The Laughs Aren't Filtered Out

Advantages: Remains refreshing after multiple views; a nice alternative to the slurry of poor recent comedy films
Disadvantages: Perhaps not to everyone's taste

...tongue firmly in cheek, deliciously abstract and a claim that is testament to the dark humour layered throughout the story. Thank You For Smoking has a wit which is unquestionably infectious - one of 2006's best comedies, and safe to say a "must-buy" on DVD. ...

Review of Thank You For Smoking (DVD)

Thank heaven for Liz Lemon

Advantages: great writing, endlessly quotable, great performances,
Disadvantages: no dvd extras,

...surprised to see that the 30 Rock Season 1 dvd only had one review. Why? Well, 1 - because it's possibly the best comedy out there at the minute and 2 - because recently it's stock has risen dramatically with Tina Fey's popularity following her Sarah Palin impression and articles in the Guardian. I have no doubt that the show's popularity will sky rocket over the next couple of months and the number of reviews increase but for the moment here's my ...
...thing to say is that 30 Rock is that Tina Fey executive produces, writes and stars in 30 Rock. It is her baby, set in a world which she knows very well. 30 Rock concerns itself with the set of The Girlie Show (a fictional Saturday Night Live kinda show) on NBC (a real network). Fey was once a cast member and head writer of Saturday Night Live. 30 Rock follow's Fey's The Girlie Show head writer Liz Lemon as she has to deal with her new Network Executive ...

Review of Extras - Series 2 - Complete (DVD)

Watchable.

Advantages: Different, Good Cast
Disadvantages: Not for me, over hype.

Little Miss Sunshine was one of those films that everyone but me seemed to have seen, and so I decided it was on my list of films to see. It sounded quite good as I had heard really good things about it and thought the fact it had been nominated for Oscars really made it appeal much more. So when a friend offered to lend me it after I spotted it in their DVD collection I did of course say yes. Its a quirky American comedy, with a plot that hasn’t ...
...make the trip to the little miss sunshine beauty pageant, with a lot of mishaps along the way, most of which no one was expecting. However, when I say dysfunctional they really are dysfunctional with each one having some strange quirk, except for Sheryl, the overworked mother who holds everything together. The rest of the Hoover family consists of Olive, Edwin, Frank, Dwayne and Richard. Frank is Sheryl’s gay brother, who moves in with the family ...

Review of Little Miss Sunshine (DVD)

Weak Ugly Betty Rip-Off

Advantages: Hathaway, pretty from start to finish
Disadvantages: Very boring and too long

...book, basically they totally stole the idea for the film and the book from Ugly Betty. How well can a new but not stunningly pretty girl fit into the world of fashion whilst gradually getting prettier every scene until she's a stunner. Anne Hathaway is far too pretty to be playing a girl being called "fat" or unattractive. I'm a straight man, I have eyes and I happen to think she's stunning. And nothing Meryl Streep says (no matter what tone of voice ...
...this after seeing Glen Close play Cruella DeVille as their both playing very similar character types. You can see how the plot is going to play out from a mile away and it's far too predictable. Good for Anne Hathaway fans only. (this review also appears on dooyoo) ...
