The Complete Only Fools And Horses - Not Made Like This Anymore

Advantages: Complete story of only fools, neat lay out, excellent viewing
Disadvantages: Still fairly expensive

The Complete Only Fools and Horses chronicles every single episode from the seven series', as well as each feature length and Christmas special. It is extremely well laid out, in chronological order, so that the show can be watched from start to end with no fuss. The DVDs are all top quality, the sound and pictures are excellent so viewing pleasure is not inhibited in any way. The packaging is also small enough to fit on to shelves, something not ...
...when it first came out, the price. Nearing £200 it was a lot of money for a show that doesn't run anymore, even one as revered as this. Since then, however, the price has fallen by half and so is very much the bargain for any only fools/comedy fan. In my opinion, if you're a fan of the show, a fan of comedy, or just a plain old casual viewer, get this. Apart from being iconic in its potrayal of british life, it is excellent fun. One for all the ...

This film spins me right round - the wedding singer

Advantages: Funny and lighthearted , great characters
Disadvantages: None

In my opinion The Wedding Singer is a fabulous feel good film. I first watched this film back in 1999 when I purchased it on VHS. It was one of my favourite films and more recently I purchased this on DVD so I could watch it again. The story of The Wedding Singer is based around two main characters. One of these is Robbie Hart who is the best wedding singer in town. He is happy, uplifting and always manages to save the day at weddings even when the ...
...Julia has just moved to the town to be closer to her fiancé Glen. She has got herself a job as a waitress with her cousin Holly at the hall where all the towns' weddings, birthdays etc get put on. This is the same hall where Robbie works. Julia and Robbie soon become friends but Robbie's good mood soon goes when his marriage to his fiancé Linda doesn't happen. Robbie turns from a happy go lucky guy into an angry and bitter man. This doesn't stop ...

Review of The Wedding Singer (DVD)

Extremely Dodgy Spy Spoof

Advantages: David Niven is OK... Just
Disadvantages: Ludicrous plot, bad performances

...and their grip on the Casino Royale... I think. There are also other characters called James Bond including one played by Peter Sellars and one by Woody Allen. You can probably tell from the brief and fairly confused synopsis that this is a fairly confused film that unfortunately is not mercifully brief. With a star-studded cast such as the one assembled here (add to these Orson Welles, William Holden, Ursula Andress, Deborah Kerr and Ronnie Corbett ...
...fails to be entertaining. One of the key problems is that it makes very little sense. The plot is incredibly confused and although perhaps not essential to such a film, you do need to have some understanding of what is going on. This was not helped by the fact that 5 directors were on board (including Huston). It also suffers from actually not being very funny too despite the roster of 'comic' actors. Niven probably fairs the best as the aging Bond ...

Review of Casino Royale (DVD)

I Don't be.....Overused phrase? Ok, One foot in a great box set.

Advantages: Absolutely brilliant at messing with your emotions, it has everything.
Disadvantages: Not a single one.

...me Victor when I'm on the phone complaining again. One thing I can't complain about is this great box set. Comprising of the full series 1-6 and the Christmas specials plus a couple of special features titled, "Britain's Best Sitcom" and "The story of One Foot in the Grave", there's certainly plenty of viewing. 12 discs in the set with 6 episodes per disc running for 30 min approx. The Christmas specials are roughly 60 to 90 min in length and are ...
...& Annette Crosbie respectively as The embittered and grumpy Victor Meldrew and his long-suffering and surprisingly patient wife Margaret. The series follows Victor & Margaret through Victor's recent early retirement as a security guard replaced by his modern equivalent, an electronic security system. Or by, "A box" as Victor so eloquently puts it. We are taken through Victor's subsequent days on end trying to amuse himself and find things to do ...
