as in the first film , garfield spends way too much time boogying to the music of the black - eyed peas , and the slang , catch - phrases , and pop - culture references here all passed their expiration date long ago . in keeping with the refined comic sensibility of its core demographic in the under - 5 set , the comic possibilities posed by the gastrointestinal system and crotch and ass - biting are explored extensively , with connolly taking the brunt of the abuse . yet two kitties marks a considerable improvement over its predecessor . it ' s faster paced and the filmmakers wisely shift the focus away from bland owner breckin meyer and onto a menagerie of chattering animals . after a dreadful first entry , two kitties elevates the garfield series almost to the level of mediocrity .

parents need to know that garfield : a tail of two kitties ( sequel to garfield ) has some crude humor . the villain makes rude comments about female bodies and behaves in a predatory fashion . he also tries to drown the ( animated ) cat , trains his rottweiler to attack the cat , and schemes to gain control of an inherited estate ; he wields a crossbow and an old - fashioned gun . the cat teases and abuses a smaller dog repeatedly , then draws the big dog into a trap by calling him a " girly dog . " the dog bites a man in the crotch and the butt on separate occasions ; a man is ravaged by animal - orchestrated hijinks . animals take over and trash a kitchen ( a ferret gets drunk ) . some potty humor .

10 : 11pm : it ' s over . finally . happy to be alive . the funny conclusion to all of this is that , if a group of friends said they wanted to watch garfield : a tail of two kitties right now , i would probably join them . i ' ve watched it 13 times in a row ( averaging 25 - minute breaks ) , and . . . i could definitely watch it again . i ' d call that a success as far as the experiment is concerned . plus , i actively enjoy it - - i ' m not simply numb from feline water torture .

good kitty ! superior in every way to its underwhelming predecessor , “ garfield : a tail of two kitties” is a genuinely clever kidpic that should delight moppets , please parents — and maybe tickle a few tweens . the fox release faces a real catfight at the box office , however : in addition to “cars” and “over the hedge , ” the surprisingly child - friendly “nacho libre” also is competing for family auds . but , if the disappointingly tepid “ garfield : the movie” ( 2004 ) could gross nearly $ 200 million worldwide , this frisky follow - up may could claw its way toward even more impressive grosses before it catapults to the top of homevid sales charts .

2 : 42pm : ninth viewing done and i maybe , kind of like a tail of two kitties . it ' s a classically dumb kids ' movie in a post - pixar era . that ' s all . i can quote a lot of the lines now , which makes it " quotable " by default . everything is ingrained . i know all the beats and can accept all the nonsense at face value . there are no premature deep thoughts protecting my brain . just enjoying wacky bullshit for what it is . i ' ve lived with these harmless ( sometimes lovable ) characters so long now that i look forward to seeing their finest moments .

garfield inadvertently switches places with prince : jon finds prince climbing out of a drain and takes him to the hotel , while prince ' s butler smithee finds garfield in the street and takes him to carlyle castle .

there ' s something kind of strange about a bunch of animals cooking in a kitchen , when many of those animals would normally be getting cooked in a kitchen . but that is the least of this movie ' s problems .

garfield 2 is all over the map , but it ' s also a mash - up of classic slapstick . there ' s a marx brothers mirror routine , odie making like chaplin / asta from the thin man series , a dash of tom and jerry , the old " two dates / same night " gimmick , a smattering of a hard day ' s night , an agatha christie inheritance - mystery vibe , a noises off ! - style farce , and blank check .

2 : 47am : garfield is cgi , which means there are a ton of shots of nothing in this movie . i imagine the crew on set , aiming their ridiculously expensive camera at a gutter , the director consulting with the director of photography on how many seconds of static sewer shot is needed to allow the cgi artists to add in the character . that takes planning . i respect that . if you think of garfield as invisible , this movie gets strange really fast . the crew basically shot an adaptation of garfield without garfield . shots of an empty pie tin in the back seat of a rolls royce . hotel furniture . a dog chasing nothing . all the other animals are live - action .

even for the chubbiest comic cat in captivity , garfield ' s onscreen shtick is wearing a bit thin .

when garfield is first served a meal at carlyle castle , he wonders if he is on fear factor .

