Advantages: Great documentry must see. Disadvantages: none
I've been a fan of Tupac Shakur for years, I would say I am a obsessive one. I own all of his albums and I've seen all of his movies. The new documentary, Tupac: Resurrection, answers just about every question anyone may have. So watch it
There have been many unauthorized movies about the life of Tupac, a.k.a. 2Pac, but this is the first one officially commissioned by his mother, Afeni Shakur. Tupac Amaru Shakur, born Lesane Parish Crooks, was born ... ...In September of 1996, Tupac was leaving the Mike Tyson-Bruce Seldon fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas with Death Row Records label head Marion "Suge" Knight when they were the victims of a drive-by shooting. On September 13, 1996, he passed away at the age of 25, six days after the shooting.
The movie is structured very much in the way that last year's The Kid Stays in the Picture was. They both overlap cutouts of the pictures of the subjects ...
Advantages: Beautifully made Disadvantages: not long enough
What a beautifully made documentary. You can really lose yourself in the sceneries you see on screen and before you know it your booking an adventure holiday to the congo. Sir David Attenborough brings such charisma and passion forward you wish to be in his shoes. My personal favourite moment is when Sir Attenborough is with the gorillas-what magnificent animals, you can really see their different personalities and facial expressions. Sir David manages ... ...animals.
I can not say there is anything I disliked about 'Great Wildlife Moments' apart from the horrid thought that most of the animals featured will be extinct in 20 years!
Whether you are watching this DVD for educational interests or personal interests it is deffinatly a worth while buy. ...
Advantages: Steve Irwin Disadvantages: Poor acting, terrible storyline
I like Steve Irwin. I really find him entertaining if a little over the top. But he does keep banging on about how much experience he has and how he learned it from his father - and it grates on you after a while.
But my children were desperate to see this film, so off we trotted. They loved it - but then they are only 9 and 8. I enjoyed the bits with Steve and Terri Irwin, on their travels around the Outback, catching various creatures for research ... ...stop her so calls in Steve and Terri to relocate the croc. Incompetant spies are sent out and bungle the job. Steve catches croc after much difficulty and is nearly killed in the process - firstly by the croc pulling him along by the top jaw rope he attached to it and then by the spies, who are convinced that Steve and Terri are spied too. Very lame and very unconvincing. But the bits with the croc are VERY scary. I screamed. I admit it. I did actually ...
Advantages: Fantastic look back at Fred Dibnah's life Disadvantages: None
...we must preserve our industrial heritage for our own and future generations. Watching Fred swap tales of steam engines and of steeplejacking and jokes with his equally steam mad friends whilst supping ale at what the DVD bills as "the world's largest steam rally" at The Dorset Steam Fair is wonderful. As it is all too easy to forget, whilst watching those scenes filmed on a summer's day several years ago that Fred Dibnah is still with us, and not ... ...caravan is a real sight to see. Especially when they have to pull up at a fire hydrant to fill up.
Watch the famous (or infamous?!) Monton Chimney drop, as Fred displays the technique used to drop the chimney, that has been used for 1,000 years or more. The audio is not quite as good as it might be, it sounds as if the narrator and Fred were talking in a chimney when they were recorded!
It should cost about £12.99.
It also touches on the very ...
Advantages: A great experiment, interesting Disadvantages: A bit sick in places
A film of EPIC proportions. Before I start this review I must just firstly say that I like McDonalds, I would probably go so far as to say that I love McDonalds. Sometimes a Big Mac, fries and an diet coke is all that will hit the spot, but only once in a while and certainly not every day, not even every month but unfortunately some people do not seem to understand this and treat McDonald's like their everyday menu. This creates a country full of ... ...sue McDonalds for making them eat burgers everyday and then wonder why they are fat. Why is America so fat? This is the question that Morgan Spurlock sets out to answer in his documentary Supersize me. If you ever want to eat at McDonalds again I would recommend approaching this film with caution as there are some parts that will turn your stomach but saying that I have watched it a few times and yes, do still like the golden arches thankgoodness! ...
