Serendipity [2002]

starring: John Cusack|Kate Beckinsale|Molly Shannon|Jeremy Piven
directed by: Peter Chelsom

Release Date October 07, 2002
This is a great feel good romance to be enjoyed by big boys and girls alike, curled up together on the sofa. It is all about fate and whether two people are meant to be together. The signs are always there to guide us in love and life, but will you see them or be able to read them?

John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale who take excellent parts, are out Christmas shopping and meet when both try to buy the last pair of black gloves in Bloomingdales. Destiny has brought them together and they hit it off straight away. They go for a coffee, spend a little time together and both feel that there is something special between them, but neither is free!

The gorgeous Miss Beckinsale, full of fun and life, hits on a plan to let fate ... Read More:

Marie Antoinette [2006]

starring: Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzmann, Judy Davis, Rip Torn, Rose Byrne

Release Date February 26, 2007
This film brought home to me why I pay my TV licence (reference to the BBC and good period drama's), as a period drama it was completely unbelievable, whether it was the American accents, or modern dialogue, or may be even the modern sound track, it just doesn't work.
With regards to the story line, the only good thing I can say about this film is, that it left so many unanswered questions that I had to spend longer on the internet finding out what actually happened, than I did watching the film. Then I realised how much was just skipped over giving a completely false impression of Marie and the current situation.

Never Been Kissed [1999]

starring: Drew Barrymore, Michael Vartan, David Arquette, Molly Shannon, Leelee Sobieski
directed by: Raja Gosnell

Release Date June 19, 2000
Nice easy to watch film, passes the time and a bit more. Drew Barrymore, I find, is sweet and appealing as an actress but never too much, can usually enjoy watching her, and that is the case here too. She carries the film along, and David Arquette is good fun as her brother. Enjoyable and with a happy ending but not too sweet, just.

The Grinch

starring: Jim Carrey, Jeffrey Tambor, Catherine Baranov, Molly Shannon, Rachel Bailit
directed by: Ron Howard

Release Date November 29, 2004
This film is hillarious.
The Grinch is a green hairy fella who lives with his dog. He hates Christmas and all things nice.
I have watched this film so many times, and i still laugh out loud every time.
I highly recommend this film to anyone who wants a funny, feel good Christmas movie, to watch with all the family.

Happiness [1999]

starring: Jane Adams (II), Jon Lovitz, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Dylan Baker, Lara Flynn Boyle
directed by: Todd Solondz

Release Date May 15, 2000
A very intelligent and funny movie. It addresses some very human weaknesses in a very uncompromising way. This is one of the rare movies that shows human behaviour without trying to conform to what is socially acceptable. The only thing missing is the narrative by David Attenborough.

Gray Matters [2007]

starring: Molly Shannon, Alan Cumming, Bridget Moynahan, Heather Graham, Rachel Shelley
directed by: Sue Kramer

Release Date August 13, 2007
I really can't fathom it out, but I can warn any lesbian viewers in search of a nice cosy night in with a groovy DVD to AVOID THIS FILM! It's truly appalling, so much so that I've given it 2 stars for so-bad-it's-almost-funny cringe value.
To confirm what other reviewers have said, the lead character, Gray, is totally lacking in credibility. Perhaps she imagines herself as a cutprice Goldie Hawn only without Goldie's acting ability. or charisma. or timing.
It's not credible enough to be a gay film, not well-acted enough to be a good mainstream rom-com, and has no sex scenes so will diappoint sleazier viewers. Which is why I ask - who is it for?

Analyze This [1999]

starring: Robert De Niro, Billy Crystal, Lisa Kudrow, Chazz Palminteri, Kresimir Novakovic
directed by: Harold Ramis

Release Date April 03, 2000
I've just watched 40 minutes of this film and had to turn it off. This is the first time I've ever done this while watching a DVD. I had no interest in what was going to occur or how this film would end. It was disturbing to see a wonderful actor like Robert De Niro playing such a unfunny or unbelievable character as this. Clearly this film was cashing in on the early success of The Sopranos but doesn't come anywhere near the quality of the script of it. A disappointing film that was unbearable to watch.

The Muppets - It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie [2002]

starring: The Muppets, Molly Shannon, John C. McGinley, Carson Daly, Kelly Ripa

Release Date November 06, 2006
I am a huge fan of the muppets so I ordered this the minute I realised that it was out, when I watched it I was really disapointed at the few funny jokes there where and how the plot line seemed feeble and weak, not worthy of the muppets, the ending wasn't right for me and didn't even seem to make sense (you make up your own mind about this remark if you ever watch it)

The basic plot line is that the morgage payment is due on the muppet theatre and Kermit and his friends will be evicted by the evil banker if it isn't paid in time.

This only gets 2 stars from me because it was very very bad compared to the earlier films by the muppets, this one to me seemed like a way to just squeese money out of the franchise without a thought towards the plot line.

The Grinch [2000]

starring: Jim Carrey, Jeffrey Tambor, Catherine Baranov, Molly Shannon, Rachel Bailit
directed by: Ron Howard

Release Date November 19, 2001
The Grinch feels like a movie made for two reasons: to cash in on Christmas. And to cash in on Dr Seuss.

The movie lacks charm. Nothing really works within it. Carrey's performance is tolerable, but I think Seuss would be mortified at how they've portrayed his character. The Whos of Whoville are some of the creepiest make-up jobs I've ever seen. Although I'm not surprised they made it screen looking this eerie, since Ron Howard is the director, and I've yet to be impressed by anything he's put on screen.

The one saving grace of this film is some really nice portrayals of Christmas-y landscapes. They do a great job of evoking that warmth and wonder of Christmas season.

Aside from that, this is a pretty bad film, and the over-sentimentality is almost ... Read More:

Superstar - Dvd [1999]

starring: Molly Shannon, Will Ferrell, Elaine Hendrix, Harland Williams, Mark McKinney
directed by: Bruce McCulloch

Release Date January 22, 2001
There's not really much to say about this film, apart from it is just plain terrible. I have not seen the character on Saturday Night Live, so do not know if it is similar - but this film just isn't a good comedy at all. Will Ferrell is the only funny thing about it and even then, he doesn't have a massive part in the film. I do not understand how watching a school girl make the sign of the cross with a stupid sound at the end and then fall on to her bed saying, "Superstar....." can be classed as funny. And then be funny after you see her do it many times over and over. Molly Shannon is actually funnier in Taladaga Nights, which is a small part, than she is in this entire film.

Other reviews have given this a really good rating. Saying that it's the funniest film they have ever ... Read More:
