As this film stars many illustrious actors that I am a fan of, I was quite excited to see it, even though it is quite a silly one. Though it is silly and aimed at small children, I did quite like The Pirates! Band of Misfits.
The film follows the misadventures of the Pirate Captain (Hugh Grant) in his endeavours to be named Pirate of the Year. He is joined by a motley crew played by the likes of Martin Freeman, Russell Tovey, and Brendan Gleeson. They are accompanied by the instantly recognisable voices of Imelda Staunton and David Tennant, which really complete the cast well.
The story is a little stupid and childish, but actually quite creative. In every stop-motion scene, there’s always something to see that will make you laugh. It’s easy to think why the cinema was empty, but (unless they’d always seen it) everyone was really missing something wonderful. So I hope you all put aside the fact that you are all grown up, and enjoy a good 88 minutes of quality children’s film.
A recent study shows that slow paced cartoons like Caillou are better for kids’ brains than fast paced cartoons like SpongeBob.The study consisted of three groups of kids, one watched Caillou, the other SpongeBob and the other did reading, all for nine minutes. The children who watched SpongeBob scored an average of 12 points lower on a mental test than the other two groups.
What do you think? Do you remember watching Caillou as a kid? Tell us in the comments!
Today, Johnny English Reborn, the sequel to Rowan Atkinson’s original Johnny English film, has been finally been released. Here’s the synopsis:
Rowan Atkinson returns to the role of the accidental secret agent who doesn’t know fear or danger in the comedy spy-thriller Johnny English Reborn. In his latest adventure, the most unlikely intelligence officer in Her Majesty’s Secret Service must stop a group of international assassins before they eliminate a world leader and cause global chaos. In the years since MI-7′s top spy vanished off the grid, he has been honing his unique skills in a remote region of Asia. But when his agency superiors learn of an attempt against the Chinese premier’s life, they must hunt down the highly unorthodox agent. Now that the world needs him once again, Johnny English is back in action. With one shot at redemption, he must employ the latest in hi-tech gadgets to unravel a web of conspiracy that runs throughout the KGB, CIA and even MI-7. With mere days until a heads of state conference, one man must use every trick in his playbook to protect us all. For Johnny English, disaster may be an option, but failure never is.
And here’s the Trailer:
Although this movie hasn’t been publicized much, I think it’ll be almost as good or even better than the original. Anyway, how can you go wrong with Mr. Bean?
Before Mr Bean, Rowan Atkinson used to do on-stage comedy. Here’s our favourite below. There really isn’t much to say here, so we won’t spoil anything here, take a look yourself. NOTE: There is one swear word, and we are a G-rated blog, so take caution. The other Rowan Atkinson LIVE videos are may also be inappropriate for young kiddies. So mind you behave yourselves. Good luck!
