  KEN LAYNE
Anyway, after a month or three back in Los Angeles, it suddenly occurred to me that our loyal plastic St. Joseph was still head first in the frozen dirt of Northern Nevada.
In our dangerous economic times, it would be irresponsible to not buy another religious trinket.
But we remind our kid to be careful, because this creepy wooden character is the guy who helped us sell the Nevada house before the whole market completely collapsed.

  Beyond Our Ken   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Beyond Our Ken was a radio programme, the predecessor to Round the Horne, also starring Kenneth Horne, Kenneth Williams, Bill Pertwee and Betty Marsden.
When Beyond Our Ken ended, apparently due to a dispute between Merriman and the producers, Barry Took returned together with Marty Feldman to write a new series with the same cast which became Round the Horne.
Beyond Our Ken is sometmes seen as an inferior predecessor to Round the Horne, which became one of the most popular and influential shows of its day despite having a shorter run.

 Beyond Our Ken (2004)
Beyond Our Ken is told largely in handheld, verite-style camerawork that resembles Wong Kar-Wai from his Chungking Express days—except with a much more loaded plotline and less engaging emotions.
Ken may be a snake, but the girls' duplicity isn't much to clap about either.

 Beyond Our Ken: Reviews
Beyond Our Ken becomes one of those problematic reviews where nothing should be divulged as Pang has written and directed a movie that has something to offer all up till the final frame.
Many things are quickly apparent in Pang's workings as we begin to acquaint ourselves with Beyond Our Ken. Gone are the quirky camera tricks, fast pace and general silliness of his previous works and instead we see a very loose style born out of necessity.
It's definitely benefiting as Beyond Our Ken transforms Pang into a subtle, quiet filmmaker with focus on the small scale and he didn't have to sacrifice his desired content to boot.

Beyond Our Ken is much less firmly etched on the minds of the public than its more popular successor, Round The Horne.
Beyond Our Ken's cast was made up of Kenneth Horne, Kenneth Williams, Hugh Paddick, Betty Marsden, Ron Moody, Stanley Unwin and Pat Lancaster (resident singer).
Whilst this option was eventually ruled out, it was generally acknowledged that the success of Beyond Our Ken had been due in no small part to the cast.

 SFist: SFIFF: Beyond Our Ken North American Premiere   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Beyond Our Ken, a satisfying (if slow-moving) film, certainly deserves better than the small auditorium and splotchy screen of the Kabuki 8’s theater #5.
In another scene, the girls reflect that Ken’s (the doll’s) dicklessness is what drove Barbie to love him, and also what would drive her to leave him.
But then again, an upbeat redemptive ending would probably ruin the film’s sad resignation that love and pain go hand in hand, especially in light of the aggressively cynical surprise ending, in which the girls’ friendship is cemented by their mutual capacity to harm those who care for them.

 Chinese Movie Review | Beyond Our Ken (2004) Gillian Chung, Daniel Wu
eyond our Ken" is a film by Edmond Pang, director of the awkwardly titled, yet excellent "Men Suddenly in Black", who is being touted in some circles as one of the great young hopes of the ailing Hong Kong film industry.
Of course, the fact that "Beyond Our Ken" stars one of the notorious and much derided 'Twins' may suggest to some that Pang has slipped into the conventional commercial mire, a suspicion furthered by the film's somewhat uninspiring premise.
To be fair, "Beyond our Ken" is a film where not a great deal actually happens, and despite some ingenious plot twists, there are stretches where all the characters do is sit around and talk.

Ken Stott in the new Rebus series which starts tomorrow night.
He strides into our appointed meeting room, deep in the bowels of the old STV building on Glasgow's Renfield Street, looking as if he'd rather be undergoing root-canal surgery than spending an hour talking about the new series of Rebus.
Ignoring my proffered hand and attempted hello, he announces he wants to smoke and, three minutes later we are deposited by a nervous-looking assistant on a grim paving slab at the back of the building.

 trenchman.com - Movie Review - Beyond Our Ken
That movie, about a group of men determined to cheat on their wives (played as a parody of serious cops versus gangsters films) was highly original and smartly directed, and was a far cry from the banal sort of cinema that is unfortunately typical of the Hong Kong film industry these days.
The concept has potential but is not particularly original, the narrative is irregular (a huge wad of storyline is forced down the audience's gullet in the last few minutes), the direction seems languid, and, worst of all, perennial adolescent Daniel Wu stars as the male lead.
As it is, Beyond Our Ken (I can't resist noting that the film's English title is pretty darn clever, if you're aware of the essentially archaic meaning of the word "ken") isn't much more than an average, if slightly uncoventional by Hong Kong standards, film.

 DVD Talk Review: Beyond Our Ken
Karaoke bar waitress Shirley (Tao Hong, The Red Violin) seems to be pretty happy with her boyfriend Ken (Daniel Wu, New Police Story and One Nite in Mongkok), a charming guy we first meet throwing a surprise party and treating her sweetly.
While it could have gone for obvious gags and goofy slapstick, Beyond Our Ken is instead a low-key, thoughtful examination of conflicting emotions.
Beyond Our Ken is a surprisingly disarming dark comedy that should be easily accessible to most Western viewers.

 Beyond Our Ken
While slurping some noodles, Chan (Gillian Chung) gets the hiccups and asks her boyfriend Ken (Daniel Wu) to shock her — he does so by telling her that he is breaking up with her and abruptly departing, leaving her in tears and with an urge to get some flesh back for this.
She goes to Ken’s current girlfriend Zhou (Tao Hung) and tells her what has been done and asks Zhou to help her get into Ken’s apartment so that she can destroy the pictures on his computer (when Zhou sees the pictures of Chan her immediate response "You are much thinner now").
This takes some convincing but after comparing notes on Ken over a period of days they both realize what a complete and utter scumbag he is and they put their plan in motion to teach him a lesson.

Nancy Zerg provided the correct question, "What is HandR Block?" which gave her $14,401, one dollar more than Ken. Ken answered incorrectly: "What is FedEx?" and ended up with $8,799 for a total of $2,522,700 over his 75-day run.

 Beyond Our Ken
Daniel Wu, as Ken, shows his charm and his rather lovely physique, but doesn't get much of a chance to strut his dramatic stuff.
This is probably because Ken isn't really the focus: he's simply the pivot around which the two girls build their friendship.
He is a bit of a cad, but otherwise harmless, although using the same pickup line on both girls does show a distinct lack of imagination.

The title of the intimate, no-frills revue, Beyond the Fringe, was meant to indicate that they were offering something beyond the limits of most fringe attractions.
Beyond the Fringe was a landmark in sophisticated, satiric comedy, influencing such later TV programs as That Was the Week That Was and Monty Python's Flying Circus.
But Beyond the Fringe was a '60s sensation in two countries, so it's amazing to see it again in this videotape whose existence seems to have been a secret for four decades.
