Film and TV review.

I like Family Guy but that TED looks awful IMO.

Will still check it out though!

It's actually not that bad, story is basically You,Me and Dupree with a teddy bear instead of Owen Wilson. Has some really funny bits especially with the actor who played Flash Gordon.

Good to hear, i do like Seth Macfarlane so i'll have a gander.

It's from the creators of Family Guy. Don't think it is out in England yet.

That actually reminds of a couple of other shows....

First one being a one-off sit-com Granada made in the 90's (it was the same series off one-off comedies that gave us The Mrs Merton Show) and that featured a wise-cracking talking bear who shared his life with a bloke and his girlfriend.

Another one is more recent which was an Australian Series, which was then re-made in the US featuring a pot-smoking talking dog (portrayed by an actor is a dog outfit), "Wilfred" - ps the Australian version is far funnier than the US version!!!

It was a decent film, kept me entertained for a couple of hours. You shouldn't slag films you haven't seen.

... I didn't?

I ended up watching ''Good Will Hunting'' for the first time last night on bbc3, I thought I would watch the first half hour to see what it was like and watched it all in the end. A very good film, one of the best films I have seen Robin williams in too.

Watched "Cobra" on Channel 5 last night, I'd forgotten what a top film it is. It doesn't get much cooler than Stallone in that film.

Good Will Hunting was an excellent film. Robin Williams was also very good in Awakenings with Robert De Niro.

Anybody seen Teachers (Channel 4, Andrew Lincoln)?

I'm seven episodes in and am truly disappointed. Nothing interesting or original about any of the characters. It's watchable but completely underwhelming.

I caught the last 15mins of Wallander on bbc 1 last night, never seen it before but it looked quite good.

Anybody watched it and is it worth going back to the start and watching it again?

Watched Big Fat Gypsy Gangster on Sky+ Anytime last night.

No matter how bored you are, don't do it. Shocking how this film even got made.

I was amused by Ted - but mildly so, overall. There are a couple of LOL moments though.

Cowboys and Aliens - I suspect the person that conceptualized this movie was as high as the proverbial kite. Different strokes for different folks, but I count it as more of a miss than a hit.

Bonkers concept although I thought it had it's occasional moments. Like most SF movies it was let down by massive plot holes and inconsistencies - for some reason directors of these films seem to think that because it's SF no logical explanation of anything is required.

Has anyone seen The 3 Stooges or The Raven need a good film to watch tonight.

Watched 'Colombiana' last night, really good film if you like films about bloody revenge and happy endings. Much better than 'Vertigo'. It's on Sky Anytime right now.

Escape to Victory, ITV1, was on earlier - taped (yes taped) that, also saved to hard-disk Karate Kid2, Ch5. Currently watching the Goonies on Channel 5!

Just watched ACCUSED on BBC 1 starring sean bean as a transvestite fuckin riddiculus bean is just about the most unlikely tranny i ever saw. The wife is a fan of his so i recorded it for her that should be the end of that.

Does anyone watch Lemon lemon la vida loca? I like it and I usually like all the stuff Keith Lemon (Leigh Francis) does. Anyone else share the same sort of humour?
