Revolution Home Theater Film Review
Anchorman Reviewed by Bill Warren
Rating: Four Stars
The time, we�re told, is the 1970s, �a time before cable, when the local anchorman
reigned supreme.� The place is San Diego, and the anchorman reigning supreme is
Channel 4�s Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell). He�s a nice enough guy if a little
dense�he�ll read whatever is on the teleprompter without thinking about it�and he�s a
supreme egotist and womanizer. He also smokes like a chimney and downs tumblers of
Scotch, sometimes just before he goes on the air.
His on-the-street reporter is Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd), a Burgundy-in-waiting. The
sports reporter is crude, cheerful jock Champ Kind (David Koechner); the weatherman is
agreeable dimwit Brick Tamland (Steven Carrell). Together they make a formidable team,
the cornerstone of Channel 4�s prize-winning, timeslot-dominating 6:00 news. They�re
riding high, living large, partying hearty and swimming in the vast pools of their own
egos.

Revolution Home Theater Featured DVD Reviews
Zoolander
Most movies made from TV comedy sketches turn out to be mildly amusing at best and
painful at worst. Somehow, "Zoolander" escapes this curse with surprising zest.
Director/co-scripter/star Ben Stiller has a clear handle on the material, an ear for
the absurd and an unexpected sweetness that make his film a lot of fun.
Stiller�s Derek Zoolander is a top male model who may not be the hottest commodity in
town just now � that would be his competition, Hansel (Owen Wilson) � but he certainly
takes the prize as the dumbest bunny in the hutch. Derek�s dimness is precisely why
he�s hired by evil designer Mogatu (Will Ferrell). Mogatu and his sweatshop-owner
cronies have hatched a nefarious scheme to brainwash Derek into assassinating the
children�s rights-promoting Prime Minister of Malaysia at an upcoming fashion show.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
"Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back" proves Kevin Smith has got his finger on the pulse of
his audience. Although his humor is crude and often offensive in this movie, as in
other movies, Smith plays to his audience, inundating them with the things they took
their seats in the theater to see. At the same time, Smith takes shots at people,
corporations and entities that think too highly of themselves. He also ladles in a
healthy serving of social commentary along the way, which is not entirely the plan but
does come through in the writing.
Jay and Silent Bob are two characters Smith has worked with and around for years. In
addition to being movie characters, they�ve also been featured in comics. As all good
epic storytellers must, Smith has created a world large enough to spin out several
stories while keeping familiar touchstones that make return viewers feel instantly at
home.
