This is a proper superhero movie . Downey plays a blinder as the bad guy turned good . What I liked about this film is it just lets you think you can catch your breath then it hits you with another action sequence . And its all action from start to finish . Bring on the sequel.........

The Complete Fawlty Towers [1975]

CD-Charts > DVD > DVD Bargains
starring: John Cleese, Prunella Scales, Andrew Sachs, Connie Booth, Bernard Cribbins
directed by: Bob Spiers, John Howard-Davies

Release Date October 03, 2005
This is a unique combination of some fairly 'intellectual' and witty sayings with slapstick humour and it works brilliantly. Most comedies that are aired by the BBC are not usually repeatedly viewed as they are frankly not good enough but if they were viewed repeatedly then huge holes would appear in the plot.

I am not an expert on what makes a comedy work but these episodes contain a good story line, tension, brilliant timing, clever spatial arrangements, facial expressions, pauses and witty lines and the combination is hilarious.

It contains some allusions that would only have been picked up by a reasonably well educated audience in the 1970s e.g jokes about types of wine and the preparation of certain sorts of cuisine and ... Read More:

This film is great. It is a really good idea to start of as a cartoon then use real people in the real world.
I have watched it over and over and still love it and laugh and sing along.

The Wire : Complete HBO Season 1

CD-Charts > DVD > DVD Bargains
starring: Dominic West, Sonja Sohn

Release Date April 18, 2005
After Soprano's came to an end last year over here in blighty last year I was wondering would another series come along to give it a run for it's money.

I'm not sure what people think of David Chase's Mafia Epic but I can imagine cries of overrated being called out, I personally found utterly engrossing TV and simply sublime, I was somewhat sad to see it end but grateful Chase chose it to go out on high and yes I was perfectly happy with the opened ended abrupt ending to the final episode. Chase never was going to do conventional.

While I admit Showtime's Dexter started to fill that void, the 1st season was a great intro to the world of Miami's most interesting serial killer the 2nd season took the concept and ran with it, the 3rd season ... Read More:

Stardust [2007]

CD-Charts > DVD > DVD Bargains
starring: Michelle Pfeiffer, Clare Danes, Charlie Cox, Robert De Niro, Sienna Miller
directed by: Matthew Vaughn

Release Date February 25, 2008
This is not a film i wanted to see but my girlfriend pursuaded me to watch it. It was fun and light, with some more darker scenes. I thought the acting was done well and the special effects were very good.

It's not a serious film with a serious story but the story line was easy to follow and thoroughly enjoyable as you (as the viewer) were introduced to different charactrs.

Would recommend to anyone with a lighter side.

Mock The Week - Too Hot For TV [2005]

CD-Charts > DVD > DVD Bargains
starring: Frankie Boyle, Hugh Dennis, Andy Parsons, Russell Howard, Dara O'Briain

Release Date November 26, 2007
I am a fan of the TV show, seen them all, so when I saw this in the sale had to give it a try. Some of the stuff in this is so outrageous that I am a little suprised it made it on DVD, but I am glad it did. Some of the stuff on this had me crying with laughter. A must purchase (unless you are easily offended!)

Blackadder: Complete Collection - BBC Series 1-4 & The Specials

CD-Charts > DVD > DVD Bargains
starring: Rowan Atkinson, Tony Robinson, Tim McInnerny, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie
directed by: Martin Shardlow, Mandie Fletcher, Richard Boden

Release Date October 03, 2005
Though it's nice to have the entire Blackadder collection in one neat DVD-set, there's no comparison between Season One (1983) and the subsequent three seasons.

The 1983 series was directed by Rowan Atkinson (Blackadder) and Richard Curtis. Though Brian Blessed is a superb actor, the dialogue is mildly amusing at best. It simply can't hold a candle to the 1985, 1987 and 1989 seasons - all directed by Richard Curtis and Ben Elton. Season 2 is set in the first Elizabethan Era (late 16th century). Miranda Richardson is hilarious as Queen Elizabeth and it also features a young(ish) Stephen Fry as Lord Melchett. Season 3 is probably my favourite; it's set in the Regency period (early 19th century) where Hugh Laurie excels as Prince George. In one classic episode called ... Read More:
