Review of Ah! My Goddess Vol.1 (DVD)

Great Anime

Advantages: Funny
Disadvantages: Special eps needed

The anime has a slightly diffrent story to it than the manga does but that does mean that it is watchable for those who have read the mangas like myself. Although I didn't like how the DVD set missed out some of the stories that you have to buy on special episodes and such, that made watching this quite hard when it skips out a huge chunk. You don't really notice the missing plot unless you have already read the manga though, so I would recommend ...
...also get the special episodes so they don't miss a huge chunk of the story out. Other than the missing part, the DVD and the anime itself is certainly worth buying and watching. I enjoyed this to the last episode, though the added features are nothing intresting, who watches them anyway, haha. ...

The wedding of the year 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding'

Advantages: Fun, nice story
Disadvantages: Predictable

I first watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding a few years ago and although it hasn't become one of my favourite films, I do still watch it from time to time. The film first came out in 2002 so has been around for quite a while now. The story of the film is based around a character called Toula Portokalos (Christina Eleusiniotis). Toula is from a greek family, who take the traditions of their culture very seriously. Her family own a resteraunt called 'Dancing ...
...her thirties and yet has never really done anything with her life. She is plain and no-one really notices her as she goes around her everyday life. One day Toula decides to do something about her life and signs up to a college course. It isn't easy for her to persuade her Father Gus (Michael Constantine), but her Mother Maria (Lainie Kazan) manages to help her. Once she has started the course she starts to feel more confident in herself and decides ...

Offender of the Universe

Advantages: sick slick rapid succession of one line jokes
Disadvantages: turns the air blue, plenty of bad language, not for the easily offended

Jimmy Carr is the Marmite of Comedy, you either love him or hate him, there’s not really much in between. On the UK comedy scene for the past 10 years, he has become more and more known over the past few years, in particular as host of comedy quiz ‘8 out of 10 cats’ and voice of many a Channel 4 ‘Top 100 shows’.

...over the past decade. Jimmy Carr Telling Jokes is his latest DVD release. There are four previous releases of his stage show, all recorded at the Bloomsbury Theatre in London over time from 2005 until this year.

Fawlty towers (Timeless comedy)

Advantages: Very verry funny
Disadvantages: none

...box set has them all. Fawlty towers is a hotel in Torquay, which is based on a real hotel (Gleneagles in torquay) where the monty python team stayed. All the other pythons left but John Cleese decided to stay and get material from this manager. He invited his wife Connie Booth to come and stay with him, and they began writing Fawlty Towers. The first series was shown in 1973. John Cleese plays the happless Basil Fawlty, who is Married to Cybil ...
...and the only one who is sensible and she is person who makes the beds and sets the tables. Manwell (Andrew Sachs) is the spannish waiter who can speak virtually no English. This allows for a lot of funny scenes. It is a sad thing that there were only 12 episodes made, but it may have made it become tired when they try and do too much. The 2nd series didn't come while four years later in 1977, and at this time John Cleese and Connie Booth were also ...
