Advantages: Discovery Channel production Disadvantages: a bit too short
...methods used to create the seven wonders of ancient Rome- the Pantheon, the aqueducts, the Via Appia, the baths of Caracalla, the markets of Trajan, the Circus Maximus and the Colosseum. It is really interesting especially for people who have had the chance to see these sights, it puts things into perspective. I was amazed when I visited the Colosseum and had some many questions about the way it was build around 2000years ago (89 AD) and that DVD ... ...uses superb CG graphics and 3D modelling to recreate brilliantly the key structures and architectual devices that made the Roman Empire famous.
The DVD can be purchased in pretty much every big store- Virgin, HMV etc. Online it can be bought from all the usual places- amazon, ebay and also it can be rented at amazon.co.uk DVD rental.
The only drawback is the lack of any interesting features.
It is a Discovery Channel productions and runs for 53minutes. ...
The First World War in Colour accomplishes all it says on the box, covering the Land Sea and Air War with no particular bells or whistles. As previous reviews suggest, the same footage is repeated several times over, and the shot of the guy carrying a wounded soldier through the trenches as he looks towards the camera is shown in every episode, sometimes two or three times an episode. Branagh does a decent job with the narration, however, the best ... ...the old veterans telling their stories, in what was probably the last time they will ever appear on camera talking in depth of their experiences. Just seeing and hearing their tales of horror on its own makes the series worth watching, and it is primarily because of them I gave it a three Star rating, otherwise it would have been two. The programme as expected does rely heavily on footage of the land war, and I was rather disappointed at the short ...
Advantages: So educational and interesting. Beautiful footage Disadvantages: None what so ever!
...for my boyfriend of 'The Life of Mammals'. We went a bit David Attenborough crazy and decided we were going to buy all of 'The Life Collection' series. This was the second box set from David Attenborough that we bought.
This series basically tells us about the development of life on our planet over 3.5 billion years! It is an amazing piece of work.
The dvd set has four discs with a total of 13 episodes on them.
The dvds have a total running time ... ...about the first evidence of life on our planet.

Episode 5: The Conquest of the Waters - All about fishes!
Episode 6: The Invasion ...
...my favorite would be the SAS (Special Air Service). Inside the DVD, they will reveal all the tricks of the trade including the five S's of camouflage: shape, shine, shadow, silhouette and spacing. From surviving hostage situations to coping with brutal interrogations and torture the team show off their skills. Find out how to set up a covert observation post, learn the secrets of firepower tactics or just pick up some tips on how to escape and how ... ...using a series of mini-dramas and reconstructions on the ins and outs of survival techniques taught to the elite group, which to me, seems really realistic. For those who bought this DVD, I would also recommend you to buy another SAS DVD, the title is "Bravo two zero". ...
Advantages: Solo Videos, rare last Freddie interview, a lot of extras Disadvantages: Some of the extras are a bit long and boring
Freddie Mercury-Lover Of Life, Singer Of Songs DVD
I had this DVD bought for me for my birthday in November 2006 when it had just come out. I also have the Freddie Mercury CD "Lover Of Life, Singer Of Songs, The Very Best Of Freddie Mercury Solo" being a big Queen and Freddie fan.
I love the name of the CD and DVD as I think it sums Freddie up perfectly, as it says on the back of the DVD booklet, it was Brian May's inscription for the Freddie Mercury ... ...with the boy who played Freddie as a child in the documentary.
