...by Rob Reiner, the director behind and in 'Spinal Tap', 'The Princess Bride' was originally released in 1987 and received a moderate amount of success, though it was by no means a blockbuster movie. The film has managed increasing popularity over the years with releases on VHS and DVD, arguably becoming something of a cult favourite. It regularly features in online polls (Top 100 type things) for comedy movies and is often cited as a favourite of adults and children alike.
I’m sure we’ve all heard the phrase ‘They don’t make ‘em like they used to’. Upon hearing this phrase, I think you can fall into one of two camps. First there’s the side that says ‘here, here’, nostalgically reminiscing on what things were like in the “good old days”; or, alternatively, you can fall on the side which says “yes – and there’s a damn good reason why...

Advantages: fantastic show, really funny Disadvantages: Uses the word C**t a little bit too much!
...This is the second of Jimmy Carr's offerings in the stand up stakes. But the DVD is a lot more than that!

Jimmy Carr
---------------------
I first saw Jimmy on "Your Face or Mine" on Channel 4 a few years ago. I knew from that moment that he was destined to be a big comedy star. Now hailed as the face of Channel 4 he's one of the funniest men alive.
Best known for presenting "100 greatest..." on C4, Jimmy has a much more interesting work history. Ranging from "Distraction" which saw people subjected to some odd things for an entertaining game show to some American performances.
This is the second stand up DVD he has released. It was recorded at London's Bloomsbury theatre. How could this compare to the first Live DVD?

The Main Show

I enjoyed this show...

Advantages: Incredibly funny Disadvantages: May be too dry for some
...Filmed from the two main characters perspectives it is in some respects a fly on the wall comedy.
I first came across Peep Show during the drunken hours of a late night on Channel 4. I was laughing from beginning to end. Peep Show is making a move into the mainstreamnow and was nominated for several comedy awards.
Peep Show gets much stronger from series to series and this is certainly evident in the six episodes featured in series 2.
It is a DVD you can watch over and over again without becoming bored of it.
I definately recommend this DVD to anyone who enjoys dry comedy as Peep Show will become a cornerstone of comedy in years to come.
Go out and buy it!...
