather, the first one was. The second one wasn't so much, and this one had no clue what it was doing (neither did the formless, idiotic characters). This time the group are in Las Vegas. Oh joy.

What a Carve Up - 1961 **** 1/2


Loved this film. Saw it years ago and was recently lucky enough to get it on DVD due to a birthday Gift card.
Kenneth Connor and Sid James play friends who are summoned to Kenneth's uncle's estate after they learn of his sudden death. The evening unfolds in a terrifying way when other members of the strange family appear and get bumped off in quick succession.
Very funny and enjoyable.
