    Funny People with Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen etc...<br />
    <br />
    Really strong first hour then it fades. Hard.<br />
    <br />
    The stand up comedy is really good, apparently the Director got them to write their own material. Sandler is really starting to get some good roles these days... wonder when/if we'll get Happy Gilmore 2 - The Tigers Tale!<br />
    <br />
    First half = 8/10<br />
    Second half = 3/10

    Yeah, it went from being an interesting funny film, to quite forumulaic.<br />
    <br />
    Would have been better if [spoiler:280ukmgi]Sandler had died instead of getting better[/spoiler:280ukmgi]

    Saw the Soloist the other night. Really strong performances from Robert Downy Jr and Jamie Foxx and a true story. I say story, but it's more of a slice of life deal. Very good portrayal of mental illness on screen though, very disorientating at times.<br />
    <br />
    Oscar bait written all over it though, which can be a bit trying.

    In the Loop - promoted as the funniest British comedy in years. Which I guess might be the case if you think hearing someone say fluffybunny a lot is side splitting<br />
    <br />
    Save yrself $15 and go to one of those insullt generating web sites as thats the one piece of humour in the movie - one of the characters rants well but talk about tiresome.<br />
    <br />
    3/10

    I am normally a fan of Sandler, but alot of his movies follow that formula; very funny first half, weak through to the last 5 or 10.

    (500) Days of Summer. A romantic comedy/drama about a guy who falls in love at first sight with a girl who doesn't believe in love. The film is presented in a non linear fashion, and hops around in random order through various events of their courtship. One of the better flick I have seen this year (along with The Hurt Locker).

    Well, due to a disagreement with the director.

    Sean is a dead set legend and a guy I'd love to meet someday but it can't be denied he has been in some absolute shitters of movies. <br />

    Zardoz I think. Sean Connery is easy to categorise. If he has hair in the movie avoid it like the plague
