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. Either that or he’s just the guy who makes movies half an hour too long. But […]

Louis CK: Live at the Comedy Store

Louis CK Live At The Comedy Store louisck.net Louis CK’s latest special is an hour of brand new material – developed at the smaller clubs, bits and pieces he’s pulled together possibly after doing his main set elsewhere.

Louis CK: Live At The Comedy Store

Louis CK: Live At The Comedy Store Director: Louis CK louisck.net Louis CK returns with his latest comedy special, an hour of new material – by now among the many things he’s known and revered for is the fact that he turns around new material year in, year out. He won’t go on the road […]

American Hustle: DVD

American Hustle Director: David O. Russell Columbia Pictures Perhaps the greatest trick this film plays is that it has conned its audience either way, polarising to create gushing rave reviews and awards on the one hand and strange – almost nonsensical scorn on the other. People seem to either loathe or love this movie and […]

Blue Jasmine: Film

Blue Jasmine Director: Woody Allen Gravier Productions/Sony Pictures Classics Woody Allen is on a roll again it would seem – first with Match Point (that brought in a few people new to Woody’s world/prepared to forgive him for any of the “silly” comedies) and then with Midnight In Paris (that brought in everyone, apparently) – […]
