Adams Apples

Ivan is an insanely optimistic preacher who takes in convicts to help around the remote, rural church he ministers to.

His current charges are a psychotic Saudi immigrant addicted to robbing gas stations and an alcoholic tennis pro convicted of sexual assault.

His newest helper" is Adam, a vicious neo-Nazi anxiously biding his time before he can return to hell-raising. Asked to set a goal for his stay, Adam sarcastically answers that he'd like to bake a cake.

Ivan cheerfully takes that statement at face value and puts him in charge of the parish's pride and joy: the only apple tree in the vicinity. Grasping the extent of Ivan's crazed, preternatural determination to look on the bright side of everything, Adam immediately decides to shake him out of his rose-colored stupor.

Anders Thomas Jensen puts a whole lot of the world into one environment and stirs it up to make a great black comedy beyond compare.

Flight of the Conchords: The Complete First Season

Master of the gag delivered ever so patiently and deadpan to a discerning fan base of 1.

Got to admire these guy's balls! Taking themselves to the world (USA) I guess is the place. I keep watching more and more and think perhaps they are educating the US and letting them learn how to chill!

I laugh and squirm at the same time. True ambassadors, forget the politicians these dudes get my vote. Unashamedly kiwi blokes not seen something as good since the comedy genius of Fred Dagg.

However this flight is far from landing I would say!

Heartbreak Hotel

A gem of a movie. It seems the treatment of this subject matter from Hollywood would have perhaps been to make a situation comedy and barely plausible outcome that you're meant to suspend belief.

I was expecting a man bashing session as so many movies in the past decade or two have dealt with divorce in this manner.

One is dropped into the lives of two different women both with similar circumstances.

The enjoyment of this movie is the realness of it all. This could be true. As a book does makes you believe. Not suspend belief to conform to the directors whim.

All in all a great mature movie.

I recommend watching with your wife/husband/partner or even ex....
