Simply Marvellous - Some Like It Hot
Review of Some Like It Hot (Special Edition) (Wide Screen) by
Ottavia
Advantages: It's brilliant
Disadvantages: None
Some Like It Hot is an outstanding film, featuring brilliant perfomances from Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon and the supporting cast. It's laugh-out-loud funny, with an excellent plot that'll have you hooked from the off and songs that'll be stuck in your head for weeks! Made in 1959, this film instantly became a hit and with time, a classic. The story was co-written by Robert Thoeren and Michael Logan. They had used the same premise ... ...chase between the police and some heavys from the local gangsters illegal nightclub. They're carrying bootleg whiskey in coffins. When they finally lose the police they drive down an alleyway and unload the goods. Then we see the 'funeral parlour' where they are taken...and once the door's closed we're shown the nightclub that's out the back and the lavish party that's going on - gangsters, alcohol, dancing girls and the band. It's when we see the ...

Serving up a treat
Review of Serving Sara DVD by
MI9to5
Advantages: Quick witted humour
Disadvantages: Supporting cast little irritating at times
Serving Sara is one of those films that you love to hate. The storyline isn't the best it could be and neither the acting nor filming perfect but it is still an enjoyable romantic comedy. Joe Tyler (Matthew Perry) was once a hotshot lawyer but since being disbarred he has found himself hunting down defendants and handing them legal summons. This as once so easy for him but just lately actually catching the defendants in question has been difficult, ... ...Joe is sent to serve divorce papers to the beautiful but unsuspecting millionaires Sara Moore (Elizabeth Hurley), Miami hating Tony is less than impressed and will stop at nothing to discredit Joe.
Meanwhile after managing to serve Mrs Moore the papers he finds himself stuck on a bus with her and her four thousand question. Luckily for him though one of these questions is worth one million dollars and all he has to do is say yes. That is yes to ...

Who needs real friends?
Review of Friends - Series 1-10 - Complete (Box Set) by
redlane99
Advantages: All 10 seasons together in one box set!
Disadvantages: Not as many extras as us hardcore Friends fans would like.
...very shocked if the sitcom Friends is not in the top 10. For me it was so watchabale because i could relate to all of the characters. Also, the way they managed to deal with sometimes tricky situations, ie lesbians, surrogacy and adoption was masterfully done. I defy anyone not to laugh out loud at least once per episode. This box set is an essential purchase for any hardcore Friends fan. I myself had all episodes on video but gone are the days when ...
