The Complete Fawlty Towers [1975]

CD-Charts > DVD > Categories
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 ... Read More:

directed by: Kevin Lima

Release Date April 07, 2008
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.

I was pleasantly surprised. It was much better than I thought. Although, no Colin still quite enjoyable. Lake scene was a riot! A nice twist to the story. As she says in the movie, "Jane Austen is rolling in her grave." lol

Sleeping Beauty (50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) [1958]

CD-Charts > DVD > Categories
starring: Mary Costa, Bill Shirley, Eleanor Audley, Verna Felton
directed by: Clyde Geronimi

Release Date October 27, 2008
I'm afraid I have to agree with the earlier reviewer who said there is a fault with the DVD.

I have a 4:3 television and set my DVD player to letterbox. The film does not play in the correct aspect ratio, losing some of the picture at either side. Considering that one of the selling points of the 50th anniversary edition is that you get the entire original picture this is really disappointing. In addition, the picture appears to be somewhat squashed together so that the characters in the film appear far thinner then they should.

Initially I thought it was my DVD player causing the problems but I have no trouble with any of my other disks. After doing some research online at several other DVD review sites it appears that this is a problem experienced ... Read More:

Mamma Mia! Gift Set [2008]

CD-Charts > DVD > Categories
starring: Julie Walters, Stellan Skarsgaard, Colin Firth, Christine Baranski, Amanda Seyfried
directed by: Phyllida Lloyd

Release Date November 24, 2008
I am what you might call a Mamma Mia addict - I saw it five times at the cinema, and am just about to start watching the DVD for the second time since it arrived on Monday. There is a very good reason for it....the film is fantastic! So funny and light-hearted, and even though some of the singing is quite ropey, this only adds to the film's charm. Meryl Streep's rendition of "The Winner Takes It All" is incredible. If you never buy another DVD again, buy this one! (And the gift set with diary, pen and "surprise" is good too!)

Camp Rock [2008]

CD-Charts > DVD > Categories
starring: Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, Julie Brown, Maria Canals, Daniel Fathers
directed by: Matthew Diamond

Release Date December 01, 2008
'Camp Rock' is what I would describe as a good substitute for the finished series of the 'High School Musical' films.
It ticks all the typical Disney movie boxes; shy, unpopular leading lady, hot crush (Joe Jonas), nasty blonde rich girl & a good ol' moral at the end.
'Camp Rock' is better than 'High School Musical 2' but not better than 1 & 3. I don't think there's a mere chance of any Disney musical having a hit bigger than 'Breaking Free' but 'Camp Rock' does have a few catchy tunes, the best being 'This Is Me' sung by Demi Lovato & Joe Jonas.
Ah, the Jonas Brothers. Three pop-rock virgins with a loyal tween fan base, teamed with Disney, a match made in heaven. The middle Jonas (Joe)has the most air time, the other two aren't really in the film for longer ... Read More:

Russell Howard Live [2008]

CD-Charts > DVD > Categories
from: Channel 4 DVD

Release Date November 17, 2008
I own a lot of comedy DVDs, I watch a lot of live comedy, I watch a lot of TV comedy, I like comedy. I was suprised just how poor the comedy is in this DVD, Russell Howard seems to have very funny lines on Mock the Week, and it seemed I was not to be disappointed with the first few minutes of this DVD. However for the remainder (all except the last few minutes) I was staring blankly at the screen waiting for the man to say something vaguely funny. I am sorry Russell but your live routines just don't transfer to DVD which is a shame as I thought you might be at the leading edge of the 'new' comics (Frankie Boyle/Jimmy Carr/Sean Lock etc), lets hope like a good cheese he matures.
