MGS: Philanthropy (2009)
For the most part really enjoyable...
Being a big fan of the Metal Gear series of games I have always been watching out for any signs of movies, or fan productions based around the series. Watching Philanthropy brought back all the good memories of MGS: Snake was portrayed really well, and the voice acting was good as well - everything down to his movements were perfect.
I was slightly put off when I saw Pierre with the DS, but I suppose it plays to the humorous side of Metal Gear Solid and the quirks. I have to say though I wasn't impressed by the lead female, she seemed to bring the whole thing down - she just felt emotionless and dead, and the voice acting didn't match up to the standard of others.
Most of the CGI was very good for a budget production, but again some bits did show a few rough edges - but I don't mean any disrespect, what they have achieved here is excellent and especially as a fan production with a zero budget. I am really looking forward to the next instalments.
Little Britain USA (2008)
WARNING!! Go to the bathroom BEFORE you watch this show..to avoid having to watch the show!
Let me just say, I am a big fan of the Little Britain series, and up until now it has been very entertaining. But flicking over hopefully to watch little Britain USA, all I saw was rubbish. Any previous comedic value has been removed, and what was left was purely humour using the shock factor - trying to be offensive in a desperate attempt to break in to a new market. Why David? Why Matt? You could have done so much better if you had stuck to the winning formula - the jokes went too far, Carol talked far too much and I was extremely underwhelmed by the whole thing. I'm sorry, I could only face watching one episode before giving up on little Britain altogether. Little Britain - keep it British!
