Baseketball (DVD)

IF you didn't like South Park, you won't like this film. It comes from the creators of South Park and is full of their space out left field humour. It's a buddy film, but is rude, dirty, has lots of swearing, they pick on the little guy (but it's so funny when they do), go after gorgeous gals, and make fun of American Sport. It's an absolutely original film, in these days when most things have been done to death. It's the kind of film that you watch repeatedly and see little things in it that you didn't notice before. The 2 main characters invent a game - quite a cool one, actually - and it becomes massively popular ...  Read the complete review

This is a film that everyone who has ever watched South Park MUST watch. Written by Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the same guys who wrote South Park, this film offers a little insight into the minds of these two modern comic geniuses. The plot is pretty basic - two bummed-out losers invent a game which grows to become the new craze, a little love interest, money, and morality all combine to make this classic. Featuring a rare on-screen appearance from Parker and Stone, with Yasmine Bleeth and Jenny McCarthy, and a cameo appearance by Victoria Silvstedt ('Is that Victoria Silvstedt, Playmate of the Year?') the cast wouldn't necessaryily attract the ...  Read the complete review
