Extremely Dodgy Spy Spoof

Advantages: David Niven is OK... Just
Disadvantages: Ludicrous plot, bad performances

...and their grip on the Casino Royale... I think. There are also other characters called James Bond including one played by Peter Sellars and one by Woody Allen. You can probably tell from the brief and fairly confused synopsis that this is a fairly confused film that unfortunately is not mercifully brief. With a star-studded cast such as the one assembled here (add to these Orson Welles, William Holden, Ursula Andress, Deborah Kerr and Ronnie Corbett ...
...fails to be entertaining. One of the key problems is that it makes very little sense. The plot is incredibly confused and although perhaps not essential to such a film, you do need to have some understanding of what is going on. This was not helped by the fact that 5 directors were on board (including Huston). It also suffers from actually not being very funny too despite the roster of 'comic' actors. Niven probably fairs the best as the aging Bond ...

Review of Casino Royale (DVD)

Good films, good price

Advantages: A good Comdey
Disadvantages: Can seem to last a bit to long

When I thought of the Pink Panther, I did not actually think of these films, I honestly thought of the little cartoon based on the films which are also featured in this DVD boxset, the films themselves are classics and are decent in their own right. The first 2 films in the set are the best of the lot, while the rest of them just seem to be a bit long winded and they start to loose a bit of the apeal. They are still a great comedy to watch and I ...
...with a bit of time between them otherwise you can get a bit bored. I was deffinatly glad that it included the wonderful cartoons that I remembered from my childhood, they were as brillent as I remebered and I probably would have bought a DVD with just them on. ...

Review of The Pink Panther Film Collection (Box Set) (DVD)

Wilde at his Best

Advantages: Script, Performances & Look
Disadvantages: None

...gentle through the life of an up and coming politician Sir Robert Chiltern, his wife, sister and best friend (Lord Goring). There are dark moments when Sir Robert has to choose his country or himself but all is resolved in the end. What truly makes this special is the language used, the sarcasm flows like honey and the one-upmanship is only thinly disguised. ...

Review of An Ideal Husband (DVD)

Murder can perk up a marriage

Advantages: an almost perfect romantic comedy and an almost perfect detective story rolled up in one
Disadvantages: probably not for young children

...boyfriend), you´re likely to enjoy Manhattan Murder Mystery. Woody Allen is there, but doesn´t dominate the movie, and Diane Keaton has more screen-time than he does,(so if you also hate Diane Keaton, this probably really isn´t a film for you). Alan Alda plays the third character in the film´s romantic triangle, so Alan Alda lover/haters -- take note. The plot is that the Diane Keaton character is getting bored in her marriage with the Woody Allen ...
...starts playing detective with the Allen Alda character, investigating the suspicious death of an elderly neighbour which begins to look more and more like murder. One of the things that is so marvellous about this film is that it is two different kinds of movies at the same time – romantic comedy and detective story – and both genres are pulled off flawlessly and seamlessly interwined. The love story is ultimately moving, the comedy is really funny, ...

Review of Manhattan Murder Mystery (DVD)

You'd be a cotton headed ninny muggins if you didnt watch it.

Advantages: Amazing christmas film, very funny, a joy to watch
Disadvantages: None

...bright yellow stockings and funny elf hat. He looks like he should have outgrown them along time ago. He seems to be very lost most of the time and this expression is the one you see very often on his face. He is also very sensitive which makes him very funny to watch in certain parts especially when he finds out his dads on the naughty list. When he gets excited about something he gets over excited and hyper and when he gets upset he gets extremely ...
...i think of them and Elf is now also on that list in my opinion it is definitely a Christmas classic. If you have not seen this i really do recommend that you do, the actors and actresses in this film are excellent and the clothes used on Buddy the elf, the elves and Santa are very colorful and the elves except for Buddy actually do look like elves. Well buddy does look like a elf just a abnormally large one LOL. James Caan who plays the role of ...
