Blood Relatives DVD

Advantages: all epsiodes present, in order and unedited
Disadvantages: takes some getting used to the new Gladys Kravitz, no extras

...and Darrin, and breathed fresh lie into what could have become a very stale franchise. ************************************************************* *************** Uncle Arthur: [to Endora] When I think of you as a blood relative, I long for a transfusion ************************************************************** ************** The transfer from film to DVD was well done, with the episodes restored so that the original broadcast is what we get to watch. There is no fear of colour mismatching from computerised colourisation, either, as this was the first of the series to be actually filmed in colour. So we get all the real tones and shades, without any glaring mistakes here and there. Sound quality is also quite good, though as it is in mono, you may find you need to compensate by turning the volume up slightly in order to hear clearly... Read review

Advantages: A great story
Disadvantages: Childish for some

...the beast locked away inside Naruto. We then encounter Naruto many years later. Hes now approaching his teens. He is however a terrible students and often gets in trouble. Not because he isnt talented but because he craves attention being an orphan. The stroy continues as Naruto tries to become a good ninja. This first season sees him on a mission with his team. His teacher Kakashi and his fellow classmates, Sakura and Naruto's rival Sasuke, are assigned the task of protecting a builder as he travels to his own country. Things obviously dont go to plan and you will find yourself mesmorised in the world that has been created. The animation is great. This being a relatively new anime the quality is as good as you will see from a long running series. It is child friendly to an extent but the DVD's are uncut so expect blood! Another thing to point... Read review

Advantages: good concept
Disadvantages: rather lazy execution

...released on dvd in september 2006 this watchable but by no means brilliant movie left me wishing the acting and execution of the movie had lived up to the idea. after the brutal death of a friend, a group find themselves in possesion of a video game called stay alive, a blood curdling true story of a 17th century noblewoman known as the blood countess. however after playing the game when they know they shouldnt the friends realise that once they are dead in the game they are dead for real. as their numbers begin dropping and as they begin to face death in exactly the same way they died in the game, the remaining friends realise they must defeat the blood countess or accept their fates. upstep the computer nerd in the bunch to try to figure out a way to defeat the game that wont let you stop playing once youve started. run timeaprox...

Advantages: Nice plot, good action sequences
Disadvantages: Acting skills of Sylvester Stallone are not up to the mark

...This movie makes Rambo as the person , all of us are familiar with. He is a veteran of the Vietnam war. Due to certain circumstances he is locked up in a prison . Rambo manages to break out of the prison. The police are on his trail, and he escapes to the jungle. He displays supreme skills in outsmarting the police. Rambo also displays great survival skills during his stay in the forest. The action sequences are handled very well. It is a relatively short film. But, with great stunts and a good plot, it is definitely worth the spent money. Sylvester Stallone is quite fine in the action sequences; though, he has not acted that well. His fine toned muscles make up for that though. All in all, a very good movie.... Read review
