Absolutely Anything movie review: absolutely appalling
Subjuvenile and offensive, sentimental and ridiculous. Every attempt at a joke falls flat. Every talent here is wasted. Save yourself.
Monty Python
Boom Bust Boom documentary review: monkeys with money
From Monty Python’s Terry Jones comes an amusing, informative breakdown of just what the hell is wrong with the economy and a few ideas on how to fix it.
Seventh Son movie review: witches be crazy
Like Monty Python without the comedy, or at least without the intentional comedy. Jeff Bridges’ saving throw against the Phoning It In curse fails!
The Devil’s Violinist movie review: all the wrong notes
A hilariously histrionic depiction of 19th-century superstar violinist Niccolò Paganini’s rise to fame, far more Monty Python than Mozart.
Hercules movie review: he fights the lion!
Grading on the Ratner Curve, this is a positive triumph. The cheesy clichés are at least passingly entertaining. You could do worse.
The Diary of a Nobody stage review (White Bear Theatre, Kennington)
Wonderfully weird madcap nonsense: imagine Monty Python staging a Victorian sitcom.
Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues review: how news got broken
Far from perfect, but its humor is nearly Monty Python-esque, much more deliciously absurd and creatively bizarre than its predecessor.
Doctor Who thing: lost 70s story “The Moon of Madness” (shot in Scarfolk)
Scarfolk Council has noted the 50th anniversary with a reminder of the Tom Baker story “The Moons of Madness,” which was shot in Scarfolk.
like if George Orwell wrote Life on Mars
Or if Monty Python wrote 1984…
porn again? (The Look of Love review)
It’s a puzzlement. How did Michael Winterbottom make a film this tediously conservative?
