Independant short film "No Support" review

A depressed man is on the brink of suicide until two posters come and reconfine.  But all is not quitte how it seems. This short animated film takes a big half of the 4 minutes to get going and has a nice twist at the end.  Made by Rene Castillo and Antonio Urrutia.

"Adventureland" review


While the social network is on the big screen at the moment thought i would review the growing popular Jesse Eisenborg's previous film Adventureland.  Based in 1987 James Brennan (Jesse Eisenborg)  is left at home while his friends tour Europe due to his parents having money trouble.  Not being able to fund his holiday or his place in Columbia University he decides to get a summer job.  He finally finds a job at Adventurelad.  What seems to be a non exciting amusement park. Things goes bad to worst when hes put on "games."  A collection of rigged games where you will be fired if you give away the top prize.  Amusement owners Bobby (Bill Hader) and Paulette (Kristen  Wiig) are adamant the James stays on games however much he wants to be on "rides."  James befriends geek Joel and after saving him from being stabbed Emily (Kristen Stewart).  Ryan Reynolds plays handyman Mike Connell, who claims to have jammed once with Lou Reed.  James tries to grow closer to Emily unapparent she is seeing on and off Mike.  Not quite sure whats going wrong James accepts a date with Lisa P (Margarita Levieva).  Days later Emily's car is seen outside Mikes nans.  Things come to a head and James can finally see the bigger picture.  He spills all to Lisa P and asks for the information to go no further only for obviously the opposite to happen.  Adventureland is a comedy drama rather than an all out comedy.  Bill Hader is great as park manager and brings some laughs to the film.  Apart from that its an easy watch and a good story.  Probably not for you if you want an all out comedy but if you want to see an easy to watch film with a bit of humour then Adventureland is worth a watch.

"Classics" section honours "Dumb and Dumber"

Huge day as another regular is created.  The Classics section to what we at Jaydid Humour deam is the reason why we love comedies and love everything that makes us laugh.  Dumb and Dumber is definitely one of those films.  Never a scene passes without a laugh Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are true comedy gods in this classic movie.  A great soundtrack to match this film really did rocket Jim Carrey to not be just a two hit wonder after Ace Ventura and The Mask.  A story about Harry and Lloyd, 2 friends who have never had a break or a brain cell between them, as they chase Harry's dream of giving Mary's briefcase back that she left at the airport.  Every scene has it moments but its the scene with "murderous" Joe "Mental" Mentalino (Mike Starr) is classic.  Showing how annoying people can be Jim and Jeff really do bounce off each other.  Shame they got two idiots to do the prequel.  Even the ending is remember able.  If you have never seen Dumb and Dumber please buy it now.It really is a good feel hilarious ride start to finish.

Jaydid Humour Comedy Heroes #1 Danny McBride

Will often be mentioning our Comedy Heroes here on Jaydidhumour.blogspot.com and I'm proud to announce our very first Hero being Danny Mcbride.  Earning His place for his role as Kenny Powers in Eastbound and Down Danny McBride seems to be very underrated and hasn't had many "the main star of the film" films.  His main break was from self written film The Foot Fist Way where he plays Fred Simons a Taekwondo teacher. A film which thought would lead him to play more "the main star of the film" films.  But main side parts in comedy's Hot Rod (VERY WORTH WATCHING),Pineapple Express and Land of the Lost seem to be the most his got from Cinematic Films.  He has rather small parts but still steals every scene he is in in films Drillbit Taylor, Tropic Thunder, Fanboys and Observe and Report.  But as Kenny Powers a wasted ex baseball player who struggles to deal with his home town and everyone just not being star strucked by his presence he really does come into his own.  As the thought of season 2 nearly coming to an end I'm just glad a season 3 has been commissioned.  Just wish could be a 22 episode season but hey ho.  So Danny McBride Jaydid Humour salutes you.  "I'm Fucking Kenny Powers."

"The Other Guys" Review


Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg star in this cop comedy.  But as the movie starts its The Rock and Samuel L Jackson who start this film with a bang with a "Hollywood" over the top police chase.  The opening sequence is so enjoyable to watch and you almost seem to think why do we need Ferrell and Wahlberg.  Then all becomes clear why pencil pushers Detective Allen Gamble(Ferrell) and Detective Terry Hoitz(Wahlberg) get some time on the streets.  Its quickly apparent how opposite Allen and Terry are and Allens quiet comebacks to Terry are quite enjoyable to watch at first.  They are trying to get something on Sir David Ershon(Steve Coogan) but is really quite confusing why and what really.  The scenes with Dr. Sheila Ramos Gamble(Eva Mendes) and the main two are a joy as Allen doesn't see his wife being attractive where as Terry is infatuated and confused as to just how Allen has this woman in his life.  Michael Keaton(Captain Gene Mauch) gets a nice return to form in this film.  Mixing jobs as a baby birth tub boss and captain of the cops.  The Other Guys is worth a watch but is no where near Ferrell best.  I personally would have enjoyed seeing the Rock and Samuael class it up through the film as repeating my self the opening credits are just class.
