Review of The Notebook (DVD)

"Marriage, fun? Fiddle-dee-dee. Fun for men you mean."

Advantages: A pure classic
Disadvantages: Very long.

GONE WITH THE WIND (1939) DVD (2006) "There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields called the Old South. Here in this pretty world, Gallantry took its last bow. Here was the last ever to be seen of Knights and their Ladies Fair, of Master and of Slave. Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered, a Civilization gone with the wind." The opening words of Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With The Wind" I ...

Bean 'n Gone

Advantages: Disc would make a nice Frisbee
Disadvantages: Too many to count.

...and since this, I wonder? Jack (Costello) gets a job babysitting a young prodigy-cum-brat, and Abbott plays his manager. The prodigy-cum-brat is basically a… well… brat. In an attempt to settle the boy down, Jack reads the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. We leave their black and white world and, very ‘Wizard of Oz’ like, we appear in a colourful world where Jack lives with his mother. The story is pretty much the fairy tale story that everyone ...
...the gist? However, when Jack starts to climb the beanstalk, along with Abbott – who plays a butcher (Jack swapped his cow for the beans with the butcher – was basically conned, but the giant takes the cow and Abbott wants it back; plus the giant has a goose that lays golden eggs… added incentive for Abbott), the village below bursts into song. This surprised me somewhat as I did not expect that. A bit of ‘filling in,’ I suspected at the time. But ...

The first set of characters within the play are the lords and ladies which consists of four main characters who are all affected by love in different ways. To begin with, Demetrius is being forced to wed Hermia by her father, Egeus. Hermia does not like ...
...in their eyes. Helena, the one who loves Demetrius, is always pestering him to take her back but he doesn't love her so therefore, he intends to marry Hermia. When Hermia and Lysander decide to run away however, all sorts of adventures take place and create a very enjoyable play within the human's story. However, there are another three characters involved in the human's story and that is Egeus, Theseus and Hippolyta. Egeus is the overprotective ...
