Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

Are you ready for the return of Ron Burgandy and his infamous news team? Well in case your not just know its kind of a big deal because the sequel is coming to theaters soon. The hilarious: Will Ferrel, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd and David Koechner are back at it and in character. All four main characters have been talking about it on talk shows and claiming it is better than the first. If that doesn't put you in a glass case of emotion, I don't what will.

By the way if you haven't seen the first Anchorman movie you probably won't be getting any of the references in this blog. And I would recommend you go watch it if you are a Will Ferrel fan. While some people think it is just a silly movie majority of people agree it was a funny film.

A fascinating part of it all is that most of the content in the original Anchorman is improvisation. The actors go in with an idea and then improvise their scenes. And while most comedy movies in the past have been completely scripted, I have noticed a trend in comedy movies where improvising is becoming more present. Actors need to have good chemistry in order for the film to be funny rather than just having a funny script. Obviously the Anchorman crew mesh so good together and that is why I think the movie was such a success.

Check out the official trailer here for a sneak peak at the film.

Dumb & Dumber 2 to be Released 2014

Anyone who has seen the first Dumb and Dumber movie would definitely be excited hearing that a sequel is being made called Dumb and Dumber To (No typo). The even better news is that they have the original writers and the two same actors playing Harry and Lloyd (Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels). The two stars of the movie tweeted a picture of themselves just this week in character ready to go.

The original Dumb and Dumber was released in 1994 and it is still, twenty-years later, brought up as one of the funniest movies to come out. The acting was incredible and it shows you just how hilarious stupidity can really be. Jim Carrey has kind of taken a break from comedy and it's very nice to see a legend back in action making a sequel to a classic film.

I think its appropriate to mention in this blog post that there was prequel made in 2003 called "Dumb and Dumberer". I found the movie pretty funny, however, it was not received well by critics and not even comparable to the original.

Oh yeah, i forgot to mention that Jeff Daniels even said that the Dumb and Dumber To (the new one) is going to make the original film look lame. If that doesn't set the standards I don't know what will. But as a fan all i have to do is wait patiently and be the judge myself.

If you haven't seen the movie... watch the movie. But if you don't have the time here's a clip.
