Shakespeare's greatest story,love's greatest story turned into a film what could go wrong?
18 September 2008
Everything to be honest.

I'm yet to see a worse film adaption off a Shakespeare story in my life,i was frankly appalled after wacthing this utter mess off a film,and to have the title off this film as 'William Shakespeare romeo + Juliet'is disgrace as this isn't remotely close to the legendary William Shakespeare's amazing love story.The use of the laungues used in this film just doesn't suite or make any sense in the new punk version off the story.

I urge you please avoid this as if your life depended on it and stick with the classic and legendary William Shakespeare's book utterly disgraceful which would make William Shakespeare turn in his grave.

1/10....and that one is only for the quite good acting from Leonardo.

Jack Dee Live Again (2005 Video)
10/10
Jack is back
29 June 2008
How this stand up only has a rating off 6.9 is beyond me.

After a disappointing 2002 stand up,jack dee really is on top form.On stage jack is never less than triumphant,there are few comedians who can sustain this rage,but he keeps the bile rolling and turns grumpiness into an form of art.You name it jack blames it.Fortunately his sustained ranting is jaw-achingly funny.Jack will make you laugh like your life depended on it.

This really is a brilliant return to form for the grumpiest comic around,any comic fan should buy this,and so what if he uses the c word once he does in all his stand-ups.

Jack dee lovers buy this stand up now,its not as good as the 1997 tour but its pretty close indeed

One of the greatest performances of all time!
7 April 2008
This film is now one of my all time favourites,never before has a film left such a big lump in my throat because of the brilliant and beautiful script,brilliant directing and the sensational and breathtaking acting by Pacino.This for me is pancino's greatest performance ever and one of the best performances off all time beaten only by Robert DE Nero's performance in the deer hunter.Off courses lets not forget the great performance by Chris O'Donnell as school boy Charles which unfortunately will not be remembered simply because pacino's role is so breathtaking and worthy off his Oscar he won,which is proved by his great speech at the end which is 6/7 minutes long and he didn't blink once like blind people and that is a sign off class.

So all in all brilliant & moving film and acting by all.

Grade A 10/10

Ricky Gervais Live 3: Fame (2007 TV Special)
10/10
Rude,offensive and damn right hilarious
26 December 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Animals was fantastic,politics was brilliant, but fame beats them my a mile,i love and adore Ricky gervais and everything he does but admit he is on of the biggest headed man on TV,so when i heard at this was called fame i thought it would be him talking about how famous and great he was.But i wasn't it was a funny look at fame and being famous not just all about him,and most of it wasn't really about being famous,but the bits what was where so funny.

But for me the highlight of this show was his little pops at dawn french had me crying and spiting but drinking out with laughter.

other parts off the show was Ricky talking about Charity gigs at the start off the show,and at the end telling a story about Sharon Osbourne on the x factor which i was in tears over.

love him or hate him you MUST see this so really only one word sums this up......genius

Jack Dee: Live in London (1997 TV Special)
9/10
A fine bit of stand up
19 November 2007
This is a great show by one of the UK's funniest comedians,Jack Dee.He doesn't really tell jokes which some may think isn't very good for a comedian but instead he makes fun out of real life things i.e the Olympics,the England Cricket team and out of his life experience's.This is a my favourite stand up show because it make me laugh constantly,simply there is abit to laugh at every few seconds,jack is one of Britain's best stand ups going,so all in all I'm very pleased to have seen and own this stand up.

i would recommend this to anyone who wants a good laugh.

9/10 brilliant

10/10
Quite simply the best soap episode ever
13 September 2007
Warning: Spoilers
i remember wacthing this episode when 1st broad-casted,and i remember then think what a masterpiece this episode in a time where eastenders was on a low this put it back on top..it all was based around Nana moon have a few weeks left to live and she wanted to go back to see her husbands grave who died in the war,so Alfie takes her and then we get the flash backs of the war and Nana moon and her husband how they meet at a dance in the 40's..and the whole episode unfolds from there,you find out every think about them growing and Nana having a baby Alfie's dad but then she gets a letter to say that he had died in battle,which was sad but then we go back to present time and Nana and Alfie are at the grave site,and Nana says how says that she will see him soon,but panics in case he doesn't recenise her in heaven and the whole thing was just great.

everyone in voled in this should be proud and I'm glad it got awards like it should have!!

