"Details of your incompetence do not interest me."

For this week only, I'm working at a magazine in the editing department, and so I've decided to list my top 5 movies that are about, well, working at a magazine. They're in no particular order by the way. Click the numbers to see the trailers.

Top 5 Magazine Related Movies:

1) The Devil Wears Prada - the first time I watched this, I enjoyed it. But after a second viewing, I wasn't so keen. There are a few laughs along the way but it isn't an amazing film.

2) 13 going on 30 - I really like this film; it's innocent and girly but it also teaches you a valuable life lesson: don't try and grow up too fast!

3) How to Lose Friends and Alienate People - Comedy genius, I love Simon Pegg :) Definintely watch this (but be warned, there's a dodgy scene with a trannie).

4) How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days - Ok so I'll admit it, I never watched the end of this film, but what I saw was actually rather hilarious. It's a really clever idea for a movie :D

5) Confessions of a Shopaholic - I quite liked this, it may have been silly at times and ever so slightly stereotypical towards women, but it was a fun film to watch with a group of friends.

Comments are appreciated :) honest.

"Come play with us Danny..."

Ok so here's the final instalment of my The Shining posts, enjoy :)
Oh and just so you know, some contain spoilers...

Top 4 spoofs of The Shining:

1) The trailer that makes the film seem jolly and upbeat, it's about picking smiley scenes, playing cheery music and having a friendly sounding voice over guy (Click here to view).

2) The family guy version of the hallway scene, not great quality though (Click here to view).

3) My personal favourite, the bunny version that sums up the whole film in 30seconds, the bunnies are pretty cute too (Click here to view).

4) The Simpsons parody of the shining is also funny: "No TV and no beer makes Homer go crazy" (Click here to view).

Hope you enjoy them, and let me know what you think :D

"REDRUM!"

I did warn you there would be more posts on The Shining...

Even though it is a horror film, there are loads of funny moments, and so I decided to list them:

1) Wendy's hideous yellow jacket/blazer (seriously, call the fashion police)

2) When Wendy talks to the man on the radio, the acting is so bad, it's like a badly scripted play

3) Danny's face and silent scream when he sees the twin girls

4) Danny's gollum voice and finger waggling as he talks to Tony

5) The way the music builds up throughout a scene and then 'Tuesday' appears on a black screen, I was expecting something a bit more thrilling than a weekday...

6) Danny's multiple jumpers (I like the Mickey Mouse one best) and clashing shirt collars

7) When Jack has a nightmare :)

8) The way Wendy runs while carrying Danny away after discovering the marks on his neck

9) When Jack walks down the gold corridor (just before he meets Lloyd) and he's so angry, it looks like he's doing some crazy dance moves :P

10) The whole "REDRUM" scene, the way Danny says it never fails to make me laugh!

Care to share your favourite funny moments? There are loads...

"Hey, Luke. May the Force be with you. "

10 Reasons that Han Solo is cooler than Luke Skywalker:

1) Han has the Millenium Falcon, and Luke...doesn't.

2) Luke has a tendency to go off and sulk (Episode 5 when he struggles with Yoda's training and goes off to sit in the swamp).

3) Luke whinges ("But I was going to go to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters!").

4) Luke wears a YELLOW jacket at the end of the fourth film.

5) Hans Solo can understand Wookies.

6) Luke kisses his sister, on the lips. I know he didn't know she was his sister at the time, but still...

7) At the start of episode 5, when they're in the rebel base on Hoth, Luke wears a giant nappy.

8) Luke almost wets himself when he finds out Darth Vader is his dad, I'm sure Han Solo would have been way more laid back about it.

9) In the bar where the two first meet, Luke gets bullied by ugly looking creatures while Han Solo slyly shoots a bounty hunter.

10) I haven't yet counted, but I'm sure Han Solo saves Luke's life more than Luke saves his.

Disagree with me? Let me know :)
