Silent Trigger
(1996)

Decent movie? Are you sh*tting me?
OK normally i wouldn't bother commenting on a movie like this, but honestly, what is with the good reviews for it?! So yeah, this is possibly one of the worst films ever made. I watched it late at night with some friends at a sleepover, and as one pointed out, the plot sounded like it was made up by a 6-year-old. The one liners had the so-bad-its-funny feel. And i wonder how desperate Gina Bellmen was for work before she went on Coupling. And Dolph Lundgren....i don't know why anyone ever let him near a film set!

Basically, unless you want to laugh yourself senseless at the stupidity of the plot and how little sense it makes, AVOID.

Tatie Danielle
(1990)

A Good Film...Don't be put off by the fact its in French
Tatie Danielle is a film about an evil old lady who (at the beginning) lives in the south of France with a helper, Odile, who is probably in poorer health than she is. I have to say, when i say evil, i don't mean Disney-type evil-but-all-right-underneath evil. I mean truly evil.

Odile dies after falling off a ladder cleaning the chandelier Tatie Danielle bugged her about for ages, Tatie Danielle moves to Paris to live with her nephew, his wife, and his two sons, one an innocent little boy, the other a homosexual teenager. Tatie Danielle, in the guise of being a frail old lady, starts to make life hell for this family as well, doing things such as abandoning the younger son in the park and wetting herself during a dinner party.

Realising that Tatie Danielle is truly evil, her nephew decides that when the family goes to Greece on holiday, instead of his sister looking after Tatie Danielle as planned, he will hire another helper instead.

Tatie Danielle tries to carry on her old tricks with the new, younger helper but she soon finds she has met her match.

This film has a very dry humor, and is extremely entertaining to watch. The acting is also of a high standard. As a British person living in France, i watched this film in my french class at school without any subtitles, and we all agreed that it was a good film. Don't be put off by the fact it is in French, and you might have to read subtitles if you don't understand French. Just remember, in France most of the films have come from America or Britain and the French people have to read subtitles a lot more! I would particularly recommend this film if you are learning French.

Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
(2004)

Oh Dear.....
I saw the first Bridget Jones movie and thought it was around average. My Mum loved it, and when the DVD for Bridget Jones:The Edge Of Reason came out on DVD, she went i bought it right away. So, without much hope or agenda, I decided to watch it.

This film is absolutely AWFUL. The story bares no resemblance to the book, and the story was unbelievable. Poor acting all around. Why didn't they get the director from the first film back? She was marginally better.

Do yourself a favor, and just read the book, which is actually witty and well-written.

Little Britain
(2003)

Unbelievably Good...
I live in France, and I am virtually the only person at my school who does not have Sky. Therefore, I never saw Little Britain on television, but I heard everyone else at school talking about it and quoting it. So I decided to get this DVD.

Little Britain is possibly one of the smartest, funniest comedies I have ever seen. It was EVEN better than I expected it. If you aren't British, you will probably not understand all of the humor. Most of the stereotypes in the show are exaggerated, but actually real. In Britain, every town has loads of Vicky Pollards. Its hard to believe, but true.

Little Britain is absolutely Unmissable I give in 9.9 out of 10 (because nothing is perfect)
