Stars: Hi Profile, Arvin Silk Stevens

Director: Mark Clayborne

Summary: When a young talented hip-hop artist signs for what he thinks is major label he believes he's finally made it. However, the label is really a cover for a major city drug dealing ring. When he realises and tries to break the contract the company's managing director 'Dice' has him silenced - for good. However, as media and police interest grows around the young fallen innocent, Dice starts to feel the walls closing in on his self styled American dream.

The ongoing street war between drug cartels and law officials continues when a naive rap artists signs to a record label that doubles as a drug cartel. When the young hip hopper finally realizes what he's gotten mixed up in, he tries signing with a rival label. Dice, the boss of the underworld cartel, has the aspiring artist killed. Now it is up to the law to bring peace to the streets and justice to the young man's family.

Sacha Baron-Cohen's Ali G has become a hero to the very people he set out to satirise but, as Bling Blingdemonstrates, this is no time to put this creation out to grass; as long as there's a Christmas every year, collections like this will keep appearing.

Bling Blingis an assortment of Ali G's interviews; a couple of them with possibly the last people in Britain who didn't realise that someone was pulling their leg and several with American grandees of various sorts, including economist JK Galbraith and former CIA director Admiral Stansfield Turner. The real selling point, however, is Ali G's undeniably spectacular Comic Relief interview with David and Victoria Beckham, which, incidentally, presented the pair in a far more favourable light than any amount of avuncular fawning by Michael Parkinson. Bling Blingalso includes quite a lot of Baron-Cohen's other alter-ego, hapless Kazakh! reporter Borat. Though Borat is a lazy and disappointing retreat to a time when British comedy was grounded in a belief that all foreigners are inherently hilarious--he's basically Manuel from "Fawlty Towers" with a microphone--he deserves kudos for the interview with an insufferable English undergraduate comedy troupe, in which he manages to get invited to slap two of them, and does so with the force they deserve.

On the DVD:The scene selector or, rather, "Scene Selecta" is straightforward enough. The only "extras" are some more Ali G interviews, and a trailer for the forthcoming Ali G film. --Andrew Mueller
