PARTY TIME, EXCELLENT

Advantages: just a good film
Disadvantages: none

I know this is an ancient film, but while looking through Sky Anytime, the tv on demand kind of thing on Sky+ and Sky HD boxes I saw they had this. I have watched this film loads of times years ago, and thought it was funny then, but would it be any good now - 17 years after it was made? This film is a comedy and mostly features the 2 main characters.Mike Myers plays Wayne Campbell, and Dana Carvey plays his best friend, Garth Algar. It also features ...
...The film is pretty funny and it kind of looks like a reality tv show, as Wayne and Garth keep talking to the camera. The storyline is that "Wayne's World" is a popular underground cable access TV show which is done in Wayne's basement by him, Garth and a couple of their rock friends. The show doesn't seem to last long, about three minutes, A businessman attempts, and succeeds to purchase Wayne's World to promote Noah's Arcade, a chain of game arcades ...

Max and Paddy's Power of two workout

Advantages: Funny in parts
Disadvantages: Rubbish workout

...comedy. Were big fans of max and paddy and most things peter kay has done but not this. In its defence there are a couple of funny moments but these are few and far between, and if your using this as a workout dvd the jokes will not be funny at all the 2nd time round. My advise is to stay away from this one. ...

Man o Man

Advantages: Witty, fast paced, classic
Disadvantages: A little cliched

...a list of 'oldies' on my DVD rental club and will admit that I only rented it because my man is called Godfrey! I popped onto Google to find out a little more to find that it has a list of recommendations including six academy award nominations and, being a skeptic, I think that it would have won a few if it wasn't subjected to the bias of the Academy against comedies! The action opens delving straight into the unfamiliar world of 1930s New York ...
...while a band of 'Forgotten Men' live on the city dumps. The spoiled daughter of a millionaire, Cornelia Bullock, is trying to convince one of the forgotten men to return into the city with her as one of the 'objects' on a scavanger hunt. She fails to convince the eloquent down-and-out Godfrey (William Powell) to return with her. Purely to spite Cornelia for her arrogance, Godfrey returns to the scavanger hunt but as an object scavanged by Cornelia's ...

One Man And A Piano

Advantages: fantastic comedy show
Disadvantages: some dodgy camera angles

...you would like. 1 Ready For This. This is the opening song for the show and Minchin comes onto the stage in a blaze of strobe lights and opens the show with a great little rock ditty where he manages to poke fun at himself while accompanied by a recording of him beatboxing with back up singers. 2 Prejudice In our modern free spoken society There is a word that we still hold taboo A word with a terrible history Of being used to ...
...to gingers, the playground taunt of choice. A hilarious song that manages to use more ginger puns than you thought existed! 3 America America is not a song but a stand up routine which discusses how forward Americans are compared to Australians and British people and are not afraid to shout about their achievements. Somehow the dialogue manages to veer onto the big bang and what will happen to a certain office block in Times Square in Manhattan ...

Review of Ready For This - Tim Minchin

A night you would want to remember!

Advantages: Funny, Famous cameo, Unpredictable
Disadvantages: slightly unbelievable at times.

Well I saw the Hangover in the cinema, and I plan on purchasing on DVD in the near future. I thought this film was hilarious - one of my friends more so as he decided to go to watch it in the cinema about 3 or 4 times! I personally felt the star of the show so to speak was Zach Galifianakis who played slightly odd soon to be brother in law Alan. I just thought his stupidity/twisted sense of humour was really funny, and entertained me all the way ...
...really, but at the same time quite amusing. I won't go into too much detail of what happens as I don't want to spoil any of the suprises during the film. Basically, the film is about a group of guys who go to Vegas for a bloke called Doug to have a stag night. Doug doesn't really feature in the film other than the beginning and end - as he goes missing - which is the point of the film. They wake up the morning after with a trashed hotel room, and ...
