Jim Carrey and Téa Leoni in Braqueurs amateurs (2005)

Braqueurs amateurs

  • Thankfully it's short

    This is one of those movies that's 80 mins, but I kept clicking the stream to see how much is left.

    Jim Carrey does his "drunk" act, the same one as in Yes Man. It's weird to watch because it's kinda funny but it's not how drunk people behave.

    Their son is such strange character, he's sometimes there, sometimes not and they don't seem to have much interest in him.

    Best part: when Jim falls from the ceiling onto the desk and floor, it's actually him getting nailed.

    Also, it feels like this is the precursor for "The Other Guys", another getting back at dodgy corporate pigs.

    I hope Jim Carrey makes one more great film.

  • My 3 year old loved it.

    This is playing at cinemas here in Melbourne, Australia. After 112 days of Stage 4 COVID-19 lockdown, cinemas are showing whatever they can it seems. The last film I took my son to was Sonic The Hedgehog in February, it's November now. I fell asleep at some point in this but was woken up by my son squealing with excitement and jumping out of his seat. It stars all the pups and they have "new machines!!!" (Jets) as my son kept saying. Your kid will love it.

  • Watchable, but good luck raising a smile.

    Being a big fan of Steve Coogan I was very keen to watch this show. But after three episodes I'm beginning to feel as numb as the characters.

    It's grating to hear Coogan say "Asshole" and "Lame-ass" in an American accent while the rest of what he says sounds British. It became glaringly annoying when the British-Indian character said "Arse" soon after Coogan said "Ass". I understand the trivial nature of this, but imagine an American actor suddenly saying "Mate" in an Australian accent while talking to another character, it'll be quite jarring.

    Kathryn Hahn character is painfully neurotic and its hard to feel any sympathy for anything the she says. Also the scene where she struggles to fit a parcel in her Jeep takes way too frustratingly long, I don't know if this was played for laughs or to portray the character as spatially inept?

    Having said all that, I guess the concept of watching dull, unpleasant people eek out their lives in such a soulless way can make us (or maybe just myself) feel better about life.

    The inclusion of animated inanimate objects adds a little bit of fantasy to the show, so there's another plus.

    It's annoying, crass, depressing, but I want to watch another episode.

    Danny's Egg

  • I think this is the film.

    I have a vague memory of watching this movie in primary school sometime in the 80's, but its a happy memory. The basic story is about Danny, a boy in a rural Australian school who finds an emu egg, not entirely sure how or why, but being a good kid decides to look after it by keeping it in a footy beanie and under a hot lamp. The rest of the film is hazy, I think he has to deal with bullies, parents and teachers, classic school scenarios and situations. However, the climax of the film has for some reason has Danny carrying the emu egg under his shirt in the school parade, it suddenly hatches and all the townspeople rejoice. Turns out this film is still Australian schools for a bit of history and for simply being a good story.

    Nostalgic at best.

    There could've been countless better endings to this.

    Jamie finds a piece of evidence and shows it to Angel & Quinn. Masuka does a quick google search check and sees all the sites Dexter has looked at and how they relate to countless murders? Dexter gets caught and kept in an asylum to be studied (and then to train, perhaps?) OR Deb just cracks it, shoots him & Hanna, leaving her to raise Harrison, who has homicidal tendencies.

    They're just the ones that popped in my head and without ego, they already sound more interesting.

    But we're left with a confusing, hastily wrapped up boring piece of dreck that leaves an opening for a TV movie or additional story but now without Deb, arguably the best character, wide enough to drive a truck through.

    This is as bad as the Sopranos ending and more disappointing than its final season.

    Thank god for Breaking Bad.
