Advantages: Characters, Tension. Disadvantages: Not for everyone.
Tense stuff. Just don't show it to the kids."The things I do--I do them because I like them. Because I want to.''
-- 'Machine' (Chris Bauer)
8mm exhibits bad taste and may be shocking to most people, but to me it felt like a movie with serious intent, especially seen as though it tracks the descent of Tom Welles (Nicolas Cage), as the ordinary guy, into the nasty, immoral world of underground pornography. The character, understandably, is tormented, mentally, as he simply cannot accept why all the evil surrounding him exists.

Another installement to my DVD collection - the epic and classic comedy hero - Mr Bean. I love Rowan Atkinson, especially in Black Adder and also in the classic Mr Bean episodes.

This DVD contains 3 episodes, each with 3 or 4 sketches in them.

'The Curse Of Mr Bean', Episode 2. 'Mr Bean Goes To Town ...
