Advantages: an amazing 6-disk boxset showing all the actors best bits.
Disadvantages: There is no film content, only sketches

Six disks of pure monty python brilliance!! Each disk contains approx 1 hour off footage, comprising ofinterviews with the actors andmost importantly thier bits sketches. Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin are all individually hillarious and put together, well, thats just amazing. Certificate 12 as they contain moderate language, sex references and comic bloddy violence. Some of my Personal favourite ...

Advantages: Hilarious, great extras, funny everytime you watch it
Disadvantages: Nothing!

I have loved Monty Python since seeing Monty Python's flying circus years ago, so when I saw this collector's edition dvd box set of 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' for sale in HMV I couldn't resist buying it. (and I love it even more now that Michael Palin was an honorary graduate at my graduation and I stood about five feet away from him! He also did his Knights of Ni impression) The collector's edition dvd set comes in a cardboard casing which ...
...this film. All of the Monty Python cast are hilarious. It is not a serious film in the slightest and I find it very easy watching. There are also some songs throughout the film which are really well written with silly lyrics and catchy tunes. My favourite bit in the film is when all of the knights pretend to be riding along on their horses whilst their servants make horse noises with coconuts. It's so ridiculous. On disc 2 there are five extra ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to watch and an array of well known actors
Disadvantages: It isn't the most interesting film you'll ever watch

I bought the family stone for one reason only and that was because the cast was a mix of well known faces! I know I should look for more than this but, being a Sex and the City fan I am always keen to watch anything with Sarah Jessica Parker in! Along with a variety of others who I have seen in other films and enjoyed then it was surely to be a winner wasn't it? Released in 2005 the film was written and directed by Thomas Bezucha. The story: The ...

Advantages: Nice Penguin Footage
Disadvantages: Bad Language, Poor Script, Repetitive

We were lent this DVD by a friend, until that point I was never even aware that it existed but seeing as Samuel L. Jackson narrates it we thought we would give it a go, after all the numerous other Penguin themed films that have been released over the last couple of years have been OK. The film is a mock of the film 'The March of the penguins' and its filming technique and production is very similar as it features real life footage of penguins which ...
...being given voiceovers by the likes of Jason Alexander and Jason Biggs, Sadly the script is badly lacking, it tries to show the normal tries and tribulations of the male and female groups as mating times approach. So for the women will I get to mate. will I want find someone to settle down with and for the boys: I just want to get laid, hope she's fun. What it ends up with is a repetitive set of sexual innuendo, toilet humour and regular unnecessary ... Read review
