Disadvantages: Nothing!

...to share one cold room. The only way to keep warm was to burn sticks which the children had to collect. On a cold winter's day, Bernadette, her sister, Tionette, and her friend, Jeanne, were gathering firewood beside a river. They had been out all day and it was now growing dark. Tionette and Jeanne set off for home, crossing the icy cold river in their bare feet. Bernadette hesitated. She didn't want to cross the river because it was so cold and ...
...Jeanne called to her from the other side of the river. Bernadette was just about to follow them across, when she heard the sound of a great wind.

Review of Life On Mars - Series 2 - Complete (Box Set) by MI9to5

Advantages: Fantastic Show
Disadvantages: NONE

Life on Mars was definitely my favourite TV programme and probably still is. Series one was fantastic and series two simply picked up from where it left off ********NB: I apologise now if you feel I have included too many quotes, I just wanted to highlight how good I feel the show is.******** Life on Mars tells the story of Sam Tyler, a police officer, who after being hit by a car woke up in 1973. He constantly questions his own sanity and at the ...
...the title track David Bowie's Life On Mars. All of the songs are authentic to the period and combined with the costumes, hairstyles, buildings and mannerisms of the show the feeling that you are in the 1970's is always prominent (and I wasn't even born then). The show itself is very well written and filmed. It is comical and satirical but also manages to hit the nail on the head on more than one occasion. The best thing however about this comedy ...

Willie Beamen - what a player!!!
Review of Any Given Sunday (Special Director's Cut) (Wide Screen) by beanie8844

Advantages: good plot, great acting, fab ending
Disadvantages: not enough on field action, have to endure Willies vommiting

...neck!" Conclusion I think Any Given Sunday is won of the all-time greatest sports movies. Not only does it have a genuinely great cast and the acting is fantastic, but it explores some sides of American Football that not many people would know about, like illegal drug taking to enhance performance, physiotherapists who push players to play when perhaps they shouldn't because the pressure to win is so great and the ego's of some players. As I said ...
...gives is very memorable. Well worth purchasing on DVD. Director - Oliver Stone (Platoon, 1986, Natural Born Killers 1994 & World Trade Center 2006) Producers - Richard Donner (The Goonies 1985, Conspiracy Theory 1997, )& Oliver Stone Released - December 22nd 1999 (DVD 1st September 2000) Runtime - 150 minutes Thanks for reading.

My Life without me more my life without this film
Review of My Life Without Me DVD by anathemaMark

Advantages: Well cast, moving story
Disadvantages: May be too hard going and morbid for some

This film is aheart wrenching potrayal of a woman on the edge, with beautifully scripted dialogue and a haunting soundtrack to boot this film draws the viewer in and wont let go until the end. I found the film a joy to watch, it is well shot with scenes moving into each other seemlessly and a well cast, Sarah Polley and Mark Ruffalo give a sterling performance and Sarah could not be better cast for the role. The film is not easy to watch and not ... Read review
