In the presence of giants...

Advantages: Straightforward and engaging
Disadvantages: None

...California. Jeff Clark had been riding these waves for 15 years on his own until he finally persuaded a couple of others to join him, and suddenly the area (known as Mavericks) became huge. Until then it hd been thought that all the big waves were in Hawaii and couldn't be matched - but at Mavericks they were matched, and in some cases beaten. Bringing us up to date we meet the man most people describe as the best big wave surfer ever, Laird Hamilton, ...
...few others pioneered a new kind of surfing where you are towed-in to the wave so you can get up to speed more easily. This suddenly makes the biggest waves accessible, and also paves the way for smaller boards (a third smaller than the standard big wave board) meaning you are more manoeverable and faster.

Advantages: Very detailed look at the 2005/2006 season
Disadvantages: There arent any

The aston villa season review 2005 / 2006 is a trip down memory lane at the highs and lows of that year! This particular year aston villa struggled under david o'leary but the positves were the inclusion of some very promising youngsters in the first team squad. It is a very good dvd which includes month by month results,squad profiles and match stats and who could forget the 3-1 win over close rivals birmingham city which is included as extended ...

The subaru impreza story (dvd), a good enthusiasts dvd.

Advantages: Intresting history and good interviews
Disadvantages: Dated, too padded out.

The Subaru Impreza story give a indepth reveiw of the 'classic' shape Impreza Turbo. It includes the history of the rally team and the development of the rally and road car. it also shows the options to enthusiasts of how they can modify their own cars and reviews the advantages of joining clubs and features lots of drivers on track days. The DVD also features interviews with some of the most infulential people behind the development of the car. ...
...Knowlage about the marque. However some parts are just included to fill space and the sound track, in my opinion, is very dated and a little annoying. I'd recomend this DVD to any Hardcore Impreza fan, but it only covers the 'classic' shape and does show its age. ...

Car crash TV - Exploitative, manipulative and totally compelling

Advantages: If you were a fan of the Warrior, you need to own this
Disadvantages: Pretty biased for a documentary

...abuse and personality clashes. The WWE hired and fired him no less than three times, each time trying to recapture the magic of his first run, before they parted ways in 1996. He surfaced again two years later for a brief stint in rival organisation WCW before finally calling it a day and retiring. As is common practice for retired wrestlers, WWE has put together a documentary charting his career. Normally such things tend to be a bit of a love fest, ...
...lengths Vince McMahon and the WWE will go to to try to get one over on him. It's no secret that Warrior was a difficult guy to work with backstage, and I don't doubt that he let his fame and success go to his head, but even I have a hard time believing some of the stories being thrown around - this is very much Vince McMahon's version of the truth, in which he portrays himself as a patient, forgiving, understanding man who only has his wrestler's ...
