20th Century Flicks, Bristol

Written by and starring stand up comedian Sean Lock, this is a delightfully misanthropic view of the world observed from the giddy heights of a South London tower block. Vince is a small minded, mean spirited loser, fortunate only in that life continues to offer up individuals, like his new flatmate, Errol, even more hopeless than he is.

24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE (2002)

Certification18 Our Rating

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!

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.
