Advantages: Excellent presentation, commentary, great cricket footage
Disadvantages: only recommend to seasoned cricket fans

...and heroics of a sub-standard india side fighting back against the best team in the world. Below full strengh and severly under pressure, you are taken on journey of underdogs reminscient of only Rocky. The DVD captures ALL THE MAIN moments of the series and covers EVERY MATCH in the series making this a comprehensive look at the matches. The only BAD points were that the film quality could be better for me, and the DVD shows literally 'highlights' ...
...of an over, it moves away some of the tension from cricket. OVERALL: This is a fantastic purchase for ANY cricket fan looking for a good contest against the best cricket team in the world, Australia. A classic tale of underdogs and is the best series ever played bar Ashes 2005. This is well worth a buy - 9/10. ...

A sequal as a moneyspinner

Advantages: Interesting to see behind the scenes
Disadvantages: Nothing to entertain, more just a poor diary

Following the tremendous success of Living with Lions from the 1997 tour, this was inevitable given the advancement in the marketing surrounding rugby in general. Unfortunately these developments had also taken a grip on the players and management as what made the original funny and engaging was ignored this time round. The similarities between on and off the pitch from the two tours are truly remarkable. Very little is not set up, and the video ...
...probably due to the players desperation not to appear negatively in front of their public. The manifestation of disappointment is also evident as the tour itself was a disappointment. There is little in the way of individual reation in isolation, so pulic faces are the order of the day. ...

CARS!!!

Advantages: 100 cars, nice cars CARS CARS CARS
Disadvantages: none

So what of the disc itself? Each year JC loosely bases his video on a theme but this one is very specific: his personal pick of the best one hundred cars, ever. As he says on the back of the disc box, you'd expect the list to be full of "Italian exotica and Japanese turbocharged play stations. And you'd be right. It is". There's only one "veteran" car from the early days of car making, and most come from the sixties onwards. There are a lot of performance ...
...such as the Mini and the Volkswagen Beetle. Being a personal list, there are choices based on cars he's owned, and a few quirky selections - the disastrous rally car experiment that was the Ford RS200? There are a hundred cars to get through in just over 70 minutes, so obviously not many of them can get a full look in. Many (most in fact) are just shown in a still photo with some text captions about why they are there, the sort of thing that would ...

Plenty of ham but with no taste!

Advantages: Shows the darkside behind all the glamour of sport.
Disadvantages: A little bit too cynical, boxing is no worse than any other sport.

This documentary is interesting although not entirely objective. A thorough investigation of the link between boxing, and the shady characters that have undermined it in the past as well as some modern day scandals. It introduces all the promoters who have taken advantage of the games financial benefits, as well as the legitimate promoters and fighters who have been outmuscled by the 'sharks'. However the documentary fails to recognise the existence ...
...made millions. Names such as Oscar Dela Hoya, Bob Arum, Murad Muhammad and Prince Naseem will not feature in this presentation. Not entirely objective as it ignores the positive changes in the sport. This documentary is both predictable and boring. Everything is expected and this will not serve the avid fan or the casual fan. Should only be veiwed for information purposes. But its not even accurate at that! Their is no ring action whatsoever. The ...

Liverpool Treble winning season

Advantages: winning 3 trophies, having trophies back.
Disadvantages: no league

Great dvd from liverpool fc, relive the moments from an incredible season were gerard houiller and his squad of players bought 3 tropthies back to anfield in one season. see victories over roma were we won 2-0 away from home with 2 goals from micheal owen, and lost 0-1 at home but still got throught. Porto, were we got a good 0-0 away then goals from murphy and owen sent us through. Then in the semi final against barcelona first leg away from home ...
...anfield infront of an amazing atmosphere were the kop was at full voice, 1 goal from gary mac which was a penalty sent us through to the final and sent the fans mad! And for the final its self you just going to have to watch it, but its well worth the wait. i should also mention there are the 2 other cups we won that season but the uefa cup was the one that really stuck out for me. ...
