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 ...

If you havn’t seen this yet, then where have you been? A masterclass in children’s entertainment from the creators of Shrek and Toy Story. With a classic sense of fun, humour and adventure with a cracking storyline that appeals to the younger and adult audiences.

...setting where the energy of the town is reliant on the screams of children living in a parallel universe and collected by monsters that live at the bottom of your bed. The World is turned upside down by the arrival of ‘Boo’ in an hilarious and heart warming tale. This is a timeless classic that will continue to bring on the laughter for years to come. I have seen the film more than once and each time it delights as you notice different adult quips ...

Review of Monsters, Inc. (DVD)

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 Tom And Jerry - Vol. 1-12 (Box Set) (DVD)

shrek movie review

Advantages: Good price
Disadvantages: Takes to long to get you into the film

...hulk and now its shrek. Shrek is fun for all the family as it provides humour for the all ages. With jokes of a farting nature and some jokes with double entembre's which may be interpretated in a sexual nature. Sherk subdues many of the characters as what is excepted of each charachter is changed. This adds to the reason why this is such a great movie. It is an adaptation of the book by william steig. The movie provides a different but original ...
