occupation of France, succeeding because of its
sheer lunacy, and the amiable performance of
veteran character actor Gordon Kaye, as café
owner René Artois. René finds himself surrounded
by buffoonish German officers, who are easily
duped yet still keep René on his toes, and
sometimes in hot water. He also must juggle the
imperious French Resistance leader, Michelle
DuBois (played by Kirsten Cook; in a recurring
gag, Michelle says, "Listen very carefully. I
shall say this only once"--but never manages to
get out the urgent message), his jealous wife
(Carmen Silvera), and all his staff waitresses,
who find the doughy René sexually irresistible.
It is all très French, n'est-ce pas? TV buffs
will see more than a hint of Hogan's Heroes,
M*A*S*H, and even the old spy series Get Smart.
Season 5 features as many crazy sight gags as ever
(including a special "spy camera" disguised inside
a potato), very silly accents, lots of
cross-dressing (did you know female German
officers were "allowed" to grow mustaches of
"tasteful length"?), and over-the-top plots to
foil the Nazis. One particularly memorable episode
in this series involves disguising explosives in
500 Christmas puddings that René is asked to
house at his café. How, he pleads, is he to
explain the presence of 500 Christmas puddings at
his tiny bistro? Resistance leader Michelle,
exasperated: "Just say you have cornered ze
market!" --A.T. Hurley

" Good Moaning"
Review of 'Allo 'Allo - Series 3 And 4 (Box Set) by goldfishlou

Advantages: Silly, cheap and fun with a range of amusing accents.
Disadvantages: Silly. Slightly dated. No extras, unlike the US edition.

...[Suggested edit for price information] I picked up my copy of the series 3 and 4 box set from play.com at a bargain price of £7.99 - seems pretty reasonable for 13 episodes of around 30 minutes each, a cost of around 60p an episode. One of the nicest things about the move to DVD is the fact that quite a few of these sitcoms are now being released in an affordable format... [/edit for price information] [Second edit: DVD extras] Unlike the American edition of this box set, which is released by the BBC, this edition does not unfortunately have any DVD extras unless you count the 'extra' episode, "The Gateau From The Chateau", which was a Christmas special. [/edit for DVD extras] Well, here we are; series 3 and 4 of the fabulously silly BBC TV series based around cafe life in the sleepy little town of Nouvion, occupied France. Cafe... Read review

Review of The Giallo Collection (Box Set) by srsenman

Advantages: Dario argento movie
Disadvantages: Giallo

...for me argento is the best horror director i have all the movies of him because oyou can not find the atmosphere of his films in another movie .when we look at the boexed set included movies : the bird with a christal plummage is one of the best movies of the director, 'The Cat O'Nine Tails' and 'Phenomena'. these are also perfect movies of the director this boxed set is awesome for the fans the genre: GİALLO i am strongly recommend you guys this set. it has a well chosen movies inside it .'The Cat O'Nine Tails' : is a murder mystery thriller that strays far closer to classic Hitchcock and Agatha Christie than to Argento's own later works which focused heavily on extreme violence and/or the supernatural.Phenomena: is based on supernatural powers of a girl....