1 : 03pm : andy serkis ' mocap performance as garfield is really something .

garfield alludes to the silence of the lambs when he talks about eating odie ' s liver " with some fava beans and a nice chianti " .

what happens when you throw in an insecure virgin bride , a reformed playboy groom , two overbearing mothers who can ' t stand each other , one philandering husband , a high - strung wedding planner , the invasion of unruly village gate - crashes , a thief on the loose , a best man with a flashdrive full of secrets , a sexy ex with vengeance on her mind , two loyal bridesmaids ready to go to war , and a brother seeking his father ' s approval ? a hilarious melting pot of potential disaster . will it all be too much ? or will true love stand even the most chaotic of wedding celebrations as offered in the wedding party ?

this ‘tale of two kitties’ is yet another hollywood kids’ film subscribing to the offensive stereotype that britain is peopled with aristocrats who live on vast estates and are waited on by a devoted and subservient staff . but perhaps realism was never going to be top of the menu in a film about a talking cat . that said , garfield’s animation is noticeably more convincing this time , allowing him ( and doppelgänger prince , voiced in style by tim curry ) almost to blend in with the real animal cast — not just odie , but a whole forgettable and underused menagerie on the estate .

garfield ( murray ) and his owner jon ( meyer ) travel to london so that jon can propose to his girlfriend liz ( hewitt ) . there , garfield is confused with a wealthy english cat ( tim curry ) and taken to live a life of luxury  making him a target for jealous lo

garfield may be a popular comic - strip character , but he doesn ' t exactly light up the big screen .

garfield travels to london and manages to trade roles with a rich , english , fat , orange cat named prince .

garfield gets in the way when his owner jon attempts to propose to veterinary liz .

12 : 22pm : " what garfield 2 gets wrong about feline gastric systems . "

a specially trained squad of guinea pigs is dispatched to stop a diabolical billionaire from taking over the world .

with murray tossing about impudently rude remarks like so much confetti , and connolly appearing to channel a “fawlty towers” era john cleese in his verbal and physical tomfoolery , “a tail of two kitties” remains sufficiently comical to captivate auds of all ages . ( the funniest bit for movie buffs : an inspired allusion to the groucho / harpo mirror scene in “duck soup . ” ) hoskins adds to the fun as a gruff - spoken straight man — or , more precisely , straight dog — and there are similarly deft vocal performances by such notables as curry , richard e . grant , rhys ifans and ( perfectly cast as an intimidating but dim - witted attack dog ) vinnie jones .

of course , garfield stows away in jon’s suitcase , with odie , jon’s spirited but mute pet dog , also tagging along . through a fortuitous twist of plot contrivances , garfield winds up trading places with his exact look - alike : prince ( voiced by tim curry ) , a singularly spoiled tabby who has inherited a vast fortune and palatial estate .

what worked : if you liked the first “garfield” movie , you’re probably going to like this sequel . it’s more of the same in a slightly different package .

scooped up by the castle butler , garfield discovers what it ' s like to live in the lap of luxury while also missing no opportunity to insult his english hosts , including a bulldog voiced by bob hoskins and a goose with the honk of sharon osbourne . prince spends his time torturing odie and discovering the joys of lasagna , which stopped being a funny food about two minutes after it first appeared in davis ' s decades - old strip .

first , i am owned myself by a cat , so i naturally enjoy anything having to do with cats . garfield : a tale of two kitties is a happy , funny , silly movie . it is much funnier than the first garfield movie . i think this is mainly because of billy connolly , who is hysterical as the " bad " guy in the movie . garfield ends up in london , and gets switched with a cat who looks just like him , and who is a prince and has a vast estate . billy connolly ' s character wants the estate , and wants to get rid of the cat . silly fluffy comedy then follows . i really enjoyed it . it is light , fun and happy . yes , it is made for children . but i think any animal lover would also enjoy this movie . just go to see it knowing it is pure fluff , and you will have a good time .

the film was released on dvd on october 10 , 2006 . the dvd includes a " drawing with jim davis " featurette and two games : garfield ' s maze , and odie ' s photo album . it also includes a music video , trailers , and footage not seen in theaters .

much like the previous “garfield” opus , new pic offers a seamless juxtaposition of a computer - generated title character with flesh - and - blood co - stars and digitally - tweaked quadrupeds . but the sequel doesn’t merely coast along on the novelty of having garfield , the indolent orange tabby of comic - strip fame , interacting with real people ( and mostly real animals ) .

