Review: The Campaign

Considering his recent track record includes the likes of Due Date and The Hangover 2, Zach Galifianakis can count The Campaign as somewhat of an improvement as he plays a character that doesn't comes across as totally unlikeable for once. In fact Galifianakis' naive Marty Huggins actually manages to garner a fair bit of sympathy when is manipulated into abandoning all his principles to run for office.

Fans of Ferrell might be slightly disappointed though, as much like his George W. Bush impression, he has the voice and look down for a simple Republican Senator Cam Brady - he doesn't actually have that many jokes to back it up.

The lack of laugh out loud jokes or any memorable lines put it below the likes of middle of the road Ferell film like Blades of Glory, Semi-Pro and Talladega Nights - meaning despite being perfectly watchable once, The Campaign is completely forgettable.

TV Club #8 Beastie Boys - Fight For Your Right (Revisited)

The latest inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame were announced this week, featuring the likes of Guns N' Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Laura Nyro, The Small Faces/Faces, Donovan and New York rap trio Beastie Boys.

Looking back over their 30 year career, the hip-hop group has changed an awful lot since their 86' breakthrough Licensed to Ill, a point which the cameo-tastic Fight For Your Right (Revisited) makes better than anything else could.

Featuring the likes of Seth Rogen, Elijah Wood, Danny McBride, John C. Reilly, Will Ferrell, Jack Black, Susan Sarandon, Stanley Tucci and Will Arnett: this star-studded video picks up immediately after the original Fight For Your Right video and ends up in a dance battle with their future selves.

Review: Megamind

It seems the best Will Ferrell films these days are the ones where he takes a step away from crude man-child jokes. Here he drops the filth and in places it comes close to matching the same charm as Christmas mainstay Elf. On the downside Brad Pitt seems to be asleep/stoned or possibly both as the voice of rival Metro Man and the film would've been infinitely better with someone livelier in the voice booth.
