20th Century Flicks, Bristol

Factory Records, the Hacienda club, Tony Wilson, Happy Mondays, etc, etc. '24 Hour Party People' is an affectionate and humorous trip through Manchester's monster music scene in the 80s and 90s. The soundtrack as you'd expect is blinding and Steve Coogan's portrayal of Wilson is spooky. A film that stands on it's own as an excellent near tragi-comedy, but within its historical context... it's bloody mad!

30 ROCK SEASON 4 DISC 2 (2009)

Certification15 Our Rating

Liz Lemon, (Tina Fey) is the head writer on a variety series on NBC Studios. With the Jack Donaghy as Vice President of East Coast Television, played by Alec Baldwin, Series four sustains the same standard that has maintained it so far with plenty of exceptional moments. The characters are still all hugely dysfunctional and written with enormous affection and comic effect. The situations beautifully constructed. This set contains all the episodes from the show’s fourth series.

A MIGHTY WIND (2003)

Certification12 Our Rating

60s folk music was big business and �The Folksmen', �The New Main Street Singers' and �Mitch and Mickey' were at the top of the heap. Forty years later and in honour of their recently deceased manager, these musical icons decide to reform and put on a show at New York's town hall. Just like Best in Show, Spinal Tap and Waiting for Guffman, Christopher Guest has crafted an acutely observed mockumentary, sublimely eccentric, gently satirical and with numerous one liners that are delivered with an find out more...

A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION (2006)

CertificationPG Our Rating

The king is dead, long live the king. Television has dominated the public's homes for many decades but a few radio shows have survived the visual onslaught. When new owners take over an ailing station one of their first acts is to draw to a close a much loved, but ailing, veteran variety music show. A touching, often witty, series of reminisciences that utilise a cracking cast. Robert Altman's final film may not be up there with his greats but it's still a delightfully understated ensemble piece find out more...

AC/DC LIVE AT DONNINGTON (2007)

Certification15 Our Rating

The mighty 'dc trawl through their back catalogue of reprehensible rock before an enormous crowd. The set features a high quota of classic Bon Scott period material for those of us who remember them back in the day. The performance matches the majesty of their 'basic boogie played VERY loud' approach with attitude, props and theatrics that leave one wondering if the taste police are being payed off in order to keep the band on the road. There's more than a whiff of the Spinal Taps about them, an find out more...

Over 30 Beatles songs are woven into the plot together with visual allusions to their films and, with cameos from Bono and Eddie Izzard, this weird, loud and colourful montage will either have you breaking ou find out more...

ALI G INDAHOUSE (2002)

Certification15 Our Rating

You know the interviews that Ali G did with high powered establishment figures, they were fresh, witty and clever; Well this film is their doppelganger, using as it does a level of humour that would need you to explain how a calculator works before it struggled to add 2 and 2. Ali becomes the darling of the British public and the British parliament when he and his Staines Massive make a valiant fight to stop their local community center from closing. Funny....if you're so bladdered the bed looks find out more...
