1PW Wrestling - A Cruel Twist Of Fate DVD

Advantages: Great script, brilliant lead and support acting, excellent plot twist
Disadvantages: A little long, though it flies by

...The Shawshank Redemption is a horistic prison film, which is one of the things that originally deterred me from seeing it. The plot of "surviving inside" has been done so many times, I didn't feel the need to see it again. However, friend after friend remarked how superb the film was to me, until I relented and I'm so glad I did - Shawshank is a Masterpiece. At heart, it is a typical prison story about a professional man wrongly imprisoned and having to learn to live in a harsh, cruel environment. Even if the film were this simple it would be a success, as Tim Robins and Morgan Freeman (amongst others) play their roles magnificently and make you empathise with the fate of the condemned. However, just as the film seems to be coming to a nice conclusion, the plot twists - and does so brilliantly. It would be unfair to spoil the film... Read review

Advantages: Excellent watch, full of stars
Disadvantages: Mainly for teens

...Cruel Intention has everything that you would think of a remake with a teen twist. The people that star in this film are Sarah Michelle Gellar (TV's Buffy The Vampire Slayer), Ryan Phillippe (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Reese Witherspoon (Pleasentville) and Selma Blair (TV's Zoe). This film is suitable for mainly teenagers, but it can be suitable for people in their 20's and 30's. I enjoyed this film, esspecially the DVD version with its extra features that are not available on the video. The extra features that you get include a commentary by the director and the producer of the film, there is also a featurette which shows behind the scenes footage. Also there are music videos of the songs that feature in the film, but the best bit is the five deleted scenes that were cut out and are on the DVD so you can see what was missed... Read review

...Cyberslam 96 is probably remembered by many as the event where Brian Pillman debuted and proceeded to almost cause a riot whilst uttering every profanty in the book. That's a bit unfair because as exciting as that was Cyberslam had several great matches on offer. A tremendous 30 minute match between Sabu & 2 Cold Scorpio is probably the highlight, featuring a fine mix of brawling, broken tables & technical wrestling. Raven & Sandman tussle yet again in there trademark bloody brawl and Mick Foley's alter ego Cactus Jack faces off against "The Franchise" Shane Douglas in a bout with a shocking twist at the end. There are a few meaningless matches on the undercard but they zoom by quickly enough so as not to cause offence. The only real problem on the DVD is the entrance themes being dubbed over by generic music due to a licensing... Read review
