A classic Curb. Non stop incest humour - what more could a Larry fan want? In the tradition of later Seinfeld seasons, a brilliant season finale.
Larry is obviously an evil genius and his plot hatching needs to scale the heights this time. You can really see the George Costanza type lying coming through in Larry in this one - after all it is said that George is based on Larry, and many of George's evil deeds in Seinfeld are, terrifyingly enough, based on incidents from Larry's real life.
I don't want to give too much story away, but... it's good; i laughed a lot.

Although this film is very beautiful in places, the standard of acting is almost universally appalling. I've no time for actors who look as if they've started congratulating themselves on their performances before they've finished delivering them; something that is regularly true of both Weisz and Fiennes, especially here.
The Constant Gardener is predictable and unbelievable, yet lacking in the emotional resonance or sense of dread one might expect to accompany a journey into the inevitable. If Rachel Weisz is 24, then I'm a Mexican bandit with a moustache that is six feet in width, ten in length. What is her character (an outspoken, earth-mama activist) doing with Fiennes (a mild mannered, jobs-worth, puppet of the state bore)?
I'm sticking with Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy next time I fancy a bit of visual Le Carre!
