Laurel & Hardy, Laughs above the rest.

Advantages: Funny, clean humour that stands the test of time.
Disadvantages: Absolutely none!

...it where it belongs. Laurel & Hardy despite their lack of the above mentioned "humour" have managed to do something that only modern comedians can dream about. They kept the world laughing consistently for years and have continued to do so 60 years after their deaths. I don't know any modern "great" that I'd remember and still be talking about in a year if he disappeared today. There is one exception and I just did a review on that yesterday, but ...
...a nice box with the Laurel & Hardy logo and a pic of the happy two on the top & sides. Opening the box you are presented with a row of real DVD disc boxes, not the usual cardboard or pocket type rubbish. Each disc spine has the part of a picture that makes up the duo's bowler hats when stacked together. The discs are numbered 1-21 with the last one having a title "A special tribute to the boys" along with other comedy shorts. Please note that the ...

Review of Only Fools And Horses - Christmas Specials (Box Set) (DVD)

Good films, good price

Advantages: A good Comdey
Disadvantages: Can seem to last a bit to long

When I thought of the Pink Panther, I did not actually think of these films, I honestly thought of the little cartoon based on the films which are also featured in this DVD boxset, the films themselves are classics and are decent in their own right. The first 2 films in the set are the best of the lot, while the rest of them just seem to be a bit long winded and they start to loose a bit of the apeal. They are still a great comedy to watch and I ...
...with a bit of time between them otherwise you can get a bit bored. I was deffinatly glad that it included the wonderful cartoons that I remembered from my childhood, they were as brillent as I remebered and I probably would have bought a DVD with just them on. ...

Review of The Pink Panther Film Collection (Box Set) (DVD)

A Surgeon's view of Hell!

Advantages: Superb characterisation and many poignantn moments
Disadvantages: The general subject won't be to everyones taste

M*A*S*H (Mobile Army Surgical hospital) was a television series that ran for eleven seasons between 1973 and 1983. The series was set in the Korean War and based around the oddball characters that served in the 4077th MASH. The series itself fits into the category of black comedy set in the Korean War. It is probably the best place here to mention that this series does not insinuate ever that war or the situations is causes is a funny thing or that ...
...simply highlights how in the toughest of situations it is often the humour of those that remain that prevails the longest. Sort of along the ‘they can crush us but they’ll never crush our spirit’ lines. Therefore the series does not shy from making some statements about war even if they are made in a comedic way but is careful to place just the right amount of emphasis on sensitive issues without becoming bogged down with them. None of the episodes ...

Max and Maddy boxset

Advantages: Funny- great entertaiment
Disadvantages: None

...out giving too much away the prison scene is so funny and the trouble these guys get themselves into is just hilarius and cringing at times. But who would wanna drop the soap in prison ??? lol After watching this you will be singing the theme tune all the time for weeks on end. Peter Kay is not only one funy person but and good actor. This boxset is a must seeif you love comedy and that's what this seriously is. Best British comedy since Only fools ...
