Blackball (2003)
A crying shame, why Johnny, WHY !
Right, Im not going to bore you with the intricacies of this film, as there aren't any, you've got your basic formula for a cheap sports comedy:
Enter one washed out nobody, who happens to be the don of <insert sport> Said nobody gets big breakthrough, simultaneously falling in love with some random blonde. Said blonde happens to be arch rivals relation blah blah blah
That aside, this film has the staple cheap gags, and the occasional visual gag, but, it never lifts off, sure, it'll make you laugh, but at what cost!
If your a fan of Johnny Vegas, don't bother seeing this, he is wasted in this.
Overall, a boring comedy, with cheap laughs and a blonde or two.
2/10
Made in Britain (1982)
The makings of a brilliant British Actor
Having been a fan of both Tim Roth and Gary Oldman for quite some time, I made it my mission to see the films that started their careers, and this was the film for Roth.
Roth plays a out-of-control teenager, whos one step away from jail, and one step away from losing everything.
The story centers on Roth's actions and behaviour, most of which will make you laugh by todays standards, nevertheless, this is a perfect example of young british talent at its best, forget all the pretty boy actors nowadays, this is what makes an actor.
Despite what I thought it would be like, this film flew by, and enjoyed every second of it, I recommend it to those that enjoy seeing where actors came from, rather than where the pretty boys came from.
7/10
