100 Movies Meme - Part 3

Time for another update.

11. Zac and Miri Make a Porno: Does what it says on the tin. Two friends try to make a little cash by making their own porn film. Lots of Kevin Smith goodness, and a fabulous performance by Justin Long. Lots of laughs, but not for the sensitive or squemish.

12. Kings (TV): A contemporary retelling of the Biblical story of King David. This is about as far from Charlton Heston in a fake beard as you can get and, despite being a little dubious plot-wise, it looks like it could end up being fairly interesting. Most oddly, the show's idea of a long-running war is a line of guys in trenches facing off against a row of tanks, spaced a few metres apart.

13. Man of the Year: Going by the trailer, I was sure this movie was a pure comedy. Robin Williams is a talk show comedian who runs for President - and wins. There is actually a surprising amount of drama mixed in here, making this a little confusing to watch. There's a whole lot of Christopher Walken and Lewis Black, though, which is always good.

14. Castle (TV): Nathan Fillion. What? You want more than that? Okay, he plays a famous author who teams up with a female detective as inspiration for a new series of novels. Plenty of laughs, and Fillion is in fine form. I just hope it lasts more than four episodes. Much, much more.

15. Stephen Fry in America (TV): British comedian Stephen Fry takes a trip through all 50 of the United States... in a London Taxicab. Along the way he takes part in some delightfully American activities - lobster fishing in Maine, taking in the sights of Las Vegas, and helping make an Oscar statue in Michigan. Not all States receive the same level of attention, but it still an entertaining series which shows a side, or three, of America that not even many Americans might have seen.
