The Big White (2005)
Where did this come from?
Reading through some of the other comments, a common train of thought seems to be "where did this come from?". I would class myself as a regular film go-er, and pride myself with my knowledge of up and coming films. Yet, I had never even heard of this fantastic movie! It was a chance encounter in HMV that lead me to this.
And, it is fantastic! Tim Blake Nelson and Earl Brown steal the show in my mind...if only every Hit-man were so inept! And, it was nice to see Robin Williams step back slightly, and tone his character down. Excellent choice! You really, really, really should watch this film, and see what so many others missed out on!
Blades of Glory (2007)
Perhaps overlooked?
When I first went to see this film, I went with three guys because we were bored and it was the only film showing. I had seen various trailers before viewing, and like other viewers didn't rate it. But, I found this film amazing! The constant battling of Ferrell and Heder over the minor issues of partnership (bunkbeds, sink space, manliness etc) were filled with amazing, seemingly improvised, lines! The chase scene was a masterpiece (listen for the hostage line!).
However, I asked the guys who I was with what they thought, and they said "It was OK. Not as good as Anchorman". That's were B.O.G's problem lies. The curse of Ferrell, making a darn good film seem tame, as viewers everywhere say "Anchorman was better". Is this excellent film forever going to be overlooked. Even my DVD copy states: "If you love this, you'll love Anchorman". It's a shame to think this film will be lost in the shadow of its predecessor.
