Series 3 is sort of uneven - three standout episodes that are strong enough to overwhelm the lazy, self indulgent strand running through all six. The main problem for me was that they brought to the fore those wonderful details that added unique texture in series 1 & 2. For example, crimping. Before crimping had a name, it was something that cropped up every now and then in a natural, brilliant sort of way. In series three there's an entire episode dedicated to crimping. Knowing it's something that can be taught, can be practiced and even copied just sorta cheapened it. The same goes for the Council of Shamen, and particularly Tony Harrison who's been transformed into a hard living drug fiend.

The other big problem is that ... Read More:

This film appeals on so many levels - it's a farce, a sophisticated comedy, a gangster movie, a musical - some classic lines and probably a good contender for the best last line ever. Please watch this, it's that good.

In 'Gilda' and 'Affair in Trinidad', Rita Hayworth performs dance routines which are not the kind of routines found in movie musicals. The routines in 'Gilda' and 'Trinidad' give the impression that Hayworth is a musical and rhythmical person who is responding naturally to the music but is not a dancer. These routines work very well as Rita is a great mover but if anyone is in any doubt about her talent as a dancer then watch 'You Were Never Lovelier' - she is a sheer delight to watch. She is a fabulous dancer and a wonderful partner for Fred Astaire. 'The Shorty George', a tap routine, is my favourite next to Astaire's wonderful solo number.

This film has a silly, nonsensical storyline but this is part of its charm. The characters ... Read More:

DVD : Charlie Bartlett [2008] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
Plot:

America takes on their version of `About a Boy', only he's older and wants to become a popular kid by selling drugs and counselling, working his way through the headmaster (Downey Jr.), his daughter and as the schools illegal pharmacist.

My Review

After being kicked out of a private school, Charlie Bartlett (Anton Yelchin) is sent to a public school hoping he can fit in more than the likes of the Vaudevillian school boys of higher class status. Bear in mind this is no way to be considered in the same terms and likes of say `Superbad', `Knocked Up' or clever gem `Juno'.
Charlie Bartlett is the type of character that is depicted that being rich and likable don't really work, even the rich and well-brought up crave ... Read More:
