Brass Eye (1997–2001)
10/10
Contains everything you want in a satire.
3 March 2008
1. Humour. 2. Truth about how the media react. 3. Chris Morris.

Since Morris's somewhat self afflicted decline into a downplay state of commonplace the likes of 'Brass Eye' and 'The Day Today' are fond memories, immortalised though thankfully by DVD release.

Rumours of his soon to be made one off special on terrorism is gleefully looked forward to.

If you like surrealism and the edge of 'Wow, did he really just do/say that' then this is a series for you.

Further viewing for dadaism comedy I suggest 'Jam'. And to go really into the mind set of C.M. then 'Blue Jam' which you have to bear through the uncomfortable moments to reap the rewards.

10/10

Animal Farm (1954)
10/10
"Orwells here now!" - Hackers
9 May 2005
Not many translations from words into visualisations are good ones. But G.Orwells short story show's us the faults behind Communism and hatred held within a Dictatorship. The underlying principle placed by Orwell in the book and of course the films is that the real motto for communism is

"Every one is equal!.....But we're better"

I strongly recommend this film to those who enjoy the political stimulation that films offer and that this film is still incredibly moving even today.

I give it 10/10
