Advantages: Great gangster movie, brilliant period drama Disadvantages: Not many but a couple of dull performances
of viewers, you of course have the fans of gangster movies, but as a period drama it is excellent and as an interpretation of a true story it is very enjoyable.
Although the DVD is a Special Collectors Edition, and a vast improvement on it's earlier release, the special features are not up to the standard of what I would class a Special Edition and to be really honest, are disappointing compared to the features that you can find on many of today's normal DVD releases. I doubt the extra features are enough to warrant paying the extra pounds for the movie unless you can pick it up for around the £7 mark.

Advantages: Robert De Niro and Kevin Costner Disadvantages: Sean Connery dodgy accent
During the late 1920's The United States was under prohibition which made alcohol illegal as a result there were fortunes to be made by the underworld and the biggest gangster of the time was Al Capone. The Untouchables is based on true events, however many of the events have been somewhat modified.
Al Capone (played superbly by Robert De Niro) is the most feared gangster, however due to a mixture of good planning and bribery has remained untouched by the police.
Elliott Ness (played by Kevin Costner) is a Federal Agent brought into deal with those breaking prohibition and swears to bring down the Capone organisation, however his first bust goes wrong and Ness is left with egg on his face.
Due to the failure of Ness's first operation he soon becomes a laughing stock within the force and becomes depressed by his failure to ...
Advantages: Quite good extras Disadvantages: All in one long episode
Fimbles ? Smelly Jelly
I have to admit that Fimbles are not one of my favourite children?s programmes though my daughter loves it so we decided to go and get her a DVD so when we wanted to watch something on the television, she could watch it happily on the laptop ? which she enjoys doing as its mummy?s laptop and she isn?t meant to touch it!
The Fimbles are Fimbo, Florrie and Baby Pom, who all live in a lovely, colourful place called Fimble Valley. The Fimbles are cuddly hippo like creatures each with lovely colourful ?skins?. Other characters in this programme include a blue tree frog called Rockit and a mole called Roly Mo, a pink bird called Bessie and her chick Ribble. Most of the other characters are essentially large puppets except the chick who is just a great ball of fluff with eyes stuck on it, unmoving in the main ...
