In fact, I like pretty much all of Judd Apatow’s gross-out-charming stuff. Leslie Mann is funny and Paul Rudd is… well, Paul Rudd. It has the obligatory Jason Segel appearance and another good turn from Irishman Chris O’Dowd.</p> <p>As with a lot of Apatow’s work, this checks in at over 2 hours, and nothing much happens in that time - there’s no story arc per se, you just gatecrash their lives for a while, so you’ll have to be in the right frame of mind. Won’t be to everyone’s taste, but I enjoyed it.</p>http://dothedancedothedance.tumblr.com/post/39955703121http://dothedancedothedance.tumblr.com/post/39955703121Mon, 07 Jan 2013 16:55:00 -0500movies I've seen in 2013this is 40judd apatowpaul ruddleslie mann<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/f085a754f390789c9dfff39e6ca74f90/tumblr_mg81chUhN01qkl6jio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Went to see this at London’s Prince Charles Cinema last night. <br/><br/>I can’t recommend it enough; it’s fucking hilarious.

Quite how the producers thought there was 98 minutes in this movie is beyond me. And the most pertinent point for me is this: it’s not frightening. Not whatsoever. There are two moments which may make you jump. That’s it. <br/><br/><br/>I understand how there are such a glut of found footage movies: they’re cheap. But found footage films are now old hat. In order for them to work they have to be original like The Blair Witch Project (which was groundbreaking), or to have a different angle like the Paranormal Activity movies do, when putting the action in the home of the protagonist. However, merely name checking those movies does not make something into some kind of Scream style Meta-horror. In fact, it just looks lazy.<br/><br/>I watch plenty of low budget, low expectation horror movies - I love them. However, this film just had me looking more at the time remaining than the screen, which demonstrates just how boring I found it.</p> <p>Cool picture though…</p>http://dothedancedothedance.tumblr.com/post/38323235514http://dothedancedothedance.tumblr.com/post/38323235514Wed, 19 Dec 2012 15:25:28 -0500grave encountershorrorhorror moviemovie review<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcve8fcAxF1r11falo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>No need for words</p>http://dothedancedothedance.tumblr.com/post/38023185335http://dothedancedothedance.tumblr.com/post/38023185335Sat, 15 Dec 2012 19:52:47 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/575572754bd6327bef220d8b57193750/tumblr_mf1nk85QTi1qkl6jio1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I just watched this bad boy.</p> <p>Really liked it.

They weren’t just there for the sake of it, but more to fill put the pre-existing storyline into context with what we know will happen in the future. Kind of like a Phantom Menace, but done much, much better.</p> <p>Martin Freeman is perfect and underplays the comedy to great effect. Somehow he manages to be exactly the same in this as he is in everything else (the Office, Hitchhiker’s Guide, Sherlock), but still be utterly convincing as Bilbo.</p> <p>and it was great to see Gandalf and Gollum again.</p>http://dothedancedothedance.tumblr.com/post/37938049235http://dothedancedothedance.tumblr.com/post/37938049235Fri, 14 Dec 2012 18:21:00 -0500hobbitLOTR<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdl0ntOhHy1rwlw84o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://aboutzombies.net/post/36077569078/the-walking-dead-rick-hello" target="_blank">aboutzombies</a>:</p> <blockquote> <h1>The Walking Dead: Hello, IT</h1> <p><small>Stills sources:<br/><a href="http://www.scifinow.co.uk/tv/who-was-rick-on-the-phone-to-watch-the-walking-dead-preview-clip/" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.scifinow.co.uk/tv/who-was-rick-on-the-phone-to-watch-the-walking-dead-preview-clip/" target="_blank">http://www.scifinow.co.uk/tv/who-was-rick-on-the-phone-to-watch-the-walking-dead-preview-clip/</a></a><br/><a href="http://www.tvrage.com/The_IT_Crowd/episodes/321337/recap" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.tvrage.com/The_IT_Crowd/episodes/321337/recap" target="_blank">http://www.tvrage.com/The_IT_Crowd/episodes/321337/recap</a></a></small></p> </blockquote>http://dothedancedothedance.tumblr.com/post/36128120424http://dothedancedothedance.tumblr.com/post/36128120424Tue, 20 Nov 2012 02:50:59 -0500the walking deadtwdrick grimeshelloit crowdlolmeme<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdc1nyN3Ed1r58875o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://dothedancedothedance.tumblr.com/post/35907832078http://dothedancedothedance.tumblr.com/post/35907832078Sat, 17 Nov 2012 08:51:16 -0500labyrinth
