Laurel and Hardy 21 dvd boxset
Review of Laurel And Hardy (Box Set) by slamdunk22

Advantages: Much better quality than VHS
Disadvantages: Absolutely none

...life I have been a laurel and hardy fan. I was an advocate of the "old fashioned" vhs videos and had a great collection of all of the boys films, which I treasured, but was reluctant to play in case they got damaged. This new dvd boxset has been a godsend, in being concise, hard wearing, and excellent quality, so much so in I have even started given film shows, and lending the films out, to my sons to get them into carrying on the tradition of loving ...
...colourised films included, which to a die hard B+W film lover was a shocking concept, but I must admit it was great to see the boys in the digitised colour versions of all of their classic films. My advice to all the L+H fans out there is to grab a boxset while they are available and give yourselves a treat. ... Read review

Come And 'Ave A Shag!
Review of Let's Make Love DVD by KarenUK

Advantages: Fun, entertaining, good musical numbers, Marilyn Monroe
Disadvantages: Milton Berle

INTRODUCTION This weekend sees the 45th anniversary since the sudden death of Marilyn Monroe. While it is a time when fans feel particularly sad about her early passing, it is also a good opportunity to remember her life and to celebrate all she achieved. So, yesterday, I watched two of her films on DVD – Lades of the Chorus (1949) for the first time ever and Let’s Make Love (1960) for the second time. Both are great upbeat movies which reminded ...
...entertainment world. Here is my review for… LET’S MAKE LOVE By the time Let’s Make Love was released, Marilyn had been making films for thirteen years. She had played serious, dramatic roles, but this one was back to the light, fluffy comedy musical the public always associated her with. Her co-stars this time were French actor Yves Montand and British singer Frankie Vaughan. The idea was something of a Cinderella story with a twist. While essentially ... Read review

'Who do you think you are kidding, Mr Hitler?'
Review of Dad's Army - The Movie DVD by sunmeilan

Advantages: Subtle humour, great addition to the series
Disadvantages: Perhaps would have been better as three episodes rather than a film

...will not have heard of Dad's Army. It lasted for nine series and, although made back in the nineteen sixties/seventies, there are frequently repeats shown on the television. However, what I am reviewing today is a film that was based on the series and was made at the height of the show's popularity in 1971. It was popular at the time to make films based on sitcoms, rather like the seasonal specials of favourite sitcoms today. Perhaps much of the ...
...too much. The humour in Dad's Army is generally different - it is very subtle and of a type that catches you unawares. A good example from this film is a scene of the German Army planning their side of the battle in a very organised and high tech way, when a very important message comes in from the Fuhrer. It then cuts to Mainwaring, planning manoevres very haphazardly with the most primitive of weapons, when a message comes in from his wife to ask ... Read review

Two girly teen flicks for one.
Review of Mean Girls / Clueless (Box Set) by ellastar

Advantages: Good acting, great plot.
Disadvantages: Not really intelligent!

...plague, but I accidentally watched Mean Girls and loved it! So bear in mind that this review was written by someone who would usually cast a sceptical eye over chick-flicks... I bought this DVD because I saw Mean Girls at the cinema (because it was on at the right time and there was nothing else left to see, actually!) and I really enjoyed it. At the time, I wasn't really looking for a DVD when I went out, but I saw this bright pink box and it really ...
...£2 more than Mean Girls (which I wanted...) for the both films, so I bought the box set. Anyway, I don't regret it because I love the film Clueless now, as well. I know, I'm sad! ♥ The Packaging The packing (as you can see) is a bright pink box, housing both of the DVDs within it. Even though I don't really like the colour pink, I was drawn to it, and even though I was going to buy Mean Girls, I was thinking of buying it later, online. ... Read review

Pajama Game
Review of The Pajama Game DVD by lolli_95

Advantages: Very funny and entertaining.
Disadvantages: Classic film so younger viewers may not be interested.

...Carol Haney and John Raitt. The employees at Sleep tite pajama factory want a seven and a half cent an hour increase. Williams 'Day' the employee spokes person takes on the shop superintendant 'Raitt' for the pay increase but ends up falling for him. The story is all about the chase of 'Day' and 'Raitt' which is very funny. The soundtrack for this film is amazing obviously many songs sang by Doris Day herself. They are also sang by ensemble, John ... Read review
