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 ...

Sons of the Desert

Advantages: Excellent comedy from the worlds finest ever comedy double act
Disadvantages: None

The tone is set when the boys arrive home from a fraternity meeting. Living next door to each other the name plates say it all - "Mrs & Mr Laurel" & "Oliver Hardy and Wife". However things are not quite as they seem with Stan not not being domineered anywhere near as much as Ollie. A classic film in which the boys go from one scrape to the next. Ollie feigns illness and has to go on a long ocean voyage to recover. With his wife not liking the ...
...is purely a subdefuge to allow the boys to go to a fraternal convention in Chicago. Unfortunately the boat upon which the boys are supposedly traveliing sinks with few survivors. The film culminates in a final scene where the wives find out about their husbands misdemeanours with as expected violent yet funny results. Well worth watching over and over again! ...

Review of Laurel And Hardy - Sons Of The Desert (DVD)

Laughs in black and white!

Advantages: An Ealing Comedy and a good laugh!
Disadvantages: None

...Ealing Comedy from 1960 called Two Way Stretch starring Peter Sellers and directed by Robert Day. It is 83 minutes of black and white heaven! Peter Sellers plays Dodger Lane a old lag with a cushy set up in prison sharing his cell with his friends Lennie (The Dip) Price played by Bernard Cribbins and Jelly Knight played by David Lodge. They all have a good little number going doing the least work for the highest rewards and the Prison Officers are ...
...a Prison Inspector. Addition: I have received one or two comments complaining that I have given away the ending. It's an Ealing Comedy not an edge of the seat thriller so I didn't think it mattered. Sorry to anyone who feels I have spoilt the fun. ...

Review of Two Way Stretch (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 ...
