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)

A Must See That You Will Want To Watch Again

Advantages: Good attention to detail, superb cast and acting
Disadvantages: Hard to keep track of everyone and there names

A superb series that should take pride of place in anyones war collection. The attention to detail and the acting of a fine cast make this a must see. We follow the missions from training to the end of the Second World War of Easy Company of the 506th, 101st Airbourne. Some of the episodes concentrate on specific men and how they cope and deal with the challenges and horrors of the war. Very little is left to the imagination, some of the episodes ...
...the Bulge but one must remember that there is nothing delightful about war and this series shows not just death and awful injuries but also the emotional scars that are left. If schools were allowed to show this for educational purposes it would serve as a good yet tragic reminder of just how devastating war can be. ...

Review of Band Of Brothers (Tin) (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)

a break away from the previous..

Advantages: good storylines, great characters
Disadvantages: some episodes can be similar to previous seaons.

Season 3 of bones unlike the previous seasons (1 and 2), deals with a much more complex set of victims and instead of the previous trend of one murder and murderer per episode, which were for the most part unconnected season 3 undertakes a mammoth task for the team; a serial killer. The Gormagon plot line creates many twists and turns for all of the characters with underlying plot lines that push forward the episodes and creates an addictive atmosphere ...
...against the rest of the bones team. 14.The Wannabe In The Weeds- when the body of an aspiring singer is found crushed by a lawnmower, a psychotic stalker emerges, a spectacular episode with a fantastic ending. a must see episode. 15.The Pain In The Heart- after an entire season of guessing the gormagon and his apprentice are revealed in a shocking ending that leaves everyone feeling betrayed and lost. overall this is a fantastic season of a great ...

Review of Bones - Series 3 - Complete (DVD)

dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones.

Advantages: good stories
Disadvantages: genre is getting a little saturated

Bones - Season 1 The Review A friend of mine recently loaned me his Season 1 boxset of Bones. He was singing its praises as he handed me the box saying "the show really sucks you in". So with no idea of what to expect I started trawling through the episodes. In the ongoing quest to arm criminals with a plethora of information on how NOT to get caught we have seen a number of television shows crop up that delve a fair bit deeper than your average ...
...more than 100%. Bones takes a similar but visually different approach in that crimes are investigated from a forensic point of view. Although looking at the very different setups between CSI and Bones I assume it is a different form of forensics that is being used, (I am not in Forensics and so I cannot comment). They also team up with the FBI which I think has been put in to A: make it a little more interesting and B: To get them out of the lab. ...
