Likable, Though Not Loveable, Casanova
- Title: Casanova
- IMDB: link
The story of Casanova is told through a revolving humorous farce and a typical Hollywood love story. The farce works much better than than the love story and carries the film through most of its rough patches. A likeable little film just in time for the holidays.
Lord Jacomo Casanova (Heath Ledger) is a renowned lover who finds love in a different woman’s bed each night. As his fornications have come to the attention of Rome he is ordered to either marry or leave Venice. A marriage with the town’s pre-eminent beautiful virgin (Natalie Dormer) is arranged, but Casanova also finds himself enthralled with the outspoken Francesca Bruni (Sienna Miller) who is also hiding a heretical secret of writing philosophy under the name Bernardo Grudi and is engaged to the rotund lord of lard Papprizzio (Oliver Platt). Instigator Pucci (Jeremy Irons) arrives to find both find the heretic Bruni and punish the philanderer Casanova. Here begins the tale of tiny lies and small deceits, mistaken identities, and sticky situations (hey I had to throw one pun in!).

Forgetting Sarah Marshall on DVD
- Title: Forgetting Sarah Marshall
- IMDB: link
After a hard break-up with his girlfriend Sarah (Kristen Bell), Peter (Jason Segel) mopes around so much his step-brother (Bill Hader) puts him on a plane to Hawaii in hopes he’ll be able to move on.
His attempts are thwarted when he arrives at a swanky resort only to find Sarah and her new beau, ridiculous musician Aldous Snow (Russel Brand), also as guests. The sole bright spot in Peter’s personal hell is a beautiful hotel cleck (Mila Kunis) who, along with other members of the staff, attempt to get Peter back on his feet. For more on the story of the film you can check out Ian’s original review.
The script, although it contains many fun moments, is deeply flawed. Of all the characters only Peter, Sarah, and Rachel (Kunis) seem real. The rest of the cast is a group of characters created solely as one-joke characters, and almost impossible to take seriously.
