Africa Screams DVD

Advantages: Easy viewing, don't have to think.
Disadvantages: Familiar storylines and characters.

...I have seen all three "Screams" and have even got the first two on DVD, and will probably buy the third for prosterity. However, the trilogy did not live up to all that it promised, advertisements for the third film stated that it would be scarier and harder to believe than the first two. Hard to believe could be right, the plot twists were ridiculous. It must be said that the first "Scream" abounded in originality with parodies of previous horror flicks. The scenes were tense and the storyline tight. "Scream II" lost this slightly, with a weaker plot and relying too heavily on the sequel aspect. With this in mind, it is easy to understand where "Scream III" fell down. It was almost a case of rebuilding old storylines with new faces. After saying all that, it must be said that "Scream III" is an easy watch with plenty of giggles... Read review

Advantages: Great night in
Disadvantages: If you haven't seen it in the pictures you won't get the full pleassure of this film!

...Scream 3 is the last chapter in the Scream trilogy, and it is as good if not better than Scream and Scream 2! Scream 3 still stars the three big ones from the first two: Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox Arquette, a few people from the other 2 films pop up as well. On the Scream 3 DVD you get many extras unlike Scream and Scream 2, you get: *Outtakes from all 3 Scream movies *Behind the scenes montage *Deleted scenes with commentary from Wes Craven and Crew *Alternative ending *Creed music video “What If” *Audio commentary (Wes Craven, Cast and Crew) *Cast and Crew biography *2 theatrical trailers Owners of Scream and Scream 2 on DVD will know this is 1000 times more extras than what was on those; on Scream and Scream 2 you get the following extras: *Ummm, nothing, sorry!

Advantages: good for all the family
Disadvantages: quite a short series (6 episodes)

...This is the first series of the ITV show. PLOT: The series starts off showing a family. Danny, a vet; his daughter Rosie, his wife Sarah, and Sarah's two children Evan and Olivia. The family go on holiday to Africa to release a monkey back into the wild, but end up buying a place out there called Leopards Den to renovate and make into a guest hotel. They have a lot of adventures along the way, such as coming face to face with a white Rhino! A lot of adventure and family fun make this dvd very enjoyable for all the family to watch. CAST: Starring Amanda Holden, Lucy Jo-Hudson & Stephen Tompkinson. The performance from the cast was floorless, and i could never fault it. They put everything into making you believe they were a real family, and the characters we are introduced to in Africa are also well acted, adding a great deal... Read review
