Louis C.K. Chewed Up DVD review

the funniest comedian in America? Gervais is a huge supporter of C.K. and has hails him as being the funniest comedian in America. Ad content continues below With the praise C.K. has received and a number of sold out dates, I had high hopes going into watching this DVD.

Mystery DVD Club No 24: One Man And His Dog

We Live in Public review

But this wasnt any kind of web connection. But his projects after leaving the day-to-day business of Pseudo are more enthralling. However, the film cannot effectively reconcile itself into a satisfying whole. Rating: 3 out of 5

Revisiting Tim Burton’s Charlie And The Chocolate Factory

Due to this vehement clause, the development of the final film languished until 2004. Creating the world of Wonka became a larger project than anybody could have imagined. A further gripe I had was with the children.

Russell Brand: Scandalous – Live At The O2 DVD review

He may get knocked down, but he gets up again….and again. The irrepressible Russell Brand is back with a new DVD to set the record straight. Hes nothing if not resourceful. His underdog status is part of his appeal, as hes well aware. Hes unapologetically preaching to the converted. He laps it up, naturally. Brands narcissism knows no bounds. He can effortlessly shift from discussing Internet porn to Lewis Carroll within seconds....

Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs Blu-ray review

The most important movie that Disney ever created comes to Blu-ray. Has it been worth the 72 year wait? What it delivered was a tight piece of storytelling, gorgeously animated and beautifully stylised. It was bright, colourful and dynamic, in a way that movies had never been before. Over the 72 years sinceSnow Whitewas made a number of people have spent their time over-analysing this movie. No really, I sat through that garbage....

Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory Blu-ray review

The original take on the Roald Dahl story Charlie and the Chocolate Factory arrives on Blu-ray… Theyre not even close, truth be told. And there are several reasons why. Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newleys catchy, brilliant songs are a good place to start. This is as uneasy a central performance in a so-called childrens movie as we can remember. Are we supposed to like him? To be scared by him?...

The Green Mile Blu-ray review

Frank Darabont followed up The Shawshank Redemption by tackling another Stephen King tale, The Green Mile. And it’s now on Blu-ray… It throws in major events at regular intervals, and pushes emotional buttons as it does so. But it does enjoy successes of its own. Then theres Tom Hanks, being very Tom Hanks-like, and a very strong supporting cast around him. Its the kind of standard you wish all extra feature-makers would aspire to....

2012 review

Three years from now, untold disaster will strike. No, its not the London Olympics. The intention is to create the disaster movie to end all disaster movies. To paraphraseSpinal Tap, this really is amps-up-to-eleven filmmaking. Someones going to have to get pretty inventive to top the sheer volume of carnage on display here. Harrelson, in particular, is a real scene-stealer, going through his wide-eyed manic routine with relish. Step forward Danny Glover, with Thandie Newton as his daughter....

Harry Brown review

Harry Brown is an old aged pensioner living on an East London estate with a particular problem. Its a visceral sequence, impeccably created, but it is only the start. As a wildly stylised thriller that obsesses over its protagonist, it is expected to find one-dimensional supporting characters. It effectively sidelines its thought-provoking, discussion-stimulating aspects, in favour of a crowd-pleasing ending. Rating: 4 out of 5
