Days Of Glory DVD

Advantages: Good story, sound and picture
Disadvantages: There are some scenes we have a sense of deja-vu

...Director : Rachid Bouchareb Cast : Jamel Debbouze, Samy Naceri, Sami Bouajila, Roschdy Zem, Bernard Blancan, Mathieu Simonet Genre : War drama First time I saw this movie in FrenchTV, I didn't know the title at that time. But later, when I travelled I found this movie in DVD format. I recognized from the cover shown 4 soldiers their stories told in the movie. At that time I knew the title "IndÍgenes", later known as "Days Of Glory" in English title. It's a French movies which use French (commonly) language and some Arabian language. Directed by Rachid Bouchareb, released in 2006. In 1943, while German-Nazi with his Wehrmacht/SS occupied more than half European until North Africa (including French colonies), French Army really needed new soldiers from their colonies. French said help us to regained victory so the colonies might had... Read review

Advantages: Good plotline with a morality theme and Regeneration.
Disadvantages: Some ham acting it has to be said.

...We might say that this DVD i have enjoyed several times as the plot does have a few entertaining twists and there are some deeper morality issues with jek and the army. There are villians at every corener from the Army, Jek, and the evil Morgus, as well as a magma monster for those monster loving fans, all in all a very enjoyable DVD still in the glory days of Doctor Who. Unfortunatley the accent of Peri brown is not too great as there are some words that are clearly spoken in a very English accent, but all in all the acting is satisfactory. Without divulging the plot too greatley it seems that each episodes hallmark cliffhanger is exactly that, from disease, executions to space ships crashing, they do rather keep you watching. And the mystery of the celery is finally solved!... Read review

Advantages: Great look back at the glory days
Disadvantages: Only good for LFC fans

...This was fabulous yet hard to watch. Fabulous because it brought back all the memories of football in my childhood. Hard because I realise how much I miss those days amongst the tedium, commercialisation and lack of player/fan repartee thatis modern day football. The 3 managers showcased, Shankly, Paisley, and Dalglish are all heroes in the history of Liverpool, probably he 3 biggest heroes in their illustrious history. It really is one of those DVD's for fans only. It is great to be able to lookback at the way the club was rebuilt in Shankly's early days to European glory in Paislay's days to (almost) domestic perfection in Dalglish's period. Luckily for all Liverpool fans the DVD does not go past those days or it would have to show the downturn the club has faced since the dark day in February when Dalglish resigned. Overall...

Advantages: Excellent, Shocking
Disadvantages: None

...This is by far one of the best war films made. If ever there was an antidote to all those glory glory films this must surely be it. If you expected one of those cheesey all American hero things then you will be shocked from your complacence in the early scenes of the D-Day landings. I can't think of too many other films which depict the savage horror of the experience in quite such a convincing way and its done in a way which neither revels in nor glorifies the whole situation. It would be an insult to say one can understan what it was like but this is certainly food for thought. The rest of the film up to the final climatic scenes are equally as absorbing and Speilbergs treatment is superb.... Read review

Advantages: A great gift for gardeners
Disadvantages: There's not enough episodes!

...This makes a great gift for keen kitchen gardeners. The gardener in the series was a gardener in a real Victorian kitchen garden and shows exactly how they did it - you can pick up some really good hints and tips. You see the garden throughout the year, too, and it's easy on the eyes! Throughout the series you see the transformation as the neglected walled kitchen garden at Chiltern Foliat (in Berkshire) is restored to its former glory as a working kitchen garden. Step back in time and learn how the Victorians grew pineapples in their greenhouses, and how they supplied freshly grown produce to the 'big house' every day of the year. Find out about Victorian seeds, and which heritage varieties are still worth growing today. The DVD special features are a bit light: an interview with presenter Peter Thoday and a History File....
