Spaced - Definitive Collectors' Edition

starring: Jessica Stevenson, Simon Pegg, Julia Deakin
directed by: Edgar Wright

August 14, 2006
There were so many 5-star reviews so i decided to buy Spaced and this sitcom has let me down. What I didn't like at all is that the creators had just taken out numerous bits from popular movies and tried to spoof them.The whole sitcom is countless unfunny spoofing. For instance we all remember that scene from Pulp Fiction with the toaster where Bruce Willis kills Travolta.OK, you can watch it again in Spaced.Nobody kills anybody here.
The writers just pointlessly put it in. Was it supposed to be hilarious? Where are you own ideas?
On the other hand you can call it a wonderful,inventive breath of fresh air in the stale world of sitcom.
But i prefer The Royle family and The Office to bits from The Shining Pulp Fiction Star Wars ... Read More:

Spaced: Series 1 [1999]

starring: Jessica Stevenson, Simon Pegg, Julia Deakin
directed by: Edgar Wright

February 19, 2001
I bought this recently after hearing good feedback from friends and various web sites over the years and I have to say I think it is almost up there with The Office and Phoenix Nights (although there are not as many laugh out loud moments). I just love it! Great characters, interesting episodes and unobtrusive film references aplenty! 4 out of 5 !!!

To my shame I gave the first series of spaced 4 stars. It should have been five. This is a very enjoyable, witty sitcom. and I can now say with all confidence it matches The Office and Fawlty Towers (and Phoenix Nights)...YOU MUST WATCH THIS SERIES !!!!!!

Pure [2003] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

starring: Harry Eden, Vinnie Hunter, Molly Parker, David Wenham, Nitin Ganatra
directed by: Gillies MacKinnon

July 25, 2006
Pure is on of the most emotional, har-hitting films I have ever seen. With a stunnng performance from youngster Harry Eden, whon really brings to life the seriousness of Drug addiction and abuse. Harry plays the part of 10 year old Paul, who is trying desperatly to save his mother from destroying herself through Heroin. Pure really shows how a young boy can take on almost anything to save his mother. Outstanding!

Had never seen it on tv before so only came across it due to a friend buying it. After i'd watched a few episodes from series one i realised i had to buy the box set! it is so cleverly done and am sad there was only 2 series of it! It's definitely worth buying i literally cry with laughter when i watch the episodes.

Hot Fuzz [HD DVD] [2007] [US Import]

starring: Jim Broadbent, Kenneth Cranham, Timothy Dalton, Julia Deakin, Patricia Franklin

July 31, 2007
I have not read all the reviews on this but get the impression from a quick flick through that the majority of people have very impressive taste. What is not to enjoy about this? From Sgt Angel coming to the rescue on his white charger to Timothy Dalton impaled in a very un-Bond like manner this film may well require an investment in incontinence pads. It's slick, fast paced, funny, clever and should be on everyone's DVD shelf for those gloomy winter nights when you need cheering up. You'll never look at people in your village the same way.

Liam [2001]

starring: Ian Hart, Claire Hackett, Anthony Borrows, David Hart (IV), Megan Burns
directed by: Stephen Frears

December 26, 2001
This is an atmospheric and realistic film set in depression era Liverpool, following the woes of a working class family who face unemployment, means-testing and regular trips to the pawn shop. However the main theme is more heart-warming with it's focus on Liam, the youngest boy of the family, as he prepares for First Holy Communion and his first awakenings to the female body. The climax of the film involves a tragedy caused by Liam's father's involvement with the Fascist Blackshirts. Jimmy McGovern's direction ( of Cracker TV fame ) is perhaps a little heavy handed in it's use of stereotypes ( scary dogmatic Catholic priests and harsh employers ) but it is nevertheless a well made and sometimes touching recreation of a troubled time in British history.
