Eric Bristow's First Embassy Victory 1980 DVD

Advantages: Great matches, packed with bonus feautres, well priced.
Disadvantages: 18 certificate, a few poor matches.

...the finale. A valiant effort, but not the greatest of Wrestlemania main events ever. Rating: 8.5/10 The DVD extras: The bonus disc is crammed full of tidy little bonus features and interviews that will entertain you for hours. Wrestlemania 3rd Degree: This is a chat show that was filmed one week before Wrestlemania to increase interest for the event, it was hosted by Michael Cole and Tazz. Stone Cold Steve Austin is the first guest on the show, and it’s a typical Austin interview meaning it’s flowing with aggression. Michael Cole really grills the superstar asking him questions such as “why did you leave the WWE?”. The next interview is with the current World Champion Triple H. Tazz makes a comment that makes HHH sound racist and the champ just explodes, as he is hassled by the crowd over his big nose. The big star of the show... Read review

Advantages: Great Australian Film,
Disadvantages: Violence may offend some.

...No reviews for Chopper ? Can't believe no one on Ciao has reviewed this classic Australian film Chopper yet, so it looks like I will be the first to do so. Chopper (DVD) Chopper is based on a true story about a notorious Australian criminal called 'Mark Chopper Read' who allegedly committed nineteen vicious murders and got away with it and surprisingly enough he wrote his autobiography whilst in jail which became a best selling book called 'From the Inside'. The film starts off very quickly,realistically and violently with 'Mark Chopper Read' played by Eric Bana (who I must say plays the part magnificently) serving one of his many prison sentences and it's not long before you see the wicked sense of humour he has and his dodgy mates. Chopper has a mixture of violence and humour and at times very funny indeed... Read review

Advantages: Amazing guitaring, classic tunes, good sound
Disadvantages: no dramatics apart from the playing

...I have recently bought this DVD and to sum it up straight away it is briliant. Eric performs on the Austin City Limits TV Show But don't by this DVD if your expecting fireworks and stage dramatics!! The reason for this is that Eric Johnson is a perfectionist, he wants every note perfect, while watching Cliffs of Dover you will notice a shake of the head when he muffles 1 note by mistake!! He even such a perfectionist he even makes sure he uses certain batteries in his pedals as that can affect the sound. But back to the DVD, recorded in Austin Texas 14th December 1988. Eric on guitar, Kyle Brock on bass and Tommy Taylor on drums. The sounds Eric can get off his guitar are out of this world. The band are very tight and Johnsons Improvising skills are amazing. My personal faves on this DVD are Cliffs of Dover, Desert Rose... Read review
