(PREVIOUSLY ON BOGGER BOX OFFICE...)
In exchange for a forgotten memory, Joe-Jack put his very soul on the line in a Ghost Town, However, the film triggered the Rascist Alarm, calling Eamonn to Action, thus nulling the contract. But However the SatanicOstrich let slip a shocking revelation. The figure that looked like Joe-jack that pushed Edwin Tantalus into a shop freezer in 82, was not him! Reeling from this revelation we cut the lunch room of Enlightened Towers
...Maybe 80's lad left us a clue?
-Wotyamean?
-If Edwin Tantalus is an alternate version of our 80's Lad then that means they must share more than just appearance. Maybe 80's Lad is a latent genious.
-Ya mean he's made o'condoms?
-How can anyone mistake the word Latent with latex...It means he must have known that someday this will happen. and no doubt left something that will get him back.
(Searching the room, they find his diary un-written for 31 years. On christmas 2012 the note Sick of 21 Century, might do something i regret. on march of last year, the message EAMONN, IF ALL ELSE FAILS, USE THE POWER ON THIS With today's film taped on the page.)
AND NOW OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION!
This weeks theme: Magic Bus by the Who

We here as Internet reviewers are in the business of Nostalgia, While personal taste is an x-factor the real Litmus Test for nostalgia is Age and Background. As i said before we didn't have Dragonball in Ireland but The U.K. with Sky did. At that time, You had shows that were only on Sky and shows that were only on Terrestial. Hell i was content as a child to get the welsh stations really clear until the Mount Leinster station switched to digital.
Ah Irish and British 90's childrens tv eh, I'm sure I'm bringing back memories of Zig and Zig and Dustin the Turkey on the Den, Dara o'Briann With Hair! Blue Peter, the return of How and Knightmare, A pre-Disney takeover of Art Attack. Citv without annoying presenters, Live and Kicking, Beast wars and Beast Machines on a fledgling Tv3.
One programing block for children that you didn't want to watch was Channel 4's block of 20+ year old cartoons sold cheap by BBC. Including the original cartoons of todays film.
The Magic Roundabout is a French Stop-Motion series from the sixties. The Plot to this series? ASK ME ARSE! Because no-one knows if they're was a plot or if any of the episodes has any arc or device to them. In other words. every ep was Bat-shit Crazy! and thus was deemed a pre-school program. Suffice to say that because of it's lunacy it had a cult following with stoners!
Before i start I'm Reviewing The English Dub and not the far worse American Dub.
So the film begins rather excitedly for a kiddies film as Zebedee (the Voice of Sir Ian Mckellen) is chased by a simaler springed creature, whose touch can freeze things. It pushes Zebedee of a cliff, but it's all a dream, He exclaims it's Name, Zeebad
Zeebad.
It's a kids film i know but bit on the nose on terms with the name i think.
So the Opening shows us the village that the Magic Roundabout surrounds. I always thought that the Roundabout sent the children to Dougal's world and not sharing a shared existance. But be that as it may, we are Introduced to our Heroes, Sugar Dependent dog Dougal (voiced by Robbie Williams), Voice of reason, Florence (Voice of Kylie Minogue), Cultured Cow(no not an insult, she really is a cow!) Ermintrude(Joanna Lumley) and Hippy Rabbit Dylan(Bill Nighy)
Ermintrude is hosting an operetta as lovestruck snail Brian (Jim"The-English-Guy-whose-In-Everything"Broadbent) Looks on. As 'Trude sings badly, Dyan starts to play You Really got me going by the Kinks. Distracted no-one sees that Dougal has left to upturn a sweet truck. Remember I said that this show has a following towards drug Culture? Well Dougal is addicted to some White Powder, man!:Sugar!
While trying to steal all the sweets, Dougal goes on a joyride that crashes into the roundabout freeing Zeebad(voice of Tom Baker)and a toy soldier and Freezing the children inside. So the animals summon Zebedee who wants to plunge the world into Nuclear Winter. Zeebad gives life to the toy soldier called Sam (the voice of Ray Winston), a stereotypical Niven-esque, Queen and Country, Old boy-type charector, played for laughs, he sends sam on a mission to collect 3 magical diamonds, Diamonds our heroes need to break the spell. To that end, Zebedee gives Dylan a map, A box of Tricks and a Train. (voiced by Lee Evans)
A Train,and not a magic Bus! Think about it though, Dougal can ride for sixpence each day, just to get to his favourite babe!
