Laurel & Hardy, Laughs above the rest.

Advantages: Funny, clean humour that stands the test of time.
Disadvantages: Absolutely none!

...it where it belongs. Laurel & Hardy despite their lack of the above mentioned "humour" have managed to do something that only modern comedians can dream about. They kept the world laughing consistently for years and have continued to do so 60 years after their deaths. I don't know any modern "great" that I'd remember and still be talking about in a year if he disappeared today. There is one exception and I just did a review on that yesterday, but ...
...a nice box with the Laurel & Hardy logo and a pic of the happy two on the top & sides. Opening the box you are presented with a row of real DVD disc boxes, not the usual cardboard or pocket type rubbish. Each disc spine has the part of a picture that makes up the duo's bowler hats when stacked together. The discs are numbered 1-21 with the last one having a title "A special tribute to the boys" along with other comedy shorts. Please note that the ...

Review of Laurel And Hardy (Box Set) (DVD)

remember not to tell luke that his father is darth vader

Advantages: is very funny, actually adapts very well to the story line of the film, can be very entertaining
Disadvantages: is a bit overpriced at some places, not for those easily offended

...it is essentially an extended episode, and at the prices it is availiable at some stores like tesco, an utter rip off. this is definately also not for the children or easily offended, but definately worth purchasing at the right price for fans of both star wars and family guy ...

Review of Family Guy Presents Blue Harvest (DVD)

Bee Movie: strange, idiosyncratic Seinfeld-esque animated film

Advantages: Fun and unique
Disadvantages: A bit clunky and awkward at times

...in animated cinema, but in Bee Movie, written by comedy giant Jerry Seinfeld, one is driven to ask – is this one step too far? Bee Movie is essentially an allegory of the drudgery of human existence, namely as it pertains to one’s working life. Our protagonist, Barry Benson (Jerry Seinfeld), a bee, has recently graduated and become disenfranchised with the idea of making honey for the rest of his life. Through a series of events, Benson comes to ...
...the ankle-biting target audience. Bee Movie also employs a rather strange means of character modelling – the bee characters resemble human beings more than in any other film such as this, with even their skin tones closely resembling the white cross-section of society. When you combine this with the fact that the bees drive cars to work, it would at times become easy to forget that this is even a film about insects. As questionable as the film’s ...

Diana Trent (Stephanie Cole): is a retired photo-journalist who has found herself in a retirement home and is ...
...the condescending staff at Bayview and her frustration is soon channeled into attempts to get up the noses of the management of the retirement home especially Harvey Bains (Known as the 'Idiot Bains') She is often crusading for the sake of all the residents of Bayveiw the fact that this winds up Harvey is always her little bonus. Whether she is winding the mobile library woman up the wall or attacking the hapless gardener she is an OAP with attitude. ...
