Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues
Writers: Will Ferrell and Adam Mckay
Release Date: 18th December 2013
Hot Rating: 💥💥💥
In Adam Mckay's return to the comedy that gained his acclaim as a master of the genre, the director manages to keep his narrative contained. The flute-playing Mr Burgundy himself (Ferrell) helps Mckay's screenplay to extend, rather than reinvent, its previous successes. In these progressions, the overarching chemistry between the Channel 4 news team is stronger than ever, with Paul Rudd adding some crude brilliance as Brian Fantana. In terms of production, Fatima Robinson's choreography matches the new expansive NYC setting and keeps the action fluid. Despite its safe adherence to its period comedy tropes, the film has a habit of exhausting its laughs come the conclusion. Of this weakness, the hilarious, yet bloated fight sequence in Central Park pushes even the most loyal of fans to boredom. In delivering much of the same humour, the sequel upholds its fanbase, even if its ambitions are set at this low bar.
The Big Short
Writers: Charles Randolph, Adam Mckay and Michael Lewis (based on the book by)
Release Date: 22nd January 2016
Hot Rating: 💥💥💥💥
Adam Mckay's pursuit of The Big Short is a story of contemporary cinema legend; Paramount studios only agreed to produce the film under the condition that he made the sequel for his 2004 comedy Anchorman. However, none of these obligations appear present in The Big Short, which earns every second of its 132-minute running time. The razor-sharp editing of Hank Corwin ensures that the film plays with the same velocity as the stock traders that feature in it. Furthermore, Mckay's ability to direct the film's multiple protagonists ensures his ability as a master of both slapstick and drama. Of the former of these themes, when the crash comes, the satire runs sparse, and the film's tonal shifts overwhelm our previous enjoyment of the humour. Nonetheless, the biopic tropes of the fourth wall and temporal stamps maintain a story that feels as globally relevant as the crisis did ten years ago.
