****Chobits disk 1**** Chobits is a 26 episode long Japanese manga series.It has been quite popular and can be bought to read,on dvd and there is also a video game out for it. The four episodes on disk one are called-chi awakens,chi goes out,chi learns and chi goes on errands. The series is about a guy called Hideki Motosuwa who at the beginning of the series has just moved to the city and is planing to attend a prep school so that he can get ...

Persocoms are computers that look just like people,toy figures or animals.When he turns it on (switches on in a completely dodgy place) all it can say is chi and that is how it gets its name.The episodes then centre around Hideki's relationship with Chi and without giving anything away there he gets into some pretty embarrassing situations.A major theme in this series is obviously the persocome-human ...

On The Road

Advantages: Enjoyable and well-made film
Disadvantages: Might be too self-effacing for some

...always badgering her drunk-looking husband Kikujiro (Beat's part) badgers him into taking the boy to see his mother. Of course the irresponsible guy delays things by a couple of days whilst he gambles away the boy's savings until they finally get going. At this point the film comes into its own and becomes basically a road movie. The point of the mission is sometimes forgotten as Beat takes over and changes from being a useless petty thug of a layabout ...
...turns to protectiveness and a desire to make the boy happy. The journey becomes one long series of episodes where Beat uses his surroundings and the people they meet to this end. Does the boy get to his mother? That is something for you to discover from seeing the film. Suffice to say that there is drama as well as comedy in this movie, although the tone is gently upbeat. The acting is of a uniformly high standard. Kitano is his customary mixture ...

The Definitive PORRIDGE.

Advantages: THE BEST SITCOM EVER !!!
Disadvantages: N.O.T.H.I.N.G.

Porridge - The Complete Series Box Set Contains all series 1,2 and 3 And the Christmas Specials. Written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais. This is my all time favourite comedy. Time line: ~~~~~~~ It all began on the 1st of April (aptly enough) in 1973 when a pilot aired on the BBC called ‘Prisoner and Escort’. It followed Norman Stanley Fletcher being escorted to Prison by Mr McKay and Mr Barrowclough. Fletch ...
...BBC Britain's Best Sitcom on Porridge in full (approx 1 hour). No Way Out (Christmas Eve 1975) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In his innocence, Godber is looking forward to Christmas, but fletch knows that if, ''there's one big event around here, it's not the coming of our lord, it's the leaving of Tommy slocombe". And this Christmas, he is determined to stay well clear of the tunnelling Tommy slocombe, his dodgy mates and their even dodgier plans for ...

You are my Sunshine!

Advantages: Good roles played by the characters
Disadvantages: Shoddy editing and camerawork

For a movie generated from the Amerindie algorithm of family dysfunction, road-trip catharsis and studied quirk, this dark-edged ensemble comedy often borders on the loveable – as if a long-division problem had somehow become self-aware and started pining for a heart, a brain and some nerve. The yellow brick freeway in ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ leads to a girls’ beauty contest for Olive (Abigail Breslin), a cutie pie who’s nonetheless not quite pageant ...
...no other reason, Olive’s entire family must pile into a wheezing van to deliver her to the competition for the titular crown: Uncle Frank (Steve Carell) recently survived a suicide attempt, mum (Toni Collette) is loving but overextended, dad (Greg Kinnear) is an aspiring self-help guru and therefore a nightmare, brother Dwayne (Paul Dano) is a teenager and therefore mute and sulking, and grandpa (Alan Arkin) is a grandpa and therefore crusty and ...
