The Simpsons Movie (2007)

If you really love the Simpsons, then you have to love this movie.

[10/10 · 22 July 2007]

No doubt, this movie is as good as the TV show. There is an excellent story, which is entertaining in every single moment. The film focuses on the family Simpson, so you might miss some of you favorite characters like Sideshow Bob, Apu or Mr. Burns. But this really doesn't matter, because you can see these characters in the show and it is not necessary, that they appear a lot in the movie. Instead there are some new characters, for example the president Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is very funny. There is also a nice cameo of a very big star, which is very surprising.

Every joke makes you laugh. There are excellent quotes and great moments. Dan Castellanata does a very good job again. Homer is as funny as in the show.

The Simpsons Movie might be the funniest animation movie ever made. You can laugh the whole film through. For Simpsons Fan it will be the best of all feelings to watch this movie.

The Big Lebowski (1998)

One of the funniest movies I've ever seen: A triumph!

[24 March 2007]

Yesterday, I decided to watch this famous movie from the Coens, which they made after their brilliant "Fargo". I had not much expectations, because I thought it's impossible that they made another movie as good as Fargo. Indeed, it's impossible and it will always be impossible, but when one movie from the Coens is nearly as excellent as "Fargo" was, it's definitely "The Big Lebowski".

This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Pretty sure, the great actors make the movie as good as it is. I'm speaking, of course, about the best Jeff Bridges we've ever seen and the most brilliant John Goodman we've ever seen. Steve Buscemi has not such a big part as he had in "Fargo", but, thanks to him, there is a wonderful "Running-Gag", which is getting funnier and funnier the more the we hear it. To have actors like John Goodman, Jeff Bridges, Steve Buscemi and Julianne Moore in the same movie, is a great luck and a triumph!
