La Danse

Now that the Black Swan dust has settled, the awards have been handed out and everyone remembers they don’t really like ballet as much as they convinced themselves they do – we turn our attention to a documentary that might just change your opinion.

Gavin & Stacey : Series 3

The show works best when Smithy (James Corden) is given room to shine, while UK comedy veteran, Rob Brydon, also delivers some pretty consistent laughs as the “Kel Knight-esque” Bryn West.

The Slammin Salmon is by no means their best, but does improve with repeated viewing, and is yet another example of why “mates having fun” always beats a “collection of well known comedy stars”…

What is it about insanity, violence and murder that drives the movie public wild? Between the success of Hostel and Saw, along with the cult status of sadistic mind-benders A Clockwork Orange, Funny Games and now the wondrously bonkers Bronson – it’s a wonder the human race hasn’t wiped itself out yet.

Tim And Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!

This hilariously twisted show takes the idea of Public Access TV and Home Shopping ads and literally rapes them. Violently.

Heckler : Jamie Kennedy Loses The Argument By Losing Self Respect

The Chaser : Creepy Asian Killers

In fact, one would assume if Chas Liccidello & Co attempted to recreate anything from this decidedly graphic crime tale – they’d be kicked off air quicker than you can say “APEC Security Breach”.
