My Review on Two pints series 1+2

Advantages: Very Very Funny
Disadvantages: None

First time i saw two pints on tv was series 6. I really enoyed it. After watching a couple of episodes i wanted to know the whole story as i wasn't caught up from starting at series 6. But i knew it was something i would enjoy. So i orderd series 1+2, and i thought was brillant. Very funny, good story, gets even better as the series go on. Very good programme to watch. Worth buying. I prefer british comedys and shows than american ones. I have say ...
...as well. I would give two pints of lager and a packet of crisps 10/10. I now own all 6 series. Two pints is a Runcorn based show, with five main cast members. Natallie Casey, Katherine Drysdale, Ralph Little, Sheridan Smith and Will Mellor. Series 1+2 both have 6 episodes each. Each episode lasts 30 minutes. These are a brief description of what happens in each episode. Series 1: Episode 1: Fags shags and kebabs: In the shows first episode Louise ...

Menacing Fruit Machines and Criminal DJ's

Advantages: Funny
Disadvantages: None yet

...up comedy mode, but with Phoenix Nights, he has created some excellent characters. The main man, Brian Potter is played by Kay (although he also doubles up and plays one of the doormen Max). Potter is in a wheelchair, and does not let this stop him terrorizing the people who work for him whilst he follows through with his ambitious plans for domination of the local entertainment venues. The series is based around a working mens club "Neptune" which ...
...a fire, and the ups and downs the team experience whilst they try to make name for themselves. Potter does not really have what you could class as any real friends, and tends to surround himself with hopeless, directionless hangers on, but club compere Jerry St Clair loyally stays by Potter's side through thick and thin, even though he has been crapped on more times that he cares to remember. St Clair is played by co-writer Spikey, and he has as ...

Getting to Know Martha

Advantages: Martina Gedeck, Maxime Foerste, Sergio Castellitto, Nettelbeck’s script and direction.
Disadvantages: Ending just a tiny tad too facile.

At one point in ‘Mostly Martha’, the title character finds herself at her wits’ end and says to her niece, Lina, ‘I wish I had a recipe for you that I could follow.’ Unfortunately, learning how to deal with the complex psyche of Homo sapiens defies easy formulas. However, whatever recipe German director Sandra Nettelbeck used to create this lovely and bittersweet character piece, I can only wish that more filmmakers would follow her lead. The eponymous ...
...fancy restaurant in Hamburg. A reserved woman with a strict creative aesthetic and work ethic, she takes great pride in her efficiently-run kitchen. As she tells her gourmet cuisine-fed therapist, precision and timing are of paramount importance in her field of work. Martha seems to live solely for her elegant culinary creations, devoting her days off to experimenting with new dishes. She has a neat, meticulously arranged and well-appointed kitchen ...

Krampack - Ordinary

Advantages: Coming of age ,gay, teen drama.
Disadvantages: Nothing really special.

The story of two young friends in Spain. The one just wants to lose his virginity while the other seems to like his friend a lot more than he lets on... This film, I felt, came and went without causing much of an impact. The characters were likable and believable however, when the final credits rolled, I could easily forget about them The battling feelings of being gay and young love are dealt with in a good way and yet I couldn't help but think ...

Review of Krampack (DVD)

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside.....

Advantages: Side splitting laughter
Disadvantages: Sexist towards women

...go into the background on Jim Davidson because that is in another review. However, this DVD was made during Jim's time as the owner of the Wellington Pier in Great Yarmouth. Basically the pier had not been used in many years due to another pier being further up the beach, the Britannia Pier where the main beach is. The council decided that they wanted to re-open it but did not have the money so they agreed to give Jim Davidson the lease for 6 years; ...
...show is in the usual Jim Davidson style. He gets on stage and just starts talking and making a joke about his wives, women, sex, elderly etc. It is rude, crude and sexist. Jim refers to the fact that once he did give free entry to people in wheelchairs and he once found an empty wheelchair after the show. Not sure if it is true but never the less very entertaining and sounds like something that people might do! There are impressions of the way ...