Only Fools and Horses (1981–2003)
10/10
Prue class!!
5 September 2007
you've got the best British actor as the lead role in sir David Jason..another brilliant British actor in Nicolas mix that with the best support cast ever in a TV show...then take the world class writing of john Sullivan..and what do you have?? the greatest sitcom ever made!!although the 1st 6 i wasn't to keen on but it just got better and better,and in my opinion time in our hands is just the best sitcom episode made and i do think the last 3 was a mistake although i thought that there was funny especially the last ever one sleepless in peck-ham and it was a lovely ending...but for me the episode that really did show of john Sullivan as a brilliant writer and David and Nicholas as true great actors was granddads funeral just everything about it was brilliant and for me thats when the show went into a league of its own to other sitcoms and which made it Prue class!!

21 August 2007

poor mans o'Gardy
13 August 2007
Warning: Spoilers
as soon as i heard of this show i knew it would be a rip of Paul o'Gardy and i watched it and i was right,almost the same format and very camp like the Paul o'Gardy show.I say that this show will end up like the Sharon Osbourne show panned by critics and axed after the 1st season,i do like cotton but he isn't up to being a host of a TV chat show and i think this will ruining his reputation,but lets hope not...but the show is him talking to 'nobodies' IMO and running around the crowd talking to the crowd,and the letter readings at the begin....now where have i seen that before??

i give this show 3 out of 10 and that is being nice

Vincent (2005–2006)
9/10
the Brits get it so RIGHT!!!!
9 March 2007
Vincent is a typical ray Winston TV show and as always ray makes a fantastic role and makes the whole show.Vincent also does have a great supporting cast,all 8 Vincents have been brilliant witty and TV gold.Vincent is also ray's best role since the part he took in scum,ray is a fantastic British actor who is just made for this role of Vincent simply because he is a great witty actor who makes his role witty in almost every episode of Vincent and is very much worthy of his award

Vincent is well worth its award, Vincent is just TV gold and British tele at its very best

one of the best crime shows for years

Ricky Gervais Live: Animals (2003 TV Special)
10/10
The funniest man and the funniest stand ever!!!!
6 February 2007
Ricky Gervais is the greatest stand up ever to come out of england,he is under-rated because people just don't get his humour. Animals is the best stand up DVD i have ever seen the wit the quickness of gervais and the whole hour is world class. gervais's genius is what makes this whole stand up work for me if peter Kay did it it wouldn't work out all,and because of this for me this makes Ricky gervais the greatest and funniest man alive. the bible part of the stand up was the greatest bit of stand up i have ever seen and i strongly recommend this DVD to any Ricky gervais fan

so The funniest man and the funniest stand ever!!!!

Goodfellas (1990)
10/10
By far the greatest film ever made!!!!
17 January 2007
a true classic film and one of the best acted films ever,Robert DE'Nero's acting was professional and just brilliant,Ray Liotta played a brilliant part as henry hill.BUT for me the one that stole the show really for me was Joe Pesci super acting by him as tommy and well dersevered Oscar for is role in the film.

the film is based on 30 years of the life Henry Hill,how he became a mobster and how to save his own life ratted on his own friends and went into police protection.

The film has one of the best lines ever in-it which is the very first line in the film "AS FAR BACK AS I CAN REMEMBER I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A GANGEST" as soon as you hear that you know just what type of film your wacthing.

Also having ray's voice over most of the film telling the story was brilliant.

so all in all the best film ever made

Taken (2002)
10/10
Best show ever to be on tele!!!
15 January 2007
Taken is a class piece of tele I've ever seen from the effects to the acting it is all world class.Taken takes you thought 4 decades of 3 families and show you they experience with aliens.

The writing of the show was some of the best i have ever seen.The acting from this show isn't the best I've ever seen but it is one of the best, the acting gets better and better each episode The effects are the best I've ever seen from the aliens to the spaceships and yet again Spielberg shows his class again.

All in all i would recommend anybody to watch this master piece even if your not in to all this sci-fi stuff this would get you into it as it did be. so to sum it up in 7 words BEST SHOW EVER TO BE ON TELE
