The Simpsons!

Advantages: A story that we havnt seen before on tv
Disadvantages: It's not very long

...Well the Simpsons family are back again in this action-packed film! All your favourite characters are here plus a few new ones. It was released on the 10th December 2007 by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment who have been created films since 1976. The film itself is only an hour and a half long which I found to be a little disappointing as it the equivalent of only three episodes. I was hoping for something a little longer from a movie. It was however worth buying because this film is very different to the simpsons television shows and it hasn't unlike most of them been repeated about 15 times. This movie was directed by David Silverman and stars the voices of many great actors such as Dan Castellaneta and Nancy Cartwright. It only has one disk but it does have some extra features which are: six deleted scenes, trailers used...

The Simpsons Movie

Advantages: Some funny bits
Disadvantages: Not exactly groundbreaking

...There can't be too many people that need introducing to TV's most dysfunctional TV family but just in case there is I will begin by saying that they are an animated family that live in Springfield, somewhere in the United States. Mother to their three children, is bright blue haired Marge, father is the slob like Homer whilst the three children are Bart, Lisa and baby Maggie. The Simpson's cartoons have been screened regularly in the UK on both Sky One and Channel 4. Over 400 individual episodes of these 25 minute long cartoons have been made and this number is still rising. A full length movie version is something that had been in the pipeline for quite a few years. Unlike most animated cartoons the Simpsons are not entirely aimed at children, they have a huge adult fan base and their use of witty double entendres make them work...

The Simpsons ... Embiggened!

Advantages: Better than newer episodes, some great jokes
Disadvantages: Weaker than older episodes

...Although long-awaited, the Simpsons Movie was finally released in 2007 with the show at a widely-accepted low ebb. I think many who went to see it probably had mixed expectations; the release of something that had been in the pipeline so long was an exciting prospect, although it had been that long since the show had produced a run of consistently good episodes, only the optimistic or ardently faithful would have been predicting a return to the series' 90s heights. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle; the film is neither as good nor bad as it could have been. A year and a bit on from release, the DVD's reduced pretty much everywhere now, so if you didn't catch it at the cinema, it's worth investing in now. The premise of the movie revolves around environmental issues, specifically the pollution of Lake Springfield. After...

The Simpsons - Sex, Lies And The Simpsons Review

Advantages: Very funny, well-handled serious episodes
Disadvantages: None

...The Simpsons: Sex, Lies and the Simpsons is a collection of four episodes from "The Simpsons", each with a romantic theme. These four episodes are "The Last Temptation Of Homer", "Bart After Dark", "New Kid On The Block" and "Lisa's Rival". In "The Last Temptation Of Homer", a new employee is hired at the nuclear plant, who seems to take an interest in Homer. Meanwhile, Bart becomes an outcast after being given huge black glasses, special shoes and a throat spray that makes him sound a lot like Jerry Lewis. A funny episode, but also a serious look at Homer and Marge's relationship and how Homer acts when he is attracted to someone else. "Bart After Dark" has Lisa and Marge leaving the boys alone while they go and clean up animals after an oil spill. Bart causes some damage at the local 'haunted house', so Homer tells him to go...

The Simpsons: Gone Wild review

Advantages: Fun to watch, great writing
Disadvantages: No extras

...The Simpsons: Gone Wild is a collection of four episodes from America's favourite family! The episodes on this DVD are "Homer's Night Out", "Homer the Moe", "Sunday Cruddy Sunday" and "The Mansion Family". "Homer's Night Out" has Bart mailing off for a CIA camera after an ad he saw in the back of one of his comic books. He uses it to great aplomb, taking a picture of Homer when he is cavorting around with an erotic dancer. Soon the photo has spread around the whole town and it's only a matter of time before it ends up in the hands of Marge! An enjoyable very early episode, it highlights the trouble a marriage sometimes go through, but Marge and Homer are meant to be, and you know they'll always end up back together with a bond stronger than ever. In "Homer the Moe" Homer stands in at Moe's Tavern while Moe goes away to try and find...

The Simpsons: Film Festival review

Advantages: Fantastic writing, hilarious comedy
Disadvantages: None

...The Simpsons: Film Festival is a 'best of' collection of four episodes. One of my favourite things about The Simpsons is their memorable movie references, and these four episodes are four of the greatest examples of this. The episodes are "Beyond Blunderdome", "A Star is Burns", "22 Short Films About Springfield" and "The Itchy and Scratchy Movie". In "Beyond Blunderdome" Homer wins tickets to see Mel Gibson's new movie, a remake of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington", and asked to review it, which he promptly berates for being boring. This bothers Mel so much he flies back to Springfield and asks for Homers help in order to re-edit the film. What results is a bloody tour de force that has Mel decapitating the President of the United States. The remake is so crazy that it could be true, and that's how they get the parody spot on, because...
