Office, The - The Christmas Specials

November 22, 2009 - 8:31 pm No Comments

This 2-part Christmas special has become a television legend and rightly so. Do not bother to see if you have not seen the series proper, although, as you will not feel the full impact.

The first part is almost tragic in his portrayal of David Brent sad life after the office, from his appearance dressed as Austin Powers at a nightclub to sit alone in a hotel for a drink. The documentary style Office, The - The Christmas Specials makes it more convincing, but at the same time, it is odd moments that make it so fun. The second part of Dawn is back to the office Christmas party - but does so in a happy ending for everyone?

I could not tell you! He could have done with a bit more than the Gareth hilarious stupid, and again a little less annoying colleague Tim, but little fun, but otherwise flawless.

Churchill - The Hollywood Years

As a concept that you can see why this movie could have made a success - creating a ‘cult’ classic fun of the Royal Family, the Nazis and British stereotypes all in the name of irony. However, the sheer and utter nonsense that has passed as a script means that there Churchill - The Hollywood Years so little fun for the whole thing. Moreover, failure to use such great British comedy talent - from the likes of Harry Enfield, Reeves and Mortimer, to say nothing of Rik Mayall is nothing short of ridiculous.

A complete waste of time and effort, people just laugh people the income from it.

The Brothers Grimm

The Brothers Grimm The Brothers Grimm has a great premise, the brothers Grimm played incredibly well by Heath Ledger and beaten and some n lose by Matt Damon, lived experience of many fairy tales he wrote. Should make for a ripping good adventure, one for the whole family, but unfortunately the only person with enough originality to conceive this idea is also a little irregular director who likes to scare the children, the results are quite irregular, so the film is not suitable for young (pre-12) or nervous children. Have a good start is a bit confusing about 2 thirds of the way through and almost a scratch after ending still reeling from the scene of the gingerbread man.

The saving grace is Heath Ledger, every second of every scene that gives his all and just commands your attention, is really a way to become one of the greats of his age. I want a more mainstream (read to incorporate healthy) director had his hands on this and a mature form in a classical family.
