Eddie Murphy Box Set - Trading Places / Coming To America (Box Set)

Advantages: The best of Eddie Izzard in just one box!
Disadvantages: People spot it and want to borrow it!

...MMVI Eddie Izzard live Box Set Unrepeatable, Definate Article, Glorious, Dress to Kill, Circle & Sexie all in one beautiful box set. I have one question for starters. Do you like Eddie Izzard? If the answer is YES! then buy this box set! It's Eddie at his absolute best with so much choice of what to watch. The shows featured range from 1994 to 2003, although Eddie has been around a lot longer! Unrepeatable is the very first glimpse we have in this fine selection. Filmed in 1994 and including DVD extras such as an Audio Commentary, Trivia Track, Photo Gallery and a Bleeped Audio Track. The audio tracks are definately worth a listen once you've watched the show properly as its Eddie, seemingly off the cuff making remarks on his own work - classic comedy. Definate Article is next in the showcase, filmed in 1996... Read review

Advantages: Great comedy, good storyline.
Disadvantages: None.

...us in the film, which I thought was very funny and well incorporated. John Landis directs coming to America and I feel he has given us an excellent and very entertaining film. John Landis is now a very accomplished Director who has brought us other great entertainment films such as Trading Places, An American Werewolf in London, The Three Amigos, Oscar and Spies like Us. He does a fantastic job with this film giving it great entertainment value in my opinion. Finally, my review would not be complete without mentioning the Barber Shop scenes that regularly appear through the film in which we see both Murphy and Hall dress up as different characters in the film and again give us very entertaining and comical performances to entertain us. Eddie Murphy not only stars as Prince Akeem in the film, but as Clarence, Randy Watson and Saul... Read review

Advantages: Gripping stories, wonderful acting
Disadvantages: the accent can be a bit tricky in some episodes

...I love James Nesbitt and was rather disappointed when Cold Feet came to an end (I bought that boxset too), but he has once again excelled himself with Murphy's Law. The stories revolves round James playing Murphy, an undercover police officer and he takes on some great cases. The first series seemed to go on forever and ever, but I am a bit dissapointed with the following one, as each one is only approx 45-50 minutes long. Series 3 is the same undercover case throughout the whole series, which is the first time they tried that and it worked. The whole set is gripping from start to finish. One of the episodes is set in Northen Ireland and I think some people may find the accents a bit hard to understand, but I just turned the TV up louder and it helped. It is an absolutely thrilling programme and James is definately the star throughout... Read review
