Movie Review – Welcome To The Punch

Hello Funny One here. Today I went to the cinema with my sister to see the movie Welcome To The Punch. It’s about a former criminal, Jacob Sternwood (Mark Strong) He is forced to return to London from his Icelandic hideaway when his son is mixed up in a heist that had gone wrong. This gives detective Max Lewinsky (James McAvoy) one last chance at catching the man that he has always been after. As they face off, they start to discover a deeper conspiracy they both need to work out in order to survive… It’s a really good movie. The actors are really good. I thought the scene where Jacob finds his son was really well acted. Andrea Riseborough was good too. She doesn’t do cliché roles, she does different ones. I would give this movie 5 stars.

Funny One On The Baftas

Hello Funny One here. Last time I said I would talk more about the Baftas so here I am. Best film went to Argo. I haven’t seen this movie so I don’t know if it’s any good or not. Is it? Outstanding British film went to Skyfall. I thought that would win. It’s a great movie. Best director went to Ben Affleck for Argo. I thought Ang Lee was going to win it. Best actor went to Daniel Day-Lewis for Lincoln. He deserved to win. His performance was amazing. Anyways, Best actress went to Emmanuelle Riva for Amour. I’ve never seen and have no idea what it’s about. Best supporting actor went to Christoph Waltz for Django Unchained. Both him and Javier Bardem were great. So I was happy with that one. Best supporting actress went to Anne Hathaway for Les Misérables. I thought Dame Judi Dench deserved to win it. She was great in Skyfall. Anyone whose seen the Skyfall will agree with me on that. Outstanding debut by a British writer, director or producer went to Bart Layton, Dimitri Doganis for The Imposter. I have no idea what it’s about. I haven’t seen it. Best foreign language film went to
Amour. The only ones I saw that were nominated were Rust and Bone and Untouchable. I like them both. Best animated feature film went to Brave. I really don’t l;ike it. It’s so cliché. Best original screenplay went to Django Unchained written by Quentin Tarantino. He did deserve it. It was fucking awesome! Best adapted screenplay went to Silver Linings Playbook written by David O. Russell. I would have loved it if Life of Pi or Lincoln had won. Best original score went to Skyfall. I thought that would win. I knew Skyfall would win some. Cinematography went to Life of Pi. The cinematography for this movie was really was mind-blowing. Editing went to Argo. I thought Skyfall would have won that. Production design went to Les Misérables. there’s no way it’s better than Life of Pi. Costume design went to Anna Karenina. I thought Lincoln should have won. Sound went to Les Misérables. Really. Did they not hear Anne Hathaway singing? Obviously not. Special Visual Effects went to Life of Pi. What else would have won? Make-up and hair went to Les Misérables. Really? Did they not see Anne Hathaway? Short animation went to The Making of Longbird. Haven’t seen but I thought it might win. Short film went to Swimmer. Have no idea what it’s about. Is it about swimming? Documentary went to Searching For Sugar Man. And finally The Rising Star Award went to Juno Temple. That’s what happens when you let the public vote. Anyways, I’ll finish here for now.

Cuckoo : 6. The Wedding

Hello Funny One here. I’m going to talk about the last episode of cuckoo. Rachel and Cuckoo discover that their nude Thai ceremony on the beach wasn’t quite as official as they thought. In fact, they are not legally married. I was so excited to watch the last episode of cuckoo but was disappointed. It was ok but wasn’t as good as the other episodes. The other episodes were more funny. Also I don’t like Steve. Why would anyone hate Cuckoo? Anyways, Andy Samberg was good. He’s always though. The episode before, Connie sings was really funny and this was a bit of a let down. I did e-mail the BBC to ask when Cuckoo would be out on DVD and apparently there are no plans for it to be released. That’s shit. I don’t mind about the last episode but the other five were hilarious. Anyways, if you thought Andy was funny you should watch some of his movies like Hot Rod and I Love You, Man. He is so funny. Anyways, I’ll leave it here for now.
