Advantages: Some funny moments Disadvantages: Not upto scratch on film or DVD extras
...This is inferior to the first film in almost every way. It is not totally disappointing, but after the highly amusing first instalment, one cannot help but feel a little let down by this. The cast seem less fresh in this sequel, almost reluctant to be party to this film, in fact. The star is probably Oscar, a baby with a highly impressive range of facial expressions. At least they did not tarnish the legacy of the original any further by making a third. Still some humorous moments, though. As far as the DVD is concerned, both audio and visual are stunning but the disc's special features are light years behind what was done with the Ghostbusters DVD....

Advantages: The dvd is amazing, as is the film Disadvantages: none really
...The Matix is a film of genious. The special effects tht are used in it are pioneering and simulate the Japenese manga animation where the camera spins around a subject while the subject is held in mid-movement. The process is called bullet-time photography, and is amazing.
The DVD itself is one of the best on the maket after The Sixth Sense. There are a series of very impressive interviews explaining the best parts of the film and how bullet-time is done.
This film is especialy good on DVD because of its colouring - white dark, bluey and very crisp which is a colouring that DVD thrives on.
Episodes 2 & 3 of the Matrix are already up for filming back to back and the first will hopefuly be released in the summer of 2001.
A must you have to watch it...

Advantages: Good value, Excellent footage, Backstage Clips Disadvantages: No interviews, Not enough tracks on the CD
...Linkin Park Live In Texas. I bought this DVD/CD yesterday after listening to LP, to see if they were as good live as they were recorded...They did not dissapoint me!
The DVD/CD contains all their best tracks from a trilogy of great albums. The DVD open with a thumping rendition of 'Don't Stay' followed by other classics such as 'Papercut' 'With You' and most spectacularly of all 'One step closer'.
The DVD also impressively contains cut scenes inbetween tracks of what the band get upto backstage, which for the more hardcore LP fans is a real treat.
Footage in general is superb due to the variety of camera angles used from the 'Rob Bourden's close up drum cam' to the action shots of Chesters spine tingling roars.
One drawback i noticed is the lack of tracks used on the CD - compared to the amount of tracks used on the DVD. It did...