Part 2 the first week of March!

Eamonn Reviews Ghost town part 2
(PREVIOUSLY ON BOGGER BOX OFFICE...
Convinced of owning Joe-Jack's soul, SatanicOstrich gave Joe-jack the chance for redemption. By reviewing Ricky Gervais' Ghost town, A romantic comedy with all the warmth and tenderness of a sledge-hammer to the love spuds! After reviewing a scene with an I.R.A Ghost, the Racist Alarm Made Eamonn become the writer for the remainder of this storyline.
So we meet Richard the Lawyer (Billy Campbell), the new man in Gwen's life. As expected the new man seems to be perfect in every way, Making Frankie bitch and moan. It's become apparent that when Frankie said "mind" his wife he meant "control".
So Richard is in fact a humanitarian Lawyer, who tries to recruit Pincus to go to Peru to give free dental care. Pincus being a rich asshole,flinches at the word "free". Gwen Mentions she needs to walk her puppy, which turns out to be a Great Dane.
Now where did I see that before?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQD_lWIUGN0
Oh and in case i had to tell you,Only fools was funnier when they did it!
In a bar, Frankie is making rude gestures Over shoulder so Pincus tricks her into spilling some home truths about Frankie. She also reveals she knew about the affair he had before he died. Pincus reveals his disqualification from the human race for shoving is because of a broken heart.
Pincus feels that frankie is little more than jealous of Richard. To complicate things, Pincus is in love with Gwen. After finding out that Frankie is longer speaking to Pincus at a one-to-one basis, Every undead asshole starts bothering Pincus.
Turns out none of them died with Blackberry in their pockets. Richard arrives at Pincus' surgery. he tells him that he and Gwen had split up and she is going to Cairo. Frankie is delighted but wonders why he hasn't passed on.
Maybe it's because you are a jealous prick who didn't want your wife to move on with her own life that you purpoursely hook up the only man who can see or hear you up with your widow? DO YOU THINK THAT MIGHT BE THE REASON?
So Pncus give a present but when he calls her a pet-name Frankie use to call her, she gets suspicious. Pincus confesses and naturally Gwen does not believe him and resolves that he knew Frankie when he was alive. But Gwen gives Pincus the benefit of a doubt and asks Pincus to ask frankie a question only he knew. In case i haven't mentioned it Everyone who is dead is either an idiot or an asshole, Frankie gives Pincus the wrong answer,and makes gwen angry. Pincus asks why he did that. Frankie says he wont have his wife be with a selfish asshole, she was just married to one! Harsh.
So trying to het his colleague to write him a prescription to end it all, Bhaljeet finally calls out on Pincus' Prickish behaviour. So 1 by 1, Pincus helps every ghost pass on.
So lets end our suffering!
Gwen is convinced of Pincus' otherworldy powers before he is killed by a bus-despite standing all scene on a fucking PAVEMENT!, Richard revives him, Frankie crosses over and Pincus is no longer an asshole and considers the newly re-brotroed Gwen and Richard to be his closest friends.
THIS FILM SUCKS!
How could the critics for the Mail and Sun get it so wrong? While this is a concept that would work well with any other actor, they had to pick Gervais, Who Charector is Sexist, racist and not shy of questionable behaviour. Kinnear Charector of the heavy-drinking, adulterous Play-boy who wants to spend his after-life continuing to control his wife is no better. The premise's weight cracks into a huge plot-hole, Frankie's BlackBerry. We are told early that the dead appear in the clothes they died in and by proxy whatever was in their pockets at the time can be pulled out. While it was really product placement, Frankie mention that his blackberry had 4 BARS! Why he couldn't have went to voicemail with his apoligees, I will never know. Positives: Tea Leoni was magnetic in every scene emotional scene, But i don't think comedy is her strong point. and it was refreshing to see that the other man in a rom-com not a paper-thin villian.
Of course thanks to me being scarred by Leap Year, this film gets BBO'S First ever Rascist Alarm AUTOMATIC FAIL!
