January 3, 2010 – First time viewing.
As comedy goes, I pretty much love anything workplace related: “Dilbert”, TV’s “Newsradio”, “The Office” (both UK and American versions) etc… and I certainly love Mike Judge’s “Office Space”.

This was my second viewing of the Coen Brothers’ “The Hudsucker Proxy”. The first time I watched it, I forced myself to sit down and experience it from beginning to end. For some reason, and I have my theories, it is always on [...]

Quite honestly, the first time that I had ever even heard of “Barton Fink” was right before my viewing of “Raising Arizona” a couple of weeks back. I watched the trailer for “Raising Arizona” right before I watched the actual movie [...]
