DVD Movie Reviews

American football is a big thing for a lot of people, mostly Americans but a lot of guys in general. For me, the Super Bowl is less about the man-action and man-crunching and more about the advertisements.

The New York Giants (is that a spoiler? Sorry) may have won the ballgame but movie stars and celebrities would kill (not quite but you get the drift) to get their head in a Super Bowl commercial. After all, the Super Bowl has the power to immortalise stars – who could forget Pierce Brosnan (as James Bond) swapping a martini for a Diet Coke?

James Bond with a martini - the way it should be

That all said, here’s what’s flowing through my mind right now (yes people, Sarah has thoughts).

Ferris Bueller’s back!

Uh oh! That's not a happy face

Despite having less hair (Matthew Broderick has this weird thing happening up top) and more meat on him (Sarah Jessica Parker should grab some for herself), Bueller’s back spruiking the Honda CR-V. Personally, I prefer Bueller’s 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spider.

Clint Eastwood has a nice voice

Ooo... intense look!

The world according to Clint – America is about to start its second half. Quite a moving message from a pretty inspirational man.

Audi omits a couple of pretty famous vamps from its 1 minute slot

Fang-tacular!

So, I get that Audi wants to capitalise on the vampire craze that’s taking the world by storm but where are the True Blood vamps, the Vampire Diaries blood suckers or any other famous vampire for that matter (is it too much to ask for David Boreanaz to chuck his fangs back in for the Super Bowl)?

The Soup Nazi’s back!

Soup for you!

Jerry Seinfeld (with a little help summons The Soup Nazi and dons a couple of feisty sock puppets… all in the name of advertising Acura (it’s a car – knowledge points for me). A cute alien even makes an appearance right towards the end.

Well, those were my highlights from the big game but hey, I’m sure you had your own. Fun fact: the amount of advertising money poured into this year’s commercials rose by 50 per cent. Ker-CHING!
