Action Man - The Outside Edge (Animated) (DVD)

The Outsiders

Advantages: Fast moving, adventurous
Disadvantages: More plot-driven rather than character-driven, unlike the book in this aspect

and Darry. Darry is a hard worker who gave opportunities of college to provide for his brothers, and is perhaps the stricter influence in Ponyboy's life. Sodapop is more relaxed and laid-back, and someone who provides comfort for Ponyboy, taking a more maternal role in contrast to Darry's more paternal role. The three are part of a gang who are all working-class, with their nickname of the greasers from the oil they use in their hair. The group is challenged by "The Socs" who come from a priveleged background, with the name of the film deriving from the two groups being outsiders to each other. However, as tensions between the two rise, there are life-changing consequences for the boys from both sides. Thoughts: This is an adventure film, with lots of action, and some may find it enjoyable from that point of view. However, I don't feel that ...

Review of The Outsiders DVD

Mr Bean - Live Action DVD

Advantages: hilarious, Atkinson is a comedy genius
Disadvantages: only 3 episodes, expensive way to get the whole set

- Mr Bean attends a village gala and sees Teddy winning a dog competition! 3. Train Station - Don't ask how, but Mr Bean ends up in moscow, in a mail bag. I'll let you see the episode for more... Limited extra features on this dvd and include; The Library- Mr Bean causes havoc at his local Library. and also a tralier and pilot episode for the animated Mr Bean Series. Overall a 5 star rating. Yes I'm a bit miffed I couldn't buy the whole shibang in one go, but I still really like it. Recommened to any Mr Bean fan, I'm sure would make the bestest xmas gift idea. The DVD picture quality is just as good as the original if not slightly sharper, which is great for those of us whose eyes have deterioated. Also good allround family entertainment, sure to go down a treat, especially when the dredful christmas telly comes on & all you have to ...

Review of Mr Bean - Live Action (DVD)

The outsider

Advantages: Surprisingly watchable, David Bowie is beautiful to watch
Disadvantages: Just that sci fi isn't my usual cup of tea

include an interview with David Bowie, although he is very much the topic of conversation. The rest of the features include a couple of trailers and TV adverts for the film, a DVD Rom feature and trailers for other releases - The Wicker Man, Don't Look Now and Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence. I was quite surprised by how much I enjoyed this film. Although it is science fiction, it isn't overly so; in fact I found the science fiction aspect secondary to the 'outsider' angle - Newton is basically a visitor to Earth and will never fit in because he is too different. It feels like a social discussion of the world's inability to accept those who don't conform to a particular pattern, and once the film finished, I felt that I had watched something worthwhile. I think fans of science fiction and/or David Bowie will enjoy it, but it is worth considering ...
