My Favourite Movie Character of '08

The past year had some really enjoyable and unforgettable characters! We had the sexy Angelina Jolie in Wanted, the older Rambo and Indie Jones, Daniel Craig portaying the baddest James Bond and the annoying mini Will Smith or Jaden Smith in The Day the Earth Stood still. I'm going to start by saying that I bet everyone (or most) people will choose Heath Ledger's character of The Joker to be their most favourite character - and they should! I loved him playing the sadistic clown, and I would rate his version of the Joker as one of (or the most) chilling villans ever to be on silver screen.

I have to say though....I love a good comedy movie - they say laughter heals all things and I agree. But comedy films that have come out lately have barely made me crack a grin let alone bust out a giggle. I guess I was waiting for Judd Apatow and his crew to bring something good out after Superbad. I payed full price for You don't mess with the Zohan, Step Brothers and Pineapple Express and I felt really disapointed leaving the theatres. I wasn't satisfied with the amount of laughs I got from each of these films and starting to think whether Apatow would bring out anything as funny as 40year old virgin or Knocked Up. Alas - I finally got to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall on DVD. For those who have been deprived to see it, I seriously suggest you head to the nearest video store and get it out - better yet own it!!My favourite character:

Aldous Snow! (played by Russell Brand)

Even though he isn't the main charcter he steals alot of the scenes. I wasn't aware of Russell Brand before this film, he's won a few stand up comedy awards and was forced to resign after prank telephone calls on his radio broadcasting show lol. Sounds like a fun dude, and a really good cast for the character. Like BDiddy mentioned that she would watch Bolt for the hampster character alone, I would reccommend you to watch FSM for Aldous Snow. The other characters in the film such as Matt the waiter (Jonah Hill) and Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) contribute the overall hilariousness of his character. He has an awesome English accent, and some of the lines he delivers are killers!!

...and I love this song!!

Aldous Snow is just the funniest character of 08. He's not your normal Jim Carrey goofy character, where you've seen it over and over again. He's really original and I guess refreshing. I really hope Apatow keeps bringing out these types of characters. Let me know who was your favourite character!

"well, I haven't told you that I have Genital Herpes because its not inflamed at the moment.." - Aldous Snow. LOL
