Sometimes mocked at the time for its extravagant
visual imagery, this is a film which has aged
better than might have been expected. Vastly
reworked from the 40s original,D.O.A.stars Dennis
Quaid as the burned-out campus novelist who
discovers he has been fatally poisoned and sets
out to find his killer in the short time left to
him, along the way rediscovering his love for the
life he is going to lose.Quaid is good enough both
at chain-smoking cynicism and angry zest that this
becomes emotionally credible; a worryingly young
Meg Ryan is excellent as the hero-worshipping
sophomore he co-opts into his search. With
camerawork of sometimes hallucinatory vividness,
rather too many shots of fans and Ferris wheels,
and Charlotte Rampling playing a dragon-lady
villainess to the hilt, this is a film which
teeters on the brink of camp, but has the courage
of its individuality.On the DVD:D.O.A.comes to

for a Spanish soundtrack and subtitles in Spanish

'OK, who was murdered?' '*I* was.'
Review of D.O.A. (DVD) by  thereddragon

Advantages: Dark compelling story with more twists than several corkscrews, good characters
Disadvantages: None, except what a pity they don't make 'em like this anymore

...like its star Dennis Quaid, is not worth seeing! For those who are not aware of it, 'D.O.A'. is the acronym for an American medical phrase often used by police, 'Dead on Arrival', hence the very apt title for the film. Recommended as a definite must-see, even for those who wouldn't normally watch old films. This is a real classic. My copy is not the same DVD as that depicted on this page, but is from a collection called '50 Dark Crimes Classics', in which there are no extras, so this is a film-only review. Also on dooyoo. (***UPDATED 22-3-09 - As one of my first-ever reviews on Ciao nearly 3 years ago, have expanded on this to try to improve it past the original merely 'Helpful' level!)... Read review

Rockit's DVD
Review of Fimbles - Smelly Jelly! (DVD) by  elfbwillow

Advantages: Quite good extras
Disadvantages: All in one long episode

...game that children would love. Roly?s storytime Listen to Roly tell the story of ?The kings tea party?. This is quite a sweet part of the Fimbles though my daughter does not seem to take to the storytime on here which is unusual as she loves stories. R-O-C-K-I-T Song Sing a long to Rockits songs A lovely extra which my daughter loves dancing too and trying to sing the words. As well as the DVD extras there are full interactive menus which are easy to navigate for adults and children alike and also a website address which is easy to find online which provides more Fimbles games. EDUCATIONAL VALUE I don?t think I can really say that this DVD is that educational. It does the usual sing and copy songs though it doesn?t really teach much else except from what they are watching, for example ? the colour of Fimbo?s fur. It isn?t one... Read review

A Golden DVD!
Review of Harry Hill's TV Burp Gold (DVD) by  Amy69

Advantages: entertaining, great length, good features, appealing natural comedy
Disadvantages: sorry, if you're under 12, its a no-go!

...I am a Telly Addict. I'll admit it, it's my life. What's more, I love anything that has me in stitches. So what better than to combine two of my favourite things and come up with an amazing show?! Harry Hill's TV Burps is a comedy show, presented by Harry Hill, which airs every on and off on ITV1. He also writes the script for the show too, which must result in him non-stop working. It first started in 2001 when Hill was just 37, and has been a success for the last eight years now. Each episode, Hill takes us on a journey to look back at that weeks' television, and everything comic about it. Often, there is a celebrity guest appearing in the audience-filled studio, to bring the entertainment and laughter to a peak. Now we can enjoy this magic on a DVD! For Christmas I had asked for Harry Hill's TV Burp Gold DVD, however I did not... Read review
