This film really does my head in, and for that I have to thank it, intentional or not! I enjoyed the ride that this film took me on, never feeling that I had wasted 103 minutes of my time. Perhaps the fact that I am on leave from work and have time to kill had […]

Well ? much as I enjoyed all the moaning and complaining, I find it hard to elaborate here as I don?t want to spoil any surprises. Given that the subject is Christmas, it is not difficult to imagine what the topics of conversation would be. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to know […]

Refer to my review of ?Grumpy Old Men at Christmas? for this website, and whenever you see the word ?men?, ?fellas?, ?blokes? or ?uncles?, please substitute with ?women?, ?chicks?, ?sheilas? and ?aunties?. That should do it. Bar Humbug!
PS ? the WOMEN actually swear more than the men in this Christmas special, but then, they do […]

This great BBC sketch comedy series, created by talented duo Matt Lucas and David Walliams, and starring same, is back for a second season, and it is as good as the first. Ask these clever boys what their favourite characters are and they?ll tell you ? the gay ones, and the ones where they have […]

This British sketch comedy series probably falls under the shadow of the more well-known and popular ?Little Britain? series, but it is another great example of quality comedy, as only the quirky poms can dish out. This series also aired on the ABC in the last couple of years, and this is where I first […]

OK, because this comprehensive collection features ALL 124 Pink Panther cartoons ever made, there?s no way I?m going to list their titles! Rest assured, the word Pink features in all of them! Spanning the years 1964 to 1980, these stylish cartoons, averaging six minutes each, are still as appealing as they were upon initial release. […]

This is undoubtedly one of many documentaries exploring the life and times of Peter Sellers, but it?s an especially interesting and ?personal? one because it is composed almost entirely of footage shot by Sellers between 1948 and 1977. A lifelong fan of ?gadgets?, including prestige cars and model trains, I?m glad he felt passionately enough […]

This 95-minute film is a skilled attempt at the gentler, more analytical (i.e. less gory) end of the horror spectrum, let?s say moody horror, and I have found that Europeans do it well. Classed as a thriller, and I can?t knock this categorization, it is definitely watchable, relying on a growing sense of mystery rather […]

ABC DVD has released yet another volume of 9 episodes from this charming, and long-running, Aussie series. Having reviewed the previous two volumes released in the last year for this site, I don?t feel I need to wax lyrical about the personalities and complexity of these wonderful characters as I have previously done this in […]

Having just reviewed ?Irma La Douce? for this site, I can say that this film again features the versatile Lemmon in a lead role, is another in the 1960?s sex-comedy genre, and is the kind of film that is easily watchable for many reasons. I have to say that this style of film doesn?t grab […]
