Advantages: It's Star Wars!
Disadvantages: You're having a giraffe, right?

STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE 5 Stars - Genius! End of review. What? You need more? But what else is there to say about the starting point of George Lucas' behemoth franchise that hasn't already been said? Countless polls have already established that Darth Vader is the biggest bad arse ever to set foot on celluloid; the Star Destroyer thundering into view over Tattoine is one of cinema's greatest opening sequences; the Millennium Falcon is the coolest ...
...typewriters have already said about Star Wars during the last thirty years. From Leia's bagel shaped ear-muffs, to Han shooting Greedo first, to the comedy stormtrooper who fails to duck under the blast door; in all seriousness, do you really want to hear all that gubbins again? You do! Bunch of mindless gibbons… A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, (Originality raises a lightsaber to its heart and proves it's no match for a blaster at the ... Read review

Advantages: Great plots, brilliant acting
Disadvantages: The future looks tacky

...me when I began watching Quantum Leap as a kid. Every night I would come home from school, hog the television and eat junk. I'm starting to see why I was a bit tubby as a child… In the last couple of years I've lost some weight, but still love Quantum Leap. Having a crappy job means I can't come home and watch it on the T.V. so I decided to see if it was available on DVD. I was in luck, they had started releasing them and were up to season 3. Being ...
...good idea that was too! It All started when… I can sense by now that a few of you don't really have a clue what the programme is about. So I shall tell you a few things. First of all, its made by Donald P. Bellasario, the guy behind Magnum PI, JAG, NCIS and he worked on the original Battlestar Galactica. He's cool. Now for what its actually about. Scientist Dr Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula in his uber hot days) is at the head of a time travel ... Read review

Advantages: Great movie, great for horror and scifi fans, special features offer great insight.
Disadvantages: Film is a bit tedious, and supplemental files cannot be viewed from the menu.

A brilliant DVD. Cloverfield is an amazing, intense experience. The handheld camera angle makes the movie much more involving, and in turn a much more terrifying piece. The acting is good, the characters are really realistic and you really feel emotionally attached to them. The monster, named Clover, only really appears in a few scenes, but these scenes are extremely well shot and are very scary. The special features consist mainly of the Cloverfield ... Read review

Advantages: Spectacular action scenes which defy all logic and laws of physics
Disadvantages: Silly. Very silly. And I wasn't comfortable with the violence.

...take it as an action-comedy, Wanted has enough visual flair and wildly overblown ideas in its action scenes to entertain its intended audience. However, herein lies a major problem: for a marketing campaign aimed so squarely at teenage males everywhere, this 18-rated film isn't half violent. I don't normally mind violence in movies, but this goes way beyond all taste and decency; this is just sadistic. If you're a fan of CSI murder re-enactments, ...
...a similar 'self-discovery-through-violence' ideology, but Wanted takes it to unwelcome pastures, its message seeming to be that you aren't a man until you've brutally taken revenge on whatever causes you grief; that killing is the ultimate stress reliever and coming-of-age test. For each of its interesting ideas (a keyboard smashed on someone's face sending keys and teeth into the camera to spell a message; clearing a building with a thousand exploding ... Read review

Advantages: Good filmography, good special effects, believable characheters
Disadvantages: the love story between two of the leads wasn't really needed to enhance the film.
