Nina's Heavenly Delights, a review by Tom




Title: Nina's Heavenly Delights
Year: 2006
Director: Pratibha Parmar
Rating: PG
Length: 91 Min.
Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.78
Audio: English: Dolby Digital Stereo
Subtitles:

Stars:
Laura Fraser
Shelley Conn
Art Malik
Ronny Jhutti
Veena Sood

Plot:
Nina Shah (Shelley Conn) is a feisty, young Indo-Scottish woman with an identity crisis who left home under a cloud after a row with her father. When her father dies suddenly, Nina is forced to return and run the family owned Curry House. This reunites her with her childhood friend Bobbi (Ronny Jhutti), a Bollywood drag queen and brings her face to face with Lisa (Fraser), a charismatic young woman to whom Nina's father sold 50 percent of the restaurant. Nina embarks on a personal mission to win the 'Best of the West' curry competition, a highly coveted prize in the world of Indian cuisine. But Nina's feelings are thrown into turmoil when she realises that she is falling in love, with Lisa. Can she win both prizes?

Preceptively scripted by Andrea Gibb (Dear Frankie) and featuring outstanding performances from Conn (Charlie and the Chocolate Family) and Fraser (Titus), Nina's Heavenly Delights is a vibrant and original work.

Extras:
Scene Access
Trailers

My Thoughts:
An enjoyable movie. The romance between the two girls is developed nicely. Would I find a little unbelievable is Nina's mother sudden acceptence of this relationship, when it was made clear throughout the movie, that Nina's family is very conservative.

Tom's TV Pilots marathon, a review by Tom


     MADtv: Season One (1995/United States)
IMDb | Wikipedia

Warner Home Video (United States)
Length:806 min.
Video:Full Frame 1.33:1
Audio:English: Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround
Subtitles:English, French, Spanish


Plot:
Relive the MADness of the first complete season of 'MADtv', dubbed by TV Guide as "the most mercilessly acute TV parody of the decade, perhaps of all time." It's wall-to-wall pop culture sendups in 19 trailblazing hours plus hilariously MAD-to-the-bone Special Bonus Features.

You'll find brilliant movie parodies, irreverent Madvertising spoofs and political smackdowns. Plus favorites like the Vancome Lady; UBS Guy; 'That's My White Mama'; the animated 'Spy Vs. Spy', Don Martin classics and 'Raging Rudolph'; and TV sendups of 'ER', 'Baywatch', 'Oprah' and 'Star Trek'. No wonder USA Today stated "No show is better than 'MADtv' at mocking TV."


MADtv
1.01 Season One

When I first saw this, I only knew three of the main cast: Orlando Jones, Phil LaMarr (mainly as voice actor, but also his role in Pulp Fiction which he reprises in this episode in a parody sequence) and Nicole Sullivan. It's her which I think brought in the best performances in this episode. And also the only laughs I had.
