Filmmaking for the Terrified

Advantages: In-depth information, covers everything
Disadvantages: Prices mentioned are US dollars

...;♦♦ "Filmmaking for Dummies", written by Bryan Michael Stoller, is designed for anyone who is interested in filmmaking professionally, in any capacity. It covers every aspect of the filmmaking process, from coming up with the ideas to distributing your finished film, so you could be reading this book if you want to be a screenwriter, a lighting technician, or even a marketing manager for a production company. Bryan Michael Stoller is (I quote) "an international-award-winning filmmaker, who has produced, written and directed over 80 productions". Who better to write a book like this? I personally had never heard the name Bryan Michael Stoller, and when looking him up, I have never seen any of his work - not exactly Steven Spielberg - but nevertheless, he appears to know his stuff. Just like the rest of the "For Dummies" series, "Filmmaking" is...

Review of Filmmaking for Dummies - Bryan Michael Stoller

Oh, would you like to pick out the outfit that you break up with

Advantages: Hilarious, Rudd, HIll, the script
Disadvantages: Didn't really want to see Segel full frontal......

...to find myself laughing lots and actually feeling for some of the characters. The direction from Nicholas Stoller is quite good, and no doubt a certain element of it was letting these guys get on with their own thing. This sort of film requires a bit of letting go with the main cast - it's what makes them good at what they do. Overall, it's the sort of film I would recommend watching if you like silly comedy that doesn't go too far like others have commented films such as Pineapple Express, Knocked Up, etc have done. Forgetting Sarah Marshall is very funny, and will keep you watching. I recommend giving it a go, it's hilarious....

Review of Forgetting Sarah Marshall (DVD)

I need to B my L on someone's T's .. !

Advantages: Extremely funny, Russell Brand!
Disadvantages: Men will find the male full frontal nude scene somewhat offensive! :)

...Forgetting Sarah Marshall was released earlier this year, and is a directing debut by Nicholas Stoller. The movie stars little known Jason Segel as the main character, who also wrote the film. The movie also stars Kristen Bell, Mila Kunis of 'That 70's Show fame, and also well known British comedian Russell Brand. The movie is centered on a devastated Peter Bretter (Jason Segel), who has recently been dumped by his long time celebrity girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell). In order to come to terms with the break-up, Peter goes on a vacation to Hawaii to try to clear his mind, and forget about his new ex. Unfortunately for him, Peter arrives at the hotel to find that Sarah Marshall has also checked in to the same hotel .. with new boyfriend, and British rock sensation Aldous Snow (Russell Brand). Peter's plans to get over Sarah...

Forgetting this not too funny comedy

Advantages: some funny scenes
Disadvantages: not enough fun for me

...I had some free time yesterday evening and after hesitating on which film to watch I decided to give a go for Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I read a few reviews on it previously, so I was curious. This comedy was directed by Nick Stoller. The classification is 15 years and over. There are some scenes with nude characters and sex actions. Main Roles: Sarah Marshall - Kristen Bell Aldous Snow - Russell Brand Peter Bretter - Jason Segel Rachel Jensen - Mila Kunis Brian Bretter (Peter?s brother) - Bill Hader Plot Sarah Marshall is a very popular actress. She plays a role in Crime Scene police show. Peter Bretter is his boyfriend for five years. Peter is a composer he composes the music of the crime show Sarah plays in. Peter is quite bored with this job. He stays at home in complete disorder and its cereals all day. It seems that he has...

Are Those Sad Tissues Or Happy Tissues?

Advantages: An incredibly funny Romcom that ticks both boxes
Disadvantages: Perhaps Russell Brand if you don't like him

...was pleasantly surprised that the advert we'd seen previously was in no way an accurate representation of how funny the movie actually was. The clips turned out to be quite tame and the movie itself is one of the funniest films I've seen in a long time. There are a couple of very adult moments that make it unsuitable for younger viewers but other than that it was a movie that had the entire cinema laughing out loud on many different occasions. It is the debut film for director Nicholas Stoller, following a bit of work writing movies. As a debut effort it is particularly good and his choice of locations and use of the glorious scenery to create certain situations really works well. In particular the scene between Peter and the hotel receptionist Rachel is exactly the sort of thing that a romantic comedy should have. The film flows nicely...

Amazing film - Better than parodies!

Advantages: Fantastic funny film, contrasting stereotypical characters make this a treat.
Disadvantages: Not many, perhaps it gets a bit riddiculous sometimes but that is it.

...'s too late, he has revitilized himself and his love for Mila is perpetual. I througoughly recommend this fantastically funny film to everyone, the actors are pure genius (did i mention Jonah Hill is in it?) and it is a very well thought out funny original script by Stoller which is a lot better than the rubbish parodies we are served up most of the time, the stereotypes in this are hilarious and they are sure not to disappoint. Thanks for reading and buy this movie :)...

Quinny Buzz 3-Wheel All Terain Buggy

Advantages: Comfortable, stylish, durable
Disadvantages: Heavy, expensive

...service - once a screw on one side broke and I contacted Dorel customer services and they sent out two new screws free of charge within a couple of days. d) Three different rear-facing seat positions, from practically flat to almost sitting, mean that you can keep the baby rear facing until he/she is quite old. e) You can get a muff/cosi-toes to fit, which looks like an integral part of the buggy and really keeps them very warm indeed. f) The rain cover is good - it fits right over the buggy, but has a square opening in front of the baby so that in the rear-facing position you can still see them/talk to the them easily. The disadvantages are: a) it is obviously much heavier than the very light stoller-type buggy. I do take it apart and put in the boot of the car a couple of times a week and am now quite used to it, but...

Review of Quinny Buzz

A great solo album from the 80's.

Advantages: It's Donald Fagen
Disadvantages: The sound quality is pants!

...In between recording with Walter Becker the seminal albums “Aja” and “Gaucho” under the banner of Steely Dan, Donald Fagen recorded this masterpiece of audio art. The afore mentioned album called the “The Nightfly” runs at less than 40 minutes long and has 7 self-penned tracks and has 1 track written by the legendary song-writing partnership of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, their song “Ruby Baby” is clearly the most commercial sounding on the whole album, the collection was arranged by Donald Fagen and on production duties was the same producer as the man who had produced all the Steely Dan recordings Gary Katz. As the album opens up with the track ”I.G.Y.” (International Geophysical Year) the “electric piano” playing of Greg Phillinganes creates a retro sound...

Review of Nightfly, The - Donald Fagen

Segal certainly had balls, we know, we saw them!!!

Advantages: A very funny film
Disadvantages: None unless you object to naked men

...Paul Rudd as Chuck Jason Bateman as Animal Instincts Detective William Baldwin as Himself 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' was released in 2008, directed by Nicholas Stoller and written by one of the actors in the film - Jason Segal. The film is rated 15 (sexuality, scenes of full frontal male nudity and explicit language) and runs for 111 minutes. Peter Bretter (played by Jason Segal) is a thirty-something musician whose job is writing dismal music for a TV police show, Crime Scene, that stars William Baldwin as a detective. For the last five years he has been in a relationship with the beautiful star of the very same TV show, Sarah Marshall (played by Kristen Bell) When Sarah tells Peter that there's another man in her life, and she's leaving him, he is broken-hearted ( hence the hilarious scene were Segal bares all as he stands...
