This momentous occasion of Neil Armstrong, shortly followed by Buzz Aldrin, setting foot on the 'Sea of Tranquility' from the lunar module 'Eagle', was broadcast live to a staggering 600 million people around the world.

Advantages: A tense, suspense filled drama Disadvantages: None
As far as space films go, I am not a big fan so it was with some trepidation that I took this one in. After a few minutes, it is clear that this is going to stand head and shoulders above the rest which is due, in large part, to the immense performance of Academy Award Winner Tom Hanks, but also to a tremendous true story of bravery, skill and hope.
A year after the epic moon landing of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, Apollo 13 was scheduled for a moon landing of its own. The original crew of Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks), Fred Haise (Bill Paxton) and Ken Mattingley (Gary Sinise) are just days away from the launch when Mattingley is pulled from the team due to the belief that he may have been exposed to infection.

Advantages: Sam Neil, history. A film which has been filmed very well. No American flag waving! Disadvantages: The concept doesn't grab your attention. Its almost as if you need to find yourself in the cinema before you'll consider watching it.
the Southern Hemisphere and the United States of America isn’t. In the outback town of Parkes in the rural landscape of New South Wales there happens to be (thanks to the effort of the local mayor, we’re told) the largest radio telescope on that side of the planet. When the Apollo11 spacecraft is on the southern side of the planet it’ll be about of reach of all the radio telescopes in the USA and so the Americans did a deal with the Australians and Parkes was brought on board to help track the spaceship. The film picks up with the Australian Prime Minster paying attention to this fact for the first time. What has grabbed his attention is the fact that Parkes’ role has been upgraded and it will now be the telescope responsible for beaming the live TV footage of the Lunar walk to the world.
That’s all I’m ...

Story:
Basically this is the 11th Film in the 'Land Before Time' series. Each movie runs about 70 minutes, however this ones a bonues you get an extra 10 minutes viewing, as it stands as a whopping 80 minutes running time in total. Which just gives you more time to gasp, cry and generally wish you were a dinosaur and that you could help Littlefoot along his way.
The storyline for this dvd is yet another nail biting adventure for Littlefoot, Cera, Spike, Ducky, Petrie and Ali. This time trouble is caused by a small lie which causes huge consequences. Littlefoot learns the value of lies and their potential destruction when the Tinysaruses (little mischeif making dinosaurs) invade the Great Valley in order to teach him a lesson. A thrilling and new adventure is upon them which further proves ...
