Mike Reid's Under Par - Vol. 1 DVD

Advantages: good animation
Disadvantages: sometimes weak story

...Summary- The anime trinity blood is about the vatican city who sends people to kill the vampires that are terrorizing earth. One such executor Abel who is sent out on a mission meets a girl called Ester, where from there on the story of the two develops. Review- Animation- Spectacular. Starting off with amazing character designs, they incorporate computer technology, with breathtaking and wonderfully drawn settings, engrossing the audience into the trinity blood world. Story- the story about vampires and the vatican rule is both good and bad with its bad parts and then it can be really amazing. The character and story development maintains but not as great as most animes do. Overall this anime is worth a watch but can sometimes be hard to maintain a constant watch of the series. But overall it is good but not up to par with other... Read review

Advantages: Great Plot, like the cinematic style
Disadvantages: n/a!

...I quite like Guy Richies cinematic style, so was not disapppointed by Snatch. As with other Richie films, it follows multiple colliding subplots, with reasonably clever linking between each subplot. (He's pretty clever to link diamonds, a betting shop, gypsies, boxing, the KGB, and a pig farm anyway!) Richie tracks the movie with the main character Turkish, a boxing promoter, as he jumps between increasingly tangled subplots. He ducks and dives with an underworld played by big and small screen actors e.g. Mike Reid with Brad Pitt. The director extensively uses small 5 minutes 'runs' of subplot, before cutting to the next to give you a feeling of them occuring at the same time. The film has a feeling of traditional Ealing comedy, with quite a humourous script. Occassionally it can be violent, though mainly by implication rather... Read review

Advantages: Can be watched as many times as you like
Disadvantages: Not enough time to watch all episodes back to back

...I bought this dvd as soon as it came out. After catching a few episodes on television i was hooked on it. This series follows a group of special F.B.I agents in the most elite profiling team, experts in getting into the heads of criminals. Each team member has a special attribute. The team in total consists of seven people who all play their part in solving some of the worst crimes a person can think of. I paid £24.95 for this dvd from asda. Prices will vary depending on where you buy from. It is well worth the money if you like crime/ thriller programs. it comes as a box set. The special features include the making of the program, deleted scenes and meet Matthew Gray Gubler, who plays Doctor Spencer Reid in the show. I fully recommend this dvd box set for fans of this type of show. [Edit] The runtime for each episode is just... Read review
