Set for release on March 30, 2007, Blades of Glory from Dreamworks is a sports comedy directed by Josh Gordon  and  Will  Speck  and Produced by Ben Stiller.

Will Ferrell and Jon Heder are the lead  "pair",  who  exploit  a loophole to do their act in this movie - which is to "Kick some Ice".

So, welcome  to  the world of competitive figure skating - and all its passion and power generated by an unlikely pair who aim to steal the trophy, beating the odds. Two men skating together — Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrell) and Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder) - become the first male pair in the history of figure skating!

As aintitcool.com states, ‘figure skating for the first time ever is finally  watchable.  Also, hilarious.

Blades of Glory  is  about  two  rival  figure skaters (Ferrell and Heder) who after a fight with each other in front of 30,000  fans,  have  their  gold  medals stripped from them and are banned from competitive skating for a lifetime.’

Three years down the line, one is many pounds heavier while the other  is  still  girlish,  but still not "hot". Both agree to put aside their differences as well as their similarities - they’re both men! –and exploit a loophole (created exclusively for the movie) that would allow  them  to  compete  in  the  pairs  figure skating category.

This category is, of course, usually reserved for opposite-sex couples and  this  duo  must  go face-to-face with fierce competition from rivals far more experienced at the art, such as Stranz (Will Arnett) and Fairchild (Amy Poehler), the unrelentingly competitive reigning champion pair.

‘Amy Poehler and Will Arnett (as evil brother and sister figure skaters) manage to steal almost every scene they’re in. There are some really great moments including a hilarious ice skate chase  and  some  very funny ice routines (that i won’t spoil). The ice skating was never boring. And the costumes are as  funny  as  the people wearing them, especially the outfits given to Poehler and Arnett. Also, Jenna Fischer has never ever looked as hot as this. Purr-Rawrr.’

This very  funny  movie  was  shot  in  both  Los  Angeles,  California  and  Montreal,  Quebec (Canada).

I must confess that the day I watched the trailer of “V For Vendetta” at the movie theater I wasn’t any close to be willing to pay a ticket for watching that guy with a funny mask on his face. It seemed to me it would be one more of those simple movies extracted from a not very known “comic” (at least for me) that are appearing in theaters quite often these days. But now that I watched it, I think I was judging this movie wrong and not being totally fair with the writer and director.

It was quite surprising to follow the story and its continuous resemblance to what is happening today in a not too far away country and not too strange neighborhoods. In the movie is England that has been taken over by a group of fanatics that have concluded that their reason to live is power and the imposition of his world model and ideas over everyone and everywhere. There is a continuous war outside the borders and inside democracy is over; meanwhile fear is alive. People has lost the power of questioning reality and take conscience of the terrible consequences of living under such a decadent regime. It is a model based not in reason not in justice. Is the model “fascists” preach, where obedience and a “clock-like” functioning of the society in the interest of a few “chosen ones” is needed.

But suddenly there is a problem menacing the “status-quo”, they (without knowing) have created their own finisher. It is a figure that appears to us as a mix of revenge with a revolutionary mind, its name is “V”. Though the movie makes it closer to a simple vengeance thirst of this character, which is a bad point for the writer, but anyway; the film put us in front of tyranny being challenged by a single questioner, a single doubt of what has been happening to that society and his menace to multiply those doubts once the right time has come, this is…The 5th of November.

There is also the human side of “V”, he meets the girl in the movie thanks to his opportune showing while she is about to be raped by a group of secret agents of the “fascist” regime that have catch her walking at the wrong hours. You are not even the owner of your time as long as the preachers of “England Prevails” are in power. She escapes safe thanks to “V” but only to be initiated into the world of those who will change that world. She will be the guest and prisoner of “V” until she finally learns that there is nothing to fear but fear itself.

At the end there seems to be a split of the vengeance appetites of “V” and the revolutionary intentions that have been growing as the story develops. It becomes somewhat clear that everything coming from the old regime must die, including “V”, but he has left a final gift and maybe a lesson for those who want to learn it. Passions belong to individuals and can be very powerful forces; but revolutions can not be made by one or two individuals, revolutions are made by the conscience and willing of the people.
