Metal - A Headbanger's Journey DVD

Advantages: lots of extras
Disadvantages: poor poor film, poor acting, poor everything

...brothers into a flask and back through hells gates before his father dissappears. Back on earth, the brothers are taking the places of priest, politicians and even referees to try and make everyone believe in the ethos that evil is good. Nicky is joined in his quest by two headbangers and a talking dog (haven't seen that before maybe in men in black have we) thats about it for the storyline, apart from a small lovey dovey sub plot, which is pointless and worthless but seemingly required for every movie now.

Advantages: The beautiful, beautiful music by Danny Elfman
Disadvantages: More special features would add to the DVD

...Watching this film could send shivers down the stiffest spine. Made in 1990, and starring famed actors Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder, 'Edward Scissorhands' is a beautiful story . Edward was created by an Inventor in an eerie mountain top mansion. Sadly just as the hands to Edward are announced , the inventor falls to his death leaving Edward with shears of metal for hands.
