Augusta Masters 2005 DVD

Advantages: funny enough, good cast
Disadvantages: a bit tacky in places

...Carry On Girls is often seen as one of the tackiest of the Carry Ons & indeed it is really, with the whole plot being an excuse to show lots of women in bikinis - but it is still a laugh :-) The story is that the town of Furcombe decides to liven up the quiet season, by holding a beauty contest. This brings out two opposing camps - the lecherous men looking forward to an eyeful (led by Sid James & Bernard Bresslaw) & the sullen feminists led by June Whitfield as the stern Augusta Prodworthy. Kenneth Connor plays the aptly named Mayor Bumble & Patsy Rowlands is delightful as his wife, Mildred. Although some of the film is annoyingly silly, especially the cat fight between Barbara Windsor & Margaret Nolan, it is still enjoyable.... Read review

Advantages: none realy apart from wasting time
Disadvantages: just about all of it

...I don't think that this is even worth righting a review about but because it was so lame i thought i better to save people buying it. Piping Live Masters is a piping dvd about piping an event in 2005 with Four master pipers recorded in competition at Glasgow's Piping Centre, during the 2005 Piping Live Festival.

It is quite lame and it is an absolute waste of money the tunes that they play are very basic it is quite dull and a lot of it is out of focus and the one thing you would expect to be good on a piping dvd is the sound quality but to say the truth it is not very good at all. There are much better piping bands out there than this one and nowadays piping is regarded as one of those things that has become out of date I wouldn't recommend this to any one unless you where a a very...

Advantages: Being scared sh*tless.
Disadvantages: Disturbing scenes, literally make you sick.

...This disturbing and very frightening movie called Ed Gein is a true story. Any horror movie based on a true story is terrifying but I promise you unless you have seen this you haven't been scared senseless! Edward Theodore (Ed Gein) was born on August 27th 1906. I guess the real motive for his insanity was his mother Augusta. Augusta was highly religious and had rather strange views e.g she was disgusted by sex and taught her boys never to be lured into womens traps and forbid them to have sex, okay fair enough she hates sex but then why did she have sex atleast 3 times?! (she conceived 3 boys) Augusta threatened her boys by telling them they would go to hell if they had any sexual desires. Augusta died after a series of strokes. Ed was traumatised as he had lost his only love and best friend. Ed Gein's main hobbies were to visit... Read review
