Film 342/365, Day 354/365 – Groundhog Day

Excellent comedy from one of the masters, Bill Murray.  The concept is fantastic and watching Bill Murray’s attitude towards his predicament change from anger, to joy, to working out what he can get away with and then when he’s had enough and desperately tries to break out of the cycle.  Just brilliant.

Synopsis:  Phil, a weather man, is sent to cover Groundhog Day where a groundhog comes out of hibernation and predicts whether the winter will continue.  Phil was glad when the day was finally over only to wake up in the morning to find himself back at the start of yesterday and it keeps happening again and again and again!

Film 198/365, Day 211/365 – There’s Something About Mary

It’s still very funny, although not quite as funny as I remember it.  Sadly, I don’t think it has held up as well as Dumb and Dumber which will always be hilarious.  That said if you haven’t seen this then you really should be cause like I said it is still very funny.

Synopsis:  Ted never got to have his dream date with Mary at the high school prom due to an unfortunately zipper related incident.  Now Ted’s all grown up and still can’t get Mary out of his head so he hires a private detective to track her down for him.  But things don’t go quite as Ted planned.
