Ferrell to go serious again?

I was amazed when I saw the 2006 film Stranger Than Fiction. Not only was it funny, and not only did it have an amusing story, but it featured something I never thought I would see in a movie. Will Ferrell. ACTING. Not only that, but acting well! For the first time ever I actually cared about a character Will Ferrell played. And now the rumor has it that Ferrell will be giving this type of acting another shot in his upcoming film Everything Must Go. It has a simple enough story. A man is thrown out by his wife, along with all of his possessions, and he must now sell them all in a yard sale in order to get somewhere. While this could also take the usual slapstick approach for Ferrell, many think that this story could yield a more straight faced approach. This could very well be the thing that Ferrell’s career needs, after some of his recent movies, such as Semi-Pro and Land of the Lost, did not fare very well at the box office. If his acting ability in Stranger Than Fiction is any indication, then we could see some good things come about.

If you haven’t seen Stranger Than Fiction, but would like to see real proof that Ferrell can act, then pick it up here! Remember, it’s everyone who buys from here that keeps this site going!

Step Brothers, ridiculous and underrated.

Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly in Step Brothers

Okay, so I recently saw the Will Ferrell/ John C. Reilly movie Step Brothers. I had extremely low expectations, because let’s be honest, Ferrell’s work hasn’t been that great lately. He’s been repeatedly playing the same kind of oafish and childish characters for years, meanwhile Reilly has an Academy Award nomination under his belt and has serious acting to fall back on. But whenever you get those two together, it’s just comedic gold.

I’m not even going to deal with the plot of the movie. This film’s plot is uniform, but that’s what makes it hilarious. It takes what could’ve been a normal and dumb comedy, and instead breaks any chains of realism and logic that would hold any other comedic team back. They take clean cut actress Mary Steenburgen and has her dropping F bombs in the middle of a truly ridiculous fist fight between Ferrell and Reilly. The film pulls no punches and does not bind itself to logic, instead requesting that the audience suspend their disbelief for the sake of a big laugh. No, the movie’s not for everyone, but if you know what you’re getting when you watch Will Ferrell, then you’ll love it.

If you want to give the movie a shot, then here’s where you could get a copy. Just remember, you probably know what you’re getting into, lol.
