Roy Chubby Brown - Dirty Weekend In Blackpool This is a DVD that I received for my Christmas; I have also been a huge fan of Chubby and his antics. Given the fact that this review can be read by anyone I will not be using any inappropriate language or reference to his stand up shows. The main man himself Chubby - Born "Royston Vasey" on February the 3rd 1945 at Grangetown in Middlesbrough, He left home at the age of 14 years of age, living rough and having many part time jobs, time where difficult for him. Previous jobs even include the royal navy. His first appearance on national television was way back in 1970 when he appeared in a show called New Faces; he came second on that particular episode.

Review of Roy Chubby Brown - Dirty Weekend In Blackpool Live (DVD)

Still Waters , Run Cheap......except on DVD

Advantages: Seems to Capture the moment in time.....
Disadvantages: Nothing like the real show....

by David Gilmour will know exactly what I mean....especially after watching the live 8 concert.... Soon after this we are down to the symbolic event of the " Wall " coming down, along with all the caricatures and cartoon characters drawn by Gerald Scarfe, which were all projected onto the massive full size cardboard " Wall " which spanned the length of the stage.......Visually Stunning Indeed.....but musically a pale shadow of what it should have been..... We then get a new song from Roger Waters to finish off the show called....The Tide is Turning....and thats it...... Overall, a pretty poor concert, looks much better on DVD than it did on the day I was there..... All in all......just another prick at the Wall.......in Berlin.. DVD Extras... This is quite an old one, so there is very little on here, just a few snippets ...

Living In Oblivion review

Advantages: Well acted, keeps you engaged throughout
Disadvantages: None

Living In Oblivion is a low budget independent film written and directed by Tom DiCillo and starring Steve Buscemi and Dermot Mulroney.

If it was a film about the making of a film and you had George Clooney and Brad Pitt pretending to be small time actors you wouldn't believe it. That's why it was better to use less well known actors, it pulls you more into the story. The film takes place during one day on set of a low budget movie, and documents all the problems that the director, Nick (Buscemi), and everyone else can encounter, from equipment malfunctioning to office politics to actors forgetting their lines. It's almost like a documentary, it is very realistic and gives you the complete story as to what it's like trying to get a film made. There are a few ...
