Not a real feel good film considering the subject. (0 more)
Great portrayal of two greats
Coogan and Reilly star as the legendary double act, both actors must has spent hours perfecting Laurel and Hardys mannerisms, speech and comic timing as their portrayal of their respective characters are spot on...

This is the story of the latter part of their career, on a tour of the UK with the possibility of a new film as a dangling carrot to perform...

The comic routines during the stage parts of the film are almost as well performed as the real thing, yet coupled with the humour, is an underlying sadness of two stars trying to regain what they once had, and it's this that stops it being a feel good film as it is quite moving and sad if you are a fan of the duo...

It is interesting to see how their relationship is strained at times yet in spite of that how much they obviously cared for each other...

I don't know if the stars won any awards for their playing of Stan & Ollie, but if they didn't, they should have...

Brooks almost at his finest!
Contains spoilers, click to show
Not Brooks best, but I'd say his 3rd best, just after Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.

The film follows Brooks character, a moviemaker with an original idea, a new silent movie with some of the biggest stars of the 70s. The film is mainly based around hiring the cast and saving the studio from being bought by an evil conglomerate.

Despite the movie being completely silent apart from a single word, the jokes in the title cards are hilarious, and the return of traditional slapstick comedy is somehow very comforting.

The cast is what really makes this film. The comedic talents of Mel Brooks, Dom Deluise, Marty Feldman and Sid Caesar are brilliant, with hilarious cameos from 70s stars Burt Reynolds, Paul Newman, Marcel Marceau and Liza Minelli, this film is perfect for the whole family!
  
Justice Calling - 3 stars - 1st April

I wasn't too impressed with this first book. Not much happened apart from one curse that was affecting a handful of shifters and finding out about Jade's past with Samir, who I'm assuming will make an appearance at some point in the series. As for the romance with Alek, I wasn't really feeling it but that might change as the series progresses.

Murder of Crows - 3 stars - 3rd April

As with the first book not all that much happened and I'm still not 100% into this series, probably not even 50%. I think it's been 3 three months since the events of the last book and she's been spending most of that in Alek's bed but I'm still not feeling the romance in this either.<br/><br/>I don't think I'll be continuing the series

I'm not sure why so many people hated this book...it's kind of cute.

I tried reading the second one though and don't think I'm going to finish it...

If you are 14 then this is probably literature...LOL

Seriously though...solid 2.5/3 stars...not good but not horrible :c)
