Dunston Checks In DVD

Advantages: Cast works hard, hard hitting violence
Disadvantages: No message, cliched direction, 2D Characterisations, ambling script

...Nick Love's 2004 drama 'The Football Factory' has about as much to say about football violence as 'Dunston Checks In' has to say about the depletion of rain forests, and the disappearing habitat of the Orang-Utang. A more confused film you couldn't wish to watch. It so wants to condemn and deplore the firms that roam the country looking for someone to clump, but at the same time, it works desperately hard to glamourise the lifestyle. Ironically the DVD extras feature a video by 'The Streets', and the movie itself plays out like an extended music promo. Pitching the film squarely at the Chav market, all Argos gold jewellery and Burberry, it occasionally throws a morsel to the rest of the human race, with some clumsy moralising from the older generation.

Advantages: A good fun film with plenty of action and effects
Disadvantages: None

...I have not written many movie reviews simply because there are plenty of people writing on here that do a really great job in this category and to be honest I really don't get the time to sit and watch many films. I mainly end up seeing films with the kids and having 2 boys aged 9 and 11 they are not really anything a women would really be into!

So I decided to get it on DVD... Read review

Advantages: Cenas Raps if you like his raps
Disadvantages: No matches,most the dvd based on his rap

...This John Cena Dvd had all the hype of being a great dvd and one must to buy for a John Cena fan. At the time i bought this Dvd i was a huge John Cena fan and i made a big mistake not looking for reviews on the internet or checking what others thought of this dvd. I bought this dvd to a shock this was poor a dvd with john cena mostly rapping nothing really intresting, this was like a repeat of everything i had seen on WWE tv already. The dvds only plus point was probally Cena himself taking us through the dvd it self with lame jokes. If you are a cena fan then dis dvd is not a must its a rip of for your money, this dvd was not what i expected it had 1 decent match which had cena vs the undertaker. Apart from that the DVD was one i would not watch again ever and one i wish i could sell and get rid of!... Read review
