Fish - Kettle Of Fish (DVD)

The Fish goes down a treat

Advantages: Hilarious, great cast, original, fantastic script
Disadvantages: The sequel

I have avoided reviewing the product of the week for two reasons: Firstly, I never felt I really had any invested interest in the products that were available each week and secondly, I found it a bit tedious (Like many I imagine) to continue to read review about the same thing over and over again while still remaining unbiased and I felt I couldn?t expect anyone else to do so with any more gusto then I could muster up. Imagine my surprise then, when I discover, this week?s product is the ultimate comedy classic A Fish Called Wanda ? a film that I have seen many, many times and can never run out of things to say about it. So for all you poor Wanda virgins, enjoy just a tiny glimpse into the film classic that is ?A Fish Called Wanda?. Director: Charles Crichton Writers: John Cleese and Charles Crichton Actors: John Cleese, Kevin ...

Review of A Fish Called Wanda (DVD)

Burton's Big Fish flounders..

Advantages: De Vito, Bonham Carter and Lange. Some great sets and effects
Disadvantages: Self indulgent, self aggradising, sentimental, saccharine soaked story - which misses the real point..

my eventual enjoyment of the film I firmly resisted the pull of the ?big screen experience? and waited patiently for it?s release on DVD, satisfied that I had not succumb to the mass advertising and hype which surrounded it?s release. So, was it worth the wait? Well, yes and no. It is a ?big adventure? which has Tim Burton?s fertile, often visionary imagination stamped all over it. It brims with amazing sets, costumes and colours, and undoubtedly does good service to Daniel Wallace?s novel as a number of decent actors inject enough life into their characters to make them convincing and on the whole likeable. There?s nothing modest about the film?s ambition but there?s no denying the masterful touches with which Burton brings to life the fantasy alter-world in which the majority of the story is set. So it?s not a bad start ...

Review of Big Fish (DVD)

A corally fish.

Advantages: cute, soft
Disadvantages: retired

From an early age, my friends and I were addicted to collecting TY beanies. For those of you who do not know (where have you been?), TY Beanies are a collection of little teddies in all forms of animals and teddy bears. Once you start a collection they are quite addictive. You find you are always looking for new ones and cannot stop buying them - havoc for your wallet, heaven for your collection! One of the Beanies is a fish, who goes by the name of Coral. Its such a beautiful name - I was obsessed with sea coral as a child so this is a delightful treat for me. Coral is very attractive to look at too. She is coated in a delightful mix of rainbow colours: blues, yellows, pinks. She reminds me of the Rainbow Fish book every child will have read at some point, something else we can relate to with this fish. She is not as pluffed up as ...
