The Ricky Gervais Show

The Ricky Gervais Show is an American cartoon series produced for and broadcast by HBO and Channel 4. The series is an animated version of the popular British audio podcasts and audiobooks of the same name, which features Ricky Gervais and Stephan Merchant, along with colleague and friend Karl Pilkington, talking about various subjects behind the microphone.

The Ricky Gervais Show is absolutely hilarious. A bunch of friends just talking about random subjects doesn’t sound that interesting, but listening to Karl go on into his own little world is what makes the show, as Gervais and Merchant push him further, we start to understand how the strong minded, uneducated man thinks. This makes one of the best animated comedies ever.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull 2008

ij4-poster33Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a 2008 American adventure science fiction film. It is the fourth film in the Indiana Jones franchise, created by George Lucas and directed by Steven Spielberg. Plot: Famed archaeologist/adventurer Dr. Henry “Indiana” Jones is called back into action when he becomes entangled in a Soviet plot to uncover the secret behind mysterious artifacts known as the Crystal Skulls. The Indiana Jones franchise is a huge franchise with big range of audience interest.

The film is an entertaining action film, but hugely fails to live up to the rest of the Indiana films, especially the masterpiece of ‘indiana jones and the raiders of the lost ark.’ With a flat storyline and disappointing overuse of CGI. Nethertheless its great to see the character that we know and love again.
