Can't believe this is another great comedy that will be shown and then disappear into oblivion. Written and starring Dan Clark (Johnny Two Hats from Mighty Boosh), the atmosphere, comic subtleties and characters impressed me no end. The main story is based on 'dickhead' Don who is informed and delighted to hear he inherited his grandmothers house, this brings along a mortgage and Don's dead grandmothers carer Eddie, a fantastic original character who ends up caring for Don without asking for anything back, his strange upbeat caring persona is a brilliant comedy addition. With bills to pay he ends up renting a room to girl of his dreams and ex classmate Abby Jones unaware she has a serious relationship with anally retentive boyfriend Karl getting in the way. A joy to watch, hopefully a DVD will come out but can see it being another 'Snuff box'. What this comedy isn't is something trying hard to be crazy and wacky for the "youf". Will be keeping an eye on anything Dan Clark writes in the future.

Sin City VS Labyrinth
6 June 2005
No film in the last ten years has more impact than labyrinth, I made quirky films like this in media school so I no what I'm talking about. David Bowie tells it like it is, how can you beat a master story teller like that, especially when he turns into an owl at the start, man that is so cool! Tell me Sin City fans how can you justify rating this film over the fantastical splendour that is Jim Hensons Labyrinth? And then there's the super smart fox that rides the dog and the bog of eternal stench and Bluto man what about Bluto, ain't he the biggest gayest gingerest hero known to man. Think about it, all Sin City is is some old black and white movie like Casablanca or Sound of Music or something.
