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 Laurel And Hardy (Box Set) (DVD)

Blackjack!!! This movie is a winner!!!!

Advantages: Its funny and leaves you begging for more
Disadvantages: It is a little wacky and maybe offensive to some

...Whether the laughs are coming Chevy Chase loosing everything, to Mr. Nick Papa Gorgio, who is really Rusty, you will want the laughs to go on forever and ever. If you have a few extra bucks lying around and you really need a good pick-me up family fun comedy, this is exactly what you want. And as a bonus for all of you other vacation movies, Cousin Eddy is back, and with a metal plate in is head. So go out and get this movie, but while you are out, ...

Review of Chevy Chase Vacation Collection (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)

Nostalgia on the busses!

Advantages: Great british comedy
Disadvantages: An aquired taste !

...us part, or the carry on movies then this is certainly a box set for you as it will have you in stitches! The only thing I would say is that I would advise anyone buying this to watch the original series, as there are many jokes throughout these films which are references to recurring jokes from the television series, which make the viewing all the more amusing! ...

Review of On The Buses/Mutiny On The Buses/Holiday On The Buses (Boxset) (DVD)

Friends, partnership and marriage

Advantages: Light-hearted look at being homosexual in today's society
Disadvantages: Not that funny, silly ending

...with the beautiful lawyer? I am not the biggest fan of Adam Sandler and his films; whereas none of them are totally unwatchable, a number of them are distinctly average and not worth more than a quick glance. However, in the mood for something light-hearted, and finding this DVD in Asda for just £2, I succumbed. As far as Sandler is concerned, this is a fairly standard role for him. As Chuck, he is perfectly likeable, despite some rather dubious ...
...the DVD was Kevin James. I really enjoy watching him on screen; I thought he was superb in King of Queens and Everybody Loves Raymond, and I've enjoyed him in Hitch and, more recently, Paul Blart. Like Sandler, he always tends to play the same role - a likeable loser who has very little luck with the ladies - and that is exactly what Larry is. I still enjoyed his performance though. There is a huge amount of humour surrounding the fact that he is ...
