Incredible

Advantages: Everything, Storyline, soundtrack, actors,
Disadvantages: Only 10 episodes, some special effects are now a bit dated but mostly fine.

I've loved Band of Brothers since it came out years ago. Each of the episodes has something special about it. Each episode is an hour long and almost like a mini film. The whole experience is incredibly cinematic and for anybody who loved "Saving Private Ryan" etc... this will be ideal. I've watched this series a few times and each time it is enjoyable. The cast is huge and not one performance disappoints. Damien Lewis carries the series well. I've ...
...is enhanced and even more enjoyable. The special effects can be dated if you look closely but on the whole are incredible. It would take an essay to describe everything a thing is good about this series. I'll finish by saying I've recommended this series to many people and nobody has regretted watching it. ...

Review of Band Of Brothers (Box Set) (Blu-Ray)

I wonder ,did my teachers act like this?????

Advantages: Witty, Clever, Re-life, Strong Characters
Disadvantages: Maybe ran one series to many

...series following the lives of teachers and there students. The idea of teachers is simple and it appeals to everyone because we have all been there to some extent and it can make you think back to your school days. Teachers was a channel four drama series that followed the lives and tribulations of a group of young comprehensive school teachers at the fictitious school of Summerdown High (or I hope its not a real school) in Bristol. This was the ...
...aired for four series. Teachers was nominated for six BAFTA awards between 2002 and 2004, and was nominated for Best British Comedy Show at the British Comedy Awards in 2003. Teachers seize a funny irrelevant look at the roles of the teachers within our schools. This has made me ask numerous times if my teachers did the same things about myself when I was at school. There are numerous little in gags that make the show funny to watch over and over. ...

Review of Teachers - Series 1-4 (DVD)

Rome

Advantages: Everything, quality, great storyline!!
Disadvantages: Nothing, perfect almost.

...ANYWAYS, to the point, Rome is amazing: the acting, the setting and great historial facts about Rome and Gaius Julius Caeser. It starts of with two characters Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pollo both serving in the Roman legion, having finished the war against the Gauls, Mark Antony gives Vorenus the order to find the stolen "Eagle Standard" hence the journey of Pollo and Vorenus begins . It depicts the reality of what went on in Roman times, murder, ...

Review of Rome - Series 1 (DVD)

Cult drama from the 90s

Advantages: Innovative at the time, good depth to characters
Disadvantages: Can look a bit dated at times

...of the DVD boxset of This Life, a cult drama from the mid 90s based on a group of cohabiting twentysomethings in central London, mostly involved in starting their careers in law. For people of a certain age, this is a welcome reminder of their 20s, and seeing the friends a decade on in this setting is quite interesting. THE SHOW The show is based around the lives of the 5 main protagonists in their nascent law careers. Having just graduated ...
...now looks strange. Add to this the total lack of reference to the internet. It's a rather unlikely scenario on the face of it; law isn't exactly the most sexy profession you can think of, and there is in fact very little seen of clients or courts. Many scenes are played out in the offices (or chambers as they appear to be called, I'm no legal expert). The house is where most of the action is though, and it's really all about how the characters interact ...

Review of This Life - Series 1 And 2 (Box Set) (DVD)

Great series!!!

Advantages: suspenseful
Disadvantages: cannot think of any

...just cannot get enough of Prison Break and have got all 3 season so far. The series start off with Michael Schofield getting his arm tattoed, which is all part of a plan to get his brother out of prison, for a crime which he claims he did not commit. Michael's plan is to end up going to the same prison as his brother and to try break him out. The rest of the story is up to you to watch. I can really recommend this series to anyone and everybody, ...
...first watched this film about 2 years ago but missed a couple of series. After a while, you start getting so addicted to this series and cannot wait to know what happens in the next series, that you end up (like me) buying all the series / seasons. Season 4 is coming out at the end of April 2009. I can say that if you like suspenseful, fun, awesome, action packed series, then this is for you! Go out and buy it / rent it. ...
