Win Holy Flying Circus on DVD

In 1979, Monty Python’s Life Of Brian became one of the most controversial films ever to be released in British cinemas, causing outrage amongst religious groups, members of the public and politicians, most of whom hadn’t even seen the film. Accusing it of being blasphemous, many called for the film to be banned. Now, the brand-new, critically acclaimed comedy-drama Holy Flying Circus revisits that period and delivers a witty, entertaining and affectionate homage to the Pythons and the film that, today, has become accepted as one of the greatest comedy movies of all time.


Holy Flying Circus will be released on DVD by FremantleMedia Enterprises on 6th February 2012 and to celebrate, we have two copies to give away to our readers. Check out the synopsis, and read on for details of how to enter this competition...

Written by Oscar and BAFTA Award nominee Tony Roche (The Thick of It; In the Loop), directed by Owen Harris (Misfits; Secret Diary of a Call Girl) and starring Charles Edwards (Waking the Dead; Mistresses; Batman Begins) as Michael Palin, Darren Boyd (Spy; Whites; Personal Affairs) as John Cleese, Steve Punt (Horrible Histories; Me, You and Him) as Eric Idle, Rufus Jones (Thank God You’re Here; Secret Smile) as Terry Jones, Tom Fisher (The Young Victoria; The Illusionist; Van Helsing) as Graham Chapman and Phil Nichol (Annually Retentive; Broken News) as Terry Gilliam, Holy Flying Circus is a joyfully surreal comedy that perfectly captures the Python spirit and features remarkable performances from its excellent cast.

As the controversy surrounding the cinema release of Life Of Brian raged around them, the Pythons found themselves not only fighting a war against censorship but also at the centre of a debate about what is an acceptable subject matter for comedy. In an attempt to put their side of the argument to the public and to defend the film against the charges of blasphemy, Michael Palin and John Cleese agreed to take part in a live debate on a Tim Rice-hosted edition of the television chat show, Friday Night, Saturday Morning. Arguing the case against the Pythons were two prominent society figures of the time, journalist and author Malcolm Muggeridge and Mervyn Stockwood, the then Bishop of Southwark. What transpired that night has become the stuff of TV legend and was famously regarded by author Douglas Adams (The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy) as his “favourite bit of television”.

Holy Flying Circus presents a fantastical, Pythonesque re-imagining of the events leading up to and including the riveting TV debate and the eventual release of Life Of Brian in British cinemas. A brilliant and very funny work on its own merits, it is a must-see for Monty Python fans and all those with an interest in the vagaries of comedy...

To be in with a chance of winning, all you need to do is make sure you like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter, then send a quick email with your contact details (be sure to include your postal address and Facebook or Twitter username), the subject heading "PYTHON" and an answer to the following question...

What is the name of Biggus Dickus' wife...?

Win a Perfect Sense DVD and poster signed by Ewan McGregor - NOW CLOSED

OK, it's January and it's all a bit dismal but at the end of this month Perfect Sense is released on DVD. If Ewan McGregor and Eva Green can manage to find love as the world is crashing down around them then we can certainly get through January.

This apocalyptic sci-fi fable has been hailed as “thrillingly ambitious, ecstatically romantic and utterly unexpected” (Time Out), and as “a touching, emotionally resonant and beautifully executed spin on humanity’s final moments that will hit you in the head and heart” (SFX Magazine).

The DVD is released on January 30th and to celebrate we have a cinema poster signed by Ewan McGregor plus a copy of Perfect Sense on DVD to give away to one lucky reader. Take a look at the synopsis, and read on for details of how to enter the competition...


Directed by David Mackenzie (Spread, Young Adam, Hallam Foe) and written by Kim Fupz Aakeson (To Love Someone, Pure Hearts), Perfect Sense stars Ewan McGregor (Moulin Rouge!, Big Fish, Beginners), Eva Green (Casino Royale, The Golden Compass, Dark Shadows), Connie Nielsen (Gladiator, One Hour Photo, The Ice Harvest) and Ewen Bremner (Trainspotting, Snatch, Page Eight) and Stephen Dillane (King Arthur, 44 Inch Chest, The Hours) in a taut and moving love story.

McGregor stars as Michael, the head chef at a swanky Glasgow restaurant, and Eva Green stars as Susan, an aloof epidemiologist who catches his eye and is hearing reports across the world of people inexplicably losing their senses. They embark on a sensual adventure that sees them experiencing new and unforeseen depths of feeling and moments of pure connection. But is this because they are falling in love or is it because the world as they know it is beginning to fall apart?

We've had a few exclusive Twitter competitions lately, so this time we're offering the prize to one of our Facebook friends...

So, to be in with a shout of nabbing the DVD and signed poster, make sure you like us on Facebook (if you haven't already), and then drop us an email with the subject heading "PERFECT", your name and contact details (make sure to include your Facebook name), along with an answer to the following question...

Which of the following does not see Ewan McGregor co-starring with Ewen Bremner..?

A) Trainspotting
B) Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
C) Black Hawk Down

Win Kevin Smith: Too Fat for 40 on DVD - NOW CLOSED

Following the huge success of fan favourites An Evening With Kevin Smith and An Evening With Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder, the acclaimed filmmaker, writer, actor and raconteur responsible for such diverse movies as Red State, Cop Out, Zack And Miri Make A Porno and Clerks II releases his first new stand-up DVD in five years in the form of Too Fat For 40. Filmed on the evening of Kevin Smith’s 40th birthday before a crowd of rabid fans at the Count Basie Theatre in his home town of Red Bank, New Jersey, this comedy special comes to DVD on 23rd January 2012 (coinciding with the release of Red State on DVD and Blu-ray) as a two-disc edition featuring the full, uncut and unexpurgated three-and-a-half-hour version of Smith’s performance and including a Bonus DVD loaded with extra features including additional encore Q&A footage and a look behind the scenes.

Taking its title from the much-publicized brouhaha (which is hilariously discussed at length during the show) in which Southwest Airlines declared Smith “too fat to fly”, Too Fat for 40 puts the spotlight firmly on Kevin Smith’s brilliantly self-deprecating humour as he pokes fun at his everyday life through anecdotes and yarns all prompted by a one-question audience Q&A.

Absolutely nothing is off limits as Smith discusses very personal and very funny aspects of his private and public life including sex, the problems of being overweight, working with his hero, the late George Carlin, getting stoned with Seth Rogen, being arrested by the Canadian border guards for smuggling, being suspected by the LAPD of child kidnapping and the difficulties of working with a Hollywood superstar of Bruce Willis’ stature – a situation exacerbated by the fact that the Hollywood superstar in question suspects you don’t really know what you are doing. And, naturally, this being Kevin Smith, fellow actor-director and good friend Ben Affleck frequently finds himself in the firing line of Smith’s comedy pot shots.

To be in with a chance of winning, all you need to do is make sure you like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter, then send a quick email with your contact details (be sure to include your postal address and Facebook or Twitter username in the email), the subject heading "KEVIN SMITH" and an answer to the following question...
