Lassie Vol.5 - Voyager/Countdown DVD

Advantages: Good clean fun .
Disadvantages: No blood , guts and gore .

...From as early as I can remember I would be glued to the TV set for all the animal series or films that were being shown. I have fond memories of watching Skippy the kangaroo, Boomer, Flipper, and the Littlest Hobo but my all time favourite animal hero/heroine has to be Lassie. Lassie is the most adorable, intelligent collie dog I have ever seen. I love the way the humans who appear in the films and TV shows were easily out shone by the main star. The trials and tribulations the poor dog went through over the years were amazing. People would get stuck in a cave and Lassie would make her way to the nearest human who would of course know exactly what she was saying when she barked at them. In Lassie come home she is sold to help pay for food and rent but missing her master she walks through the whole of Scotland and part... Read review

Advantages: Extra Footage, back ground music
Disadvantages: Main Feature, menu

...This dvd is mainly about driving very fast through the streets of stockholm, also has extra footage of motor car events across sweden, and has car reviews. This dvd has a few problems, the main feature not only is not very long, has poor camara footage and very little diffrent camara. The dvd also has extra footage of events with better camara work, also which has great background music. This mainly sees cars go round tracks, burouts, drag racing. The menu has big problems with the fact that the box promises a music video and credits which are not in the dvd or on the menu at all, which was poor producing. Overall this dvd has a poor main feature but makes up for it a lot in extra footage, allthough all these problems it's not too bad!!... Read review

Advantages: It has two great movies
Disadvantages: not much known about Dayar e madina..

...This 3 pack DVD has two great blockbusters from the Golden era namely Chhalia (1960)and China Town(1962), although the other film Dayar-E-Madina , a muslim social relatively little known.. Chhalia has an impressive star cast of Raj Kapoor, Nutan, Rehman and Pran ,and an equally impressive music score by composers Kalyanji Anandji. Chhalia is by no means one of Nutan's best films, in fact it compares poorly with the Raj kapoor-Nutan starrer 'Anadi' ...the story line is a bit complicated at times, with too many twists and turns...but the music is pleasing especially Mukesh songs'Dum dum diga diga ' 'Chalia mera naam and 'Mere toote hue dil mein.. and Lata's 'Tere rahon mein khade hai ' and 'Baje paayal cham cham'....worth watching a great actress like Nutan in any film, and picturisation of the melodious songs... Coming to China Town... Read review
