Equestrian Events Of The 2004 Athens Olympic Games - Dressage Team And Individual DVD

Advantages: Really helpful, entertaining
Disadvantages: Would have liked to see more equine models

...This is a really useful DVD that would be helpful for anyone interested in show jumping, cross country or any other equestian activity. To perform any equestrian activity well, your horse or pony needs to be balanced, supple, attentive to the aids and obedient. Dressage comes from French term "to train" and that is what we all have to do in partnership with our mounts, if we wish to perform well. Dressage trains the horse to go in the correct manner and perform what is asked of it obediently. Who would want to jump a horse that did not move properly or do what theyI asked it? This 85 minute DVD takes Olympic and long-term GB dressage team member Richard Davison and pairs him up with two of the greatest show jumpers on the circuit today, John Whitaker and his son Robert. John is known for his intuitive feel for a horse... Read review

Advantages: Two good, solid main events
Disadvantages: Boring under card

...: This is basically the preview show before any pay per view. It shows promos and interviews with some of the featuring superstars before the event finally starts. On this DVD, it includes interviews from the charismatic but unfortunately Late Latino Heat Eddie Guerrero, Royal Rumble participant Mark Henry and his slightly more bearable manager Theodore R Long talking about the discrimination they both face on a daily basis and the Olympic Gold Medallist Kurt Angle (now rival wrestling company TNA's main eventer) before he shortly turned heel. Bonus Matches from Sunday Night Heat: Molly Holly vs Victoria w/Steven Richards - I respect both of these women's wrestlers for the pure fact that they both know how to work a crowd and really know their stuff. A lot of convincing false finishes made this bout look better than many that were actually on the pay... Read review

Advantages: An excellent film, by far the best of its genre.
Disadvantages: Doesn't focus at all on football as a game.

...'The Football Factory' is the 2004 film from the director Nick Love. It stars Danny Dyer and just as the title would inform you, it focuses on football hooliganism and the violence that takes place when two rival football firms come together. Football violence has long been a fascination of mine, it's an exciting and yet really quite ridiculous element of the great game that is football. When football games are played, it is often organised beforehand a meeting place for the game, an arena at which to fight it out; a clash of the titans as fans from either side pit it out in a no holds barred brutal bloody battle. The FA Cup is without doubt the most exciting event in domestic football. The Premiership is the top league, but in the FA Cup anything can happen and it is this that makes it such an exciting cup event. Teams of all level... Read review
