UK Vs. US: Battle of the belly laughs
- 02 Sep 2009
While Richard Curtis’ comedy The Boat That Rocked sails onto DVD, Judd Apatow’s aptly titled Funny People is already making waves on the big screen. Curtis’ comedy set in the swingin’ sixties on a pirate (radio) ship, is an ocean apart from Apatow’s off-beat storyline of a narcissistic comedian diagnosed with a rare blood disease. Two very different directors with two very different approaches to comedy, which can only mean one thing and one thing alone: A... Read more
Ghost Town: Ricky Gervais Interview
- 22 Oct 2008
Can you believe it? It's been three years since we last sat down in The Office of Ricky Gervais. We were long overdue for a check up, so we made an appointment with Ricky and asked him about his new film Ghost Town, in which he plays a dentist who can see ghosts. He talked to us about teeth, sweet dreams and who he'd interview if he could see dead people. LOVEFiLM: In Ghost Town you play a dentist, does it make going to the dentist any easier? Ricky Gervais: Well luckily I only go the dentist... Read more
Ghost Town
- 20 Oct 2008
Bertram Pincus. Who else but Ricky Gervais could do justice to a name like that? Bertram is a British dentist in New York. A bone fide misanthropist, you have to say he’s in the right profession (and the right city). Social interaction is kept to a bare minimum. If anyone does try to get too chatty he tells them to open wide and leaves them hanging. As movie dentists go – compared to Laurence Olivier in Marathon Man or Steve Martin in Little Shop of Horrors – he’s an... Read more

Other new recruits joining Fey, who also writes and stars in critically-acclaimed sitcom 30 Rock, include Spinal Tap's Christopher Guest, Arrested Development and There's Something About Mary star Jeffrey Tambor, and John Hodgman - a regular on US comedy hit The Daily Show. Also on board are Rob Lowe (Wayne's World, The... Read more
Re-Inventing Ricky
- 30 Sep 2009
Ricky Gervais is back on the big screen this week with The Invention of Lying. The premise – in case you’ve missed the ads – is that in a world where everyone automatically speaks the truth, our Ricky is about to tell it like it isn’t. This is his second starring role in a Hollywood comedy, after last year’s Ghost Town. This time, though, Gervais has much more at stake. He co-wrote the script and co-directed (both with Matthew Robinson), and he’s also a co-pr Read more
