Review of Extras - Series 2 - Complete (DVD)

Ridiculously underrated and underexposed comedy

Advantages: Clever, witty, original. Written by and stars Tina Fey - need I say more?
Disadvantages: You'll probably have to buy it on dvd, it's rarely shown on tv in the UK

This show is so criminally underrated in the UK - it definitely deserves a decent slot on a mainstream channel, to get the viewers it deserves! To be fair, it is fairly quirky and likely to divide opinion, but then so do most worthwhile comedies. It's set in the Rockerfeller Centre in New York (hence the name) and is based around the happenings at the NBC studios. More specifically it is about Liz Lemon (Tina Fey), the head writer of a comedy sketch ...
...(brilliantly played by Alec Baldwin) becomes her new boss, and forces her to accept Tracy Jordan onto her show. Tracy is an ever so slightly insane, eccentric, unpredictable 'actor' who causes havoc pretty much wherever he goes. This is the basic premise, which gives rise to 21 witty, cleverly-scripted, original episodes in the first season alone. If you're looking for a basic sit-com which doesn't rock too many boats this probably isn't for you, ...

Review of 30 Rock - Series 1 - Complete (DVD)

The "truth is stranger than fiction"

Advantages: makes you feel warm and fluffy inside
Disadvantages: a bit of a weak ending

...films we picked up was Stranger than fiction, because he loves Will Farrell. I wasn't that bothered, and didn't really pay much attention, as we had also picked up a copy of Family Guy, Blue Harvest. Anyway I digress, I think my padding here is done… ~The Film~ The protagonist is Harold Crick (played by Will Farrell), gifted with super human mental arithmetic skills, so naturally, working for the IRS. Harold is a solitary existence, his only "friends" ...
...does interact with on a daily basis, he is straight laced and focused on work, compelled to live his life following as many rules and routines as possible. The film begins, and a woman, with an English accent is narrating, as if reading from a book, or as if film's script had been taken straight from a novel, sort of like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Harold goes about his daily life, and then one day, whilst brushing his teeth, 13 strokes ...

Review of Stranger Than Fiction (Blu-Ray)

More shoes than Trannies

Advantages: harmless feelgood movie
Disadvantages: Could have researched trannies much deeper

The film looks nice and the basic plot is OK. It's based on a true story about a boot & shoes factory that is on the verge of going under but is saved from the axe by starting to produce footwear for crossdressers, we then follow how that change effects those who work there. I'm sure the story was vigorously brutalized to have maximum impact on the viewers at the cinema. Non TV's (transvestites) and people who don't know any TV's are going to leave ...
...Lola's definition of TV (they're nothing like Brezhnev in a dress darling, get your research right) and thinking more drag queen. Lola can't seem to decide if she's a TV or a drag queen. Most drag queens are gay men pastiching women. Most TV's are straight men who want to wear womens clothes for pleasure, comfort or excitement. Simple as that. I have no idea where they filmed "The Angel Bar", but it looked very much like Madame Jo Jo's in Soho. If ...

Advantages: THE BEST SITCOM EVER !!!
Disadvantages: N.O.T.H.I.N.G.

Porridge - The Complete Series Box Set Contains all series 1,2 and 3 And the Christmas Specials. Written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais. This is my all time favourite comedy.

It followed Norman Stanley Fletcher being escorted to Prison by Mr McKay and Mr Barrowclough. Fletch ...
