Raiders of the Lost Car Park - Robert Rankin

The Simpsons - Raiders Of The Lost Fridge Review

Advantages: Funny, original comedy
Disadvantages: None

The Simpsons - Classics - Raiders Of The Lost Fridge is a compilation of Simpsons episodes with one theme in common. This volume deals with food. Now, how they managed to narrow this down to four episodes when every single one has Homer professing his love for Doughnuts or Duff beer is beyond me, but they did it. The four episodes included here are "Guess Who's Coming To Criticise Dinner?", "King-Size Homer", "Burns Verkaufen Der Kraftwerk" and "Lisa The Vegetarian". "Guess Who's Coming To Criticise Dinner?" has Homer becoming a food critic. Unsurprisingly he messes up his first draft, but is successful when Lisa helps him write another review. But, as Homer's taste is rather, well, universal, he rates everything as top notch. After a talk with the other food critics though, he resorts to being insulting (including a razor sharp put ...

Review of The Simpsons - Classics - Raiders Of The Lost Fridge (DVD)

Robert Rankin is a genius

Advantages: It makes you use your brain in ways you never have before.
Disadvantages: none that I can think of.

The greatest show off Earth was the first Robert Rankin book I ever read and now he's my favourite author. I'll give you a basic idea of what the book's about but I'll try not to give too much away! There are two main characters, Raymond and Simon. Raymond is your average beer drinking 23 year old who loves life and tries to make everybody happy. One day he gets abducted by a flying starfish from Uranus and gets sold as food on the venusian market! He gets rescued by a flying circus, meets the girl of his dreams and gets told he's to save the world from a strange race who live above us although we can't see them!!! While all of this is going on, Simon is still on Earth. He's a bit of a lad and will sleep with anybody (which makes his girlfriend angry) but that's the least of his worries because he too has to save the world from ...

Review of The Greatest Show Off Earth - Robert Rankin

raiders of the lost opportunity

Advantages: Jolie, Mildly entertaining, Chris Barrie
Disadvantages: badly edited action scenes, muddled plot, intrusive techno soundtrack

After viewing reviews of the movie from the USA it seemed Tomb Raider was heading the way of all computer game to movie adaptations. So today I ventured into a press screening with mixed feelings. Certainly the summer movie season has yet to produce a movie that has thrilled me and generally had me excited and entertained from beginning to end. Tomb Raider did nothing to lift my feelings but it's by no means a bad film. As you all know by now Angelina Jolie plays Lara Croft, a sassy chick with attitude who likes to plunder ancient artifacts from tombs (A Tomb Raider in other words), she lives in a country mansion with her butler Hillary (Chris Barrie) and a techno geek Bryce (Noah Taylor). Her father Lord Croft (Jon Voight) has passed away but left a lot of journals in his wake to guide Lara. This leads her to find a mysterious clock ...
