Jimmy Carr - The 2nd DVD!

Advantages: Very Funny
Disadvantages: Short

Jimmy Carr has got to be one of the funniest men on the planet. He has a lot of wit, and he knows how to use it. This DVD is awesome, you hear some of Jimmy\'s best jokes. He even includes the audience to make some spontanious jokes. In his set he covers all different varities of jokes, therefore, eveyone gets offended. Its great! Its an absolute barrel of laughs!! Some examples of his material are: My dad is Irish and my mum is Iranian, which ...
...Customs. If you're being chased by a police dog, try not to go through a tunnel, then on to a little see-saw, then jump through a hoop of fire. They're trained for that. My dad's dying wish was to have his family around him. I can't help thinking he would have been better off with more oxygen. ...

Review of Jimmy Carr - Live Stand Up 2 (DVD)

Jimmy Carr - Comical Genius.

Advantages: Its a DVD that can be watched over and over again
Disadvantages: Not for the faint hearted

I started watching Jimmy Carr about 4 years ago and received this DVD as a gift from my brother. I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys comedy that requires a bit of thought but this is not for the easily offended. There are jokes of all ranges. His crowd interaction is superb and this is definetly a must see DVD. Jimmy doesnt like people of the homesexual variety. This is clear from the outset. So if this is something that would offend you, ...

Review of Jimmy Carr - Live (DVD)

The Smoking Room- Series 1&2 box-set

Advantages: Very funny and extremely well written.
Disadvantages: Not enough special features.

...Room', here's an extract from the blurb on the box-set of series one and two - "Welcome to room B209, a drab L-shaped storeroom with yellowing walls and a faulty hot drinks machine. But for some, this place is an oasis - the one place at work where these modern day lepers can wallow in their nicotine habit, avoid going back to the office and talk about nothing in particular- the Smoking Room " If you like humour delivered dead-pan and sarcasm supplied ...
...have you in stitches. The acting in both series in amazing and there is never a hint of overacting, the series stars Robert Webb, Selina Griffiths, Debbie Chazen and many others. Everything from the script to the body language is subtly done and benefits hugely from it. The box-set contains four discs, two for each series, with one being solely episodes from the series and the other containing the remaining episodes and the special features. There ...

Review of The Smoking Room - Series 1 & 2 (DVD)

One of the best skate based films

Advantages: The story and the skateboarding scenes
Disadvantages: There are none

...film. I bought this in the reduced section in Morrisons. I took a shine to the cover as it had skateboards on it and thought, i'll buy that. So I did, I got home and watched it and I was so amazed by it. The story line has such meaning to it yet the film is hilarious. I think this is good to show skaters how to get to the top like the legendary Tony Hawk. This film is about 4 college students that have just finished their final year and want to ...
...take is the making of a professional skate team named "Super Duper Skateboards" and to gain as many sponsors as possible. The only problem is the battle to the top. The film is a series of competitions to fight their way to become pro yet they still manage to get distracted by women and their opposing competitors. The film has a linear narrative structure as the film shows the four guys travelling around America slowly becoming professional. As a ...

Review of The Grind (DVD)

Life in the fast lane has never felt so slow

Advantages: Great visual style, interesting structure, Dick is very funny
Disadvantages: Shallow charcters, shallow film, it was all a bit boring really

...not for long. The Rules of Attraction tells the story of Sean Bateman - recognise the name? He's the younger brother of Patrick Bateman, played by Christian Bale in American Psycho. Here, he's played by James Van der Beek. Now, I never watched Dawson's Creek, but I hear this was one of the bravest pieces of casting of recent times - asking a truly Mr Nice Guy to play a sex-obsessed misogynistic drug dealer? We'll see later on how he fares. Sean ...
...teenage angst and misery. Rules of Attraction is a deliberately shallow look at some extremely shallow people, but that doesn't excuse the fact that these characters are just plain boring. We are never supposed to sympathise with them, which is fine by me, but that means the audience has nobody to root for or care about, so it's not engaging enough. These are mean, sex-mad students, who do little more than run around after people they will never ...
