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 ...

harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone,a fantastic film for all

Advantages: fantastic storyline and special effects
Disadvantages: slightly long

In my opinion Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone is an excellent film. The transition from book to film has been done with outstanding accuracy. The special effects throughout the film are spectacular without being ridiculous. The characters are easy to relate to and are not portrayed as being unrealistic and therefore becoming untrue role models for today's children. The moral thread running through the film makes this a great one for the ...

...my favourite Harry Potter movie. It was also my favourite book out of the whole series. I enjoyed the first film (Philosopher Stone) so I was quite excited when this movie was released ; and this film is so much better than the first! I think the main difference between the first movie and this one , is how the three main characters , Harry , Ron and Hermione have all grown up! I prefer the actors 'grown up' as I find they're not so annoying and ...

Santa's a thug

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Enough to put you off Christmas for life

...Christmas spirit, so we rented Miracle on 34th Street, a Christmas film that I’d never actually got round to watching before, but had heard lots of good things about. Synopsis Cole’s department store is in trouble, it has just warded off one attempted buy out, but the claws are out from their opposition, and they’re determined to do whatever they can to own that shop. At the same time as the news of the failed buy out hits the papers, Dorey ...
...for Doris, her Santa is a drunk and as far from the image of Santa as you could get. But as luck would have it, an old man who goes by the name of Kriss Kringle just happens to be passing, and bare and uncanny resemblance to Santa, Doris randomly approaches him in the middle of the park as he’s leaving the parade area, and offers him the job, which he accepts. Kriss makes a good impression at the store, and on Dorey’s daughter Sarah, although Doris ...

Good, not great

Advantages: It's tthe Simpsons!
Disadvantages: It's a bit too long and convoluted at times

The Simpsons series are brilliant. Witty, cleverly written satire that sometimes cuts very deep. The Simpsons movie tries to travel the same route but gets a little derailed. The idea (global environmental armaggeddon) is clever and ripe for plucking but somehow it falls a little bit flat. Strangely, the animation is almost too good for me - it's just not as two dimensional and YELLOW as I like my Simpsons. Parts of the plot are almost Southpark ...
