Am I really the only member of the general public who can see Rob Brydon for what he really is? (i.e. the poor man's Steve Coogan - just as Keith Barrett is the poor man's Alan Partridge). I mean, come on, the man can’t even have his ideas - he has to copy!

I mean sure, during a 30 minute episode of any show featuring Brydon I'll manage to force out a laugh or two (if I'm very lucky & feeling generous! - hence the second star), but basically he just isn’t funny.

It’s a real shame that Steve Coogan is doing very little television these days, especially when he’s being replaced with non-entities like Rob Brydon. These are really sad, sorry days for British television when this ... Read More:

This movie is not a bad movie. It has good performances, especially from Jack Nicholson, and a good story line. But this is one of the most over-rated movies I have ever seen.
The direction is similar to that of a TV movie, very basic and plain, and is what one would expect of any run-of-the-mill director for a major film.
The main problem I have with the movie though is that it does nothing for me- it's not particularly interesting, funny, thoughtful, or novel. The majorty of the film is a series of snapshots of a mother-daughter relationship through time, not at any point doing more than documenting "where they're at", whilst the final third of the film is a melodramatic twist that contiues in the same vein as the first part of the film, rather ...

DVD : The Possession of Joel Delaney [1972] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
I'm not going to spoil this for anyone with a synopsis of the plot, but if like myself you enjoy the fear and tension of such movies as Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, then give this your attention. This DVD is great value and the picture and sound quality are massive improvements over the old open-matte VHS tape.
I really enjoy the performances in this especially Shirley Mclaine as the increasingly concerned sister of title character Joel.
1970's New York looks as vibrant as it does in many other films of this era, but we are treated to some kinetic NY street scenes.
I feel emotionally engaged with this movie and the way in which the feeling of dread builds to an unforgettably creepy climax of desolation.

Used Price: £2.50

You have to go way back for this early John Wayne film; Hurricane Express was actually a serial in 12 parts released in 1932. There aren’t any cowboys or horses around for this adventure, but there’s plenty of action. A baby-faced John Wayne plays an airplane pilot whose father, a train engineer, is killed when some fiend who calls himself “the Wrecker” causes the Hurricane Express to crash. Larry Baker (Wayne) swears that he will catch the man who killed father, but the Wrecker has a way of escaping time and again – this is due largely to the fact that he has a set of incredibly lifelike masks that allow him to pose as any number of characters, including Larry Baker. Baker’s lady friend’s father was “railroaded” (ahem) and sent ... Read More:
