Having unsuccessfully tried to sell his soul and his sense of humour on e-bay, (neither made reserve) Lawrence Leung has had to come up with different means of supporting himself. His new stand-up show, which documents Leung's attempts to out-cool his brother, oscillates between self deprecating humour and egotism as he tries to adopt the attitude of a true B-Boy.

Black Sheep
New Zealand. Killer sheep. The genius of this kind of high-concept is that it lets the poster alone tell you everything you need to know about BLACK SHEEP. (Of course, it all falls apart if there’s only emptiness sitting behind the high concept. Last year, all we wanted were snakes. SNAKES ON A PLANE.
Knocked Up
Someone needs to put Kevin Smith on suicide watch, because KNOCKED UP is the film he’s been trying to make for years. He fails because he can’t balance his bawdy comedy with anything like actual emotion. (Or, in CLERKS 2, anything like actual humans.)
The man behind the surprisingly sweet THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN and the much-loved (and cancelled after a single season) TV series FREAKS AND GEEKS has shown Smith how to do it right in this new comedy juggernaut.
I do
Everyone loves a French film. There’s something about the accent coupled with the anticipation of unexpected nudity that puts even the best of us on the edge of our seats. We can tell you now there’s no nudity in I DO, but there is an awkward scene involving love-toys and leather.
The romantic comedy follows hardened bachelor Luis (Alain Chabat), whose overbearing mother and sisters constantly pester him to find a wife.
Tom Goes to the Mayor
From the crazy, nonsensical cartoonists at the Adult Swim network in The States, TOM GOES TO THE MAYOR is one of the weirdest yet. So weird, that it divided Adult Swim viewers more than any cartoon in the networks' history. People either loved it or absolutely despised it. Me? I loved it, so was thrilled when they released all 31 episodes on this handy three disc DVD set.
For Your Consideration
When Christopher Guest - writer of THIS IS SPINAL TAP and WAITING FOR GUFFMAN - releases a new film, you can’t help but feel both excited but burdened with the weight of expectation. You expect wit. You expect loveable, awkward characters. You expected EUGENE LEVY. And thankfully, you get it (and them) all.
