In Bruges is Martin McDonagh's first feature film after his Oscar winning short film Six Shooter. In Bruges stars Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farell as two hit men Ray and Ken, being told to hideout in Bruges and await further instructions from their boss Harry, played by Ralph Fiennes, in London.
The film has all of Martin McDonagh's traits and style, e.g Lots of cursing, lots of blood and violence and lots of black comedy. His style isn't for everyone and his comedy is defiantly not for everyone, however if he is for you you'll think he's the best in the world. But, aside from whether he's your cup of tea or not, you have to appreciate the storyline, the acting and most defiantly the script.
In Bruges is one of the best films to release in the last few years and defiantly 2008. It is an undeniable little gem that I'm sure people have missed. But since I've seen it, I've been hooked on what he's done previously and what he will do in the future. He's a brilliant writer and a great director and you can tell he works well with the actors as Colin Farell was brilliant in it.
Great film. 8/10

Friends was a massive TV show back in the late 90's and early 00's and is still regarded to this date as being one of the best TV shows ever created. It follows 6 friends and their lives living in Manhattan.
I'm young. And so, this show isn't so big anymore. But I still managed to watch every episode of every season and I must admit - I love it. The characters are great and are well acted by each. The story lines are very good and the jokes are hilarious.
I think the mid-seasons are the best, as they give Ross more funny episodes and the laugh track is used less. If I have one complaint it's this - The laugh track is used a bit too often. - A lot of the jokes are funny but not every little thing they say. However, they stopped using it so much as the seasons went on.
Each episode is interesting and they created characters we all love and are somewhat different. It is continuous with the laughter and I haven't seen a bad episode.

Dr Strangelove or: How I Learned How To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb. Is a satirical comedy made in 1964. It follows a mad US general as he begins to start a nuclear war against the Russians during the Cold War.
I found the film interesting and great for it's time. But I think it's regarded too high. As much as I hate saying it because I love every Kubrick film I have ever seen and A Clockwork Orange is in my top 5. But I have to admit that it isn't as timeless as any of his other films. It is funny, it is interesting to a point and it is good. But for my generation, it just doesn't sit right.
The jokes were funny and smart, but some flew over my head. Not because I didn't get them, but because they just didn't seem to land. I felt some of the actors, sort of, overacted. I'm not sure, it just didn't seem right. Although, as I said, It's great for its time and is good. But it didn't meet the standard I have come to expect from Kubrick.
7/10
