Family Guy: One If by Clam, Two If by Sea (2001)
Season 3, Episode 4
3/10
bad stereo-type American dribble of British
14 January 2014
i love family guy but i always get annoyed with this episode as the portrait of British people is probably the furthest thing from what we are like in real life, i get it is a cartoon and fictional but most Americans must think all of us talk with a posh accent i.e. sound like hugh grant, in fact only very small amount of people in UK talk like this and most other British people hate the posh sounding accent, also British pubs are nothing like this in fact most British pubs are more like the clam was originally.

the vast majority of the British population are working class people more like the griffin family, its not just this episode of family guy though allot of American shows don't represent very good British portrayals but never mind. Some funny moments in the episode just bad stereo-typical characters.

not as Bad as You all make out
9 June 2010
All the other reviews on here are calling this movie boring and useless. I have to disagree I laughed quite a lot as there are some really funny goofy gags in the film. Its not just a black film like others seem to say the white guy who played Oscar was very funny when he took what he thought was Valium and it turned out to be acid. Chris Rock always good, Martin Lawrence was also good and i was pleased to see Danny Glover as ain't seen much of him in recent Years. The only thing i would say is they should have give more thought to Luke Wilson's character as he didn't seem to be there for any real plot line and he is capable of a better performance as seen in OLD SKool.

Just watch it and don't believe everything you hear from critics make your own mind up.

Avatar (2009)
7/10
yea pretty great

Cameron is back at the helm, i am not going to say this movie wasn't good it was very good, exception SFX good acting acting and not a bad storyline. I still prefer Camerons older stuff such as Aliens which is a great movie but wont appeal to as wide of an audience as this did. Good cast, OK fantasy story, technically brilliant and a must see in 1080p high definition.

From my point of view this is the type of movie you will think is great the 1st couple of times you watch it then you will probably buy it on DVD or Blueray and not watch it that often but hey thats just my opinion.

Is definitely a refreshing movie and it depicts a captivating world so just go see it and be amazed the 1st time you watch it.

The Ringer (2005)
7/10
all round funny and goof comedy
19 May 2010
people who think this is a small minded movie and offensive need to get a life. This movie does not poke fun at disabilities, in fact it applauds those with special needs, the only character to be made to look stupid here is johnny Knoxville's character.

funny one liners, good acting and an all round entertaining comedy.

Just watch it u may be surprised, the plot isn't exactly brilliant the acting isn't Oscar winning but none of that matters, the film has heart and is very entertaining like most farrelly brothers movies with the exception of stuck on you.

well worth a watch

Training Day (2001)
9/10
Great Plot, Great Action, Great Acting
19 May 2010
They don't come much better than training day, you can take all the special effects from avatar and it still cant compete with this movie. The plot is gritty and will keep you entertained throughout the movie, the action sequences are also very good, well shot and well choreographed there are no over the top scenes which makes it very realistic. The script is brilliantly acted by ethan hawke but denzel steals the show here he makes the alonzo character his own and no ther acter could have played a better part.

There are also some good cameo roles from snoop dog and Dr. Dre all are played well.

One of the best films i have seen i watched it in 2001 and can still watch it today. It is a great portrayal of street life etc a must see!