while prince slums with commoners jon and liz , garfield enjoys a life of luxury under the dutiful care of smithee ( ian abercrombie ) , a faithful butler , and winston ( voiced — terrifically — by bob hoskins ) , an obsequious bulldog .

i enjoyed this movie just as much as the first one . bill murray is amazing as he returns as the voice of garfield . it all begins mostly about a month after the first movie left off . garfield and odie follow jon to london , because jon wants to propose to liz . but little does garfield know , there ' s a royal cat named prince who just inherited a million , and he looks just like garfield . but an unfortunate event that occurs , that the two - look - a - like cats switch places , so garfield is living as a king , as prince is rooming with jon and odie . will they switch back before its too late . this movie was just as entertaining as the first movie . this movie will inspire animal lovers just as well as the first movie did .

prime members enjoy free two - day shipping and exclusive access to music , movies , tv shows , original audio series , and kindle books .

in the grand estate garfield is residing in , he receives the royal treatment , including a butler and a team of four - legged servants and followers . garfield teaches his animal friends how to make lasagna , while prince learns to adapt to a more humble setting , while in jon ' s company . lord dargis sees garfield and thinks prince has come back - if the lawyers see prince / garfield they will not sign the estate over to dargis , who secretly wants to destroy the barnyand and kill the animals to build a country spa . dargis makes many attempts to kill garfield , one involving a unmerciful but dim - witted rottweiler , rommel ( voiced by vinnie jones ) .

the two cats meet when garfield ' s owner , jon ( meyer ) , travels to london to propose to his veterinarian girlfriend , liz ( hewitt ) . garfield and his nonverbal canine housemate , odie , smuggle themselves across the pond , eventually landing at tourist sites from big ben to buckingham palace , where odie ' s high point is peeing on a guard .

jon goes to london to be with liz and garfield sneaks with him . meanwhile a deceased queen gives everything to her cat prince xii . her only heir lord dargis becomes jealous and tries to kill prince . garfield & odie sneaks out to the streets of london . lord dargis throws prince in the river and ends up in the sewer of london . smithee the butler believes he found prince but it was really garfield and jon find odie with prince and mistakes him for garfield . now the castle animals must keep garfield safe and keep him thinking he ' s royal to save their lives .

i am among the large minority of people that actually hate this movie . lets face it people setting it in a different country wasn ' t good enough to beat the first one . garfield 2 starts of in jon arbuckle ' s home , and after he fails to pop the question to his girlfriend , she travels to england . jon follows her and so does garfield . garfield then travels around london and gets mixed up with an identical cat . the other cat lives in a castle and garfield ends up getting pampered . the evil new owner of the castle , lord dargis , tries to stop the other cat and garfield from getting the palace back . the setting , as i said before was rubbish , the acting was wooden and garfield was annoying . not good

to be fair , there ' s a supporting cast of talking farm animals who are amusing at times . and while the idea of having an animated garfield and live action actors was a disaster in the first film , the special effects people have made significant improvements .

garfield ' s owner , jon ( breckin meyer ) chases his girlfriend liz ( jennifer love hewitt ) across the atlantic , but he ' s thwarted by his cat , garfield , and dog , odie , who stow away on the plane . garfield gets lost and ends up switching places with a wealthy british cat who just inherited a fortune . the rest of the movie is less a plot than an international incident , with garfield and his friends burping , passing gas and falling in sewage as english landmarks go by in the background . did we mention that odie urinates on a buckingham palace guard ?

garfield : a tale of two kitties is a very disappointing movie compared to the first garfield . i like the first one much better . it had more funny jokes , better moments and a much better plot / setting . this movie was very predictable and really boring . the weirdest part of all is how all the animals could talk but no humans understand what they ' re saying , that just sucked and was a big disappointment . this movie also isn ' t funny at all , all the " jokes " garfield says aren ' t funny in the least bit . he tries so hard to act funny and cool it just doesn ' t work . this movie is only about 90mins but it felt like i was watching it for hours . its really boring and not that great . this movie may be good for kids but is completely dull for teens and adults . i wouldn ' t recommend this movie at all , its a waste of time and day . . .

wait wait wait . you mean to tell me that bill murray , being the stunning hipster god that he his , thought that a script for a movie based off of a daily newspaper comic strip starring a fat , lasagna - loving orange cat was written by the coen brothers ? ! those of us who can read english know that garfield was written by joel cohen , of cheaper by the dozen fame . but wait ! it gets better !

