Review of A League Of Their Own (DVD)

"BOBBY........ HELP ME!!!"

Advantages: A great compelling story
Disadvantages: A touch overlong

...I at last come across The Boys From Brazil. I cannot remember when exactly I first saw this movie, however the movie stays in my head and is certainly memorable. This is a very deceptive film, people often assume its a boring war film. That was the answer I used to get anyway "Why do I want to watch a war film?" The Boys From Brazil is not a war film, this movie was well before its time, dealing with issues that frequently occur in today's movies ...
...Idolises Lieberman and eventually finds the evidence he need to win Lieberman round. He makes a tape recording of Dr. Josef Mengele (Gregory Peck) ordering a series of assassinations around the globe. And announcing that the Nazi forces shall again rise and this time take full control of the world. Getting this information costs Kohler his life, and Lieberman becomes haunted by the fact that he ignored Kohler's warnings. With information gathered ...

Review of The Boys From Brazil (DVD)

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. ...

Review of The Magic Of The F.A. Cup Manchester United (DVD)

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 ...
