I'm down with this film!
Advantages: Great story, lovely costumes, quirky
Disadvantages: None really
Barbara Novak takes the world by storm when she arrives in New York with her brand new book aimed at women called 'Down With Love'. Soon, all women are learning to use men as and when they please, but this of course upsets the men of the country because the women aren't doing what they're told anymore. Journalist Catcher Block is determined to expose Barbara for not believing in her own rules, and decides to date her disguised as an astronaut Zip ...
...plan for Catcher, especially when you factor in his best friend Peter and Barbara's editor Vikki. Will Barbara find out the truth about "Zip", and is Barbara really all she seems? I'm not a huge fan of Renee Zellweger other than in the Bridget Jones films which I think she's fabulous in, but I decided to record the other night on Sky Plus to watch on one of those evenings where there is nothing else on to watch. The 1960's isn't overly of interest ...

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’. Carr himself was voted number 12 in the ‘Top 100 Comedians’. Personally I love Jimmy Carr. Then again, I love a lot of the modern comedians, ...
...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. One of Jimmy Carr’s previous DVDs opens with a warning: “This show is not for the easily offended, this is not even for those difficult to offend, this show is for people without moral compass.” Not only is this true for the DVD is was on, ...

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 ...
