Review of Trainspotting DVD by
jamiemazza
Advantages: The True to life account of heroin
Disadvantages: The True to life account of heroin
Trainspotting again is one of those must see films a true British social realism film that you just cant live life without seeing. Like most British films Train spotting tells it how it is the film tells you the bad and good sides of everything to do with live the heroin addict life. Trainspotting is not just about drug addiction, but about the connection between wasted youth and the spiritually bankrupt society that has abandoned them.Why is this ... ...The soundtrack to trainspotting is awesome here are a few classic songs that are used in the film "Choose Life" - PF Project this is part of the famous dialog that Renton says at the beginning here is a few others "Sing" - Blur "Perfect Day" - Lou Reed and "A Final Hit" - Leftfield. ...

There will be blood - oh yes there will!!
Review of There Will Be Blood DVD by
Spottydog11
Advantages: Spooky, mad movie
Disadvantages: A bit long
There Will be Blood - I think this title is very fitting for this movie. It's like a warning, there will be blood and oh my gosh, how definitely true this statement was.
There Will be Blood is a 2007 film staring Daniel Day Lewis in the lead role. He actually went on to win the 2007 Academy Award for best Actor for his portrayal of Daniel Plainview. Overall the film was nominated for eight Academy Awards.
The film is set in California at the turn ... ...first 15 minutes or so there is no talking and the only sounds we hear is from the spooky cello and piano music. The scenery is quite dark and definitely paints the landscape like it must have been back then. It really suits this type of work as well, the dark, loneliness of the oil fields. It makes prospecting for oil look extremely hard and dangerous and not something you want to be involved in if you are just a lowly worker. Daniel Plainview receives ...

Not even worth £1!
Review of The Social Climber DVD by
disasterinbloom
Advantages: There aren't any!
Disadvantages: Where do I start? Bad acting, rubbish storyline....
...figuired it didn't matter if the film itself was ruubish, as at that price was so cheap. Oh how I was wrong!.....
The storyline is pretty basic, with Jennifer Love Hewitt being a spoilt rich girl who wants to "increase her social position" by climbing that 'social ladder'.
Things is, I'll be honest: after an hour of the film I turned it off. I refuse to watch the rest of it!
I am a fan of Miss Love Hewitt, but in this film her acting was appaling! ...

Love it!!!
Review of Step Up 2 The Streets DVD by
gaetana
Advantages: Dancing
Disadvantages: No real story line
WOW love this DVD cannot get enough of it. It's quite different to the first though.More dancing, BETTER dancing. I was watching this with my sister and my friends I just can't get enough of it. It's one to watch if you're either at home with friends or partner. If you like films such as Oceans eleven and thrteen then you'll love this. Though the dacing is good, wait no good is an under statement it's FABULOUS but it's got no organised story plot ... ...Definitely one to watch. It's aimed at teenagers more than grown adults.
I would most definitely recommend this to any on to watch either on a night in.
all in all i love it for me the film is the one of the most compared to 'save the last dance'. ...

Are you watching closely?
Review of The Prestige DVD by
charlsayslol
Advantages: Amazing storyline, original, fantastic
Disadvantages: none
...days ago, I happened upon the HMV sale. Being a huge fan of DVDs, video games and CDs, I was quite impressed by my own restraint in only spending £20, but still managing to get four DVDs that I really wanted. However, that was still £20 more than my student budget allows, so I've decided that I can reduce how guilty I feel about buying those DVDs by reviewing them, as then I can make back some of the money that I spent.
So, as you can probably tell ... ...bought was that of the film 'The Prestige'. I first saw this film a few months ago with some friends and fell in love with it immediately, so couldn't resist buying it for myself when I saw it for only £6. The film tells the story of a rivalry between two magicians in the 19th century, and their obsession with outdoing eachother and finding out eachother's secrets, largely at the expense of their personal life.
