Film 146/365, Day 156/365 – Zoolander

Endless sarcastic gold.  Zoolander is stupid, really, really ridiculously stupid but he means well which is probably why he is so funny.  Will Ferrell is fantastic as evil fashion designer Mugatu.  So many brilliant moments, I must however admit that I didn’t instantly love it, but after a couple of viewings you see so much more each time.  Genius comedy.

Synopsis:  Derek Zoolander is really, really, ridiculously good looking, but is that enough?  He has just lost out to his younger rival in the top model awards.  Desperate to get himself back on top he agrees to be the face of Derelicte, unaware that he is actually being brainwashed to kill the Malaysian president.  Will he realise in time to stop himself?

Film 11/365, Day 9/365 – Cars

For Lightning McQueen the Piston Cup is all that matters, and in his rookie season he is tied for first place with two other racers. To decide the winner a special race is organised in California. On his way there Lightning accidently ends up in Radiator Springs, a small desert town, where he might just learn that there is more to life than racing. Will Lightning be able to leave Radiator Spring and make it to the race in time?

Will Pixar ever get it wrong? It doesn’t look like it! Cars is by no means as strong as Wall-E, Toy Story or The Incredibles, but is still thoroughly enjoyable and a very good movie. The wonderful thing about Pixar films is that the characters are always so fantastic, so much so that you almost forget that it’s animated, which is always flawless by the way!
