Advantages: Fantastic story, direction and soundtrack
Disadvantages: Can be hard to follow if you can't commit for the full 2 hours

...in and I found both the characters, soundtrack and story incredibly compelling. The Oscar nominations were deserved. Although the plot in some respects is straight-forward, three woman at three points in time, it is difficult to fully explain what is to happen and how their three lives become intertwined. That said, it is worth devoting an evening to this and making sure there are no distractions, to fully appreciate the atmosphere created by Stephen ...
...myself afterwards and think about the choices you make in life and how we treat others. I don't mean to be too serious(!) but you need to be opened-minded and committed to this film right to the end to fully enjoy. Despite this glowing review, I recommend renting as opposed to buying though! ... Read review

Advantages: 2 fantastic dvds in a set!
Disadvantages: Would get more extra features if bought seperately.

...electricity, you're left feeling breathless. Moulin Rouge is a beautiful story, with a great cast, vibrant settings, and memorable songs. Nicole Kidman really shines in this character. I admit I had to watch it a few times to understand the story completely, as there is so much going on you can get distracted! But after watching a few times over, I really appreciated what a classic love story it tells and still end up in tears at the end! Romeo ...
...play. Although the actors still speak the sames words from the written story, it is set in modern times. I watched this many times whilst doing my GCSE's and it helped me understand the text. I found it quite amazing that although Shakespeare wrote the play many centuries ago, the message is still relevant in todays times. I think both of these films are must for anyone who likes love stories, music, good acting, and most importantly, great movies! ... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic Story Line
Disadvantages: Can be slightly farfectched

WOW. This is the mother of all boxsets literally. I only saw parts of the four season and decided to buy the first season and I have never looked back. The story line is absolutely fabulous, the characters are absolutely fabulous and the price is absolutely fabulous. As soon as I had watched the full packed first season I bought the second one. The advertisements of it may make it seem farfetched but it isn't the amount of things that happen makes ... Read review

Advantages: Good performances, solid writing.
Disadvantages: The direction can be uninspired.

...funny film that will make you care for the anti-hero and his dysfunctional girlfriend. The screenplay by "The Chronicles of Narnia" screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely shows another side to the writing partnership. Where their work on kids' films is rather bland and bloodless, their writing here delights in a dark sense of humour and messed up main characters. The central conceit is a little left-of-centre; a hit man getting sober ...
...harsh but oddly supportive and you can't help but hope they will sort out their personal problems and have a go at a functional relationship. The script is filled with ill-humoured comments and sarcasm that made me laugh because it was sharp. But one of my favourite moments comes when Laurel is trying to get Frank back into work; "You have a talent and I'm not going to let you waste it. Now get out there and threaten to kill that city supervisor!" ... Read review
