Sense and Sensibility plus extra features = great item

Advantages: What extras there are complement the film well
Disadvantages: Might only appeal to a specific audience, few extra features

I can't fault the technical quality of this DVD - the menus are straightforward and easy to operate, although the one confusion I always have is whether the audio commentary option is switched on or switched off. The menus look elegant and in keeping with the marketing material used by the film, but things like this could be clearer, in my opinion. The sound and picture quality is excellent - sometimes there is a mismatch (even on TV) between the ...
...that the volume level you thought you needed is suddenly deafening, but in this case that problem doesn't apply - and in spite of the five year gap between film production and DVD, the picture never looks washed-out (as is sometimes the case). I have rated the special effects in this case as average - although I have picked up from background research that some scenes required a rain machine, because it is a period film, there is little need for ...

Take a hit and watch this?!?!?!

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 ...

...- Ludlow THE FILM When 'The Aviator', directed by Martin Scorsese, was fist released in 2004 I quite fancied watching it but just never got round to doing so.

Review of The Aviator (DVD)

Juno - not just teen fluff

Advantages: Brilliant film with excellent soundtrack
Disadvantages: None

...plot is relatively straightforward - Juno is a slightly kooky sixteen year old who gets bored and decides to have sex with her best friend, Bleeker. She inevitably falls pregnant, and after some discussion decides to have an abortion. After a classmate is protesting outside the clicinc she wants to use she is put off and decides to put the baby up for adoption instead, finding a couple who are very sweet but quite obviously mismatched - it soon becomes ...
...other. The perofmances in this film are excellent - Ellen Page (Juno) and Michael Cera (Bleeker) making light work of some complicated issues and making them comical. Both give incredibly sweet performances as naive and unsure teenagers. Ellen Page is playing a lot younger than her real age but really captures the essence of a confused sixteen year old well. Jennifer Garner is good as a woman desperate for a baby and Jason Bateman manages to make ...

How high is the water Mama..............?

Advantages: A Fascinating Insight into Johnny Cash's Life
Disadvantages: I Can't Think of Any

...sent me a DVD Called, Walk the Line. James Mangold's movie tells many great stories of Cash's strange and interesting life. He has fused together several meetings, conversations and two autobiographies and the end result is an engaging account of the first part of Cash's life. The film begins at one of Cash's major concerts, the Folsom Prison gig in 1968 but within minutes we are whisked away to Arkansas in the year of 1944. Here we see JR as Cash ...
...is the emotional core of Walk the Line and the magical chemistry between both actors had me caring about what happened to them and wanting everything to work out okay through the years of tours and performances and of course, all the demons that went with their lifestyle. June was a very religious person and her roots were firmly planted in the Bible. Her beliefs and Cash's determination to discover his lost self are the two things that save his ...
