1.Lion King 3: Hakuna Matata [2004] starring: Nathan Lane, Ernie Sabella, Julie Kavner, Jerry Stiller, Matthew Broderick directed by: Bradley Raymond February 16, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.25
Before I say anything else, I'll say that I enjoyed this 'midquel.' In fact, I think that The Lion King 1 and 1/2 (or 3) should have gone theatrical. It's sweet, funny and the animation is downright gorgeous. Timon and Pumbaa are two of my favourite characters and I can never get enough of them. But something's missing. It's that nostalgic feel I get when I watch the first two, especially Simba's Pride. It's simply not there. And it's because this was not part of my childhood like the first films were. I have no fond memories of it, since when it came out, I thought I was too old for 'a baby movie like The Lion King,' and so I didn't care for it. It's only when I realised that The Lion King was more than just a mere 'kids movie' ... Read More:

2.Hairspray [1987] starring: Divine, Michael St. Gerard, Ricki Lake, Deborah Harry, Pia Zadora directed by: John Waters March 11, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.94
I was expecting really good things of this movie based on its reputation. No doubt the stage show works really well; the potential is clearly there. For me, John Waters messes this up by taking a gross and crude approach of self-parody and ridicule which for me served both to make it less funny and to reduce the impact of the racisim / sizism / corruption message. Subtly camp would have been much sharper, I feel. The pace falls flat, much of it is dull even with the spectacle of Divine the good dancing etc. I suspect I should have watched the 2007 version, which since it is not by John Waters probably does it better, but this has put me off - at least for quite a while.

4.The Ritz [1976] starring: Jack Weston, Rita Moreno, Jerry Stiller, Kaye Ballard, F. Murray Abraham directed by: Richard Lester February 22, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £42.99
Other reviewers have already covered most I would wnat to say but quite simply this film is a laugh from start to finish. Subtle humour mixed with slapstick and farce; over acting from Googie the diva with no voice but always looking for her Mr Big "movie producer" (watch out for a final llaugh on that topic!) A host of fine actors keep the action going from start to finish with innuendo and silent comedy thrown in for good measure. I agree....it should be out on DVD by now !!

7.Zoolander [2001] starring: Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Will Ferrell, Christine Taylor, Jerry Stiller directed by: Ben Stiller October 07, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.26
This film is truly amazing. It may only appeal to people with a certain sense of humour, but I must be one of those people as I almost split my sides laughing. I was still randomly saying quotes from Zoolander about a month after I'd seen it! As usual, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson make a brilliant partnership; they have a similar sense of humour so you can see that they are really enjoying making the film. This may not be the classic, thoughtful and deep film that some people want to see but in my eyes it is the best film I have ever seen, and would be perfect for a fun night in or sleepover.

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.50
This astounding novella pounces on your attention from the first lines. It used a language of alienated introspection, with a self deluded failure of a man, bitter about everything and harbouring a particular grudge against his father. As Tommy Wilheim's story unfolds, we begin to see the parts of him that put him in this position. He is a proud dreamer of a man, too fond of good intentions to get much done. The book follows his defeats and defiances, seeing him fall helpless from one mess to another. Its ending is a poignant comment on the man's state of mind, and had a lasting effect on me when I first read it. 12 years later I read it again, and even though I knew what was coming I felt the same thing. An astounding book, ... Read More:
