Extras: The Complete First Series


Extras tells the story of Andy Millman, an actor who never seems to be able to get past being an extra. On the plus side, he never forgets his lines because he never has any. He’s been an actor for five years but thanks to his totally useless agent (Stephen Merchant) he has never actually […]

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory


Straight form the wonderful imagination of Roald Dahl this timeless story has been delighting children (and Adults too) for over 30 years and this latest movie starring Johnny Depp is the best yet. Johnny Depp is brilliant as Willy Wonka the reclusive and troubled Confectioner who leads such a solitary existence that everyone is wondering […]

Layer Cake


Directed by Matthew Vaughn
I had steered clear of the British Ganster film and given films like ?Snatch? and ?Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels? a wide berth. After having the joy, or should I say agony of sitting through ?Layer Cake? it is fair to say that other films of that genre may never see […]

Jacket, The


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 […]

With the game stagnating because of poor run rates and a lack of entertainment the two teams embarked on an ambitious campaign to […]

Deuce Bigalow - European Gigolo


Directed by Mike Bigelow
Rob Schneider has made some stinkers in his time like ?The Hot Chick? and ?The Animal? but with ?Deuce Bigalow ? Male Gigolo? he was certainly on a winner and so I was very much looking forward to the sequel ?Deuce Bigalow -European Gigolo? as I was in need of […]

Grumpy Old Men ? At Christmas


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 […]

Grumpy Old Women ? At Christmas


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 […]
