Great boxset!

Advantages: Convenient to keep them together. Great prices around.
Disadvantages: Individual boxes smaller than normal.

In my opinion this boxset (bought for £17 from HMV) was great value. It was much cheaper than buying all individually. I only had one of the movies on dvd and had the earlier ones on VHS so I needed an update. All five parts are great quality films! It's handy that all five come in separate boxes within the one cover because they won't get lost. Each individual box is smaller than the normal DVD box size and perhaps this is worth noting. I've watched ...
...for family viewing although it is worth bearing in mind that the films seem to get a bit more scary as they progress (number 5 is particularly scary). Parental guidance is reccommended if buying this movie for very young children. In my opinion the violence and fear-factor is mild-to-moderate but is no worse than a lot of movies nowadays. I do wonder what will happen when the sixth movie is released on dvd and whether a new boxset will be available ...

BLISTERING BARNACLES! All Tintin's adventures?!

Advantages: All the gripping Tintin cartoons in one smashing box
Disadvantages: The theme tune will get stuck in your head

...books written and illustrated by the famous Belgian 'Herge'. These delightful stories are about a young reporter called Tintin and his faithful dog / sidekick Snowy. Tintin and snowy alway appear to get themselves into all sorts of sticky (and dangerous) situations with mobsters, the mafia and other such criminal ruffians. Highly entertaining stuff, with a few highly entertaining friends thrown in for good measure. Friends of Tintin that feature ...
...the memorable Captain Haddock (who is a little slow witted sometimes, and says a range of colourful, yet suitable for young ears, expletives). This is an absolute MUST for all Tin tin fans. This most excellent box set contains the cartoon series in its entirity, that is over 14 hours! It's presented in a set of 10 DVDs all in slimline cases with a Tintin biography booklet bound in a charming outer case. The outer case is made of sturdy cardboard ...

Review of The Adventures Of Tintin 75th Anniversary (Box Set) (DVD)

Transformers tranform on to blu - ray

Advantages: Good film with excellent special effects
Disadvantages: none

Transformers was a cartoon series that was first shown about 1985. It was about cars and other vehicles that can change into robots. These toys were big and every young schoolboy wanted the latest to add to their collection. Over time the fad for these toys slowly dwindled away. Then they transform onto our screens again 20 years later. The film is about the fight between the autobots, who are the good guys, and the decepticons who are the nasty ...
...which is an artifact that can create and destroy worlds. The all spark is discovered to be on earth buried deep underground. The 2 main characters in the film are Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes. They are played by Shia LeBeouf and Megan Fox. When i first saw this film advertised i thought it would not be something i would want to watch. I found myself staying with friends and they had the movie and put it on to pass a few hours, and i was in for ...

Review of Transformers (Blu-Ray)

Wall-e Perfect for Everyone!

Advantages: Great to watch as a family, Nice message, Brilliant picture
Disadvantages: You might not see it!

Wall-e is a film I think everyone should see because it is simply brilliant! I have seen it once at the cinema and because I thought it was so great I bought it on Blu-ray! Wall-e is animated film about Wall-e (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class robot) the last robot on Earth has to clean up all the rubbish humans have made on Earth which does ring a bell. However Wall-e`s boring day to day task changes when a new machine appears and everything ...
...The Blu-ray version of Wall-e costs £13.98 from Amazon so it is a reasonable price for a Blu-ray movie. If you want to find the cheapest price for this movie check out finddvds.co.uk as it is a great price comparison site for DVDs! Wall-e is rated 41st on Imdb which shows how good this film is. ...

Review of Wall-E (Blu-Ray)

Good for kids & a trip down memory lane

Advantages: Good value for money, 13 hours of cartoons! can choose which individual cartoons to watch,
Disadvantages: None

A blast from the past, you could call this. I'm not sure quite how much I can say about this but considering how often I've thought that as I start to type out a review and end up surprised how long it ends up being, I'll give this one a go as well! This definately brings back memories to me, back when I was a young child at the weekend, Saturday evenings during the late 1980s to be more exact, I remember sitting down in front of the living room ...
...our room. The cartoons may have been old even then but I quite clearly remember my eyes being fixed on the TV, waiting to see what this cool character would do next and how he would infruriate that guy with the big nose every time (you know the one!). This DVD set is certainly good value for money, in my opinion, costing less than £20 and giving you over 120 (124 in total) of the original cartoons (which everyone seems to think are the best, I can't ...
