And Then There Were Two

Advantages: An intelligent and mildy enjoyable children's series of old
Disadvantages: Old-fashioned and with creaky production values

...the 'classic' TV programmes for children we watched when not running wild and unsupervised in the woods were all wonderful, original and groundbreaking, and that their modern equivalents are rubbish in comparison. The trouble is that most of these classics are now available on DVD and the temptation to revisit them, to eagerly span the misty divide, can be strong, sometimes overwhelming. Children of the Stones was a seven-part children's drama ...
...a scientist and his teenage son as they moved to a small village where dad was going to carry out some scientific tests on the stone circle that surrounded the village and brainy son was going to help him. As the series progressed, the pair found themselves caught up in some strange cultish goings-on and decided to get to the bottom of it all by the appliance of science. The series has always been well thought-of and it even featured quite recently ...

The Demise Of Britney?

Advantages: Enjoyable for a young age range
Disadvantages: Bad acting, ridiculous storyline, cashing in on Britney's stardom

...to see her debut film Crossroads and when I first saw it I loved it. Crossroads was shown on TV recently and I felt compelled to record it as I had only seen it once previously so I was desperate to see what I would think about it all these years later. Crossroads was released back in 2002, back in a time when Britney could do no wrong; she had a gorgeous and safe boyfriend in Justin Timberlake and her career was going from strength to strength. ...
...in a way it was, Crossroads was bugged with so much critism from every angle imaginable and for someone who had risen to fame so quickly and been led to believe that she could do no wrong it must have been a huge knock for Britney when her film didn’t become the worldwide success that she must have predicted it would be. I do however think that the critism towards Crossroads was justified and it wasn’t just the critics trying to knock her confidence. ...

Michael Patrick King is an American film director and screenplay writer. Besides Sex and the City he wrote the screenplay of ...

Review of Sex And The City - The Movie (DVD)

There's final hits and final hits. What kind is this one to be?

Advantages: One Of The Best Films To Come Out Of The UK.
Disadvantages: None!

...I first saw the film Trainspotting after hearing so much controversy about it on television, from reading about it in the newspapers and from everyone talking about it around me at the time. It was all everyone was talking about on it's release in 1996 and of course I just had to see it for myself to see what all the hype was about. Well I went to the pictures to watch this film and was quite shocked by this outrageously, yet brilliant tale of five ...
...ago that my husband purchased Trainspotting to add to our DVD collection as we both really enjoyed watching it over the years at various times on television (in a sick kind of way I guess). He picked it up second-hand for £1 at a car boot sale, so it certainly was a great bargain. This film really will not be suited to everyone though. I think you will either love it like I do, or absolutely hate it. It certainly is worth watching once though just ...