the first garfield film was a huge success — with under - eights . for anyone older , it was an ordeal , and the same is true of this undercooked , prince and the pauper - style sequel .

for those keeping score at home , the garfield movies cast the lasagna - munching misanthrope as an anthropomorphized computer - animated talking cat . his foil odie , meanwhile , is a non - anthropomorphized , non - talking , non - animated canine played by a real dog and garfield ' s anthropomorphized animal compatriots are played by real , non - animated animals , but voiced by prominent ( human ) character actors . the series ' distracting , inexplicable mish - mash of live action and animation , genuine animals , and cartoon replications remains a mindfuck of a conceit , but the dismal first garfield at least gave audiences plenty of time to get acclimated to its multiple layers of miscalculation . it also set the bar so low that a sequel almost couldn ' t almost help but clear it .

one of the strongest points of the film is garfield himself . his animation is very good and the voice of bill murray is perfectly suited to the personality of the character . any time he’s on the screen , the movie is at its best . and like in the previous movie , he’s well paired with the cute live action odie .

boog , a domesticated 900lb . grizzly bear , finds himself stranded in the woods 3 days before open season . forced to rely on elliot , a fast - talking mule deer , the two form an unlikely friendship and must quickly rally other forest animals if they are to form a rag - tag army against the hunters .

tech values are exceptional across the board . best of all , rhythm & hues f / x wizards surpass their work on the previous pic with an even more animated garfield .

i’ll also add that my kids enjoyed this “garfield” sequel . while they did get quite antsy in the last third of the movie , it generally kept their attention quite well .

story : when liz goes to london for a conference , jon decides to fly there as well and surprise her with an engagement ring . little does he know that garfield and odie have tagged along in his luggage . once there , the fat feline gets mistaken for a missing cat named “prince” . prince is the heir to an eccentric animal lover’s fortune and now owns a large castle and is pampered by a large staff of servants . it turns out that the woman’s nephew , dargis , attempted to dispose of prince to win the fortune . however , his plans fall apart when garfield was mistaken for prince and returned to the castle . after the accidental switching of identities , prince finds himself dealing with jon and odie while garfield finds himself in the lap of luxury . but what will happen to garfield and the other animals when dargis attempts to finish him off once and for all ?

garfield and prince taunt dargis , whose plan is exposed , and are seen by the lawyers . dargis threatens everyone if they don ' t sign the papers to him , taking liz hostage . garfield , prince , odie and jon save the day , smithee alerts the authorities , and dargis is arrested . garfield , who had been trying to stop jon from proposing to liz , has a change of heart : he helps jon in proposing , and she accepts .


taxi ! is a 1932 american pre-code gangster film starring james cagney and loretta young .

the movie was directed by roy del ruth .

the film includes two famous cagney dialogues , one of which features cagney conducting a conversation with a passenger in yiddish , and the other when cagney is speaking to his brother 's killer through a locked closet , " come out and take it , you dirty yellow-bellied rat , or i 'll give it to you through the door !

. " the provenance of this sequence led to cagney being famously misquoted as saying , " you dirty rat , you killed my brother . "

also , taxi ! marks the first occasion when cagney dances on screen , as matt and sue enter a peabody contest at a nightclub .

to play his competitor in a ballroom dance contest , cagney recommended his pal , fellow tough-guy-dancer george raft , who was uncredited in the film .

in a lengthy and memorable sequence , he scene culminates with raft and his partner winning the dance contest against cagney and young , after which cagney slugs raft and knocks him down .

as in the public enemy ( 1931 ) , several scenes in taxi !

involved the use of live machine-gun bullets .

after a few of the bullets narrowly missed cagney 's head , he outlawed the practice in his future films .

in the film they see a fictitious warner bros. movie at the cinema called her hour of love in which cagney cracks a joke about the film 's leading man 's appearance ( an unbilled cameo by warners contract player donald cook , who had played cagney 's brother in the public enemy ) saying , " his ears are too big " .

also advertised in the cinema lobby in the film is the mad genius , an actual film starring john barrymore which was released the previous year by warners and is a plug by them .

