Sex and the City: The Movie [2008]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Comedy
starring: Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, Kim Catrall, Cynthia Nixon, Chris Noth
directed by: Michael Patrick King

I have never watched a single episode of Sex And The City on tv, the whole concept and format of the show just didn't appeal to me, so when my mother in law asked me to go to the cinema to see the film, I was somewhat reluctant to go. However I went and was absolutely glued to the screen from start to finish!! The film was excellent and I felt that you didn't have to know anything from the tv series to watch it. Definetely a girls night in film with a bottle of wine and some tissues!

Sex and the City: The Movie - 2 Disc Edition [2008]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Comedy
starring: Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon, Chris Noth
directed by: Michael Patrick King

I pre-ordered the 2 disc special edition from Amazon and as promised it was delievered slap bang on my doorstep on its official release date. Well done Amazon. Anyhow saw the film at the pics, fantastic. Decided to buy this edition and boy what a waste of money. Stick to the normal edition. I thought there would be loads of interviews with the cast but there was just one with SJP and the writer Michael King. A look at the wardrobe dept. and a commentary on deleted scenes. Nothing too much to interest you there. If you are a big fan though you would probably invest in this edition but otherwise save your cash, buy the 1 disc DVD and purchase the soundtrack of the album (which is awesome) with the money you have saved.

P.S. I Love You [2008]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Comedy
starring: Hilary Swank, Gerard Butler, Lisa Kudrow, Gina Gershon, Jeffery Dean Morgan
directed by: Richard LaGravenese

I watched this with my girlfriend and she (like a lot of women I hear) was in floods of tears.

Call me a "typical bloke" if you will, but I was not emotionally drawn into it. I didn't see any chemistry between Swank and Butlers characters so never really bought their relationship. I thought Swanks character had better chemistry with that of Connick Jrs.

Anyhow, it's an ok film with some funny moments - had the casting been a bit better I too may have had a tear in my eye

Sex And The City: Seasons 1 - 6 Complete Box Set

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Comedy
starring: Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristen Davis, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon, David Eigenberg
directed by: Timothy Van Patten

I'm pretty certain if you're looking to buy this, you're not a new-comer to the series, so I won't break it down for you - so many reviews on each season for pick from, I won't bore you. Course if you are a new-comer... sorry. Simply reason for this review, is to tell you exactly what you're getting from this instead of the individual boxsets. Firstly, space-saver. Sounds stupid, maybe, but for those that are racing up 100s or 1000s of DVDs, it's a valid point, (yeah, that would be me, of course) and it is a growing problem. Secondly, you get extras that weren't on the originals, though flipside, if you have the first edition of Season One, (the 'format problem' one in the red case), you miss out on the extras on this, if you're swapping/up-grading).

Hancock [2008]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Comedy
starring: Will Smith, Charlize Theron, Jason Bateman
directed by: Peter Berg

December 01, 2008
One star and five star reviews for this film should be laughed at, as you will many great moments in the first half of this film.

At some point the laughs had to run out, there is only so much script in an alcoholic super hero.

When that happens and the plot twist occurs, which many will see coming, you've just got to enjoy looking at the tunning Charlize Theron and patiently await the end of the film.

Thought I'd have a quick peep when it dropped on my doormat, ended up watching all six episodes in the same day! Can't wait to watch the second series.

A great series that thankfully doesn't fall into the obvious sit com scenarios that you think it's going to.

Entourage: complete HBO Season 4 [2007]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Comedy
starring: Jeremy Piven, Adrian Grenier, Kevin Dillon

Good news Vinnie Chase and his boys E, Drama, Turtle and Ari are back. One of the best shows on TV sadly not well known in the UK. Season 4 starts off with Vinn making his long awaited Medellin with E producing and Walsh directing. Hoping this movie will cement Vincents super stardom and finally put some money back in his account! Thankfully everything you love about entourage is back - great cameos including Anna Faris, Stephen Gagan, Snoop-Dog, Dennis Hooper and Kanye West to name but a few. Thankfully fan favourites Ari and Drama are as funny as ever with Billy Walsh given a bigger part and the music is fantastic as ever. If you like the previous seasons you will like this and If you have never seen entourage go get season 1. Sadly the only drawbacks are the fact ... Read More:
