Zohan - Irreverent Yet Hilarious
August 15, 2008
You Don’t Mess With The Zohan was released in Ireland today, so I escaped the damp weather by seeking refuge this evening in my local cinema.
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from Sandler. I knew it was a comedy about an Israeli commando who wants to be a hairdresser.
What I didn’t know, or expect, was that I would find myself literally laughing out loud. At some points I was almost crying!
Zohan is a farce. It pokes fun at Israelis, Palestinians, Americans and just about everyone else.
It takes political incorrectness to a whole new level. The stereotyping alone makes it worth going to see, as it is sheer genius.
The script, while a bit weak in parts, is hilarious. Some of the set pieces made me think of Monty Python in their heyday.
So what about the cast?
Sandler entertains and has great presence, while Emmanuelle Chriqui is simply stunning (she can act too!). Schneider does Schneider without really extending himself, but he doesn’t need to.
You may remember John Turturro from Mr Deeds, where he played the “super sneaky” butler, or as one of the agents in Transformers. This time round he plays Zohan’s nemesis, but of course there is a funny twist..
If you want literally a good laugh, then don’t miss it. I was having a pretty glum evening and it really cheered me up.

Superior Scandium Flueless Gas Fire
August 13, 2008
Now that you have your sleek Macbook Air, your 50″ HDTV running at 1080p and your 30″ Apple Cinema screen for your Mac you then turn to your old fire and think it’s time to make that look cool too. The Superior Scandium is a flueless gas fire which you hang on your wall and it looks absolutely stunning.
It measures 1055mm wide, 530mm heigh and has a depth of just 183mm making it very thin. It is made of brushed metal and is finished in Black Glass and Aluminium. With it being flueless it operates at 100% efficiency making it a good choice in all areas. The heat output of the fire is 3.5Kw and it requires no flue making it quicker to install.
The Superior Scandium is available from FiresGalore and currently costs £1067.01.
You Don’t Mess With The Zohan - Coming Soon
July 27, 2008
I have to admit to being an Adam Sandler fan. While his type of comedy may not suit all tastes (whose does?) I really enjoy kicking back and watching him in films such as Mr Deeds or Happy Gilmore.
His latest vehicle, You Don’t Mess With The Zohan, is set for release in August with trailers already showing in most Irish cinemas.
Sandler stars as Zohan, a top Israeli commando who fakes his own death in order to pursue his dream: becoming a hairstylist in New York. Though he wants to put his life of counter-terrorism behind him, he quickly finds that it is not so easy to escape one’s roots. As enemies old and new try to take him out, they will all come to learn the same thing: you don’t mess with the Zohan.
Sandler is joined by Emmanuelle Chriqui (pictured below)

Banlieue 13 - Ultimatum

According to EuropaCorp the sequel to Banlieue 13 is in pre-production.
A three month filming schedule in Serbia this summer, with a cinema release in 2009 has been announced.
Both David Belle and Cyril Raffaelli are rumoured to be involved, as is Luc Besson, but exact details are still a bit scant.
If the two principles of Banlieue 13 are involved I’d expect there to be plenty of action and parkour.
