Bad Girls: Series 3 Review

If you loved Bad Girls s1 and s2, you need to see s3 to find out what happens to Nikki and Helen. Oh, yeah, and to those other characters, too...
Shed productions is to be commended for allowing fans to have a (spoiler alert) happy ending for one of the most compelling love stories ever told or seen on TV. But it doesn't just happen--the characters have to earn it!
Some fun stuff in the extras, but no deleted scenes, although, there are no scenes like the one in s2 (YOU know the one), so, no worries. Some good cast interviews.

Happy Family Plan [Region 4] Review

While I'm unfamiliar with this Australian 2-disc set, I can tell you a bit about this hilariously entertaining show that aired in Japan during the late 90's. Shiawase Kazoku Keikaku, aka Happy Family Plan, was notable for several reasons, but primarily because the Japanese were experiencing what the West is living through now - a terrible economic downturn. Ironically, the causes were quite similar despite being nearly twenty years apart.

Average working families endured quite a bit of suffering during those years, and in some respects continue to do so; there was little in the budget for life's luxuries. 'Happy Family Plan' offered a chance to win those perks - as long as the head of your family would undertake a surprise week-long task.

Selected families were chosen "Publisher's Clearinghouse" style by one of several enthusiastic show greeters who would bring along an infamous prize catalog. Family members could then choose one prize each, as long as the cumulative total was no greater than 3,000,000 ($30,000 USD). Quite a bit of money back then, especially for the notoriously frugal Japanese. Interestingly, prizes ranged from cars, trips abroad, and diamond rings -to- children's toys and cute puppies. Part of the fun was watching them pick their items, many already in anticipation of ownership.

Of course nothing is truly free. Or easy when it comes to Japanese game shows.

The twist was that the task was often an obscure or bizarre skill, usually tailor-fit to the weakness of the father, whom the producers researched before the greeters were sent out. So if your dad had no known musical background - that's what the task would entail. And even then it would encompass something unlike anything that could be construed as normal. An example: Playing 'Silent Night, Holy Night' on large handheld bells. Keep in mind, that's not a song often heard in asian countries. Another might involve intense mental/memory games, but having a father who works as a construction laborer.

Very often, families were tasked with 'bar bets' - such as stacking several dice by spinning them in a cup or blowing a 1-Yen coin (made of aluminum) into a shot of whiskey. Or worse, other tasks could be highly physical 'street performer' skills like juggling or cutting vegetables with playing cards.

You get the idea.

Families were then left with several handheld cameras with instructions to film every day until the show; and those were later gathered and quickly edited for the Big Day. And believe me, those seven days passed very fast. Even if a parent were diligent in learning their task (many were not) the bright lights on a big stage, in front of a live studio audience and tv cameras, could rattle even the most confident of fathers and mothers.

The program created the best of dramas - with incredible laugh out loud highs and soul-crushing lows - as families tried their very best to win. In the end you hoped every family would succeed, but it usually ran about 50/50. The losses, especially for the children, were honestly heartbreaking.

Notes:

- The show's theme music was taken from the classic 60's kitschy cartoon "Super Chicken".

- Won an International Emmy Award in 1998, along with a Montreux Rose D'Or Silver Award that same year.

- One of the most popular and most widely licensed programs from the Japanese TBS television channel; having been distributed to over 30 countries and multiple dozens of markets across the globe, including the US and China.

- Notable since some families were without fathers - mothers would undertake the challenge in an unusual bit of social progressiveness.

- Searching the 'net sometimes yields full episodes. A recent YouTube search found several edited episodes with English subtitles.

Roxy Music - The High Road Review

Just before they offically broke up, the group recorded this live video in Paris. Now on DVD, this concert marks the apex of Roxy Music's artistic ability. The live performances are not quite as polished as the tracks on their "albums", but deliver a drive that hooks you in. Here you can both see and hear songs from throughout the band's exsistance, culminating with a few songs from there then recent release "Avalon". The lead singer, Bryan Ferry, went on to record several excellent CDs that went kept moving in the direction that Avalon was moving. The final song on this DVD is a cover version of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy". It is FANTASTIC. There is a CD release of this concert entitled "Heart Still Beating", that contains most of the songs. If you are a fan of Roxy Music, you should get this DVD. You will definately like it.

Product Description

When the body Ma Lun Chio is brought back to the village by a new wife and her "brother", Wai Li is suspicious. He sets out to find out how his friend died, but things are not what they seem. Written by David Noble

The Dead And The Deadly Review

I'm not sure if this was intended as a sequel to 'Encounters of The Spooky Kind'. I enjoyed this film a lot. Basically, it was about Sammo's character trying to avenge the death of one of his friends, played by Wu Ma, who he suspects was murdered.
There isn't much fighting in this one, compared to the previous film. Sammo has one big fight scene in the middle, and that's pretty much it. But the comedy is hilarious, especially when he's going around town arguing with his ghost friend who no one else can see!
Lam Ching Ying didn't do any fighting in this film. He pretty much played the same role (Taoist priest) he would go on to play in his Mr Vampire films.
Overall, a fun movie, even though the ending is sudden - like jumping off some cliff.
