"MATCH POINT" - This "A Place In the Sun"-esque thriller is Woody Allen's best film since "Bullets Over Broadway," and the film definately ranks among his best. It's unpredictable and consistently engrossing; an excellent character piece - turned social study - turned suspense thriller, in which Jonathan Rhys-Meyers gives a flawless performance.
Some say there is no such thing as a typical "Woody Allen film." I disagree. While he's played with several genres over the years, there is an underlying element to his movies that is definatley Allen. You can't quite put your finger on it, but it's there.
In "Match Point," however, that element is nowhere to be found. And the film really is all the better for it.
"LITTLE BRITAIN" (Series Two) - David Williams and Matt Lucas are brilliant in this second season of the British sketch comedy. The boys pepper their original cast of characters with a few new quirky ones. Joining original characters such as transvestite Emily Howard, teen delinquent Vicky Pollard, the "only gay in the village" David, and out-of-work actor Dennis Waterman are Carol "Computer Says No" Beer and Harvey "Bitty" Pincher.
The guys are hilarious. You'll be rolling with laughter!
(Side note: The DVD menu page on these discs is way too busy and hard to figure out. But once you get past that, "Little Britain" is classic comedy. You won't be disappointed.)
