New Post has been published on http://www.movieemporium.co.uk/2013/05/17/the-rise-of-chris-odowd/ The Rise of Chris O’Dowd The last few years have seen this Irish funnyman’s popularity sky rocket – in little over five years he has gone from being ‘that neurotic Irish guy from the I.T. Crowd’ to a success on both sides of the Atlantic, starring in Universal’s Bridesmaids and HBO’s Girls. So what is the secret to his success? It’s simple. O’ Dowd has that rare quality of being one of those celebrities you could easily go for pint with. His latest role sees him voice a creepy crawly, Grub, in Twentieth Century Fox’s new adventure comedy, EPIC which is released in UK cinemas later this month. To celebrate, we’re taking a retrospective look at his career to date. Festival (2005) Festival is a 2005 British black comedy film about a number of people at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, directed by Annie Griffin. Chris plays Tommy O’Dwyer, an Irish stand-up who tries to seduce local radio host Joan Gerrard. O’Dowd’s efforts resulted in him receiving the BAFTA Scotland award for Best Actor in a Scottish Film. The IT Crowd (2006 – 2012) Chris is probably still best known for his role in this Channel 4 sitcom about a bunch of I.T. geeks. His character Roy – so laid back he’s practically lying down – spends most of his time playing video games, reading comics and goofing around as opposed to doing any real work. How to Lose Friends and Alienate People (2008) O’Dowd took on a small cameo role alongside Simon Pegg, Jeff Bridges and Megan Fox in this 2008 British comedy film based upon British writer Toby Young’s memoirs. This fish-out-of-water story follows Young’s five-year struggle to make it as a writer in a high profile American publication. Although the film was not warmly received, it was O’Dowd’s first major foray into Hollywood. The Boat That Rocked (2009) Set in 1966, it tells the story of the fictitious pirate radio station “Radio Rock” and its crew of eclectic disc jockeys, who broadcast rock and pop music to the United Kingdom from a ship anchored in the North Sea. O’Dowd plays “Simple” Simon Swafford, Radio Rock’s breakfast DJ who marries the too-good-to-be true Elenore only to learn that she is actually in love with another DJ, Gavin. Gulliver’s Travels (2010) O’Dowd played General Edward, the bad guy and Gulliver’s tiny Lilliputian arch-nemesis in the 2010 adaptation of Gulliver’s Travels, alongside Jack Black, Jason Segal and Emily Blunt. Bridesmaids (2011) Chris played the nicest traffic cop you’ll ever meet in Judd Apatow’s Golden Globe nominated comedy. Nathan is Kristen Wiig’s love interest – he’s the kind of guy who like, accepts you for all your quirks and flaws… and buys you cupcake ingredients. The role won O’Dowd the IFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor. GIRLS (2012) O’Dowd has a small cameo in Lena Durnham’s cult hit GIRLS. He plays Thomas John, a dissatisfied suit and affluent venture capitalist who has a secret passion for DJing (rather badly) on his corporate laptops. Although she initially spurned him for his corporate un-coolness, he goes on to marry Jessa at the end of Season 1, only to break up a few episodes later. The Sapphires (2012) Based on true events, the story sees a group of four young Australian aborigine sisters from a remote mission propelled to singing stardom after their discovery by Dave Lovelace (played by O’ Dowd), a talent scout with a kind heart, very little rhythm but a great knowledge of soul music. Dave secures the sisters their first gig, and flies them to Vietnam to sing for American troops. This is 40 (2013) The ‘sort of sequel to Knocked Up’ sees O’Dowd play Ronnie, one of Pete’s employees at their small and niche record company. Ronnie and Pete’s musical incompatibility mean that the company is falling on hard times and burning a huge hole in Pete’s finances along the way!

New Post has been published on http://www.movieemporium.co.uk/2013/05/15/fast-and-furious-6-review/ Fast and Furious 6 - Review Fast and Furious 6 is like a NOS fuelled version of it’s earlier counterparts with Director Justin Lin back in the driving seat he took this franchise up a notch in every possible way. Reuniting the old crew once again Fast and Furious 6 picks up where 5 left off, post heist, the old ‘life’ behind them, but a spanner in the works arrives with Hobbs demanding the crews help to capture a criminal gang. Fuelled by images of Letty running with this crew the family reunite to do what they do best. From the off you know that this film is going to be a homage to the previous films, the opening credits revisit the past Fast and Furious films and instantly set a tone and drag you back into the world of these now very familiar characters. The storyline may be simple but it is effective, and there are a few curve balls thrown in to keep you on your toes. The characters motivations are clear and thanks to 5 films that have gone by before there are plenty of self referential moments which will put a smile on your face. Writers Chris Morgan and Gary Scott-Thompson have had a lot of fun with this script. The jokes are frequent, in fact a lot of the laughs come from the more ‘serious lines’ however these are so undeniably cheesy that you won’t not laugh! The action has also been pumped up a good few notches and with Vin Dielsel, The Rock and some serious girl power in the form of Michelle Rodriguez and Gina Carano you will go in expecting some serious muscle, and get it. The action has also been pumped up a good few notches and with Vin Dielsel, The Rock and some serious girl power in the form of Michelle Rodriguez and Gina Carano you will go in expecting some serious muscle, and get it. The fights are more frequent, bigger, better and pack a bigger punch than before, and although there are moments that will have you rolling your eyes, you will also be smiling. The stunts too have got bigger and more impressive. Graduation beyond just suped up cars the film is literally explosive. Rebounding between huge car chase scenes, comedy moments, fights and explosions the film should feel non stop but there are a few slower moments which can at times break you out of the rush you are otherwise getting. While some of the actors performances are far from Oscar worthy, they are familiar and don’t feel out of place with the backdrop. If you go in to Fast and Furious 6 to see a serious action film you will probably be disappointed, this film is all about fun and it undoubtedly delivers. That being said the stunts are impressive, if a little ridiculous and will keep you from tearing your eyes from the screen. Bigger, faster, louder and frankly more absurd this newest addition to the franchise is going to thrill any true fan and is unashamedly good fun! 4 out of 5 New Post has been published on http://www.movieemporium.co.uk/2013/05/14/i-am-breathing-global-screening-day-21st-june/ I am Breathing - Global Screening Day 21st June I AM BREATHING is a documentary about the thin space between life and death.
