I've haven't taken to a show like this since My Name Is Earl began, The IT Crowd has to be the funniest programme about at the moment.
I agree the laughter can be annoying, but that worked for the Bottom series and Young Ones and as its live (Not canned) it doesn't ruin the show like two pints of larger.
I admit I only bought it for Richard Ayoade as I find him hilarious, but he, Katherine Parkinson and Chris O'Dowd work so well together to make this hilarious, i'm ashamed to admit I've only just got into it.
It wrote by the creators of Father Ted so you know you can expect some very funny comedy.
I can't recommened this enough, I have watched each episode around 3 times and i've only owned this a month.
Don't usually bother writing reviews - more than happy just to read them usually.
However... First episode of the second series was one of the funniest 30 minutes of my life - where two computer nerds somehow find themselves at the theatre watching the gayest of gay musicals only for one to end up being mistaken for a disabled guy and the other to find himself working as a bartender. Has to be seen to be believed. The rest of the series was good but oh my god... that first one - genius.

Incredibly inventive movie which takes you into a whole other world and captivates you with the haunting guitar strings, Scottish Brogues and wistful but dark intensions.
Following up a report of the disappearance of a young girl called Rowan Morrison, the religious innocent and level-headed Sergeant Howie goes to a small remote Island in Scotland known as Summerisle. When he arrives, his presence is made to feel most unwelcome by the locals and their hospitality is somewhat questionable.
As he further investigates the island, he becomes more and more aware that something is not quite right; the villagers stories of having never heard of the missing girl despite evidence proving otherwise seem to contradict each other, and Howie ... Read More:

The IT Crowd is a fresh take on sitcom. Most of it takes place in the basement of a large company where the IT department resides, consisting of the two uber nerds Moss and Roy and their boss Jen. I find the humor to be very broad and have something for everyone. There's Moss' and Roy's awkwardness with other people and women in particular, there' Jen having "a visit from Aunt Irma", lots of jokes on working in an office at a large company. And the list goes on. It seems that a lot of people can appreciate this show. But computer nerds should appreciate it in particular because it contains lots of small references and nods to rather nerdy computer stuff.
Ok, that's enough about the actual show. If you, like me, grew up with computer games in the 80's and early 90's ... Read More:

This most be one of the most boring films I have ever seen, the only reason I watched it was because I was that bored and there was nout on tv at all. The acting is very pathetic, even though its a kids film it is very pathetic. Its also over exaggerate with the stunts such as the water falling down the stairs and the self opening doors with voice activities. Technology hasn't gone as far as that yet. You can see the steadicam mans reflection in two shots, the shot in the kitchen where kevin goes to the frigde and opens it and then when kevin locks the butler in the freezer, you can see a dark reflection of the cameraman walking closer to the freezer, very unprofessional. And he is not home alone, theres 2 people living there even though one of them is actually the leader of the ... Read More:

Sci-fi actioner directed by John Woo in which square-jawed Ben Affleck pays Michael Jennings, a gifted computer engineer who takes on secretive computer projects for corporations for large sums of cash with one catch: the corporations insist that after completing each assignment he must have his short-term memory wiped so that he remembers nothing of the work that he has done. Each assignment thus far has been short-term, lasting no more than eight weeks, so each time Jennings has had his memory wiped after completing an assignment he has lost no more than eight weeks of his life. But this time he has been offered an assignment by a company called Allcom for which he will be paid $92 million on its completion, enough to set him up for life. The problem? It is a long-term assignment, ... Read More:
