First of all, I really can't compete with the first review on here, as it's fantastic, but I really want to praise Betty as well!
Although season 2 doesn't have such a strong storyline as season 1, hey, it's still Betty! It's still as funny as ever, Marc and Amanda are still brilliant, whether they're together or off scheming by themselves. There are also some very good and unexpected twists in the story, so stay on your toes or you'll get confused! Although the season finale (what I mean by that is the last few episodes) is a bit disappointing, it's almost virtually impossible to go wrong with a bit of Betty.
Overall, it's a great TV show that has given so many people all over the world the confidence to believe in ... Read More:

For me, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie were, are and always shall be, the quintessential Jeeves and Wooster! As English as Pimms and Cucumber sandwiches, this glorious P.G. Wodehouse creation lifts the veil on the altogether more carefree life in 1920's high society, ironically observed through the wit of one of our great writers. And who better to bring it to the screen than two of our greatest comic talents.
Sadly, P.G. Wodehouse has suffered of late from the tight mouthed disapproval of Political Correctness. I wish that some people could just get over their left wing angst about "toffs" though, and see this for what it is - a wry and witty gallop through an entirely different era. This is comic farce, and it pokes fun at absolutely ... Read More:

I seriously doubt that I have to take the time to explain what Family Guy is, as the chances are that you - like so many others are a fan, or at the very least have seen some episodes.
In my opinion this second season of Family Guy considerably improves on the first, which is not something that's easy to do as season one was nothing less than fantastic. But Family Guy season two is packed to bursting point with hilarious and sometimes outrageous jokes. Seth MacFarlane never fails to deliver pure comical entertainment. It's good to be given a daring show that not afraid of offending people (on that note if your easily offended then you probably should avoid Family Guy.) I would have to say the best episode in the season is "Let's go to the ... Read More:

I bought this because it would save me space. It's the size of a normal DVD box, feels great and looks slick.
The DVD's in themselve are great as everyone knows. A fourth? It might be in the pipeline but wasn't written by the guy who wrote the original books.
The story as it goes in brief if you haven't already discovered. Bourne is an agent for the US government. Sent to do a job which goes array. He losses his memory and from the beginning of the first film, Bourne tries to recall who he is and tries to work out his memories.
The plot starts in the Med. and takes us on a rollercoaster of a ride. Visiting all the big hitters in Europe. France, Germany, England to the USA for a grand finale.
Father Ted is one of these things you can watch over and over again, and laugh each time. Whether your waiting at the airport, or just at home with a cup of coffee, it never fails to make you smile.
Along with all 25 episodes, there are commentries from Graham Linehan (writer), Arthur Mathews (other writer) and Ardal O'Hanlon (Dougal). As well as that there is "Ted and Dougal Do Comic Relief", "Ted Fest 2007: A Very Ted Weekend and Two Tribes Go to War" "Interview with the Writers (Part 1 & 2)", "Dougal's Soundtrack" and "Comedy Connections" to name but a few.
As for the actual comedy, you can't get much better. The swearing isn't vulgar and the gags are never cheap. Professional actors aren't missed, as Dermot Morgan and Ardal O'Hanlon's humour ... Read More:

I can't help feeling a bit ripped off having bought all of the DVDs in this set at more than twice the asking price when they first came out, but if you have a small child and don't already own them, this is a bargain.
If you do have a young relative chances are you already know about In the night garden. Iggle Piggle and his colourful but slightly odd friends appear in a series of twenty minute shows where they have minor adventures that often involve noises, counting , chasing things around and in Maka Paka's case tidying up. It's a brilliant way to teach young children some basic concepts about shapes, numbers etc especially if you buy a few of the books which follow the same storylines. The length of the show is exactly right for a toddler's attention span and they really do ... Read More:

I watched this film as a child, then as an adult, and it always amazes me. Another truly heart warming Christmas film! Richard Attenborough portrays a wonderful Santa Claus, with his remarkable acting skills! It does not matter what age you are with this movie, old or young, it will warm your heart at Christmas time, with a few laughs along the way.

I remember watching this as a kid and recently saw parts of it again on the History channel and have found it incredibly moving - just the theme music with a series of shocking pictures culminating in the gaunt face of a young girl at the end, is truly chilling. The series examines every aspect and angle of the war in great detail. It does not shy away from some shocking footage and yet never feels like it is revelling in it. It is a serious historical work and yet it never drags. Watching it again I was struck by how many of those interviewed are long dead now, and how lucky I have been to never experience anything like the suffering they endured, and how future generations should never forget the price of their freedom.

I cannot recomend this film enough! It's funny, its romanitc and an all round great film. The sound track has something that makes you want to play it all over again. Jude Law, Jack Black and Kate Winslet all gave brilliant performances, Cameron's however, lacked the certain pizaz that she ususally has. But over all, one cracking Christmas film!
