WHS Online Book Store, UK: Shopping At WHS for Books and Music Is So Easy! - Bhaji On The Beach - (DVD) A day trip to Blackpool to see the lights a harmless break from the routine for a mini-bus full of women from the Asian Women's Centre. It all seems innocent enough but as the mini-bus trundles along to a Punjabi rendition of Cliff Richard's Summer Holiday problems quickly become apparent. Ginder is fleeing her violent husband with her 5 year old son. Hashida is eighteen about to start medical school and has just discovered that she is pregnant by her black Boyfriend. Teenage sisters Madhu and Ladhu with no parent in sight are on the rampage for a man or perhaps a boy!... ... CHARLIES ANGELS (DVD) Big screen version of the cult TV series casts Cameron Diaz Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore as the trio of high-kicking private eyes working for the mysterious Charlie. Energetic frothy fun which delivers in spades. Let's be honest Charlie's Angels the movies should have been absolutely dreadful. Spin-offs from fondly remembered television shows (which were never up to much anyway) have rarely been successful (The Saint The Avengers need I continue..?) but surprisingly the film succeeds thanks to its infectious energy and the film - which thankfully never takes itself remotely seriously - ends up being vastly entertaining. Part of this comes down to director McG's (that's Joseph McGinty Nicol to you) visual flair which keeps the film moving at all times but mostly down to the cast. Not just the angels themselves although Diaz Liu and Barrymore have more than enough combined charm and sex-appeal to keep things afloat but the supporting cast seem to be having a lot of fun too (although rumours that Bill Murray was not doesn't effect his customarily deadpan performance). Sam Rockwell is fine as the kidnapped computer millionaire and Kelly Lynch is good as his partner while Matt LeBlanc Luke Wilson and Tom Green are all likeable enough foils for the girls but none can quite top Crispin Glover as the sublimely unpleasant bad-guy known only as "The Creepy Thin Guy". The plot is pretty daft - and is peppered with plot holes which should keep the pedants happy but it's not important at all. Were the film to make sense it would loose a lot of its considerable charm. On a final note doesn't Drew Barrymore in drag look frighteningly like James Spader?

In fact the ship and its crew have been miniaturised and trapped inside a microscope - a banned entertainment peepshow - on the planet Inter Minor.
