E.M.E.T.I.B (Reverse It)

Advantages: Great show/Great cast
Disadvantages: A few bad seasons/episodes

...Abrams (the creator of Lost), Alias is an American spy-fi television series. It followed the pretty much unknown Jennifer Garner as Sydney Bristow as she dealt with being a CIA agent. It almost immediately shot her to stardom. The Plot Sydney Bristow seems like your normal 20 something, however her life is a lot more complicated than just being a English grad student. Sydney is actually a spy for a cell called SD-6, but later finds out that ...
...working for the very people she's been trying to take down. She becomes a secret agent for the CIA to take down SD-6. The Cast Jennifer Garner plays the double agent Sydney Bristow. She and her father have got a very estranged relationship as his job takes him out of the country for weeks at a time since her mother died. She is shocked to find out that he is also a double agent, and works alongside him to bring down SD-6. She has a on/off ...

Review of Alias - Series 1-5 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

Due South - the complete series

Advantages: All of the fabulous episodes in one set
Disadvantages: Lots of money to shell out in one go

Fans of Due South have had to wait a very long time for the series to be available on DVD, but this is a box set worth waiting for. It contains every single episode from the three seasons of the show. In season one we meet Benton Frasier, a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and a stickler for the rules and appropriate behaviour. Absolutely gorgeous, but apparently unaware of the effect he has on women, Frasier moves to Chicago (with trusty ...
...to help Chicago cop Ray solve his cases. Towards the end of season one we discover that Frasier does understand the meaning of love, and his willing to give his life for it. In season two Ray and Frasier are on the trail of criminals again, and there's hilarious guest appearances from Leslie Nielsen as a long-serving Mountie who worked alongside Benton's father. Season three starts with a mystery - where's Ray and why is someone impersonating him. ...

Review of Sharpe (Special Edition) (Box Set) (DVD)

The Complete James Bond, 'No Mr. Bond, I expect you to buy...'

Advantages: Good collection of films, iconic characters, stylish presentation
Disadvantages: Out-dated in its collection

THE JAMES BOND COMPLETE COLLECTION I brought this a while back and I must say it is excellent. The presentation is top-notch, the silver briefcase just about the coolest DVD container in the world. It chronicles every film from Sean Connery's 'Dr. No' to the more recent Pierce Brosnan outing 'Die Another Day'. Of course it does not hold the newest additions, Daniel Craig's 'Casino Royale' and 'Quantum of Solace' but as these are generally new in ...
...watch, if not always for the story then definitely for the generational features. Think Roger more in his 70s safari suit, Sean Connery in his trilby. And then of course you have the women. The big downside to this box set, of course, is that there's always going to be more James Bond films. It may not be in date for very long. Also the price is fairly steep, yet is falling due to the release of newer additions. Despite this, in my opinion you ...

Review of The James Bond Complete Collection (Box Set) (DVD)

Is that case a killer or is it just a case

Advantages: Wow, more than a smashing case
Disadvantages: I already own some of these films!!

...Pierce Brosnan Like many Bond fans I already owned many of the films included in the case and so had to think twice about upgrading my Special Edition Bond collection to the Ultimate Edition. The age of some of the films meant that some of the DVDs I had were of poor quality the Ultimate edition features newly restored picture and soundtrack on each film and is easily worth the £200+ fee alone. In the titles (paricularly the earlier entries). Colours ...
...daniel craigs attempt to be bond later this year, so another case next year??? I suppose what it comes down to is three questions 1. how much you love bond 2. Is it worth upgrading for the sake of better graphics (taking into account the price) 3. Can I fit the case next to my DVD player!! ...
