...long for my liking.
Vin Diesel is at his best in this film, he does alot of action films and he is normally good in them all, but this one sticks out in my mind out of the lot of them.
It is definetly worth a visit down to your local video shop to eithier rent or buy this dvd, to be honest your better off buying a copy because you are gurantied to watch it more than once....

Advantages: It's the Simpsons! Disadvantages: Warning of piracy before and after each episode!
...This DVD of the Simpsons season 4 has got to be the best Simpsons DVD yet! It's funnier and much more enjoyable than all other seasons! There are 22 episodes on here including "A streetcar named marge", "Lisas first word" and "Homer the Heretic". These are great episodes where there is Homer quitting church, maggie talking and Bart becoming a local hero! This is a great DVD and a must buy for all! I strongly recommend this to all people who ejoy watching the simpsons. I do not want to spoil any storylines but I think this is seriously the best Simpsons DVD ever. It's funny, hardcore and madder than ever! I bought it for £30 so I think this is great value for money! The only disadvantage I can think from this DVD is that you get a piracy warning before and after every episode. But apart from that this DVD is quality!!...

DVD Description
Winner of numerous Academy and BAFTA Awards, Billy Wilder's THE APARTMENT blends his customary harsh cynicism with a humane streak that appears only fleetingly in his films. The movie stars Jack Lemmon as C.C. Baxter, an office clerk who curries favor with the executives in his office by giving them the key to his small apartment for the odd afternoon dalliance. Among them is his callous boss, J.D. Sheldrake (Fred MacMurray), who Baxter eventually learns is using his place to sleep with Miss Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine), the sweet elevator operator the clerk has loved from afar. When Sheldrake coldly dumps the vulnerable young woman, she tries to commit suicide, but is saved by the intervention of Baxter. As the clerk lovingly nurses the young woman back to health he begins to realize, with the help of epigrammatic neighbor Dr. Dreyfuss (Jack Kruschen), exactly how much of a fool he has been. Wilder brilliant depiction of the average American office as a place of brutality, coldness, and alienation conjure up Kafka and Marx. The director seduces the audience into what appears to be an unusually frank sex comedy, but turns the tables in displaying the consequences of the executive's cold indifference. Lemmon and MacLaine both give career performances and MacMurray is memorable as the blandly smiling snake.
Professional reviews
Review: This comedy tells truths about American business and sexual morés as uncomfortable now as they were in 1960 (Empire, 13/06/2008)
A gleeful, tender and even sentimental film (New York Times, 13/06/2008)
Diamond-sharp satire with a brilliant performance from Lemmon (Time Out, 13/06/2008)
Most of the time, it's up to director Wilder to sustain a two-hour-plus film on treatment alone, a feat he manages to accomplish more often than not, and sometimes the results are amazing (Variety, 13/06/2008)
Advantages: Cenas Raps if you like his raps Disadvantages: No matches,most the dvd based on his rap
...This John Cena Dvd had all the hype of being a great dvd and one must to buy for a John Cena fan. At the time i bought this Dvd i was a huge John Cena fan and i made a big mistake not looking for reviews on the internet or checking what others thought of this dvd.
I bought this dvd to a shock this was poor a dvd with john cena mostly rapping nothing really intresting, this was like a repeat of everything i had seen on WWE tv already.
The dvds only plus point was probally Cena himself taking us through the dvd it self with lame jokes.
If you are a cena fan then dis dvd is not a must its a rip of for your money, this dvd was not what i expected it had 1 decent match which had cena vs the undertaker.
Apart from that the DVD was one i would not watch again ever and one i wish i could sell and get rid of!...

Advantages: Excellent training video with lots of tough skills. Disadvantages: Not for Beginners and terrible football Kits
...I've got Simon's other DVD's and this one is in the same tradition. It is worth getting for the players tricks in the warm up and the dribbling at the end. Simon Clifford worked on the Michael Owen DVD, the Okocha DVD and play like a Brazilian. Apart from Simon's kit the DVD is excellent and no matter who you are you will learn a trick or two.
This DVD is definitely not for beginners it does not cover any of the basics but if you can already do turns like the cruyff and the Matthew's this is the perfect step up for a budding Ronaldinho.
Some of these Tricks are very tough and you will really need to practice them everyday which is why the Workout with Mr Woo is so good.
The Mr Woo work-out is excellent the things that man can do with a ball is amazing it is a variety of moves that you should practice for one minute every day.
