Advantages: Home Alone 1 & 2 are fantastic!
Disadvantages: Home Alone 3 is a bit of a let down.

I remember the Christmas day way back in 1990/91 when I opened one of my presents to find the Home Alone video inside. I'd never heard of it before, but my goodness - I couldn't stop watching it for years...... I've divided the review up into mini-reviews of each film for ease of reference. Be sure to let me know what you think once you've seen them. If you have already, then you'll have a fairly good idea of what this review focuses on..... HOME ...
...this film is one of the funniest and most genuinely entertaining that I've ever come across. The plot involves the youngest son (Kevin) being left home alone and getting up to all sorts of mischief, defending himself and the community, all the while trying to figure out what the strange man in the neighbourhood shovelling snow is up to!! A Christmas movie for the family in every sense of the word, the best scenes involve a tarantuala being placed ... Read review

Advantages: You can use the DVD as a frisbee, or cup coaster.
Disadvantages: Everything. It's appaulingly bad.

I hated this film, it was terrible. I could barely watch it to the end. Created by Terry Gilliam, i now think he is a terrible editor because of this film. It was maybe the poor acting that ruined it i'm not so sure. I had never heard it was based on a poem by Lewis Carrol until recently, and i still think the film is appauling. With terrible acting and not funny jokes, the only place for this film is in the jaws of the stupid Jabberwock or whatever ...
...awesome and funny, but it is nothing to compare to this. It looks like a very low budget amateur film, and plays out even worse. After the death of his father Cooper, 'Dennis Cooper' goes to the town where he has to pass several boring and unfunny escapades. The town and the whole kingdom is threatened by a ridiculous thing called 'Jabberwocky'. Will Dennis make his fortune? can anyone kill the "monster"? I do not recommend this unless you are a ...

Advantages: The return of the sex comedy
Disadvantages: Very low budget

If your one of those people that won't watch anything other than big blockbuster movies then Gettin It is certainly not for you, however if you're a bit more open minded, enjoyed the humour of American Pie, Porky's or The Lemon Popsicle movies then this 2006 sex comedy is a must. Gettin it is low budget, filmed with handheld cameras, and looks decidedly cheap. But what Gettin It marks isa resurgence of the sex comedy so popular during the 70's and ...
...be seeing a lot more like it. Silver is a normal kid, he works in his mum and dad's takeaway pizza joint as a delivery boy; he is nothing special and quite withdrawn. Slightly unbelievably this rather nerdy kid has a stunning girlfriend called Sheila who wants to wait for the time to be right to have sex; I'll leave you to decide which part I find unbelievable. Silver however wants sex more than anything, after all his friends are all having sex, ... Read review

Advantages: Great humour
Disadvantages: Might not appeal to you if you havent worked in an office

Office Space is an instant classic for any office workers out there. Office Space follows the life of Peter (Ron Livingstone) a tired and bored office employee working for Initech, under control of the worst boss known to man, Bill Lumbergh (fantastically played by Gary Cole). Lumbergh is everyone who has ever worked in a office's worst nightmare. Full of smarm and fake sincerity. His 'mkay' will haunt your dreams for years to come. The main story ...
...The main backbone of Office Space is the relationship between the 3 main 'heroes' of Office Space, Peter, and his friends Michael Bolton (a put upon David Herman) who goes mental at the slightest comparison between himself and the real michael bolton, and also Samir who is constantly frustrated that no one can say his second name. The movie basically covers what it's like to work in an office on a day to day basis and will appeal to anyone who is ... Read review
