Will Ferrell

As of late, I've been on a Will Ferrell kick. I've just been ripping through his flicks. This all came to pass because I just bought Step Brothers with Ferrell and John C. Reilly. This is actually a very funny film. A lot of good one liners that stayed with me even days later. I ended up watching it a few more times before developing a fever for more Ferrell. "I got a fever, and the only prescription is more COWBELL!" haha sorry about that, that was a quality SNL skit with Ferrell. Anyone I went back into my DVD archive and pulled out: Anchorman, Semi-Pro, and Blades of Glory. This worked out well because Ferrell's "Your Welcome America: A Final Night With George Bush", just was just aired on HBO; if you haven't seen it do yourself a favor and check it out post-haste. Anyway Ferrell's flicks have a tendency to grow on you. Every time I watch one of his movies I like it even more and pick up and more and more subtle nuances. Anchorman is far and away the best film in his canon. From start to finish it is nothing but pure hilarity. I wasn't crazy about Semi-Pro the first time I watched it but since seeing it again I am on board and can vouch that it is good stuff. The only Ferrell comedy I don't enjoy it Taladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. I know I am in the minority here but I just don't think its funny, at all. I was so pumped to see it and when I finally made it to the theater I couldn't have been more let down. It serves me right for getting overly excited about flicks. I've found that it is best to try and keep my hopes reasonable because it can be easy to disappoint, especially with all the crapola that is out there these days. Aside from comedy, Ferrell is actually a quality actor. For those of you who have seen Stranger Than Fiction, you know what I'm taking about. The film is very inventive, creative, and well done. Ferrell is absolutely spot on as the character Harold Crick. Being on this Ferrell kick I have neglected one but mighty title. I have been saving it to cap off this little Ferrell-O-Rama I've been on. That flick of course is Old School. I can't say anything about this flick, it speaks volumes for itself.
