The Bobbs Beat: Movies with Peter

Top 5 and Bottom 5 movies of 2011 (that I've seen): Top 5 Bridesmaids One good thing we had plenty of this year (mainly during the summer) were adult comedies. After a drought of quality comedies in 2010 (can you remember any?) we were finally rewarded with funnies such as Horrible Bosses, Crazy, Stupid, Love, 30 Minutes or less and Paul. However Bridesmaids is the cream of the crop by far. This movie is painfully hilarious. All of female leads hold there own in their hysterical antics. Kristen Wiig proves she's got the acting chops to be funny but also hold the movie together with heart. Great comedy that is deserving of the praise it has received. Rango There have been quite a few quality computer-animated children films that have come out this year, but Rango isn't one of them. For those who actually saw Rango, you should know that it has too much violence and adult situations to be considered a children's film. While the movie is inhabited by talking anima...

Hi everyone. Just finished the TV series Party Down and wanted to share my list of my top 5 TV comedies. All of the shows must fit in the 30 minute time slot and be live-action. These are shows I can watch over and over and still thoroughly enjoy and savor the laughs. 5. Party Down There are a lot of stories out there about trying to make it big Hollywood. Personally I'm kind of tired of Hollywood self-reflexive nature. I think they take the saying "write what you know" too seriously. However Party Down is not all about trying to make it in Hollywood.

The staff is rude, crude and hilarious. The show adequately portrays the shallow and malignant underside of Hollywood without being preachy. Party Down has a humorous cast and great guest stars throughout it's two seasons. 4. Flight of the Conchords The ...

OK, I have not posted in forever, and chances are it will be a while until I post again, but I've been wanting to post a list of my top 5 movies for a while so I'll just do it. To clarify I've picked these movies because of their overall quality and their re-watchability. I'm not saying these are the best movies ever made, but if I was stuck on an island for the rest of my life with these 5 movies, I would be OK. That's how enjoyable each of these films are. Juno is my all time favorite movie. The cast is superb, the story is satisfyingly simple and the dialogue is hilarious. Every line that comes out of Juno's mouth is so clever and well written yet Ellen Page delivers it with such believability that you can't doubt her as a smart-ass teenage girl. The movie has so much heart in it. The focus on family and teenage innocence stick out to me in particular. And if you can make it through the part without crying a little where Jason Batemen tells Juno he'...
