Ringmaster - The Jerry Springer Movie DVD

Advantages: The music is good
Disadvantages: It went way over my head!

...I was doing a spot of Christmas shopping in HMV, and as ever ended up buying something for myself rather than a present! The "Jerry Springer the opera" DVD grabbed my attention since it was only £3.99. When this was on at the theatre I heard some really good reviews about it, but since I don't live near London anymore I don't really get the chance to go to the theatre much so wasn't able to see it. I know that watching something on DVD can't ever begin to compare with the theatre, but I thought it would at least give me an idea of what I missed out on (or not)! I was also intrigued to watch a musical rated an "18" certificate. I thought the start of the musical was promising, and the music tunes catchy. The set does look just like a Jerry Springer show and there are security guards which add to the effect and realism. The chorus... Read review

Advantages: Full of features, very funny
Disadvantages: Slightly crude in places

...This DVD contains one of the greatest films of '99. Austin Powers' sequel is even funnier, cruder and stupider than the first. It involves pretty much the same characters, except with the addition of a few new ones such as Minime, the dwarfed version of Dr Evil, Austin Powers' archenemy. Featuring Jerry Springer, Heather Graham, and Mike Myers in various guises, this DVD is definitely worth getting. It also contains a large number of Special Features, including Music Videos from Mel B and Lenny Kravitz, and full behind-the-scenes documentaries, not to mention all the hysterical deleted scenes, that, in my opinion should have been kept in the movie anyway. This film is DEFINITELY worth a buy.... Read review

Advantages: A funny horror spoof film
Disadvantages: Are there too many spoofs made now

.... But it was taking the Mickey out of a lot of movies and that was a good thing. So, a while back I went and bought the film on DVD, it’s got some good extras and was worth its £10. Here’s my op on a (not so) ‘Scary Movie’, M xx • What’s this film about? The best way to describe it is; have you seen Scream? Well, almost identical to that! But if you do want a plot line then here goes; A group of friends (Cindy, Bobby, Greg, Buffy, Ray and Brenda) are being terrorised one by one by a serial killer at their local school. After a discussion they wonder if it had anything to do with the guy they killed a year ago to the day and dumped his body. Each ones get a note (I personally loved Greg’s not best!) from the killer talking of that night a year ago. The body count goes up as the group of friends go down. Who is the serial killer? Who will survive... Read review
