'All too brief' history of football

Advantages: Some decent footy action
Disadvantages: Skips too quickly through the football timeline

...make a definitive DVD charting the rise and rise of the beautiful game? This tries, and fails to do this; trying to squeeze the history of football into under two hours of action is similar to trying to rewrite the bible on the back of a stamp. There is far too much to cram in to justify such a title - The history of football is by far the broadest title possible for such an illustrious sport. Theres the odd world cup game here, the odd FA cup final ...
...minutes, rather than the hours it would take to justify the films billing. And the distinctly English pespective (narrated by the distinctly annoying Alan Green) means that those St. Georges specs are applied to deciding which games make the cut and which don't. This hardly makes the entire package worthwhile 'A history of English Football' make have been an altogether maor accurate title. To save yourseves time, attempt to get a copy of FIFA's ...

Advantages: We Won
Disadvantages: been a long time since

Picture the scene,England v's Germany,in a World Cup Final,forget political correctness,this is the one that means so much,to so many,for all manner of reasons,and yes it does it. I had wanted to see this film for for such a long time,To be honest I always wondered,did England really deserve the win?or was it just another sporting ripoff and we were given the World Cup on a plate,because it was played on home territory.Well I'm so glad my fears ...
...so do the Germans. All though, I like nearley all the rest of the world knew the outcome,It is still edge of the seat gripping stuff. I already knew of the legendary names and there skills,but one man really stands out,Alan Ball,they say the modern player is so much fitter and faster now, are they?watch this man,where does he get his energy from?and great skill, he was fantastic,nobody wanted it more. The Goals were all superb,but the final goal ...

Review of How To Take Up Carp Fishing (DVD)

The best of aston villa 2005/2006 all summed up in 160 minutes

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. ...
