Advantages: Now with added comedy at the end, 'Demi Moore would date a baby'
Disadvantages: They are portrayed less cold hearted this season, meaning less jokes

...for a third season of the popular 'Simple Life' television series after the huge success of the two prior, and once again there was an added twist to keep the show formula fresh. This season was dubbed 'Interns' as it saw the spoilt pair taking on two-day internships at various different employments, and instead of having their luxury motorhome to stay in, they would travel to each location by bus meaning that they had double the opportunity to annoy ...
...be the million dollar heiresses show without some catchphrases to help sell the series, and with the now dated that's hot, we saw them calling each other 'sil' and 'bil', short for silly and billy of course. Even their dogs that accompanied them on the journey had their own nicknames, including 'tinks', and you never knew what was going to come out of their mouths next. Paris and Nicole even hoped to get their very own record out of the show as well, ... Read review

Advantages: HILARIOUS to watch.
Disadvantages: Girls are sometimes a bit stuck up.

...&& NICOLE RICHIE. Two of the worlds most re-knowned socialites, heiressess and up there with the prettiest of the bunch. Both have tried there hand at a musical career, both have runway and modelling contracts under their belts and both really know how to work that flirtacious smile. Now they're trying to live it SIMPLE. A hilarious comedic watch, watching two high class girls live it normal style, mistakes after mistakes after mistakes after ...
...some even funnier statements about the two and from the two. A FARM? Paris and Nicole on a farm? It is most likely the complete opposite to what these girls are used to, from bathtubs to pig troughs, from luxury meals to chicken and rice, from limosines to tractors. It can only get better from here. The best thing about the DVD format is you can rewind so easily and skip back to your favourite place easily. ... Read review

Advantages: The hint of a conspiracy is always exciting
Disadvantages: The production of the DVD quashes any hopes of conspiracy, even before the..."evidence" is given

...insight into the life of Jimi Hendrix, with feedback and opinion from a small number of people connected to him. And by 'people connected to him' I don't mean his parents, or his best friends. I mean recent biographers and ex-members of government organisations. These people argue the case that Jimi was murdered by a combination of his manager, the mafia and the US government. One interviewee persuades us that Hendrix was held down to a chair and ...
...the same 3-10 shots of Jimi playing guitar on a continuous reel - highlighting either a lack of funding, professionalism or enthusiasm by the creators. Or a mixture of the lot. The soundtrack even appears to not be Hendrix, but some basic guitarist performing an average, slow, rendition of 'All Along The Watchtower'. It might just be me, but if ever there was a DVD that needed renting before purchasing, it was this one. ... Read review

Advantages: Nice people in their own sarcastic way
Disadvantages: Family values out the window

...she first hit on to the scene as the female Callum Best with her partying hard although ever since her stint in jail the most we have really heard about her is her relationship with Britney's ex, K-Fed. Partnered up with Nicole Richie, daughter of famous musician Lionel Richie, the two heiresses to a whole load of cash are the stars of reality television show, 'The Simple Life'. This surprise 2003 hit drew a staggering 13 million viewers upon its ...
...watching at that timeslot. Whilst the second season, 'Road Trip', saw a drop in ratings the premiere still drew 9.8 million showing people were still interested in Hilton and Richie. The concept behind the show was to introduce the pair to the simple life that many people have to lead, without all the money, and took away all the luxuries they were used to. Of course, there is clearly a smoke shield put up so we don't want to see them clearly enjoying ... Read review

Advantages: Great Information
Disadvantages: none

...is an excellent view into Jackie Chan and how he makes movies. The DVD is in 2 parts both on the same disc = Jackie Chan - My Story + Jackie Chan - My Stunts. Jackie Chan - My Story is a bit of a potted biography and presented in a sometimes irritating MTV type pop up format it certainly is a useful introduction into who Jackie Chan is and contains some interesting footage and interviews. Jackie Chan - My Stunts has been termed a primer for Hong ...
...footage towards the end where Jackie Chan stunt-team members carry out some quick stunts that where choreographed including the 'bad' takes with an explanation as to what went wrong and why. Some interesting behind the scenes footage again with some interviews of Jackie explaining what went into the stunts. ... Read review
