Proof, that when not running around in his pants screaming and shouting and generally being a bit much, the guy can do serious.

I was all set to use my unparalleled exclusive access as an iTunes customer to review the new Beastie Boys short film that came with their new album, but then I realised it was on YouTube and you could watch it for free. Durr.

The Other Guys
Before leaving the house this morning to see Will Ferrell's 403rd high-concept comedy this century, I quickly glanced at today's Guardian, the film and music section to be more precise, where the esteemed film critic Peter Bradshaw gave The Other Guys an unprecedented 5 stars.

Review: Land Of The Lost

Land Of The Lost
Hollywood is fascinated with making movies from old TV shows. There's nothing wrong with that - we all enjoyed the Star Trek, Jackass and South Park movies, right? But when rubbish TV shows are rewarded with their own rubbish movies, there's something not quite right. Get Smart? Dukes of Hazzard? Lost In Sodding Space, starring ...

Review: Step Brothers

Step Brothers
There is literally zero chance of anyone walking into Step Brothers and not knowing what to expect. Here are your dead give-aways. Will Ferrell. John C Reilly. Anchorman director Adam McKay. Yes, Step Brothers is basically a free reign for the curly-haired duo to act like screaming man-children, free from the constraints of stor...
