Saturday Night Live: The Best of Jimmy Fallon (2005)
i love it!
I waited 7 suspenseful weeks for this DVD to arrive on my shores, and I can honestly say it was worth every minute! I haven't seen much of SNL so I have nothing to compare this 'Best of' with, but I know Jimmy deserves it. All the skits on this DVD are gold (except for The Leatherman because it features Britney Spears). My favourites are Weekend Update, The Barry Gibb Show, Z105, Cork Soakers and Jimmy's audition for SNL, which is included in the 'extras'. I felt like the biggest dork; sitting by myself laughing my head off. Jimmy is known for his great impressions - I'd heard his parodies before but this was the first time I'd seen his impressions. They're AMAZING! I bet my bottom dollar if you look away and just listen to his voice or hit the mute button and just watch him you'd swear it's Adam Sandler or Jerry Sienfeld. Jimmy Fallon is awesome. This DVD is on the top of my stack now.
Nobuta wo produce (2005)
The greatest drama I've ever seen.
This Japanese drama is nothing short of amazing! Having got addicted to it whilst I was in Japan, I managed to watch about 5 episodes there, and now have watched this drama countless times over the internet. Everything is amazing; from the acting, to the storyline, to the filming techniques. I never thought that such a simple plot of two Highschool boys producing the new student into the most popular girl at school could be made into something so interesting. My favourite character is Akira, and I can't praise YamaPi enough for how well he did this. Kamenashi also did a marvelous job on creating Shuji, and from the articles I've read, he really put a lot of thought into his character of Shuji. Not to mention Horikita's character of Nobuko (Nobuta); so realistic that when I see her out of character, smiling and being normal, I almost can't believe it. This drama made me feel so many emotions- happiness, sadness, loneliness, and inspiration. Overall, I think 'Nobuta wo Produce' is one of the greatest dramas I've ever seen- it had me falling out of my seat laughing, then staring wide-eyed at the screen crying. It's a story about friendship that stays with you for a long time. KON KON!
