His father, a real-estate salesman, was killed in a collision with a drunk driver while driving his family home from a University of Colorado football game, when Tim was 11 years-old.

Actress And Comedian Melissa McCarthy

Melissa McCarthy was born in Plainfield, Illinois, to Sandra and Michael McCarthy, a farmer. Her recent ancestors were from County Cork, Ireland. McCarthy began her performing career as a stand-up comedian in New York where she appeared at the famous clubs, Stand Up New York and The Improv. She worked on her acting skills at The Actors Studio and appeared in many stage productions in the city before moving to Los Angeles in the late-1990s. She made a number of TV and movie appearances before making her big breakthrough as Sookie in Gilmore Girls (2000). A steady stream of comedy performances followed, leading to her starring role in the sitcom Mike and Molly (2010). McCarthy married her long-time boyfriend, Ben Falcone, who she met at the Groundling Theatre, on October 8, 2005.

McCarthy returned to work four months after giving birth to Georgette to begin filming the first season of Mike & Molly. I absolutely love Melissa McCarthy, she is extremely funny and can always make me laugh! She is one of the funniest actress i have ever seen. I have watched pretty much all of the movie she has starred in also. She has a great sense of humor and fits every comedic female part in every movie she stars in! Anyways, here's my blog for this week! I hope everyone has enjoyed reading my blog.

21 JUMPSTREET & 22 JUMPSTREET

Now I will be discussing about another movie and the sequel. 21 Jump Street and 22 Jump Street!!!! 21 Jumpstreet is about how in 2005 Schmidt and Jenko are high school students, one an honor roll geek, the other a cool, athletic underachiever. By 2012, they are rookie cops, paired together, on bike patrol yearning to make arrests. After a screw up, they're sent undercover back to high school to find the source of a dangerous synthetic drug. They mix up their names, and Schmidt gets the no-brainer classes where he auditions for Peter Pan and falls in love with Wendy; Jenko gets AP classes where he falls in with high-achieving dweebs. This second chance at high school gives Schmidt delusions of grandeur, which threaten the operation. I personally loved the 21 Jump street but find that the second movei 22 Jump Street is terrible compared to the first movie. 21 Jump Street is an adventurous and fun packed movie whcih always left you wanting more but 22 Jump Street is a little bit of a let down... I was expecting somethin much better because of how good the trailer looked. 22 Jump Street is about how after one of Schmidt and Jenko's missions go wrong, they are sent back to Jump Street to do the exact same thing, go undercover and find out who is selling drugs. But this time they are sent to college to investigate the drug known as 'Wyfy' and have only one lead on who it is, someone with a tattoo. Schmidt and Jenko's relationship is tested when Jenko is brought back on the cool side while Schmidt hangs out with a girl named Maya. At the same time they must decide if they can keep there relationship together as friends, or as cops.

DUMB AND DUMBER

I havent posted a blog in awhile.. in my previous blogs i have discussed in great depth about different comedy movies, how theirs different types of comedy movies and also the several comedian actors and actresses who are extremly famous such as Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler. During this blog I will be talking about a movie then the sequel of the movie. Dumb & Dumber is the movie I will be talking about. I have mixed emotions about this comedy because it is funny at times but at some points im not sure if it was so good because of the over exageration of stupidity. Dumb and Dumber is amovie about a man whos name is Lloyd Christmas. He is a loser taxi driver, who tries to return a suitcase which contains a lot of money to its owner, a beautiful woman named Mary Swanson who he took in his taxi to the airport, earlier. He must give her back the suitcase, and for that he goes with his dumb partner, Harry Dunne to a snowy town named Aspen. But a pair of criminals who wants the money try to follow them and to steal the money in the suitcase. Moreover, Harry and Lloyd both fall in love with Mary, and they struggle each other to win her heart. There is a second movie that was released November 14th 2014 called Dumb and Dumber To...Which is the sequel of the first movie Dumb and Dumber. I would want to go see it but im not too sure if I would really like it because I didnt like the first one very much since it there was overly exagerated emotions and actions. It is about how 20 years later Lloyd and Harry go on an adventure to find Harry's newly discovered daughter who was given up for adoption. Both movies were directed and produced by Bobby Ferrelly and Peter Ferrelly.

Comedy Genre Films - History

A comedy movie is a type of genre which emphasis on humor. Comedy movies were created to entertain an audience and also to amuse them by exaggerating real life situations to an extreme. Films of this style usually have a happy ending. These types of movies are one of the oldest genres in movie history. Starting around the 1930's comedy movies had stated to air in black and white, then little by little technology started improving. This made comedy movies a big hit! Color televisions came out, and made movies even more entertaining to watch! Now we have wonderful high definition quality and surround sound. Comedy, unlike other film genres puts alot more focus on individual stars. Many actors or actresses that have starred in comedy genre movies have started off by doing stand up comedy (by being a comedian). There are several of comedy genres such as action comedy, comedy horror, sci-fi comedy and military comedy. Action comedy relies on the actors or actress to bring out the comedy and jokes within the film. Horror comedy is a literary and film genre that combines elements of comedy and horror fiction. Sci-Fi comedy is a mix between science fiction and comedy. Military comedy is a humor based on stereotypes of military life. Military humor portrays a wide range of characters and situations in the armed forces. I would now like to that the time to discuss a very famous comedian / actor who has been in several different comedy movies. Jim Carrey! I never get tired of watching movies he has starred in. He is a canadian born actor who became a U.S. citizen in 2004. He is a actor and producer. He is famous for his rubbery body movements and flexible facial expressions. He is also a two-time Golden Globe-winner. This video below shows the top ten funniest clips of Jim Carrey's movies.
