Look Around You!
Review of Look Around You DVD by
Miskin
Advantages: Been to school? Then you'l find this funny.
Disadvantages: Humour can get tiresome if watching more than one episode in one sitting.
...be able to connect with Look Around You, which is are 10 minute paradies of 70s/80s science education videos. Each episode as a particular theme (for example Water, or The Brain) and contains usually about 3 experiments none of which are serious and there are various silly and humerous outcomes. Before the episode begins you are advised to 'have your copy books ready' and at certain points are told to make note of facts or figures (all completely ... ...is impressive, if you look at the science posters in the background of the room for example they are again joke posters. Negative aspects of Look Around You could be that it is not something where you would watch a number of episodes in a row. The episodes are 10 minutes long for a reason... if you watch a number in a row the humour gets a tad tiresome. ...

All change in the Harper household
Review of My Family - Series 3 - Complete DVD by
MI9to5
Advantages: Some fantastic episodes
Disadvantages: Some not so good episodes
My Family is a British comedy programme about a typical working class family in London and is a programme I have loved for a long-time.
The programme is based around the Harper household, which in this series is as hectic as ever. The family consists of dad, Ben, mum, Susan, and children Nick, Janey and Michael as well as newcomer Abi. Ben is quite simply a grumpy sod. He is a dentist that hates patients and wants nothing more from life than to ... ...usual standard. My favourite episode in this series is Episodes 11 titled The Lost Weekend were with all the children away for the weekend Ben and Susan find that they have the house to themselves. This episode is highly amusing on many levels as Ben and Susan struggle to find a common interest. Is it episodes like this that actually make you look at your own family and notice the similarities between them and the Harpers - a scary possibility?

American Dreams, Dreams with a zzzzzzzzz.........
Review of American Dreamz DVD by
pink_champagne
Advantages: Hugh Grant is nice to look at
Disadvantages: Everything else
American Dreamz is the sort of movie that could potentially be very funny. Note that word potentially. Directed by Paul Weitz who also directed About a Boy and American Pie, this movie is set around a popular American reality TV show. I saw the trailers for this and thought it looked good, but I never seem to get round to seeing things at the cinema and ended up getting this on DVD instead.
~The Plot~
The story revolves around the biggest TV show ... ...is overheard singing by the American Dreamz crew. The President of the United States (Dennis Quaid) is due to be a judge on the final night of the show, and Omer's leaders have sinister plans for him. What will happen to the president? And who will win American Dreamz?
~What I thought~
Well, like many films, disappointingly, the trailer shows all the best bits and the rest of the film is rubbish! The plot, as I'm sure you can tell from above, is ...

Well done BBC on a great British comedy!
Review of Gavin And Stacey - Series 1 DVD by
xamy_wx
Advantages: Hillarious, greatly written
Disadvantages: None
...month ago, having never watched Gavin and Stacey before, but I decided to give it a go! Oh my gosh I am so glad I bought it! I ended up and sitting and watching the whole series in one evening, I just couldn't turn it off! It is so so so funny, and the fits of giggles Ruth Jones' character has has me in in unreal, she is so funny! The story line is so romantic as well, in a comedic kind of way. I only wish I had watched Gavin and Stacey whilst it ...

Friends S8 Eps20-23
Review of Friends - Series 8 - Episodes 21-23 DVD by
treehill1234
Advantages: entertaining
Disadvantages: none
...you are a fan of friends you will already know that the ends of the seasons always entice you to watch the next and the end of season 8 does not disappoint. There are not many television shows that last this long but you can definitely see why why Friends has. I always watch Friends when I am down and it never fails to cheer me up. On this season finale we have the baby shower where Rachel feels worried about becoming a mum, Monica worries about ...
