I Feel Pretty: DVD

I Feel Pretty Directors: Abby Kohn & Marc Silverstein Wonderland Sound and Vision/STXfilms When this was released there was talk of Schumer’s shaming – she had the body-image stuff all wrong; was tone-deaf. That’s probably the least of this film’s worries I would have thought. Well, I can say that, I’m a man. (I am […]

Amy Schumer: The Leather Special

Amy Schumer: The Leather Special Director: Amy Schumer Netflix I’ve liked a lot of what Amy Schumer has done – the best episodes of her show offered some sharp sketches but it hasn’t always been great; she seemed to ride a wave of popularity after 10 years or so in the game but there has […]

Amy Schumer – Live At The Apollo: DVD

Amy Schumer: Live at the Apollo Director: Chris Rock HBO Studios If you’ve ever wondered whether Schumer actually has the chops – away from her show and various appearances (roasts, talk-shows, podcasts) this is the latest proof, her 65-minute special for HBO filmed in May of 2015 and released at the end of the year. […]

Trainwreck: Film

Trainwreck Director: Judd Apatow Apatow Productions/Universal Pictures We’re at the point now where you expect a Judd Apatow film to be too long – speaking to Marc Maron months before the film was finalised Apatow was self-effacing when Maron straight away asked for the running time of the first cut, questioning whether it came in […]

Judd Apatow: Sick In The Head – Conversations about Life and Comedy

Sick in the Head: Conversations about Life and Comedy Judd Apatow Random House Seemingly out of nowhere Judd Apatow has become known as a saviour of comedy, as owner of a brand of sophomoric humour that’s also truly smart.
