"Sex is what people do most and admit least"
Review of Sex Is Comedy DVD by
honestwriter
Advantages: Based on the director's own experiences.
Disadvantages: In French.
...Film after Filming a Graphic sex scene in it herself.
This film is in French, but has English subtitles. However you don't really need the subtitles, to understand what is going on.!
The Film is all about making an Adult movie. The "director" (Parillaud), is trying to get his head actor (Colin) and his head actress (Mesquida) to give the most realistic performance of graphic sex. But in the movie they hate each other. You can imagine how hard this ... ...is a pretty boy who thinks Mesquida is an idiot. Watching them kiss is an exercise in understated apathy.
Catherine (The real Director) treats the subject with real respect for her audience's sensibilities.
This film has the rare truth about Sex, where confusion gets in the way of sexiness.
Parillaud (The movie Director) Has to find away to make the head Actors come together.
The film is hilarous. There is nothing sexy about a man being paid ...

Review of Lee Evans - Wired And Wonderful - Live At Wembley DVD by
honey03
Advantages: 100% not boring
Disadvantages: stitch from laughing so much
I kind of knew lee Evans from small venues that he had done. I settled done to watch the DVD that people were raving about. The first 5 minutes made me realise why he was so funny. It wasn't only his jokes or his sketches that he did. It was his mannerisms. The way he presented himself made all the difference. His high pitch giggles and Mickey taking off life is the whole reason I was laughing hysterically. Watching Lee Evans actually made me want ... ...would only ever be one Lee Evans.
He is a true legend and I will always watch this DVD and never get bored of it.
Parts of it are on my phone and I have it on my computer. I just can't get enough of it. It really is great value for money and I strongly suggest you buy it. For those of you who have never heard of him before, I would say that once you get past the swearing, it is so funny and also that he does sweat a lot. But that is too be expected. ...

Billy Connolly - Love Him or Hate Him.
Review of Billy Connolly - Live 2002 DVD by
derek-j-a
Advantages: Hysterically Funny
Disadvantages: Lots of Bad Language - not suitable for family viewing.
Billy Connolly is a comedian you either love or hate. I am one of those people who can go into hysterical laugher just looking at him. If you like things to be clean and politically correct, then this Billy Connolly DVD, like most of his other recordings, is not for you. I have kept it as clean as possible using "bleeps" where bad language is freely used on the DVD.
I first became aware of Billy ("The Big 'Yin") back in the early seventies when ... ...hate him.
The DVD Billy Connolly Live 2002 is just as hilarious as his many other recordings. In fact when I first watched it, I did my usual trick of sliding out of my armchair and then rolling about the floor laughing. It opens in Dublin to a packed house of cheering punters and that's before he's even said a word. Then he opens by going into a funny story of what it was like crossing the road in the city with hysterical impersonations of dodging ...

Review of Phoenix Nights 2 (Wide Screen) by
kingchris
Advantages: Even funnier than the first series!!!
Disadvantages: If you don't like hidden comedy, this won't appeal to you
...other major changes.
The Phoenix Club is a club in Bolton, it is owned by Brian Potter, well Jerry Dignan in this series, (read on to find out more)! There are many workers there, and they all make the comedy very funny. Each one of them has a very funny personality, and makes the comedy better than most comedies that just focus on one or two personalities.
Most of the characters return from the first series, and they are just as crazy as they ... ...was the owner of the Phoenix Club, but after it burnt down, he had his license revoked. This stopped him from selling alcohol to the public, and owning a club. But Brian found a way past this. He made Jerry the licensee, but really he is manipulating Jerry, and while Jerry is the Official owner, Brian is still pretty much controlling the club. He tries to cut corners to save time and money, and will try anything once to make the club a success.

The Box Set
=
There are six disks in this box set with 4 episodes on each (the last episode on the sixth disk sees another double length episode). Now that we have entered the ninth series each disk now ... ...am a huge fan of Friends even now I can still sit down and watch an episode or two on E4 and Channel 4. If anyone is not aware how much of a fan I am then please find my other reviews on the box sets.
The ninth series was a real progression for finding an ending to the whole series; there is such a build up for the final series to discover how everything will pan out. I can remember the suspense this series left while waiting for final series to ...
