Gamer, was ok I guess, I loved the two Crank films but this was a bit of a let down. Eessentialy a Running Man remake with a video game 21st Century slant, It spent too much time developing a painfully simple plot and skimped on the egregious violence it was presumably meant to satire.
The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer however was a revelation, a razor sharp political satire from Peter Cook that's incredibly prescient and very funny. A slick weasel PR played by Cook worms his way from boardroom to stateroom dealing with his obsatcles with almost satanic panache. Chock full of great British Talent, inclsuding co-writers Cleese and Chapman, Ronnie Corbett and a sackful of other familiar faces.
And I was pleasantly surprised by FAQs about Time Travel, a contemporary british scifi comedy that was actually quite funny. Three lads get involved in some tricky time travel situations while visiting their local pub and scramble about trying to put things right. Despite it's low budget it's been well shot and has plenty of charm.
