William Goss. Stripped of almost all the brothers' usual crudeness, Fever Pitch proves what we've suspected all along: That beneath the gross-out gags and freak-show humor, Peter and Bobby Farrelly are just a couple of lovable romantics. David Germain. The film turns out to be a substantial pleasure as the spirit of the Sox shines through. Joe Morgenstern. It's slickly done, pleasantly watchable, Fever Pitch despite Barrymore's ever-charming earnestness, not quite a home run. Trevor Johnston. Sandra Hall. Barrymore has rarely been so bright and effortlessly charming, but it's all Fever Pitch on Fallon, who often resembles one of Fever Pitch unfortunate SNL guests who freeze up on live TV, completely out of their element.

  • A Comparison of Nick Hornby's High Fidelity and Juliet, Naked
    Hugvísindasvið Modern Love: A Comparison of Nick Hornby’s High Fidelity and Juliet, Naked. Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Arnar Ásmundsson Maí 2011 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Enska Modern Love: A Comparison of Nick Hornby’s High Fidelity and Juliet, Naked. Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Arnar Ásmundsson Kt.: 230476-4389 Leiðbeinandi: Ingibjörg Ágústsdóttir Maí 2011 Abstract In 1995 Nick Hornby published his first novel, High Fidelity, a story about obsession, love and the complications of modern life. Hornby published Juliet, Naked in 2009, where he tackles similar topics to those in High Fidelity. A key difference between these novels is the presence of the Internet in Juliet, Naked, which is not featured in High Fidelity. A comparison of Juliet, Naked and High Fidelity offers an interesting insight into Hornby‟s vision of life before and after the spread of the Internet, and how it has affected the characters‟ obsessions, communication and their lives in general. This essay is, however, not limited to the changes the Internet has brought, as other topics are discussed in the essay‟s several chapters. The first chapter is a general introduction and is followed by a chapter containing background information on both Hornby and the novels, as well as illustrating how these novels were received by critics. The third chapter tackles a dominant theme in both books, obsession, especially male obsession with popular culture. The ensuing chapter deals with love and its complications, and how it is presented in both novels. The fifth chapter focuses on the Internet and the benefits and limitations it brings to modern life.

  • Hall Pass – Bios for Prelim Notes
    HALL PASS Best buds Rick and Fred (Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis) have both been married for many years. When they begin to show signs of restlessness at home, their wives (Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate) take a bold approach to revitalize their marriages: they grant the guys a “hall pass,” one week of freedom to do whatever they want. No questions asked. At first, it sounds like a dream come true for Rick and Fred, but they quickly discover that their expectations of the single life—and themselves—are completely and hilariously out of sync with reality. “Hall Pass,” a new comedy from the Farrelly brothers (“There’s Something About Mary,” “Dumb and Dumber”), stars Owen Wilson (“Wedding Crashers,” “Marley & Me”) as Rick, and Jason Sudeikis (“What Happens in Vegas,” “Going the Distance”) as Fred. Jenna Fischer (TV’s “The Office”) stars as Rick’s wife, Maggie; Richard Jenkins (“Step Brothers”) as the guys’ old friend, perpetual bachelor Coakley; and Christina Applegate (“Going the Distance,” TV’s “Samantha Who?”) as Fred’s wife, Grace. “Hall Pass” is directed and produced by Peter Farrelly & Bobby Farrelly, from a screenplay by Pete Jones & Peter Farrelly & Kevin Barnett & Bobby Farrelly, story by Pete Jones. Re-teaming with the Farrellys are producer Bradley Thomas and executive producer Marc S. Fischer, who collaborated with the Farrellys on their hit comedies “There’s Something About Mary” and “Shallow Hall.” Also serving as executive producers are Toby Emmerich, Richard Brener and Merideth Finn, with co-producers Mark Charpentier and John Rickard.

  • “I Want to Contribute to the Creation of the Warsaw Ghetto Museum”
    “I want to contribute to the creation of the Warsaw Ghetto Museum” Charles B. Wessler, American producer of, among others “Green Book” – a comedy drama directed by Peter Farrelly, which was awarded three Oscars and three Golden Globes, supports the creation of a permanent exhibition of the Warsaw Ghetto Museum. Especially for us, he answered a few questions. In 1994, Wessler jumped in at the deep end of production in Hollywood with the comedy “Dumb and Dumber” by Peter and Bobby Farrelly, with whom he established a long-term cooperation. It was with the Farrely Brothers that he produced “There’s Something About Mary” with Cameron Diaz, “Me, Myself & Irene” with Jim Carrey, “Shallow Hal” with Gwyneth Paltrow, “Stuck on You” with Matt Damon, “The Heartbreak Kid” with Ben Stiller, and “Hall Pass” with Owen Wilson. His latest production, “Green Book” with Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali, brought him critical acclaim and the reputation of the Oscar producer. This movie is set in the realities of the American South – apart from the scenes taking place in New York – in the early 1960s, focuses on the relationship of a black pianist and his white chauffeur, a former club bouncer. The movie is against stereotypical thinking and intolerance, and for acceptance of one’s roots. Charles B. Wessler family’s roots go back to eastern and western Europe. His grandparents from the mother’s and father’s side came to the United States in the years 1908 to 1918. “One grandmother comes from Belarus, the second one from Germany. Grandfather Jack came from Poland and the second grandfather from Austria,” says the producer.

  • Nick Hornby's Melancholy Comedy
    31 x ANDREW TATE Nick Hornby's Melancholy Comedy [M]elancholy animals that we are, human beings are also the most cheerful. We smile and find ourselves ridiculous. Our wretchedness is our greatness. (Critchley 2002, 111) Four strangers, each depressed enough to seek a swift, violent end to their lives, fortu- itously meet on New Year's eve on the roof of a north London tower block callously nicknamed Toppers' House, a dwelling notorious for its high-rise suicides. This colli- sion of disparate (and desperate) individuals, united only by their shared desire to die, might be either the starting point of a very sick joke or the culmination of poignant melodrama. Yet Nick Hornby's A Long Way Down (2005a) does not quite belong to the capacious family of genres labeled "tragic" nor is it a taboo-transgressing satire about the contingencies of precarious mental health. Hornby's fourth novel is a story of loss, anomie, isolation, loneliness, disappointment, failure, and disastrous ethical choices – all signifiers of tragedy, to be sure – but it is also, despite the bleak subject matter, full of laughter, diffident wit, chronic non-self-awareness, farce, incongruous friendships, ill-advised holidays with virtual strangers, awkward family reunions, creative swearing and other tropes of comic fiction. Martin, a shamed former breakfast television presenter, and the only member of this unlikely quartet of thwarted suicidal narrators to be recognized by his new ac- quaintances, reflects on the odd (at least temporarily) salvific outcome of that even- ing: "I'm not sitting here now because I suddenly saw sense.
