Catalyst DVD

Advantages: A Masterful Film
Disadvantages: None

...’t have eyes at all but holes so the analogy doesn’t seem to hold. With Kubrick dead I guess we’ll never know but it is a great title for the movie. The DVD Cover ---------------------- The copy I have of this DVD is headed along the top as being from the, Stanley Kubrick Collection. I don’t think there’s a different cover but can’t be sure. It is a simple front cover with the cantered head and shoulders picture of the two main stars, Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise. They are about to kiss, with Cruise’s head away from camera and eyes closed, with Kidman’s eyes open, looking surreptitiously out the corner of her to the camera. It looks like they’re naked. Below the picture you have the producer’s name and below that, in large bold face type the name of the film. At the bottom left hand corner we’re given the rating – 18. The back... Read review

Advantages: Possibly the best TV show ever - intelligently, surreal and brilliant
Disadvantages: Some might find the ending a little surreal

...The Prisoner is one of those rare things, a TV programme that has refused to date and with time declined to give up any of its secrets.

...ChiNosis is a very easy to learn method of healing by acupressure. The dvd comes with a colour handbook and postcard, which describe the pressure points perfectly for any newcomer to ChiNosis. The handbook is made up of 21 pages yet as short as this is, much information is available. The book describes ChiNosis as a `catalyst designed to clear the clutter of emotional baggage` - the motto of which bears the word KISS (keep it simple and stupid) - And after watching the dvd i understand this motto fully : ) This isnt a long drawn out complicated dvd - Chinosis is simple and straightforward. Johnathon Chase makes this enjoyable and interesting viewing, His laid back approach is refreshing and very calming. But does ChiNosis work? Yes, it does exactly as the box says it does. From the first attempt at self applied acupressure... Read review
