A Bit of Fry and Laurie season 1: Hello, funny funny funny. My favourite thing is how they'll have a perfectly normal, somewhat entertaining sketch, and then a completely off-the-wall hilarious last line.
Eddie Izzard: Unrepeatable: It's interesting -- a lot of the stuff that Izzard riffs on is pretty standard, but his delivery is just brilliant.
The Family Stone: I mostly watched this for Rachel McAdams, who was entertainingly bitchy. And the movie was fun. But Sarah Jessica Parker's character, were we supposed to like her? Because I got the impression that the screenwriter/director wanted us to think she was a bitch at the beginning, and then like her as she loosened up. But really, I thought she was uncomfortable, out of place, and not really trying at the beginning, and a nasty bigot by the end. Which I'm quite certain was not the point.
Ocean's Twelve: I don't think I even made it halfway through this, despite really enjoying the first one. I somehow missed the entire reason why they were doing the scam, and they all just seemed like they didn't even want to be there.
Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic: She's very funny. The best thing about her is how she totally owns everything she says. There's no sense of 'ha ha, I'm just joking'. Also, SONGS.
Slings and Arrows season 2: Do I even tell you how awesome this show is? BECAUSE IT IS JUST THAT AWESOME. Cyril and Frank are totally my favourite characters.
Titus: Ooh, this was neat. Directed by Julie Taymor, of Lion King fame, it's visually stunning and almost theatrical, without feeling like a film of a stage production. Her commentary was interesting, too, because every single thing she did had meaning, even if it clearly wasn't going to be obvious to the audience. Plus, Colm Feore, Alan Cumming and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers: a plethora of my boyfriends!
