The best album from Maiden

Advantages: Shows how they created their album
Disadvantages: Not long enough

...DVD is made by the Classic Albums Company who have also made great DVD's like, Metallica with the Metallica album, Judas Priest with their British Steel album along with many others. This shows what good experience they have with making album DVD's Running Time: 80 Mins which isn't really enough for me If you're an Iron Maiden fan and really like this album, this would be a perfect addition to your DVD collection, with really unique footage of ...

So you think you should be an anti-capitalist?!!!

Advantages: well balanced, extremely inciteful, visionary opinions
Disadvantages: before watching some may think it's a pointless globalisation rant

...documentary with Michael Moore on the credits We know about Shell and Tesco and Greenpeace We know we hate everything because Starbucks is everywhere We know companies are greedy and ruin Africa BUT You are the very people that NEED to watch this for the following reasons: 1) It is produced with the chairmen of these global companies's giving their viewpoint 2) It is produced with activists, politicians, and charities giving their viewpoint ...
...exist in a seam under the soil. 1) Without this deposit there will be no production 2) With the production 5,000 jobs are kept in UK 3) With this production the goods will go to creating long range missiles and mobile off road troop transit vehicles capable of aiding the UN peace process in the remote areas of Niger, Mali and Sudan 3) With this production the village and its 1,000 people are ruined 4) Civil war in the area means there is no ...

Elite Documentary about an Elite unit.

Advantages: makes you think, can be motivating
Disadvantages: none

...faced bunch of Royal Marine Commando recruits all the way through 32 weeks of basic training. With complete access to every part of the training process he follows the good times and the bad of each of the recruits and something that I felt made the documentary that little more exciting was that he also took part in the training himself, Chris Terrill was 55 years old. The Program was originally aired in 2007 for ITV; at the beginning you see the ...
...of becoming a Royal Marine Commando and receiving the coveted Green Beret so that they can become elite soldiers that look a million miles away from the guys that they were 32 weeks earlier. After the 32 weeks training Chris follows a few of the successful soldiers when they are posted to Afghanistan for a tour of duty, as well as a new officer who takes up his post in Afghanistan for his first tour with a mainly rookie company of men. I managed ...

Story

Eye level is buy level!!

Advantages: Cheap prices
Disadvantages: Cheap labour

With the slave trade debate raging last year during the 200 commerations its always important to note that not only is that particular trade is still alive and well in the third world but its as good as here in its modern form in companies like Wal-Mart. Well meaning and angry people may well protest alongside some vegetarians banging a drum in London about what happened 200 years ago but most of the labeled clothing we are wearing will have been ...
...the products piled high in the huge shopping arenas of Wal-Mart and the like are the products of cheap and exploited labor somewhere around the world and when the documentary explores those sweat shops in South East Asia our arguments of reparation begin to fragment. In one segment you see young Chinese girls living in cramped dorms in a grubby factory, the gates locked at night, weekly rent and utilities deducted from their meager pay packets, whether ...

In Sickness and in Health

Advantages: Interesting and entertaining, Great interview with Tony Benn
Disadvantages: Some subjects are arguably exploited, Does not consider disadvantages of socialised healthcare

"Sicko" (2007) - FILM ONLY REVIEW Writer: Michael Moore Director: Michael Moore Running Time: 123 minutes Certificate: 12A (UK) / PG (Ireland) / PG13 (USA) It has become something of a cliché to describe Michael Moore as a controversial, polarising character. To some, he is the White Knight of the left whose regular-guy approach to discussing uncomfortable subjects should be applauded, while to others he is a man who has exploited vulnerable interview ...
...picture he wants to make his attention-grabbing documentaries a success. An entire industry has grown up attempting to discredit Moore's work and has given his reputation something of a battering over recent years, but while some of the criticism he has received has I think been justified, this has not prevented him producing his highly entertaining 2007 documentary "Sicko" about the American medical industry. In many ways, this has proved to be ...
