The Business (2005)
80s set gangster film with top soundtrack
I completely disagree with the vast majority of reviewers so far, this was a great film. Granted, it may be similar to other films of its genre, but the 80s settings were meticulous in my view. Spanish Guardia Civil with their feared (now banned) tri-corn hats, 80s cars, definitely NOT the modern Malaga airport, and the fashions and language used.
I left Cineworld feeling exhilarated - great soundtrack and good plot. I would recommend this film to anybody, Nick Love has done it again after the superb Football Factory. How can anybody call Danny Dyer Z-List?? Granted, he may be no Michael Douglas, but just because he is young, and obviously has a talent for the types of part he tends to play in movies, does not make him a bad actor at all, in fact, i think the exact opposite.
I will definitely be pre-ordering the DVD.
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)
Got quite a few laughs out of me!
Saw this last night, and I'm glad I did. I have realized, after seeing 'Old School' and hey, even 'Elf' that anything with Will Ferrell in it just has to be seen. I agree with other UK posters that some of the humour refers to US 'celebs' and phrases that we not familiar with, but the majority of it had me laughing out loud!
Yeah, agreed there were a few mindless gutter-humour parts, erection, vagina, etc etc, but hey you don't expect a movie like this to be highbrow. (Spoiler??) The bit with the group picture with Burgundy and Corningstone looking at the camera and distracting each other to do so had me in stitches.
All in all, a great movie, even though I don't pay-per-film to watch films, I would have paid to see this one !!
