Kidulthood (DVD)
1 of 1 found this helpful Larry Clark's Kids meets Grange Hill in Kidulthood, a West London drama that's ripped from the pages of the tabloids. Director Menhaj Huda delivers a visual feast complete with compelling situations and a ferocious soundtrack, but one that's ultimately as moralistic as the Richard Curtis rom-coms that share its setting’s postcode. Teenage multicultural London has never been brought to life so vividly, though, and for that alone this is a film that merits the attention of both kids and adults.
Noel Clarke (Billie Piper's boyfriend in Doctor Who) is both the writer and star of Kidulthood. He plays Sam, the burly sixth former who uses the school playground as his personal fiefdom. His reign of terror comes under threat, however, when a schoolgirl commits suicide; the rest of her classmates are given compassionate leave and subsequently roam the streets of London, causing mayhem with their loose-fitting tracksuits and even looser knowledge of life. Sex, drugs, violence, teenage pregnancy, shoplifting - a week's worth of Daily Mail editorials will be played out before the big climactic showdown.
"PERFORMANCES VEER FROM BRILLIANT TO PANTOMIME"
Given the young cast it's no surprise that the performances are uneven, veering from brilliant to pantomime (ironically though, it's the adults who deliver the latter). Most memorable are Aml Ameen as the charismatic, conflicted Trife; Red Madrell's pregnant Alisa; and Adam Deacon as the comic relief, Jay. Although lacking the finesse of Saul Dibb's more poetic Bullet Boy (2005), Kidulthood is still a movie that happy-slaps some welcome life into the British film industry.
AMAZING FILM.. DONT MISS IT!!!

The Incredibles (DVD 2005)
2 of 2 found this helpful Saving the world before dinner gets cold, Pixar's The Incredibles blends superhero derring-do with domestic dysfunction to wickedly funny effect. Writer-director Brad Bird shows the same attention to character that set apart his debut feature, The Iron Giant (1999), and ensures that sumptuous CG animation takes second place to a ripping good yarn. Flexing their acting muscles as well as their vocal chords, Craig T Nelson and Holly Hunter boost the quirky quotient for this truly inspired family adventure.
Set in the candy-coloured 50s, workaday crime-fighter Mr Incredible aka Bob Parr (Craig T Nelson) falls foul of an ungrateful citizen who sues him for botching his suicide attempt. Other law suits follow, prompting a nationwide ban on all superheroes and forcing Bob and his wife Helen aka Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) underground.
"BRILLIANT COMIC SPARKS"
Fifteen years later the Incredibles are leading a humdrum suburban existence; their children (Spencer Fox, Sarah Vowell) struggle to fit in with their less than incredible peers while Bob yearns for the glory days. Helen begs them to conform, but when the world faces a new threat from the psychotic Syndrome (Jason Lee), Bob defies his wife's wishes and that's when the trouble really begins.
High-octane action rubs up against mundane moments creating brilliant comic sparks, like the sight of a hulking Bob wedged inside his office cubicle or a fellow crusader snagging his cape with fatal consequences. Both Hunter and Nelson brilliantly underplay their roles and never lapse into goofball delivery. However, it's Bird himself who steals the show as fascist fashion designer Edna, a riotous cross between Vivienne Westwood and Pol Pot.
Much of the humour risks playing over the heads of younger viewers and the two-hour running time will also test small concentration spans. But The Incredibles flies high above the crowd for its worldly wit and compassion for humankind.

The Simpsons Movie (DVD)
3 of 3 found this helpful Twenty years after their television debut, renowned animated comedy series The Simpsons finally escapes the small screen to make its theatrical debut - imaginatively titled "The Simpsons Movie." With typical big screen epic flair, the film finds the fate of Springfield - the Simpson's infamous fictional hometown - in the hands of the family's hapless patriarch, Homer Jay.
Diehard fans of the series will no doubt love the film, and newcomers will find it easy to follow along without ever having seen a single episode; but the question remains...was it really worth the wait?
The Film
After Homer turns Springfield into "the most polluted city in the history of the planet," by dumping his pet pig's refuse into the contaminated sludge of Lake Springfield, the town is sealed off from the rest of the nation under a giant dome by the head of the United States Environmental Protection Agency. What's more, the EPA has targeted the town for total annihilation. Once the townsfolk get wind of the fact that it is Homer who has caused their predicament, they set upon the Simpson family with torches, pitchforks, and other typical "angry mob" paraphernalia. The family manages to escape through a sinkhole in their backyard, and from there they make their way to Alaska where Homer plans to make a new start and forget all about Springfield. All is not well, however - Marge, having finally grown weary of Homer's constant selfish exploits, packs up the kids and makes her way back without him. She and the children are quickly taken into custody and placed back in the dome. Homer then decides he must change his ways to not only save his marriage, but to rescue his family and save the very town which drove him out.
It all sounds very dire, but believe me, it's not as doom and gloom as it may seem. The feature actually plays out very lightly, because "The Simpsons Movie" more closely resembles a long, two hour Simpsons episode than it does a theatrical feature. It was not an easy task to produce a film adaptation for a series with over 400 episodes and nearly 20 seasons under its belt. The main detriment to a Simpsons film is how to, once again, spin it afresh without treading through familiar territory.
That said, there was nothing innately bad about "The Simpsons Movie." It offers two hours of mildly amusing entertainment in the signature Simpsons style of one gag strung after the next, including the obligatory subversive social commentaries on government, religion, and sex; but therein lies the problem. The creators did not break any new ground taking The Simpsons to the big screen. Here, out from under the ever-watchful eyes of the FCC, the filmmakers proffer little else than a glimpse of Bart's genitalia and jokes about Bart's drinking problem.
Tentative use of creative freedom aside, the film moves along at a rapid pace and offers some laughs along the way. Certainly The Simpsons Movie makes a decent weekend popcorn flick, if nothing else. I surely don't think anyone was expecting a profound cinematic statement out of this film -- I certainly wasn't. So, to answer the question I posed -- was it worth the wait? Only to the most ardent fans of the series would that answer be "yes." To the rest of humanity, I would say "no," but that doesn't mean it's not worth a watch if you're in the mood for some mindless amusement every now and again.
Overall, I think this film is fantastic and they should definately make more!!
