Staff Choice: Man of the Year
We’ve waited a while to see Robin Williams back in his original comic form but finally he has made it home in Man of the Year.
The movie is packed full of one liners and at times seems like a one man stand up show. It could be considered a little self
indulgent of the comic genius but he is quickly forgiven. Although the romantic/thriller sub plots blend into insignificance,
take this movie for what it is, a political satire and if you are a Robin Williams fan you’ll enjoy it.
It is in our opinion
his best comic role since Mrs. Doubtfire (excluding Happy Feet of course). Man of the Year is an entertaining and at times thought
provoking movie and a show case of Robin William’s intelligent humour.
Sex and the City
May 30th 2008, book your seats for the must see movie of the century for Sex and the City fans that is!
It’s been much anticipated since the TV mode of Carrie and co. left us with the fabulous last word.
There’s still is another 21 days to go but for all you die hard fans you can catch up on some vintage
SATC through screenclick.
For all you out there that have some how managed to escape the clutches of
Carrie , Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda then you are in for a treat. Rent Sex and the City now for
hilarious, outspoken and outrageous look at dating, mating, and relating in New York. Only then will
you truly understand.
