Avatar - The Legend Of Aang - Book 1 - Water - Vol.2 (DVD)

Aang great DVD

Advantages: Suitable for all ages - Great Story - Wonderful Animation
Disadvantages: Not always suitable for very young children

Like many things, I came across Avatar as I'd seen it mentioned quite a bit on the internet, and decided to give it a try. I admit "give it a try" for me usually involves some way of watching it for free, but I think half of my DVD collection would never have been bought had I not first watched them by some less than fully legal means. I enjoyed it, so ended up with all 3 series (books as they are known) on DVD. Avatar:The Legend of Aang is an American Cartoon, also known as Avatar:The Last Airbender (the change of name supposedly being down to the fact that "bender" has a different meaning in the UK to the US, the meaning having nothing to do with getting drunk), which takes a lot of influence from Japanese anime, infact the whole show has a very Asian feel to it. It is set in a world where people have power to manipulate or "bend ...

Review of Avatar - The Legend Of Aang - Book 1 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

Avatar, it just keeps getting better.

Advantages: It just gets better - great for all ages
Disadvantages: Not always suitable for very young children

I'll warn from the start, this review will contain some spoilers for Book 1 - Water, incase you are reading this without having seen that. Ok, with that out the way, onto the review. I'll assume that since your interested in this you probably already have seen Book 1, so I won't bother going into too much detail about Avatar as a whole, and will more cover this series. At the end of Book 2 we left Aang and his gaang up at the North Pole having just defeated the Fire Nation fleet trying to invade, and overcoming both Admiral Zhao and Prince Zukos seperate attempts to capture the Avatar. Book 1 was also known as Water, and mainly focussed on this element, including the Water Tribe and Aangs training as a Water bender. Book 2 is Earth, and this time focuses on the very different Earth Kingdom, and Aangs attempts to master Earth Bending ...

Review of Avatar - The Legend Of Aang - Book 2 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

Mr Bean - Vol. 2 DVD

Advantages: Hilarious comedy, good viewing
Disadvantages: only 3 episodes, expensive to buy whole set individually

Another installement to my DVD collection - the epic and classic comedy hero - Mr Bean. I love Rowan Atkinson, especially in Black Adder and also in the classic Mr Bean episodes. Despite my mood before hand, after watching Mr Bean I always feel much better, he always manages to intrigue my imagination with his biazarre mannerisms and abilty to turn the most straight forward of tasks into complete disaters! Having not being able to buy the whollebox set I have had to purchase and review each DVD volume one by one. This DVD contains 3 episodes, each with 3 or 4 sketches in them. All of whihc are brilliant and this DVD includes one of my favourites - the one where he goes to the swimming pool and clings to the diving board. The three episodes are entitled: Episode 1. 'The Curse Of Mr Bean', Episode 2. 'Mr Bean Goes To Town ...
