Miss It not worth watching

Posted : 6 months, 1 week ago on 2 March 2008 06:51 (A review of Gavin & Stacey)

This is one of the worst programs that i have seen it was boring and unfunny. The cast look like they try so hard to even make it funny. I think its terrible how you pay for a TV license from a terrible show from the BBC it sucks. I find it just as bad as The Office. The show is to over hyped and most of the people who find it funny i am guessing they don't even know humor AVOID this and watch a real show Skins.

The best of Raw on 4 discs

Posted : 6 months, 1 week ago on 1 March 2008 04:10 (A review of WWE: The Best of RAW 15th Anniversary)

Raw 15th finally came to the UK thanks to Silver Vision the DVD was released on February 28th. Raw 15th Anniversary is a good DVD has some great footage of classic moments though some i feel were not needed on the DVD. The DVD features pop ups on segments and matches telling you information people on amazon found it annoying i never found a problem with this at all i liked them on there.

This has classic moments such as Stone Cold Steve Austin invading Brian Pillman's home, DX invading WCW, Stone Cold meets Mike Tyson, Mick Foley and Al Snow go to Las Vegas, Rock this is your life etc.

Then there is other moments which are not needed such as Cena been drafted to Raw, Goldust kissing Ahmed Johnson, Chris Jericho been fired.

The amount of content been cut from Raw the year of 2001 only shows 2 moments from that year. The year of 2000 only showing 1 moment. The disc of 2003 - 2008 really seems rushed and some classic Raw matches have not been added.

This match should of been added Rob Van Dan vs Eddie Guerrero in a ladder match it was not added Eddie Guerrero non of him appears on this DVD which he did have some good matches on Raw. Another great match that should of been added Rob Van Dam vs Christian in a ladder match which was fantastic but both matches are featured on Rob Van Dam's DVD anyway. Jeff Hardy vs Undertaker in a ladder match should of been featured as this in my mind was one of Raw's classics.

The DVD insert also shows you a moment with Triple H and Hornswoggle but this does not even appear on the DVD at all. If you ask me the Raw 15th show should of been released with this package.

Classic moments like Vince McMahon and Shane McMahon in the church was cut out of the DVD. Kane and Undertaker throwing the steel steps on Vince McMahon's leg which was funny is cut out which is a shame.

The DVD trys to add more value with giving you the Full show of the 1st ever Monday Night Raw which features interviews with wrestlers such as Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Edge, Jim Ross. I never found the show all that great the matches i found pretty boring but Bobby Heenan will make you laugh with some good segments trying to get into the arena.

If you still have the Best of Raw DVD vol 1 & 2 that has a whole lot more detail of 1997 - 1999 i recommend buying the DVD if you can find it because it is hard to get that DVD now.

So to wrap this up this DVD is entertaining and has some funny moments even though Todd Grisham more get on your nerves presenting this show. I don't know why not get Michael Coal or even Jonathan Coachman to present the DVD they are were better. The DVD show of went more in depth though most is down to lazy editing with cutting the F out of the WWF logo and due to some of Chris Benoit which is one of the reasons why more footage is out the DVD, one of which Triple H injuring his leg would of been on the disc i would of thought but down to Chris Benoit it never made it to the disc which p**ed me off because that match was good. The radicals team coming to WWE i would of loved to have seen again but thanks to Chris Benoit going crazy it's not even on these disc's

This DVD is worth buying for any serious WWE collector.

Hard Candy is a must see

Posted : 6 months, 2 weeks ago on 23 February 2008 02:13 (A review of Hard Candy)

Hard Candy was a great movie which leaves you saying was he the bad one or was she really bad. This movie also had it's great scenes even though most violent scenes appear off camera what you can see the pain in Jeff's face who is played by Patrick Wilson. The castration scene was a little bit sick but he give it a good job on that i have to say after cutting you know what yes his balls you see are doing horrible things with them. Ellen Page now she also had a good part in this movie she gets you to believe her most times. Sandra Oh only appears in the one scene i can't really say much about her.
This movie is worth watching i enjoyed it and stuff like this with meeting people off the Internet can really happen and thats one of the points the movie is trying to send out.

Movies like this make England great

Posted : 6 months, 2 weeks ago on 21 February 2008 06:33 (A review of Hot Fuzz)

Hot Fuzz i thought was a good comedy Nick Frost i thought was the funniest with a lot of good jokes which actually made me laugh. Simon Pegg also did a great job better then other movies.
My favorite scene is in Somerfield Supermarket because it was just a fun scene to watch and entertaining.
The movie also featured David Threlfall who plays Frank in Channel 4's drama Shameless who plays a small part as Martin Blower. A lot of people you may recognize in the movie. Worth watching. The 2 disc DVD is a must buy.

Movie which is unfunny

Posted : 6 months, 2 weeks ago on 20 February 2008 06:19 (A review of Keeping Mum)

Keeping Mum is just a movie which was not funny it stars an old granny killing people either cause her daughter is sick of them or for various reasons. Rowan Atkinson plays not a really good part the whole movie is funny and just unfunny.

Good for adults not for children

Posted : 6 months, 2 weeks ago on 20 February 2008 06:10 (A review of Happy Tree Friends)

Happy Tree Friends is a pretty good show just never let children watch it as the amount of cartoon violence that happens of the different ways these little animals die is funny from time to time.

Gothika [Region 2] review

Posted : 6 months, 3 weeks ago on 19 February 2008 02:07 (A review of Gothika [Region 2])

Gothika was pretty good the acting was alright Robert Downey Jr i found was a little boring. Penelope Cruz plays a really good part and Halle Berry not bad.
The movie has some good twists put into it with a good ending and some really good effects it is worth a look at.
