Dean (6927 KP) rated Venom (2018) in Movies
Oct 9, 2018
I'm not sure what to make of Venom really. It's ok, quite funny at times. Some of the action scenes are good. Overall though the story felt quite weak. Torn between a Deadpool style of humour and trying to be a good origin story as well. Not quite hitting Marvel's high standards.
Dean (6927 KP) rated Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005) in Movies
Jan 22, 2019
It's not as good as the first. Not quite so many laughs, the storyline just wasn't as good. More of a gross out and slapstick comedy than the first. It's just silly a lot of the time, you'll like it depending on your sense of humour. Pity Kelly Brook wasn't in it a bit more!

Historical (1 more)
Emotional
Deeply moving yet so readable
Normally historical accounts of such awful experiences are difficult to read but this is so hard to put down. Somehow despite the atrocities being described it keeps you spellbound. There is a lightness and humour in parts that is almost as remarkable as the charactor in the book.
Dean (6927 KP) rated A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas (2011) in Movies
Mar 19, 2020 (Updated Mar 25, 2020)
Typical stoner comedy
The 3rd in Harold & Kumar comedies. It won't be to everyone's taste. Typical silly, stoner comedy mainly. It's not as funny as @Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle (2004) but still fairly similar. It's ok if you don't mind silly humour.
Second Helpings

Henry Brewis fans will not be disappointed. There continue to be liberal helpings of death-wish...

Magnifico
Perfect just like the first one. In this one though, our characters fight on two fronts. This movie is mostly preparation for war, making amends and gathering armies to fight evil. Humour is still present, but as everyone realizes that a big war will start soon, there are more serious and dreadful parts.

Great cast, great chemistry (3 more)
Great humour
Loved the plot
Keeps you guessing
A newly perfect movie?
This is a fantastic movie. The humour is spot on. Very funny, it's not too stupid and it's not too serious.
All through the movie your kept guessing what's real and what's fake. Plenty of twists to keep you hooked. Unpredictable in most parts and a great ending.
The dialogue is perfectly written and the cast do great. Everyone is perfectly cast. They all have great chemistry and are very likable. The plot is different, I've never seen a movie like it that I can remember and I would watch it again. Would love to see a sequel but cannot see how they could make it different.

Charley (64 KP) rated Good Omens in Books
Jan 26, 2019
A good mix of both Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaimam
This story is about a demon and an angel trying to find the anti-christ and stop the apocalypse. It has a very similar style to all of Terry Pratchett's books. It is nice to read something written by him that isn't set in the discworld (no matter how much I love them).
It is full of the two authors dark humour and being set in England means that there are loads of little bits that are recognisable.
Some of my favourite parts are when they discribe certain aspects of the country that have been designed by demons to torture humans (like the M25!)
Thoroughly enjoyed this read.

The puppets are well integrated into the live action (2 more)
Bad taste humour at times
It is funny
The Muppets is definately isn't....
Only watched based on the trailer on Netflix and have to say I wasn't disappointed... Don't expect an academy award winning film and you won't be upset.
The puppets fit in with the live actors and the production works well. The humour is often in bad taste but not offensive unless you are one of those people who take offense just for the sake of it...
It was an enjoyable way to pass the time and I did find myself laughing out loud even though I was on my own while watching it and that doesn't happen often...
