"TOGAAAA!!!"

Anyone seen National Lampoon's Animal House? I have ;)
Possibly the greatest movie about college ever made.

If you haven't seen it, you simply haven't lived. It made my year. Seriously.

It tells the story of Delta house, the worst house on campus as they stumble their way through college by cheating on tests, starting fights, and having crazy parties. This film makes me want to travel back to to pledge Delta...
Animal House wouldn't be nearly as good, however, if it wasn't for John Belushi (R.I.P.), he is genuinely amazing as a disgusting, drunk, carefree student.
You'll probably recognise Donald Sutherland, Karen Allen (Indiana Jones) and Kevin Bacon from other well known films.

My advice to you is WATCH IT.
It'll make you lol :')

"LICK ME! All of you!"


It's sex, drugs and rock and roll. It's Dazed and Confused. I recently watched it and LOVED it, it's very funny and extremely entertaining. I think it's the best thing since sliced bread, no joke.

It's about American teenagers in the 70s just after breaking up from school, they drink a lot of beer, they party, get in trouble, and they smoke some pot. But that's not all, it also has amazing music :)

The funniest (and cruelest) bit is watching senior students toture juniors. For the boys, it's beatings. And for the girl's, it's total embarrassment - it involves mustard.

I can't think of one bad thing to say about this film, just that it didn't last long enough. Seriously. Watch it...so long as you're 15 or over...

If you've seen it, let me know what you think please.

"I'm the Slayer."


My all time favourite TV series (by far) is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The name may sound a bit cheesy, but don't let that put you off. It's the story of Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) a witty and attractive 16 year old girl who just happens to be the Slayer. With the help of the school librarian and her close friends (who provide most of the humour) she battles evil and saves the world. But not only does she have to fight bad guys, but she also has to deal with school and do normal teenage things - such as dating. And she has her eyes on the tall, dark and mysterious Angel (David Boreanaz).

Buffy and her friends are all extremely likeable characters and they have a lot of depth to them. They also never fail to make me laugh: whether it's Xander's lame jokes, Buffy's witty comebacks, Cordelia's cutting remarks or Willows naivety.

Please watch this, you won't regret it. Just overlook the slightly dated special effects and I guarantee you'll enjoy it :)

It appeals to people of all ages, male and female and most episodes are classified as 12 (some are 15). There are 7 series in total so you won't run out of episodes anytime soon.

"Is that a rabbit in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"


One of my favourite, if not my favourite, movies of all time has to be Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It may be slightly childish and rather immature, but it never fails to amuse me.

"It's 1974 Hollywood and Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins), a down-on-his-luck detective, is hired to find proof that Marvin Acme, gag factory mogul and owner of toontown, is playing hanky-panky with femme fatale Jessica Rabbit, wife of Maroon Cartoon superstar, Roger Rabbit. When Acme is found murdered, all fingers point to Roger, and the sinister, power hungry judge Doom (Christopher Lloyd) is on a mission to bring Roger to justice. Roger begs the Toon-hatin Valiant to find the real evildoer and the plot thickens as Eddie uncovers scandal after scandal and realisezes that the very existence of Toontown is at stake!"

It successfully balances silly 'Toons' for your inner child and slight adult humour (see heading). It is my perfect pick-me-up movie as I find myself laughing at how completely ridiculous it is. Also, I don't know about you, but I found myself wishing that there really was a 'Toontown' and that cartoons roamed the streets :)
I also (secretly) found myself wishing that I looked like Jessica Rabbit, you don't have to like girls to notice that she's hot :P it doesn't matter that she's freakishly out of proportion or that, logically, her barbie-like legs could never realistically support her.
Although, besides Roger, my favourite character has to be Baby Herman, there's something so hilarious about a little baby with the libido of a middle-aged man.

However I do remember, as a child, being upset by the 'dip' (the magical liquid that kills Toons) and being disturbed by the end fight of good vs. evil - the evil (Judge Doom) is pretty scary.

I would definitely reccommend this film as it's great family viewing (it's a PG for some mild violence language and sex references), and p-p-p-please let me know what you think of it.
