The Complete Denis Leary

Advantages: You'll laugh til it hurts
Disadvantages: erm, your sides will really hurt......

...over bell bottoms!!!! 4)I Dont Get It. well i watched, i listened, and i understood what he was saying but i still dont get it!!!, dysfunctional families get a real dose of the denis leary attitude in this bit. 5)Rockstar, When denis goes into a rant about singers and groups and how he hates a lot of them, and how he thinks motley crue suck and that bon jovi has got real bad hair,its hard not to laugh out loud at the way he says things (although i disagree with his sentiment because the crue dont suck and bon jovi have good hair) . Even the beegees and the beetles are fair game!!!! 6)I love to Smoke! in this amazing bit of the dvd Denis tells you how much he loves smoking (and drinking)and how he wil always smoke even if the laws change and you're only allowed to do it under a blanket in your bedroom with the lights off, he...

Review of The Complete Denis Leary DVD

'I'm just a regular guy...'

Advantages: A little slice of comedy history
Disadvantages: No extras

...Recorded in 1993, the live audio recording of No Cure for Cancer was an extremely successful comedy release, and this DVD contains the Showtime special featuring that set. As Denis Leary is very much an 'adult' comic, the DVD carries an 18 certificate due to the strength of language and drug references. If this type of thing offends you, please don't read on, I'll put some quotes at the end, and even though I'll disguise the fruitier words with ***, I'm sure you'll still guess. Denis Leary: A veteran of 40 plus movies, Denis Leary is probably best known as the main character Tommy Gavin in the very successful US drama series 'Rescue Me'. However, he cut his teeth as a successful stand up comic, and he maintains this is where he is most comfortable. You may remember he first came to attention with short, ranting vox pops to camera...

Review of Denis Leary - No Cure For Cancer (DVD)

Still a menace

Advantages: A masterclass in ranting
Disadvantages: No extras

...1997's Lock and Load is the DVD release of an HBO showcase TV special featuring Denis Leary's stand up comedy. As Leary is very much an 'adult' comic, the DVD carries a 15 certificate due to the strength of language and sexual references. If this type of thing offends you, please don't read on, I'll put some quotes at the end, and even though I'll disguise the fruitier words with ***, I'm sure you'll still guess. For a more detailed background on Denis Leary see the review for 'No Cure for Cancer,' but he is an Irish-American comic and actor with a confrontational, aggressive style, and is recognisable from extensive film and television drama work, most recently the hit series 'Rescue Me'. The Set: Compared to 1993's classic No Cure for Cancer, the delivery still jackhammers along, punctuated with breathlessness and anger, but...

Review of Denis Leary - Lock 'N' Load (DVD)

St Deny's, the clean hotel for my dirty weekend!

Advantages: Polite and helpful staff, clean hotel.
Disadvantages: Bed a bot on the small side for my husband.

...After an incredible weekend away with my darling husband to celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary, I have now decided to do my first and quite possibly my last hotel review! Our destination of choice for this excursion was to be a place new to us, so of course the hotel had to be in a prime location at a price we could afford?fortunately we seemed to fall on our feet so to speak on both of these points. Our destination, to be exact was York, and due to the sheer number of attractions available to us, we wanted a hotel reasonably central, or at least within walking distance of the few sights we wished to see. After some extensive research, mostly through the designated York tourist board site, we came across the perfect hotel. St Denys hotel, a small but very quaint hotel, housing 13 rooms only, but with it?s own parking...

Review of St Denys Hotel, York

Great the first listen through...

Advantages: Asshole, rants
Disadvantages: tedious, no re-listen value

...Sorry this is the cd version only: So Denis Leary, you may have your opinions on him, you may never have heard of him, you may think he's an act stealing pillock, you may think he's a comedic genious. I'm not going to get into it and say anything about his act, or that of Bill Hicks, I will, for once stick solely to the subject at hand. No cure for cancer opens with the cult song "Asshole", something many may think Leary is, but a catchy track all the same, lots of swearing lots of anti-pc lyrics, but not a great deal else to it than "I'm an asshole, look at me laughing at everyone who's less fortunate". The track does basically introduce you to Leary easily enough, if you find the song funny you'll like the album. The album, which was recorded as part of Leary's stage show and put on to CD, VHS and music cassette, so a lot...

Review of Denis Leary: No Cure For Cancer (DVD)

Motormouth stands up!

Advantages: Very frank stand up
Disadvantages: A bit dated now

...You may have seen Denis Leary on a short clips shown on MTV during the 90s. This video is caustic to say the least, well for 1993 when it was released. It is one of those videos I have watched over and over gain and can remember most of the dialogue. Very politically uncorrect with frank references to drugs and ways to abuse over the counter medicines in the 70s, 80s and 90s - very funny! Told in a non stop motormouth, chain smoking, intense dialogue you could almost be scared of him. But he is a very, very funny man. -- Quotes -- Denis on the 70s - "There we were in the middle of a sexual revolution wearing clothes that guaranteed we wouldn't get laid." Denis on the 80s - "We live in a country where John Lennon takes eight bullets, Yoko Ono is walking right beside him and not one hits her. Explain that to...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

Review of Conflict Denied Ops (PS3)

Farewell O' Leary...

Advantages: New manager
Disadvantages: Me in tears, literally

...I have today been saddened with the news of David O? Leary being sacked as Leeds United manager. It?s like a death in the family. All I feel like doing is lying on my bed and mourning. Why the hell did Leeds sack the one good manager that we have had in the last few years? My conclusion is that it is all down to Rio Ferdinand. Over the last few weeks the newspapers back pages have been filled with tails of Rio Ferdinand leaving Leeds to go to Manchester United. O? Leary made it clear that selling Rio to Man U was the last thing he wanted to do. I think that an ?official bid? that was far too lucrative for those PLC money grabbers on the board had come in for Rio, and they just couldn?t reject it, so O? Leary left. That is just my view. Many people believe that O? Leary isn?t such a good manager. Those are the people that just...
