DVD Update (11/09/2011 - 24/09/2011)

Hellooooooooooooooo, welcome to the bi-weekly, fortnightly, two weekly DVD update, let''s get straight to the meat of the meal ---

30 Rock Season 2 - so I finally get to see the second series of 30 rock, whilst very funny is not as funny as the first or third series I still enjoyed it very much.

Saturday Night Live Christmas - my only complaint of any potential SNL completion disc is the re-use of sketches, in this case the one that sticks out is the Schwety Balls sketch, whilst very funny is the third disc I've got with it on (it's also on the Molly Shannon and Alec Baldwin discs - I'm sure if there is ever an Ana Gasteyer disc, the third person in the skit, it will be on that). R1 disc.

Night At The Museum 2 - an improvement on the first film with a fun villain in Hank Azaria, some cool smaller roles and the established characters and new faces jelling well.

The League Of Gentlemen - Christmas Special - along with Blackadder's Christmas Carol and The Ricky Gervais pair (The Office and Extras), one of my favourite Christmas specials.

Shameless Christmas and New Year Specials

Hitman

Bowfinger - funny movie, dare I say it the last funny starring roles for Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy so far.

King Kong - The 2005 version, which I've actually never seen, picked it up very cheap to complete my Peter Jackson collection.

Hannibal / Red Dragon - two Hannibal Lecter films collected together, neither of them even as good as Manhunter or The Silence Of The Lambs

Legally Blonde - very enjoyable with a very appealing lead peformance from Reese Witherspoon. It's only of them films which is best to ignore the sequel because it as none of the charm or the sparkle of the first movie.

Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence

The West Wing Season 3 - and now my West Wing collection is complete, brought for a decent price of £3.

Easy A - The best teen movie since Mean Girls, there I said it.

The Road To Welville
Barton Fink
Punch-Drunk Love

Fierce Creatures - the closest thing to a sequel to A Fish Called Wanda is actually pretty funny if you ignore any comparisons to Wanda.

Diamond Dogs
Animal Farm
National Lampoon's Class Reunion
Reality Bites / Mystery Men / Your Friends and Neighbors
The Magic Christian

An Evening With Kevin Smith 2 - my only problem with Kevin Smith Q&A is the amount of people who ask questions who think they are hilarious. This second Evening is rather two filmed Q&As rather then a collection of like the first volume and is perhaps weaker for it.

Oscar - not sure why there is a negative response to this movie it's a very fun farce.

No Retreat, No Surrender 3
Prancer
Loose Cannons
Black Swan
