Advantages: Clint at his best
Disadvantages: If you are an avid Eastwood fan like me.......NONE

...price. I have always liked Clint Eastwood so I bought the box set,and it really is one of the best box sets I have ever purchased Clint Eastwood at his very very best in Where Eagles Dare, a favourite film of mind which I can never tire of watching The other films on this DVD set are also good ones, though some are little heard of, but having said that, Clint Eastwood is in my opinion at his best in all five. So if you are looking for a good clutch ... Read review

Advantages: Great all round movie.
Disadvantages: A lot of violence

Apocalypto is the story of a happy Indian youth ripped savagely from his rainforest life by ruthless, bloodthirsty Mayan warriors. Its portrayal of the Mayan culture -- including its strange dress, hair styles, costumes, tattoos, body piercing, and decorative scars, as well as its industry, class system, cities, warfare, weapons, myth, and religion -- provide a bizarre and fascinating backdrop for what is, at its heart, a solid, thrilling, fast paced ...
...The movie does have a lot of violence, which although not for the faint hearted, is a realistic part of the culture being described. The whole movie is in an ancient native language, subtitled in English, and it lends an air of authenticity to the movie that I feel would have been missing otherwise. The acting is superb and the direction is without a doubt Mel Gibson's finest work. All in all a highly recommended movie. ... Read review

Advantages: Matt Damon's performance
Disadvantages: n/a

...list of favourite actors until The Bourne series. It's a cliché I know but Matt Damon was born to play Jason Bourne. I think that no film he's been in before or since has fitted him quite as well. For me, Matt Damon delivers his best performance yet in The Bourne Ultimatum. If you are a fan of the first two Bourne movies, you will not be disappointed by The Bourne Ultimatum. For those who have seen the first two installments this installment fits ... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Most of the film, acting, story

...widescreen presentation 2.1 surround sound 100 million years back in time Dino Evolution Blooper reel Deleted scenes I have not wasted any more time in watching these as the film was such a let down. The film has a certificate of 15 which is probably about right as there are some scenes of men being killed and eaten by very unrealistic dinosaurs. Thankfully we only paid £2.97 for our copy of this film which I am pleased about as if I would ... Read review

Advantages: Great character make up
Disadvantages: it had to end somewhere

...great story. i remember reading the book as a kid many years ago. Back then it was adventure to imagine that you could go to a secret land in the back of an old wardrobe. The book kept me on the edge of my seat and stayed with me as one of the best books i have read for years..... so as you can imagine for me the film had to be the business. As i remember there was a cartoon film of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe years ago. That film was well ...
...have seen it while reading the book, and it worked. There was then as i recall a series called the chronicles of Narnia. I did'nt take to that too well. Firstley as it was something that i would have to wait till the following week to see, which would demand it to add unnecesarry extras, and secondly it tied all the books in to one rather than each of them being left as separate items. So here i was ready to watch The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion ... Read review
