Based on a book by Toby Young “How to Lose Friends & Alienate People”, the movie follows rise to the fame of a Sidney Young, a small time celebrity journalist. He is asked to come to New York to work for a famous magazine Sharp. Jokes are good [...]

Another movie starring Simon Pegg, so expect the same stuff as in Shaun of the Dead. Excellent British humor, and weird events. Nicholas Angel is a supercop who manages to catch every criminal on the the street, but jealous co workers arranged his transfer to a small town. In this culture shock Nicholas is assigned a [...]
Of the best zombie comedies that I have seen. It combines all the elements I like: British dark humor, Zombies, and a hell of a story. There is a lot of quality gore, but portrayed in such a benign way that it is almost cute. It follows Shaun, a lazy guy who have just been [...]
Another masterpiece from the Coen brothers. So expect a movie in a line of Fargo, lots of dark humor and serious but not that serious situations. I like how they used Brad Pitt as a health and workout freak, its sort of what would happen if someone who you least expect gain possession of something valuable [...]
Ben Kingsley is Frank Falenczyk, an alcoholic who happens to be a hitman. He tries to go to AA meetings, to stop drinking but he just can`t do it. After fucking up his hit, he is sent to West Coast to chill for a while, where he meets a women, who will show him the [...]
Another good comedy from Farrelly brothers. Roy Munson is a one-handed washed-up professional bowler with no money and a shitty life. When he discovers an Amish guy who is really talented for bowling he decides to exploit him and make a lot of cash. Good plain old comedy, all the usuals are here, drinking, jokes [...]
Speaking about radio stations and rock and metal, if you are interested you gotta check out this 1993 flick. A lot of young actors that are now acclaimed stars appear in it. So, Chazz Darveyand his two friends are the Lone Rangers, a rock/metal band that is trying to get a record deal. But as faith [...]
It is hard to review this movie, because either you will feel its vibe or you will just find it very boring. So the story is the following: A pirate radio station stationed on a boat is broadcasting forbidden rock tunes, the government is trying to get them off the air, and meanwhile they are [...]
If you want to watch some movie that will relax you this one is perfect. The story revolvs around the relationship of Julian Noble( a ruthless hitman tired of life, without any friends and longing for any type of stability in his life) and Danny Wright (a salesman with an almost perfect life, good job, [...]
He sees dead people, and they annoy him. That tag-line can very well describe this American comedy with a British twist. Bertram Pincus (just remembered one of the X-Files episodes) is grumpy dentist who does not like anyone, and he is trying to avoid any contact with humans. But that`s about to change when he [...]
Now here`s a refreshing comedy concerning prom troubles. Movie is a bit slow paced but with intelligent and well placed jokes. So do not expect some American Pie or something like that rip off. Danny Stein is trying to get a prom date, but he does not want to go with his best friend, which [...]
I found this great comedy searching trough Doug Liman movies, i liked his style of directing in a movie Go!!! and accidentally stumbled onto this gem. Story follows two regular guys, one just got dumped by a girlfriend, and the other one is his pushy and cocky friend Trent. They decide to go to Las [...]
Before Borat and Bruno there was Ali G. A classical English suburban kid who wants to be a tough east/west coast gangsta rapper. The jokes are pretty crude, and the movie is a real movie with a story and not just a series of events like Borat. Ali G is elected to be in the [...]
Well you know what is going to happen when you got Jay and Silent Bob in a movie title. Lots of jokes about sex, drugs, females, and other cool stuff. Excellent movie if you like this kind of humor, and choose with who you are going to watch it, pick some friends who you think [...]
Another really good mainstream comedy. It`s about two buddies trying to save a third buddy from marrying a wrong women. In one South Park episode these types of women are called succubus, they try to suck the life out of you and control you all the time, you know the type. But for Amanda Peet, [...]
Another masterpiece from Kevin Smith, this time the main theme is the church with its legends, stories, characters and everything in between. Great script, great actors, well except Matt and Ben, I do not like them that much, but they did their job well. Women working in abortion clinic has a duty to save mankind [...]
This mainstream comedy is pretty good. I like how the annoying mall guard (Seth Rogen) and very cocky and confident police detective(Ray Liotta) are making their contrast relationship work. The story follows a arrogant and in-your-face mall guard and his pursuit of recognition. Movie has a sad note to it, but it still manages to [...]
You get these kind of movies from time to time, and this is British version of a movie called The Longest Yard. With story set in prison, the guards are torturing the prisoners and probably act no more different, and then the prisoners decide to strike back trough some sport. There`s always a leader and [...]
Another movie with good script and idea, watered-down for an average viewer. After about 45 minutes in it kind of losses momentum but it`s still pretty watchable. Story revolves around successful real estate seller Peter Klaven who has no man friends, and his quest to find a best friend or any friend for that matter [...]
What a great flick, it captured that party atmosphere from that seventies, that stretches for over forty years, so the kids can identify with kids in the movie, one are trying to see Kiss and other are trying to see whatever band is popular today. So that`s the story, a couple of high-schoolers are trying [...]
