Review: The Invention of Lying
The concept of a alternate universe where people can't lie is funny at first, but it runs out of steam pretty quickly as in the end the film is just a queue of celebrity cameos insulting each other for nearly 2 hours as you really don't care whether Gervais who specialises in pretty unlikeable characters ends up with Jennifer Garner, who is even more unlikeable till she realises right at the end that fat people are sort of okay really.

Review: Bunny & The Bull
At times you can't help wonder why Boosh director Paul King didn't cast the slightly more famous long haired and grumpy northerner comedy duo in the lead roles if the characters were going to be so similar in the end.
But for those pining for more Boosh goodness fear not, as all the regulars all appear in cameos at regualr intervals which steal the show each time around.
The film itself is a visual delight throughout, with the hand-made quality making it that much more endearing - King was obvious influenced by early Gilliam, but maybe Terry himself needs to look at this to realise how Doctor Parnassus would have benefited from cutting back on the CGI for a more low budget ethos.
