Film 345/365, Day 358/365 – Megamind

A heart warming hilarious story.  Megamind is a fantastic character with his mispronunciation of words and unsuccessful attempts to be evil.  If you like Despicable Me then this will be right up your street.  Will Ferrell is excellent as the voice of Megamind.  Great fun.

Synopsis:  Megamind, a devious supervillain, finally destroys his nemesis Metroman but finds life without him to be unfulfilling and ultimately pointless.  Determined to rediscover his purpose he creates a superhero to do battle with.  Unfortunately the superhero turns out to be more of a supervillain than Megamind.

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 144/365, Day 154/365 – Step Brothers

Uncomfortable with occasional moments of actual comedy.  There are actually some very funny moments in Step Brothers, unfortunately they are quite few and far between.  For the most part it is just very awkward to watch.  The premise itself is ridiculous.  I like Will Ferrell but sadly he was at his funniest in Old School and has been unable to match that since.

Synopsis:  Nancy and Robert met at a medical conference and instantly hi it off.  They had so much in common, both still have a live at home son, both of the sons are in their fourties!  Things went so well that Nancy and Robert eventually got married and now they are moving the family into one home.  It’s going to be interesting to say the least.
