Frankie Boyle Live [2008]

CD-Charts > DVD > Categories
by: Frankie Boyle

Release Date November 10, 2008
Having waited impatiently for the release of this DVD since Amazon listed it, i have to say this is everything it promised to be.

Frankie Boyle's humour isn't to everyone's taste, not so much near the knuckle as dead on it; crude, rude and offensively hilarious.

It's true that you've heard quite a number of the jokes before, but 90-99% of them? Come on. Each of the old favourites we've all heard before from Mock the Week was sandwiched between new, extremely funny observations and quick witted remarks. I'm the sort of sad freak who's watched all the Mock the Week episodes and relived them all on Dave. (So glad i wasn't sitting front row for any of Frankie's shows, he'd have had a field day taking the P out of me, i'm ... Read More:

Release Date November 24, 2008
The film is fantastic, one of my all time favourites, but why is the free slinky so small - it won't even go down my stairs, surely this is the defining reason slinkies exist?!?

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor [2008]

CD-Charts > DVD > Categories
starring: Brendan Fraser, Jet Li, Maria Bello, John Hannah, Michelle Yeoh
directed by: Rob Cohen

Release Date December 01, 2008
Could this be an utterly soul-less movie for the sake of producing a trilogy? If so, I hope it's the end for this franchise.

Rachel Weisz's creation of Evie is completely destroyed in the hands of ham-actress Maria Bello, who transforms the feisty but principled wife into a greedy action heroine more suited to a Terminator movie.

The script and plot are laughable - there isn't a scrap of tension or excitement. The finale is all too contrived and rushed, to the point you ask yourself "is that it?"

Iron Man [2008]

CD-Charts > DVD > Categories
starring: Robert Downey Jr., Terrence Howard, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges
directed by: Jon Favreau

Release Date October 27, 2008
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.........

Bill Bailey - Tinselworm [2008]

CD-Charts > DVD > Categories
by: Bill Bailey

Release Date November 10, 2008
I am a fairly new Bill Bailey fan. I first noticed him on buzzcocks and found him hilarious. I decided from Buzzcocks alone that he was a comedy genius...

This is the first live show I have seen, as I am in the process of ordering his older shows, and I have to say I was throughly disappointed with this.

Where were the jokes? The gags? Non-existent...I barely cracked a smile.

I heard that Bill likes to mix in music with his shows - Fair plays. This was too much though. It was all sing song and became very annoying after the first ten minutes. The music was milked to the last drop and it went sour fast.

If I am to be honest, and I hate to say this, I will have to state that the show was absolute rubbish. My ... Read More:

The Dark Knight (2 Discs) [Blu-ray]

CD-Charts > DVD > Categories
starring: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal
directed by: Christopher Nolan

Release Date December 08, 2008
The movie is great, but this blu-ray comes in a variable aspect ratio, from 2:35:1 to 1:85:1, alternating from thatre and Imax versions...Well, for most people it may look nice, but i didn't like the effect on my 52 inch screen. In wide shots we have a 1:85 aspect ratio and the rest we have the cinemascope effect, so basicaly you see the movie alternating with the black bars and full screen. It looks weird for such a good movie

Clarkson - Thriller [2008]

CD-Charts > DVD > Categories
by: Jeremy Clarkson
starring: Jeremy Clarkson

Release Date November 03, 2008
Wow, I really enjoyed this film. It has all the brilliant cars we'd all love to have in our garages. It's a showcase of the engineering masterpieces at the present day and age. And as usual, to tie things together, Clarkson's incessant humerous comments provide very frequent bouts of laughter which makes the journey to find the perfect thriller car a highly enjoyable experience.

The only thing I didn't like in the film was that a whole segment towards the middle is based on blowing things up rather than finding the perfect thrill.

It's a very enjoyable film to watch for all the petrol-heads out there and I'd highly recommend it.

Keep it up Clarkson!
