Review of Extras - Series 2 - Complete (DVD)

Tar Very Much

Advantages: A sharp, funny satire with great performances and a brain.
Disadvantages: Some of the subplots are underwritten.

Nick Naylor is a master of spin; making his money from defending the rights of smokers the world over on Capitol Hill. Of course the Big Tobacco concern he represents is funded by the cigarette companies, but as long as he gets paid, Naylor doesn't mind. But then do-gooder Senator Finistirre proposes that cigarette packets should all be labelled as poison, meaning Nick has his work cut out to defend the indefensible. At first glance, writer-director ...
...big screen looks like a stab at style-over substance filmmaking. How can it not when it employs "Fight Club" freeze frames, a sardonic voiceover, mocked up TV shows and on-screen graphics with accompanying sound effects and fake magazine covers? But that's before you scratch the surface of the biting satire that lies at the heart of the movie. Without the solid framework that the story offers, this would just be another flash-bang film from a commercials ...

Review of Thank You For Smoking (DVD)

Even best friends can't share the same wedding day.

Advantages: Lots of funny moments, gorgeous dresses, flowers, etc to look at!
Disadvantages: None (in my opinion!)

...Ritz and seeing a beautiful bride coming out of the hotel with her husband on her arm. They make a pact there and then that their wedding will be in June at the very same venue. Liv played by Kate Hudson is a tough Associate lawyer and one of the prestigious law firms in Manhattan. She is known for getting her own way and taking no prisoners along the way.Kate Hudson plays a fantastic part, and will clearly not back down when tough choices need ...
...and is much more likeable as her character is eager to please, and also easily taken advantage of. As the film progresses, the two characters start to change, as the blessed day turns them into evil, desperate women determined to have their perfect day at absolutely any costs. The film is an interesting take on weddings, and most women who have been married will be able to see what the characters are going through. The perfect weddings mean that ...

I went to go see him live for the first time on friday just gone in manchester and it was brilliant. This DVD is a fantasic purchase and would ...

Review of Russell Howard - Live (DVD)

No Flashing Lights, No Fanfare, You're Just Dead!

Advantages: A fantastic established cast
Disadvantages: There are absolutely none whatsoever for me

M*A*S*H (Mobile Army Surgical hospital) was a television series that ran for eleven seasons between 1973 and 1983. The series was set in the Korean War and based around the oddball characters that served in the 4077th MASH. The series itself fits into the category of black comedy set in the Korean War. It is probably the best place here to mention that this series does not insinuate ever that war or the situations is causes is a funny thing or that ...
...simply highlights how in the toughest of situations it is often the humour of those that remain that prevails the longest. Sort of along the ‘they can crush us but they’ll never crush our spirit’ lines. Therefore the series does not shy from making some statements about war even if they are made in a comedic way but is careful to place just the right amount of emphasis on sensitive issues without becoming bogged down with them. None of the episodes ...
