The Actors (2003)
A fantastically funny film, low budget but brilliant
This film is a joy to watch and should do well on DVD and video. I suppose you really have to be Irish to appreciate the some of the subtlties such as accent, colloquialisms and the dress sense of some of the characters but let me assure you that when Dylan Moran impersonates 'Barreler' the impersonation is quite familiar to most people from Dublin because we have many characters in our fine city that look, act and talk like that! The sheer simple comedy employed and Michael Caines genius acting alone are worth the money but on top of this the plot is great, the script is fantastic and the dialogue fast moving and catchy. A perfect light entertainment movie without the madcap humour of Jim Carrey.
Happiness (1998)
Don't let the title fool you
This is supposed to be a dark comedy but quite frankly made me sick. I have a strong stomach, love violence and porn but the thoughts of child abuse and the sickening way in which it is treated in this film is disgusting. You are left with an empty feeling after watching this and while it is thought-provoking it is definitely not for kids or anyone who has ever been the victim of abuse.
