to the most action-packed motorcycle event in the World - the Isle Of Man TT Races. 1987 saw TT celebrate its 80th anniversary. And in Action Man you can vividly see how, 80 years on, the TT has lost none of the magic for which it has always enjoyed worldwide renown. 50,000 race fans came from all over the world in 1987 to enjoy the ultimate pilgrimage and millions more wished they could be there. Six of the best cameramen in the business will take you to over 100 different locations around the 37.73 mile Mountain Course during seven different races. Plus they will take you to over 100 more to enthrall and interest you between races! Study the 140mph racing form in slo-mo at Ballacrye (where our cover shot of 'King Of The Roads' Joey Dunlop was taken) or check out the more sedate performance of a rare 1950 Manx Norton in the Classic parade; step back on the pavement as Geoff Johnson flies past (literally!) six feet away as he exits Bray Hill, or duck as the Red Arrows burst over Peel Castle in another stunning aerobatics display; catch your breath as the late Phil Mellor takes Handleys Corner in a two-wheel drift at 100+ or cover your ears as Douglas Bay reverberates to a magnificent late-night firework display.

Advantages: hilarious, Atkinson is a comedy genius Disadvantages: only 3 episodes, expensive way to get the whole set
Having only made 13 episodes you would think it would be easy enough to release the wholebox set as a complete and more cost effective production. But no, because we are english, we are 'rich' and can afford to splash out on the indivual DVD's, and of course we can wait whilst each is brought out at two month intervals. However if you live in america you get one whole box set, straight away, and before we even get our measly volume one with only 3 episodes on it. Arrgh. Appologies for the rant, but it's a good introduction as to why I have had to review one volume at a time. I do hope you enjoy reading about it.
As I'm sure the name Mr Bean will ring bells striaght away. He's the clumsy whimsical character which delighted so many with his mishaps in the 90's. I had to buy this as soon as I knew it was released. I love Mr Bean ...
Advantages: Really funny, feel-good film Disadvantages: None that i can think of..!
I recently purchased this DVD after one of my friend's made me watch her copy, because I loved it so much!
The plot is based on Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night, but is a more modern version with slight changes, obviously! The main character Viola (Amanda Bynes) is desperate to prove she is a good football player after being told she cannot join her school team because she is female. She plots to disguise herself as her twin brother Sebastian and take his place at his new school (whilst he is away with his band) to prove her football skills. She manages to convince everyone she is male (albeit a slightly odd one) - even popular girl Olivia gets a crush on her/him. Viola, however, has fallen for her roommate Duke (Channing Tatum :P ), who has been helping her with her football, but she cannot reveal this due to her disguise. All in all ...
Advantages: Excellent acting, powerful story Disadvantages: Dated now
On my latest shopping trip and the usual walk past the bargain DVD?s I happened to spot this one and wondered to myself my I had never seen it before as it stars two actors which I really do like.
At the start of the film we meet Charles Babbitt, played by Tom Cruise who owns a business and is in desperate need of money to save this business. He is off on a business trip with his girlfriend when he gets news that his father has died. Charles is not sad by this as he hadn?t spoken to his father since he was 16. Charles does attend the funeral as he needs to find out what is going to happen to all his father money and property as he really could do with this money.
Charles soon discovers that he has only bee left the car and the money and property have been given to a trustee. With some research Charles is lead to a hospital where he ...
