"What happens in Vegas you pay for when you get home"

Advantages: A fun easy watch
Disadvantages: Predeictable and cheesy

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS A FILM ONLY REVIEW I know that they are very predictable. But I do love a good romantic comedy. As I generally enjoy films Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz so I was quite enthusiastic about watching ‘What Happens in Vegas’. Wall Street workaholic Joy McNally (played by Cameron Diaz) was a successful woman who loved to plan, she planned everything, she planned what she was going to plan. One of the things that ...
...long time boyfriend Mason (played by Jason Sudeikis). I guess she was sorry that she did, because at this party -in front of all of their friends – he finished their relationship. Elsewhere, Jack Fuller (played by Ashton Kutcher) , whose refusal to finish anything has just got him sacked from his father's company, by his father himself. Joy and Jack each get a talking to from their friends Hater, (Rob Corddry) and Tipper (Lake Bell). This talk ...

Review of 27 Dresses (DVD)

Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging

Advantages: Funny, a great teenage film!
Disadvantages: It is a kids film so adults may not like it as much!

Well first things to mention: This is a teenage film, for people around 12-16, so if you are any older than this, and your watching it, you need to bear it in mind when reviewing it! Which is what I am doing, I am remembering how I was at that age and remembering the type of films I was watching at that age! I was also watching this with a 13 year old, who loved it!!! The film is about a typical teenage girl, Georgia, her worries in life are: her ...
...from a boy, her parents, her weird little sister, the popular girls, not been pretty enough, not been anything "enough"!!!! (oh for the teenage life eh!) Georgia and her friends are 13 going on 14, so in year 9 of high school, they're not popular, but they're not complete outsiders. They tend to stick to their own group of 4 friends, Jas is Georgias best friend, but they also hang about with Ellen and Rosie. When new boys, brothers Tom and Robbie ...

Review of Angus, Thongs And Perfect Snogging (DVD)

Bill Bailey Lite

Advantages: occasionally funny, well performed musically with great stage effects
Disadvantages: much of the new material isnt funny, frequently recycles old material

As a huge fan of Bill Bailey, I had high expectations for 'Tinselworm' after the hilarious 'Part Troll', but Bill's newest dvd left me feeling very disappointed indeed. Bill's career has been going from strength to strength of late, his hard-won and much deserved popularity culminating in this, his latest dvd, in which he takes his latest tour to Wembley for his first arena performance. Inevitably, the intimate feel is lost, and combined with the ...
...like Bill Bailey dumbed down for the masses. His clever, surreal and often philosophical material doesn't translate well to an arena setting, and his performance often seems forced, as if he is uncomfortable but doing his best to put on a brave face. Much of the material is recycled from his previous shows; a comedic reworking of a popular theme tune, a drum and bass track themed around George Bush, and a Kraftwerk-esque song about trouser presses ...
