Johnny English

Johnny English is a comedy film that is a knock off of James Bond, it is about a secret agent that gets into trouble and makes fun of himself along the way. This text appeals to me because it is hilarious and makes me laugh due to the resulting actions and the way the story unfolds. The way the story is told makes it seem serious at times but you know throughout it there will be funny parts that make the movie amazing. This video is not meant for all people probably for only those who like physical humour or like the acts of Mr.Bean. The reason a movie like this would be made is because they want to knock off the seriousness of say a 007 movie, and make it interesting in funny ways. The only reason I can think people can hate this is because they think it is stupid and is dumb movie, but for those some people it is a fun movie to laugh at. The controversy over the whole movie is possibly that the movie was based around the queen/king head of England, and that might have thrown some people that they based their movie around such stuff. The plot to the movie was deep, it had a good story line that was interesting to follow and with the indepth plot the comedic pieces were added in and made for a smooth ride. The part I did not like even though it was funny was when Johnny English went to far infront of the entire country of England and was trying to prove something he saw on the Arch Bishop of Canterbury's bottom. The entire video was well planned out and leads to an awesome movie for those who want to watch a hilarious comedy film the one and only Rowan Atkinson. Earlier this year they announced that a sequel Johnny English Returns is coming out Fall 2011. To me they left an ending to the first one so that there could be a second, but most like sequels they tend to be worse and make you wonder why on earth did they come back and ruin the attempt to make a sequel and make the first one look bad. I hope this new English film turns out as amazing as the first one. The first movie was really well done also with the special gadgets, with the high tech Aston Martin car, the tow truck and Aston Martin car scene and the crown jewels being stolen scene, I could go on but these are a few of the scenes that were highlighted in my mind. This to me is probably the funnier spy movies out there and I hope that if we watch a comedy in class Johnny English is a possibility because it is amazing.

Vancouver 2010 opening ceremonies

This video comes straight from the Vancouver 2010 Olympic ceremonies held in Vancouver. The Olympic commitee from Vancouver 2010 created this opening ceremony and then applied it for millions of people to watch live. This production appeals to me because since it was from Canada and so am I it was very interesting to watch and support your country from across its land. I liked how the presentation was set up, it really showed alot about Canadians and its history and how Canada came to be. The thing I did not like was how one of the flames arms malfunctioned during its rising to the occasion, but technology is not perfect. The audience is intended to those who wanted to follow the olympics and to those who wanted to support their country and watch it for no sake at all. The text told a very big story, it celebrated the opening ceremonies to the Olympics held in Vancouver but it also had an opportunity to take time to show off what Canada is all about. This is a World story news story, it showed the best winter atheltes in the World coming together to compete and to enjoy the time in Vancouver. The reason I chose this topic was because it touched me probably more than anyone close to me. I had the opportunity to head to the Olympics for a week. Though I wasn't their for the opening ceremonies, I chose the video because it brought our country together to welcome the world to our soil. I had a chance to see 2 hockey venues and a curling one. I had an opportunity to see Switzerland and Belarus play a hockey match. The curling I was able to see was the Canadian womens team that won silver, play Sweden. There were also other on going curling games but that was the most memorable one. Then I got to see the team that impressed us all the Men's Canadian hockey team. It was a luck of the draw that we got to see them we bought tickets for the Qualifying rounds and since Canada lost a couple days before we lucked out and got to see them play the gritty German's. It was truly a once in a lifetime chance to be at the Olympics, and I lucked out to see the best team from Canada win gold later on at the Olympics. The atmosphere in Vancouver was exciting, everywhere you went you could feel the hype of the Olympics and what it felt like to be Canadian. It truly brought Canada together then, but now you don't even hear a word about it. It really is sad to think it went from hype to nothing so fast. It was a great February and I'm glad I was able to see Bobby Lou and the guys play the game I lucked out to see.

WKRP in Cincinnati

WKRP is a television show from 1978 that based its episodes around a radio station. The show ran for 4 seasons and was very popular during its time. The show had 8 key actors that their own role on the show. The show wasn't based on one actors humour, the entire cast played a big role in how show ran. The show ran for 4 years on CBS for those interested in watching a hilarious sitcom. The techniques in the show ran from probably basic everyday radio production. It seems as though the radio station had those who worked for marketing, the owner, disc jokeys, and receptionist. The thing I like about this tv show is that it is really funny, everyone has their sort of part that makes the humour continue. The thing that I dislike is that the plots are small due to the show being based around a radio station. The audience is targeted for those who enjoy a laugh and who want to know what the news is according to Les Nessman. WKRP appeals to its audience because it is entertaining and gives you as good laugh. This televison show tells a story that is based on a struggling radio station. The series is a sitcom, it has qualities of comedy which propelled it to be popular for the time it did run. There are all sorts of different types of characters there is Johnny Fever, Johnny is a disc jockey that isn't afraid to speak his mind. The thing in the show that makes Johnny funny is that when he enters a room with people in it he goes in and then says "can i come in", that is funny or well atleast to me it is. Then you have the anxious, and worrysome Mr. Carlson, he is the station owner that doesn't like to go ahead with risks because his mom might come down and question him about it. Then you have the quiet smart person Bailey Quarters who is a shy girl in the show that has insight that is good for the station but no one really likes to take her advice. Then there is Herb who is the sales associate who 'is in charge' in his mind, and if he sees something he doesn't like he goes right to Carlson to tell him about it in a way that Carlson might agree with him. Then you have Les Nessman who is the stations news guy, he tells hourly news that would make you laugh because it is pathetic news to say the least. He is self concious and always seems to get picked on the most.
