Ealing Studios Dissapointment

Advantages: Loveley Movies
Disadvantages: Bad quality, predictable selection of movies

...films enjoyed by individuals around the world. Several Box sets have been released over the years and this ' Definitive Collection' seems to contain yet again the same small selection of films favoured in previous collections. It would be nice to see a wider range of Ealings productions available, especially seeing as the Studios had and still have a massive fanbase for their work. The quality of the films themselves is terrible, and one would think ...

Carry On Madness - A British Institution

Advantages: Contains some of the finest films in the series
Disadvantages: Would have been nice to include the whole series

The Carry On films are a phenemenon and a British institution. They have enjoyed renowned success all across the world. Beginning in 1958 with Carry On Sergeant, these low budget comedies regularly scored high at the Box Office until around the mid 1970's when the series went into decline. The main Carry On players that we all know and love are: Sid James Kenneth Williams Charles Hawtrey Joan Sims Hattie Jaques Barbara Windsor Kenneth Connor Bernard ...
...as does the cult of Carry On films which looks set to continue a good deal longer yet. I'd put money on that in 100 years time, the Carry On films will still be as popular as ever. This collection gathers together the first 12 Carry On films as well as a special film compilation, hosted by Kenneth Williams and Barbara Windsor, where they take an affectionate look back at the series highlights. Right, lets get down to the actual fims then.... When ...

Review of Carry On - The Ultimate Carry On (Box Set) (DVD)

The Plank/ It's Your Move

Advantages: great, classic and funny
Disadvantages: a bit short

This is a very good DVD for all of the family and for anyone who just want a really big laugh on the sofa. With the brilliance of Eric Sykes and Tommy Cooper makes it superb and very special to anyone as it was certainly a treat for me. I have got to admit that I produced really good laughter on these two little films and the casting and storylines are great. It is the kind of DVD you just want to watch over and over again as you cannot take your ...

Review of Plank, The / It's Your Move (DVD)

Serial Mom- Sick Laughs.

Advantages: The best of American comedy.
Disadvantages: Might not appeal to all senses of humour.

'Serial Mom' is a great comedy and a thoroughly entertaining film, exploiting to the full the talents of Kathleen Turner. She delivers a highly fun and amusing performance, from the start presenting the viewer with the image of a unique and humorous character. The film is set in 1990s America with an apparently perfect household, ran by an apparently perfect housewife. However, this illusion is soon shattered and a somewhat more sinister appearance ...
...behaviour. Her murderous exploits are not sick, but funny, so this film is not one for those with a humour based on light-hearted themes. She lives a dual life with a split personality and psychopathic tendencies- her constant and extreme changes from pleasant, loving lady to crazy killer adds to the entertainment value. The acting is not always superb from all the actors, but this is not really detrimental, as it matters little with a comedy, ...
