offers a double billing of George A Romeros classicNight of the Living Dead(1968) and Steve Sekelys rather less fondly rememberedRevenge of the Zombies(1943).Night of the Living Deadis a masterpiece, but it has also slipped through a copyright loophole which means it has been issued on video and DVD by a great many distributors in as many variant versions. This one isnt ruined by colorisation or dodgy new footage as a couple of rival releases are, but it is soft-looking print, free of censor cuts but very washed-out-looking. The background notes inexcusably get the date of the film wrong, crassly tagging it "think Blair Witch 1964", and mention the existence of extras-filled special DVD editions, which rather rubs in the fact that this no-frills effort has none of the commentaries or documentaries found on other releases.Revenge of the Zombiesis a sluggish hour-long wartime B-picture, with John Carradine underplaying for once as a Nazi scientist creating an army of zombies (ie: a handful of shuffling extras) in the Louisiana swamplands. Comedy relief Mantan Moreland has the best moments and the trudging-around-the-backlot zombies ("things walkin aint got no business to be walkin") are fun, but it isnt especially good of its kind.On the DVD:TheZombie Double Featurepresents both films in "horrorscope", which means letterboxing and blurry image. The only extra is a list-like essay about the habits of flesh-eating zombies in Romero films.--Kim Newman

Advantages: Well acted, Great Book Adaptation Storylines, Fun for All Ages Disadvantages: Each Movie is About Three Hours Long
...be ignored by the overall storyline.
I was slightly disapointed by this third story since it really didn't go by the books my L.M Montgomery at all. The first two movies are at least based on her books , but this movie was almost entirely made up. I was hoping the third movie would follow the other books about Anne as she is grown up with Children.
Still, the movie was well made and entertaining. It was good to see the actors again, and the costumes anad attention to detail from the World War I era are fantastic. It's not as good as the first two movies, but well worth a watch.
******Conclusion*****
All these movies in the BoxSet; Anne of Green Gables, The Sequel , and The Continuing Story, are so much fun. Children around the age of 7 and up will enjoy the first one. While children more around the age of 10 and up would...

Advantages: loads of bonus features Disadvantages: none
...This is the king of all boxsets, its amazing. It has all of the matrix films plus loads of special features. Its not really for anyone who hasnt seen any matrix films yet but if your a fan its totally worth buying. Its great value for money as aswell as getting all the films you get 35 hours of special features. Overall its one of the best boxsets I have ever come across and would recomend it to anyone. Its for anyone 15 years and older and inside there are 10 discs including films and special features. In my opinion this is quite cheap as I got it for much more so I would advise anyone to get it here. I would give it 10/10....

Advantages: Very funny comedy you can watch over and over Disadvantages: Not great extras
...For me this was the best comedy series of the 1990s by far, streets ahead of everything else at the time. The laughs throughout almost every episode, from every season were absolutely guaranteed and each character grew in their own individual way into a hilarious addition to the programme, complementing each other perfectly. I can watch every single episode again and still be guaranteed a few good laughs, which is something you don't get with many comedies. My personal favorite character was Ross cos he was so goofy but you just had to laugh at him. The only downside I would say, is that the DVD extras wasn't really up to scratch, in fact it was quite poor, which may bother some people, but i didnt really buy it for the extras!...
