Pavement - Slow Century DVD

Advantages: A night with the Manics
Disadvantages: Crappy menu, expencive DVD

...‘Leaving the 20th Century’. Manic Street Preachers @ Millennium Stadium, Cardiff. South Wales. UK. Just for those who don't know, this was the concert that the Manics did on New Years Eve, 1999, which continued to New Years Day, 2000, early morning. I was supposed to be there :-( But, my own band had already been booked Months in advance for that night, there was no way of getting out of it, so I simply couldn't go :-( Being a HUGE Manics fan I was gutted, this was a real Once in a lifetime experience I missed, it’s not as if I’ll have the chance again! So, to try and make up for this, my Fiancé got it me on DVD as soon as it Was released :-) Yippee!! It was a fantastic concert!, everything was perfect, the fans were going bonkers, The band looked like they were having a blast, the stage... Read review

Advantages: Great Chaplin films
Disadvantages: Could have used more extras

...'s pockets. And a potentially suicidal swain puts the icing on the cake! The park was a real public park. And seen in long shot was a couple slowly ambling along a path in the background. I wonder if they ever discovered that they were to be seen by millions of people, even into another century?

Someone of her father's own selection. Count Chloride de Lime. "Won't you be a good knight and come and save me?" asks Edna in a love letter to Charlie.

Advantages: Lots of footage, Features some amazing shots bowls and catches
Disadvantages: A lot of black and white footage

...A Century of Cricket is probably the best DVD I have purchased for under £5.Presented by David Gower, it features some of Crickets greatest players such as: Sir Donald Bradman, Viv Anderson, W B Grace, Brian Lara and Shane Warne. The DVD lasts in total for about two hours. As expected from the title the footage begins in the early 1900's, where limited footage of early cricket is shown. Some bonus features of the DVD include: Full One Day International Records; Full Test Cricket Records; Comprehensive First Class Records; Profiles On Top 40 Cricketers Of All Time; Special Section On Top 5 Greatest Ever Players. Also includes footage of Gloustershire's four consecutive one day trophy wins. If I was asked what my favourite section of the DVD was then I would probably say the ashes footage form the 1930's. Seeing Don Bradman... Read review
