Eyewitness Interactive - Planets DVD

Advantages: If you child likes Buzz they will love his adventures at Star Command.
Disadvantages: Cartoon animation - but who cares!

...The adventure begins! Bought this for my three year old son who is Toy Story and especially Buzz Lightyear mad. This is full length animated cartoon - length 67 minutes. In widescreen format. Zurg and his henchmen have invaded the Little Green Mens Planet to take over the universe and Buzz and the Space Ranger cadets try and save the day. The voice of Buzz is the 'Toy Story' original Tim Allen. Any fan would love the cartoon and has spend hours in space with Buzz - All a parent really needs for a bit of peace. The story is entertaining and engaging - great pressy or stocking filler! The DVD also includes an interactive comic book. Surf the net and you can get this for a very reasonable price....

...This is a truly moving story of one man's fight for his freedom when he is wrongly accused of multiple murders. A young man comes across a book written by the accused legend known as 'The Hurricane' and along with two friends helps fight for his release from prison. They face many obstacles along the way, but with the help of a few key eyewitnesses they put together a strong case and are eventually able to take the case to a retrial. A story or courage, loyalty, determination and belief in a forgotten hero. It portrays the discrimination that was once apparent between different races all over the world. Award winner Denzel Washington plays the lead role. I would strongly recommend this film, even if you only watch it once you will be sure to remember the powerful story line forever.... Read review

...Hugely disappointing waste of Jackie Chan's talents, this film should be avoided like the plague. Being an enormous Jackie Chan fan I had very high hopes for this. It has absolutely no redeeming features whatsoever. Chris Tucker is the most irritating man on the planet bar none and unfortunately Jackie is reduced to the role of amusing little foreign man which is unforgiveable. The stunts and action sequences are forgettable, coming as secondary to the dreadful interaction between the two main stars. I feel quite gutted that Jackie Chan's bit Western break has come to this and it is sad that most people will be introduced to his vast talents with this truly awful film.... Read review
