3 Classic Comedies Of The Silver Screen - Vol. 2 - Jack And The Beanstalk / Utopia / Spooks Run Wild DVD

Advantages: Great Classic story with a twist, and magnificent ending.
Disadvantages: 3 hours 20 minutes- a bit long

...aspect of 1.33:1 together with the Dolby Digital 5.1 sound mix but there is also the 2.0 surround sound option which I prefer but the Dolby Digital makes great use of all the channels. With extra behind the scene footage and features including things like documentaries and creature manipulations and much more, this DVD just couldn't get any better. One thing I particularly liked about this film was the soundtrack. The film music was exceptional and has won a few awards for being one of the best film music ever to be made. In my opinion Rupert Gregson Williams created an amazingly enchanting soundtrack to this film with the elegant sounding harp and all the other magical melodies which portrayed the movement and action on the screen perfectly. The running time for this film is approximately 3 hours and 20 minutes which you... Read review

Advantages: The best series ending of all time
Disadvantages: The arrival of more long term stories

...And now its time to wrap up series 3 of Doctor Who’s reviews; and impressed as I was with the third volume of releases this forth volume blew me away. For the first time in the series the 3 stories actually run very much as if they are all one, in stead of the usual two parter’s Utopia, The Sound Of Drums, and The Last Of The Timelords become a three part “Epic”.

The first of many revelations... Read review

Advantages: Excellent pace, acting, directing, music. Will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Disadvantages: A couple of cheesy alien side-kicks, and a slightly unbelievable future.

...of Utopia. Captain Jack (a favorite character from the end of season 1 and now stars in the spin-off show 'Torchwood') tracks down and rejoins the doctor when he lands the Tardis in Cardiff to refuel. They accidentally wind up in the year 100 trillion and find a professor trying to build a spaceship to take the remains of the human race to a place called Utopia. All is not as it seems though when Martha discovers a fob watch identical to the John Smiths timepiece in earlier episode 'Human Nature' which contained the Doctor's Timelord essence. As the true meaning of this fob watch is revealed, one of the doctors greatest and most menacing enemies reappears. In the next 2 episodes our heroes race back to present day London, to stop their foe before it is too late, and we finally learn who the shady 'Mr Saxon' really is. 3 episodes that easily...
