The most romantic movie ever!

Advantages: The story and chemistry between the two characters.
Disadvantages: Almost none, maybe it would be better if it is based on modern life say, 21st century.

...knew it was this romantic! The story just captures my heart. It's about love at the first sight and this boy who was not so well off as the girl fell deeply inlove with the girl eventhough she did not acknowledge his actions. She was this rich girl who always had rich guys at her side. That did not break this boy's courage to tackle her. They both fell deeply inlove but one day they the girl had to leave to town and all the 365 letters the boy wrote ...

Review of The Notebook (DVD)

Have a LIttle Fishy In A Little Dishy

Advantages: Gripping tale of poverty, sex, affairs, theft, sheep stealing, dynamiting buildings.
Disadvantages: weak middle part

...the mid 1970’s, which is when I first watched it, it is set immediately following the First World War. There are four series. A Total of 42.5 hours of very excellent TV. You get all this for £49.99 from Amazon, or £56.99 at Play.com. When I bought it cost about £120. I think this would make a great present for anyone over 50. Though I think younger people would get a great deal out of watching it. It shows how many people struggled to survive at ...
...sort of honary son. Though when his romance with Jessie ends acrimoniously as Jack has got his best friend’s sister pregnant the family take against him for a while. One of the most influential men in Jack’s life is Horatio Manners, this is the father of Jack’s captain in the army. The captain had died in Jack’s arms and he uses this to get in favour with Manners, who offers him a job. He turns this down when he marries Dolly sister to Matt, Jack’s ...

Review of When The Boat Comes In - The Complete Series (Box Set) (DVD)

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 ...

Review of Jack And The Beanstalk - The Real Story (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 ...
...Classification PG Gone With The Wind runs four hours including a brief intermission. It is rated PG, but with its war violence and frightening images it is inappropriate for most kids under 8. And it may not hold any interest for children under 10 or 11. AWARDS The film got 13 nominations for Academy awards and won eight: Won Best Actress in a Leading Role Vivien Leigh Best Actress in a Supporting RoleHattie McDaniel Became the ...

Review of Gone With The Wind (DVD)

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 ...
