The Mighty Boosh (2003)
Come With Us Now On A Journey Through Time And Space...
This wonderfully strange series revolves around two friends, Howard Moon (Julian Barratt) and Vince Noir (Noel Fielding) and their hilarious adventures mixed with catchy music. Series One is set in 'ZOONIVERSE', a crazy zoo with even crazier employees. Series Two is based at 'the flat' where Vince and Howard live with Naboo and Bollo, in this series they travel to many different places. Series Three is centered on the 'Nabootique', Naboos store full of strange objects and even stranger customers.
HOWARD MOON: A jazz maverick, has a simple truth to him and doesn't keep up with the latest trends. Likes to think of himself as a man with many talents, including writing, photography and acting. His hero is Tommy... though Tommy has gone a bit wrong.
VINCE NOIR: Often mistaken for Howards wife. His life revolves around his hair (and clothes). Has wrote some short stories called 'Charlie'. Doesn't follow trends, he sets them. Easily distracted and the least intelligent of the two.
NABOO: A shamen. Is best friends with Bollo. Always helps Vince and Howard out of sticky situations. Loves a bong.
BOLLO: A gorilla and Naboos' familiar. Is a DJ and drums. Has no interest in Howard but fond of Vince who he refers to as a 'precious flower'.
BOB FOSSIL: One of the most legendary characters of the series. Is seen in a blue shirt and trousers, two sizes too small. It would be fair to say he is not the sharpest tool in the shed. Appears in every series.
Other characters to look out for: Old Gregg, Crack Fox, The Ape Of Death, Tommy, Harrison, Saboo and many, many more!!
"CHARMING, AUDACIOUS AND GENUINELY INNOVATIVE" - the times.
Angel Heart (1987)
Quite Possibly The Most Brilliant Thriller You're Ever Likely To See,,
I think the summary... sums it up! This is a rich classy thriller/horror and even funny in some parts (once you've watched it, you'll understand what i mean!).
With terrific performances from the always-excellent Mickey Rourke (whom i happen to love... *Winks*) and from Robert De Niro (not to mention the rest of the cast) it's hard not to love this brilliant movie, i guess it's one of those blockbusters, you either love this, or hate it.
I wont go too much into the story, but i must say there are plenty of satisfying deaths (though, don't expect anything too gory.. this was made in 1987 after all...), although i'm 14 (and own it on directors edition), i wouldn't suggest young children watch it, because of the overall contents of nudity and a very strong sex scene.
I highly suggest anyone with taste for a great movie, which not only twists and turns but will keep you thinking about it, not to mention talking about it, i recommend this movie. And i completely recommend the Directors Cut edition, which i got for a mere £6 in HMV (it's worth so much more), so look around and i'm sure you'll find it at a cheap price, even try AMAZON.COM/CO.UK. You will NOT be disappointed by this movie.
The Stray (2000)
Wanna know if this is your Kinda film? READ THIS:
The Stray is a good action thriller and i don't understand why all the bad comments are made about it. OK, so it may not have as much action as Die Hard or be as mysterious as Mystic River, but if you want a movie you can munch popcorn to and be at the edge of your seat, this is the movie for you! Michael Madsen has stunning performances in it, as well as the rest of the crew! This is basically a mysterious/action/thriller that boys will love because of the action and girls will love because of.. well, Michael Madsen! If you are very impatient, however, and like stories to start straight away, without not tensity, then better give this a miss and rent out Jackie Brown..