: who cares ? look at the room ! there ' s no one here .

this movie is fantastic . it is simply an all action car chase romp set in the french city of marseilles . the acting is highly convincing , the direction is fresh and modern and the film is easily the best car movie in years . followed by two sequels , the film makers have kept the film very french without resorting to american - style cgi effects or bland super star actors . as a french speaker , i watched the film in its original language with subtitles in english incase i got lost . i would recommend watching the film in french to everyone , it ' s much better than the dubbed version . one of france ' s biggest films of the modern years , let ' s hope they keep the sequels rolling on !

a massive new ira bomb plot was foiled after gardai seized a staggering 6kg ( 13 . 2lb ) of semtex in dublin ' s north - inner city .

gardai , aided by the army and the bomb disposal unit , arrested two men and seized the lethal explosives .

in a worrying development , security sources confirmed to the herald that the semtex was " brand new " and sourced for the terror group in the last few weeks .

the arrests are part of an ongoing investigation by the special detective unit ( sdu ) into dissident republican activity .

l a massive 6kg of semtex , as well as detonators , were recovered .

l the new , military grade explosives were recently sourced and brought into the state .

l two men were arrested at the scene , one with close links to the new ira .

it has also emerged that the second man arrested has no known connections to any criminal gang , leading to fears of a new recruitment drive by the dissident republican terror group .

armed gardai also raided the house of a politician ' s relative , who has close ties to one of the men arrested .

a senior source last night stated that the explosives recovered were " big enough to blow up a street " .

" there were 6 kilos of semtex recovered , which would have caused serious damage if used . it is a major catch for gardai , " said the source .

gardai have said it is too early to rule out a link to the ongoing hutch / kinahan feud .

dissident republican michael barr ( 35 ) , who was murdered by the kinahan cartel as part of the ongoing dispute , had links to the new ira .

last night , heavily armed gardai from the emergency response unit ( eru ) - an elite branch of the sdu - stopped a car at about 6pm .

the dramatic arrests took place near spring garden street , ballybough , on the capital ' s northside .

residents living in the area were immediately evacuated from their homes , while a takeaway was also closed .

two men , aged in their 20s and originally from the north - inner city , were detained . they had been placed under surveillance by specially trained detectives ahead of the interception .

they are being detained at clontarf garda station under section 30 of the offences against the state act .

the defence force ' s bomb disposal unit arrived at the scene shortly before 7pm under a garda escort , with a large section of the area closed off yesterday evening .

members of the dublin armed support unit and army personnel , carrying sub - machine guns , stood guard as locals , including young children , looked on .

semtex is an all - purpose plastic explosive , which is used in commercial blasting , demolition and by terrorists .

just 250g of semtex could destroy a commercial passenger airplane , as sadly proven in the case of the pan am flight 103 bombing over lockerbie in 1988 .

the omagh bomb of 1998 was a 500lb fertiliser bomb with a 500g ( 1lb ) semtex trigger .

medallions are the licenses many cities require to operate taxicabs , and their limited number has made them increasingly valuable over the last several decades . as recently as the summer of 2013 , the kinds of medallions mr . freidman owns were worth as much as $ 1 . 2 million , far above the $ 739 , 000 of debt per medallion that is indicated in the bankruptcy filing .

medallion lenders , responding to the deteriorating market conditions , have tightened credit or exited the market , leaving owners like mr . freidman in a difficult position . citibank has sought to foreclose on 46 medallions owned by companies owned by mr . freidman after several loans matured in january and mr . freidman did not repay them . citibank declined to extend the loans , and mr . freidman has struggled to find alternative financing , according to an affidavit accompanying the bankruptcy petition , which seeks to halt the foreclosures .

“it is suspected that citibank’s strong desire to develop a relationship with uber is a key motivator in its decision to pursue unreasonable positions against the debtors , ” he said in the affidavit . as evidence , he pointed to a news release in which citi announced its employees could use uber for official business travel .

but there’s a simpler explanation for why citi would want to foreclose : its loans are due and haven’t been repaid . it is typical for a secured lender to foreclose when it has not been repaid at maturity and fears the collateral may deteriorate in value .

“we are disappointed mr . freidman has chosen not to honor his contractual obligations , ” said andrew brent , a spokesman for citibank . he called the claim about uber a “laughable conspiracy theory . ”

in the bankruptcy affidavit , mr . freidman projected confidence about that price trajectory . “the debtors are confident that the market will rebound and correct , and that the medallions will continue to hold their historic value , ” he said .
