Knocked Out and Knocked Up

By Orlanda Brennan (15, Headliners)





Directed by Judd Apatow, 40 year old virgin
Starring Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl and Paul Rudd.

Knocked up is about a girl, Alison (Katherine Heigl) who recently gets a promotion at E!news and goes out to celebrate at night. She meets Ben (Seth Rogen), an unemployed male. They hang out and eventually she gets pregnant to him. It’s a funny tale about two strangers who try to get along and bring a baby into the world…I wont spoil the ending for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.

I recently went to see knocked up and it was very funny but I would not recommend it to any young couples going out on a first date. Some parts are not to be seen by really anyone as there is a whole birth scene at the end that some people just don’t need to see. It may ruin your appetite but that’s the only thing to criticise apart from the cursing. Overall it is a very good and entertaining film.

Bish Bash Boosh

By Hayley Andrews (15, Headliners)

A new wave of comedy has shaken the showbiz world; The Mighty Boosh has taken the conventional “Ha-Ha” pieces of Comedy and has combined it with a brilliant cast of characters that have taken the comedy world by storm. The Mighty Boosh is a weird and very complex show, which tells the story of two men, Vince Noir (Noel Fielding) and Howard Moon (Julian Barratt) that go on a range of strange and comedy-caped adventures. Critics have argued that the stage-based show is sheer “Youth” comedy, that’s in direct competition with award-winning recent classics “The Office” and “Little Britain”.

Nothing appears wrong with the hit-show but others differ in taste, calling it youth culture television and more distastefully, car-crash TV. But I am happy to say that I am slightly addicted to this show and I can not wait till the new series comes out in the Autumn of 2007! Keep your eyes glued.
