Finders Keepers (1984)
Made me laugh so much I nearly wet myself.
Breathing was a problem too !
You do need to pay attention as there are a few setups for gags later in the film and some parts may seem a little slow and confusing on the first viewing.
But I highly recommend this if you like to watch the equivalent of National Lampoons Vacation, Christmas Vacation, Scrooged, The Ice Pirates, It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World or any of the other wacky / screwball (and generally escalating out of control) comedies out there.
It may not be one of yours but is definitely one of my favourites and I am still waiting for it on DVD.
If you liked any of the films in the above list, give it a try if you see it listed.
Shameless (2004)
Feb 2005, Second series good but not as good as the first.
Well, we are most of the way through the second series and unfortunately I cannot help but feel it has lost some of it's edge. This is probably down to the loss of James McAvoy who played Steve as I would quite often wonder what he would be getting up to in the next episode, but don't get me wrong, this was only one of the aspects of waiting for the next episode, and lets face facts, if i am waiting for the next episode then it must still be good.
Above all I must say that this is well played out by all of the actors including the younger ones and the writing always gives a refreshing if skewed point of view of life on the 'inner estate' side of life.
I hope series three is well into the planning stage and that we see a few more of the "What the (insert personal choice of profanity here) are they up to now" moments some of us really enjoy.
Altogether, one of the better series from 2004 (The first series) and still enjoyable now in the second series in 2005.
