Save the Cheerleader; Save Me From Boredom

Advantages: Very entertaining, good plot and characters
Disadvantages: Don't buy this DVD - buy the whole series.

...find out what happens next! Heroes is a programme that I always heard great things about and always wanted to try, but since until recently all the DVDs were unreasonably expensive, I only got to watch it for the first time last week. I’m not sure how legal it is to watch TV shows online without paying, but since all episodes of Heroes are available to watch on NBC.com if you live in the United States, I don’t feel too bad about watching them elsewhere ...
...down the line anyway! Heroes is a science fiction series, with the premise being that there are some people in the world who have special abilities that us normal people don’t have. Examples include a Japanese man who can bend space and time, a woman in Texas who can remember everything that she reads, and a man in New York City who can paint the future. The prominent geneticist Dr Suresh has been investigating these people and if there is a way ...

Review of Heroes - Series 1 Vol. 1 (DVD)

Is Spock Cesc Fabregas?

Advantages: Big screen treat
Disadvantages: Not for DVD

...player, also the case with Star Trek, and unless you have a huge TV or Blue-Ray then the modern action movie suffers in translation. Star Trek is quite simply one of those big budget movies you have to see at the cinema to get any real buzz from it, director JJ Abrahams all about movies that enjoy using the entire screen space. It's all very frustrating wandering what you can't see in the top left hand corner of your wide-screen DVD screen that the ...

...faces the task of joining Star Fleet and following in the footsteps of his father. Also at Star Fleet is a young Vulcan called Spock who is also a genius and for some reason the two have a dislike for each other. When training at Star Fleet all the cadets get tested as a lightening storm and distress signal is heard from the Vulcan planet. Kirk is not allowed to go as he is facing a trail for supposedly cheating on a test Spock created but his loyal ...
...of the original series of Star Trek, I mush preferred The Next Generation so never really found out how Kirk became the Captain at such a young age and I loved how I was able to find this out from the storyline to this film. I thought that the storyline was very well thought-out and I enjoyed finding out the backgrounds of the main characters. Chris Pine played the role of James Kirk and I have to say he did a fantastic job. He managed to show the ...

Review of Star Trek (DVD)

Heroes series1

Advantages: Fast action original series
Disadvantages: none

Heroes hit our screens in a shot of fast action and special effects, telling about a group of normal people who have developed special powers its like a modern day marvel comic in real life.With a very scary villan and most o the normal people hating them this colletion of great charecters battle there way through to prevent the city being blown up. The super powers range from flying to being able to heal themselves and some scenes are very graphic ...
...a much longer indepth plot. Heroes 1 is avalible as a complete box set or 2 different part boxsets,in my opinion this commplete box set is better value for money and is avalible on amazon starting around £21.99 its rated as a 15 and there are some gory scenes ,this boxset is well worth the money and i highly recommend it,its a refreshing new series thats truley compelling to watch. ...

Review of Heroes - Series 1 - Complete (DVD)

Save the Cheerleader

Advantages: Great CGI, action, very realistic, well evolved
Disadvantages: Weak story compared to other two seasons.

Heroes is the hit US TV show, which has been broadcast on the BBC for the past year or so. Currently in it’s third season, the show features a group of individuals who, due to a change in their DNA, have extraordinary powers, from flying, telekinesis, super strength and other common ones, to some more unique, such as being able to create vortexes! I have been an avid fan of the show ever since I caught a glimpse of the first series, something like ...
...I imagine that in HD heroes would be AMAZING!! On each DVD, there is an audio commentary available for each episode, which is done by the various different actors and actresses in the series, as well as the directors, producer etc, and some with Tim Kring- the creator. Bonus Features People who buy boxsets for TV series such as this, tend to be the hardcore fans, who could watch it over and over again, which makes having Bonus Features an important ...
