Episode 2: Vehicular Fellatio

Aired last night in the UK, episode 2 of Curb Your Enthusiasm season 7 has proven that episode 1 was no fluke… the funniest show on television is back! Sure, I may be as juvenile as Larry David (I giggle just saying the episode title of this one!) but the comedy of the show is anything but.

As always, the show has taken basic things that people may have experienced in their daily life, such as vacuum packaged gifts that you cannot get open (entombed in plastic!),and turned them into their worst case scenarios with reckless abandon. (If you have experienced the episode title, then you may not be so proud after this episode let me tell you! Kills more people than cell phones! Oh and by the way you are one lucky sonofa… ahem… anyway!) Continue reading →

Episode 1: Funkhouser’s Crazy Sister

Curb Your Enthusiasm recently returned to the US after a 2 year gap, and was finally shown here in the UK on E4 last week (the second episode is on tonight.) I was unsure whether to review the show, due to comedy being so subjective. However, I couldn’t help myself so here I am! I will review the first episode now and then try and review tonight’s episode as soon as possible.

For those of you out of the loop, Curb Your Enthusiasm is a comedy show, fully improvised, based around the fictitious life of Seinfeld creator Larry David. Larry is a real person, but the show and the life it portrays are all fake, presented as truth. Anyway, if you haven’t watched the show before, stop reading now! Go and watch it asap as I really do think it is the funniest thing on television (after Peep Show!) Continue reading →

GAME REVIEW – Wii Fit Plus (Nintendo Wii)

By Stewie Sutherland

Wii_Fit_Plus titleWhile Sony and Microsoft are boasting the most powerful machines, the richest, state-of-the-art graphics and some of the world’s most innovative software titles to date, Nintendo have branched away from mainstream gaming and established themselves as a true Family console in the process.

This is nothing new of course: family has always been Nintendo’s watchword, a position they’ve been crystal clear on for many years now. Since the happy days of Mario’s platforming adventures, they’ve changed the way people view a “family system”, with motion controls and games that are not just games the latest weapons at their disposal.

And around Christmas of ’07, no product was in demand quite like their “exercise game”, Wii Fit. An outside-the-box idea that quickly grew until it became the third most sold game in history. Now that its sequel Wii Fit Plus (WFP) has become available, I went to pick up my own copy and find out if the latest healthly-lifestyle game could live up to its reputation. Continue reading →
