20th Century Flicks, Bristol

22 December 1989 heralded Ceausescu's fall from power in Romania. Sixteen years on, a provincial TV talk show decides to commemorate the event by asking local heroes to reminisce about their own contributions to the revolution. But securing suitable guests proves an unexpected challenge and the producer is left with two less than ideal participants; a drink addled history teacher and a lonely sometime Santa Claus grateful for the company. In the farcical show that follows, the mens' fanciful boa find out more...

A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION (2006)

CertificationPG Our Rating

The king is dead, long live the king. Television has dominated the public's homes for many decades but a few radio shows have survived the visual onslaught. When new owners take over an ailing station one of their first acts is to draw to a close a much loved, but ailing, veteran variety music show. A touching, often witty, series of reminisciences that utilise a cracking cast. Robert Altman's final film may not be up there with his greats but it's still a delightfully understated ensemble piece find out more...

Pretty much more of what you got first time round…..but BIGGER! Anchor Man 2 may lack the fresh, surreal idiocy of number one, but the relentless machine gun cretinism soon beats you into submission and there are some truly inspired moments. Plot:…Really?

ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY (2004)

Certification15 Our Rating

Nobody out scoops or out catchphrases Ron Burgundy, he's San Diego's numero uno anchorman, loved by the public almost as much as he's loved by himself. This being the 1970s and Ron, being a raging but oblivious misogynist, is thrown into freefall by the arrival of a female anchor, a meltdown that not even his dim-witted and equally bigoted newsroom buddies can save him from. "Anchorman" is Will Ferrell's most successful attempt yet to take the lead in a film and though it drags on occasion there find out more...

BOB ROBERTS (1992)

Certification15 Our Rating

Tim Robbins wrote, directed and stars in a film that exposes very cleverly the underbelly of US politics. He plays the charismatic Roberts, a right-wing "protest" singer, whose views begin to capture the nation's interest. Sinister machinations abound behind the scenes, and the documentary style works well. Funny too!

BORAT (2006)

Certification15 Our Rating

How can something so wrong feel so right? Just one of the questions you are bound to ask if you decide to make the leap of faith and watch this film. Kazakhstan's favourite TV journo decides that a trip to the "U, S and A" is just what his country needs so he heads off with his trusty producer, Azamat. Absolutely hilarious; the Pamela Anderson stalking, the cheese-eating, the �running of the Jew', a Pamplona-style event in Borat's village, the gypsy-tear-collecting, the rodeo crowd cheering Bora find out more...
