A Look into Every Mans Brain!

Advantages: Because of the new series the box set isn't complete, which means it will be cheaper!
Disadvantages: It isnt the complete box set so you'll have to buy the new dvds seperatly or wait for the new set!

Peep Show... The show that introduced David Mitchell and Robert Webb to our TV screens. Some men might not admit it but we all have a little Mark and Jeremy in us. The show highlights the insecurities and arrogances of the 2 main characters via a running commentary of their inner monologues and thoughts to hilarious effect. This show is about the day to day struggles of the modern man, they have a pretty immature outlook on life so its a humor probably ...
...on the box. Its a Peep Show into the lives of Mark, a geek who holds down a boring 9 - 5 job in finance, showing his uselessness with women and strange obsessive tendencies and Jeremy, Marks unemployed best mate who shares the flat struggling as a musician. Rather than try to outline the basic plot-line for you for the whole box set I would rather tell you about a few quotes that stick in my mind... Mark: "I'm about to walk into a boardroom gangbang ...

Worth A Watch?

Advantages: Hilarious stuff
Disadvantages: Limited extra's and short

General In this DVD Tom Green visits Japan with his unique brand of toilet humor. The MTV Subway Monkey Hour is exactly what you'd expect from Tom Green. If you aren't familar with his work then I suggest you try to catch his Show when possible (it shows on MTV in most countries). Tom's Brand of Humor is very much like that of Trigger Happy TV and Howard Stern. What's on the DVD? There are many skits provided on the DVD including (the skits are ...
...a Godzilla costume - **** Tom strips off in a zoo and pretends that he doesn't understand Japanese - **** Tom dresses as a Fork and wanders around a hotel at 3am waking people to tell them about forks - *** Tom sings his 'Pizza Pie' song in front of an audience - *** Tom plays drums with a Japanese band until he literally ripped from the stage - *** Tom visits a temple with a megaphone - **** Tom dresses as Elvis and sings in the streets of ...

Gone but not forgotten...Pryor at his peak

Advantages: Pryor on top of his game
Disadvantages: over use of certain choice words

...a big way will rate Richard Pryor amongst the greatest there ever was. I am one of those, hence the first review of this limited edition DVD, coincidentally the first Pryor DVD I ever bought. So what is it that is so good and funny about a man whose life story has more tragedy than truimph? Well thats exactly it...its the way these stories of bad times that are recalled in such a way that gives you images of his life that ultimately make you smile. ...
...number of DVDs that have Richard Pryor comedy as a main feature but this is the definitive performance and definately the starting point for anyone looking to get into his material. Highly recommended! Other pryor films to seek should anyone have and like stir crazy are: - Silver Streak and see no evil hear no evil (ironically both feature Gene Wilder too) ...

Cruise Control

Advantages: Cruise showing real star quality
Disadvantages: Tangerine dream??

...choice for Cruises role in Risky Business) off the screen and never to be seen again in TAPS. Even Sean Penn, who has a tiny cameo in Risky Business for a favour to director Paul Brickman, was in the shadow of young Thomas Cruise Mapathor 11. When he held his own in his following movie 'The Outsiders' alongside a role call of the hottest young talent around you knew a star was born that would outshine all of them. Tom Cruise is quite simply a movie ...
...since because of films like Risky Business in the early 1980s, and because it works. Although Cruise was 22 in the film he looks 17, this achieved by Cruise toning up in the gym to less than 4% fat, then just stopping and binging for six weeks to produce the puppy fat face. It's just a fab performance and the star quality just exploding out of him like a supernova all through this. Although the film is subtle and so not gut wrenchingly funny it's ...

In parts quite funny

Advantages: some funny scenes
Disadvantages: as a true story, totally unbelievable

Howard Stern was never popular at school; people thought he was a jerk, even his dad though he was a moron. This didn't change through out his teenage years, as he struggled to fit in. It wasn't until he got his first job on a radio station, that he started to find himself. Through the next few decades we see how Howard's radio career grew and he became one of the most popular, yet shocking DJ's in America. Nothing is to risqué or dangerous for him ...
...Howard Stern, the famous American DJ who is loved as much as he is despised for his outrageous broadcasts and his complete disrespect of authority. It is very obvious that this film takes a lot of liberties with the truth, just as Stern does with his radio broadcasts. But if you put this to the back on your mind, you are left with a reasonable comedy in the same style as the American Pie series. The star of the film is Howard Stern who plays himself ...
