Malcolm McClaren says that Catherine Johnson - wot wrote this show - was a punk. At first I thought ' no way', but look how she's polarised the public. It's either 5 stars or 1 star in the amazon reviews. Look how the poor 1 star reviewers are vilified by the majority 5 starers. Scorned and despised for being different - just like punk! Well, I watched this as far as the bit where some biddies are singing Chiquitita to Meryl, who has locked herself in the toilet (I think) then I couldn't take anymore so I went off to pogo round my bedroom for a bit to get it out of my head.
A lot of people like this film (a lot), but then a lot of people liked Max Bygraves and Genesis too. My theory is that any film that is set on a Greek Island goes ... Read More:

This is without doubt one of the most detailed and intriguing films of recent years, like many film franchises they get tired and boring! However with Batman Begins and the Dark Knight they have been reinvented and far out do any of the Tim Burton films though i really like those offerings also. Batman Forever and Batman and Robin are terrible.
Christian Bale is an excellent Batman and is suitably supported by the rest of the cast including Heath Ledger whilst excellent is under used and the pacing of the film is off here and there but with so much dross being made it is very difficult to criticise a film which is as magical and engaging as this.
Not going to go into real details into the storyline as it has all been done before but ... Read More:

What makes CS Lewis's Narnia "septet" so timeless is that the books work on 2 levels - straightforward 'fantasy' for children and a 'deeper' symbolic allegory of Christian faith.
This turned out fortunately for film-makers like Disney wanting to jump on the Tolkien/Rowling fantasy bandwagon. Children in the 1940s and 1950s didn't need more explicit biblical references putting in the books because British Christians then grew up like Muslims today - their faith was not an optional add on but an integral, 'living' aspect of their existence. They were familiar with what Lewis's allegories were without needing them spelled out. Today, in Britain's almost totally secular society, the fact that Lewis didn't lay the Christian theme on with a trowel means that modern ... Read More:

Michael McIntyre is one of Britain's best comedians and will definitely stand 'the test of time'. This DVD is a testament to his comedy genius. If you want to ache with laughter - buy the DVD.

After I Am Legend (disappointing), I was hoping for a good Will Smith film. Unfortunately, I didn't get my wish. I like superhero movies, generally, but Hancock is mediocre.
John Hancock is a depressed alcoholic superhero. He's still doing his job, but in the process of saving lives he's also costing Los Angeles millions of dollars in repairs. For this reason, the public do not like him and are getting to the stage where they wish he'd leave and go 'save' another city. Things change, though, when Hancock saves the life of super-duper PR guy Ray Embrey. Realising that Hancock is a good guy underneath it all, he decides to help him by changing his image and have the public love him once more.
one word boring! I really enjoyed the series sex and the city, but honestly this was so boring, the film took so long to get to the main parts. There was a few laughs and some tears, but thats about it, don't waste your money! watch the series on tele for free!

This isn't a review of the film - which is OK, its a criticism of the DVD release. How come the US gets a 2 disc set with loads of behind the scene documentaries, and all we get is a commentary and a few deleted scenes? I have no doubt this will get a Special Edition release next year, so if you have to own it wait for that. Universal studios are always short changing customers in the UK, so send them a message and tell 'em where they can stick it!
