Evil sheep and surprising comedians...

Monday, March 10, 2008 8:44:24 PM


Both media things. The first is a newly released film fresh from New Zealand - Black Sheep . A delightful little horror-comedy. Sheep-cloning experiment gone wrong turns sheep and man alike to zombie/weresheep status, with plenty of funny things to keep the mood light. It really put a bright smile on my really bad day. Absolutely hilarious. Keep your eyes open for the mint sauce bit, too.

Secondly, Eddie Izzard . As a comedian, I find him very hit-and-miss, but - as with so many comedians, his prowess as an actor is superb... We have just rented season 1 of The Riches . I'd seen the adverts for it on Virgin 1 late last year, and I was intrigued by them to say the least. We're three episodes in right now, and it's very compelling stuff. It's weird how many comedians turn out to be great serious actors, isn't it? Jim Carrey, Robin Williams... Both of them make fantastic serious films. Ever seen One Hour Photo ? Brilliant acting by Robin Williams. Outstanding. Anyway, a good day for media! All three things are a must-see.
yes

Yee-haw!Rotting

Eddie (W)Izzard is one of my fave british comedians, I've never seen him in a movie though..I should rent one...sad

I think he has a (small) role in Ocean's Thirteen if I'm not mistaken smile.
